Rules Etiquette & Information - Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community
 
New Thread - everyone, please take a minute to review the rules and etiquitte right here: [ame="http://www.websleuths.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=159"]The Rules - Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community[/ame]

REMEMBER: We don't sleuth or disparage or insinuate about family UNLESS LE or MSM give us reason to. If that happens, the mods will let you know.

ALSO - we don't post random pics of people on facebook. We DO NOT involve the innocent in these horrific cases.

Sometimes you might stumble across something that you think is pertinent, but is against TOS to post. If that happens, the best course of action is to make a note of it and keep it UNDER YOUR HAT. Don't post here. Wait to see if the parametersof the case change so that the info does become important. If in doubt, contact a Mod for help.

Thanks,

Salem

Social Networks

Regarding Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and other social networking or blog websites: Links may be used to direct posters to view something on a social networking page. But postings on social networking sites are not considered fact; they are rumor. Copying and pasting, or taking screen caps, directly from these pages is not allowed. Paraphrasing is okay. (Exception: If the Twitter or Facebook post belongs to a verified news station, it may be copied. But a link should still be provided.)

Also, social networking pages may only be linked if they are directly related to a case, i.e. the victim or suspect. We don't want to post to someone's mother, brother, employer, milkman, or postal carrier just because they know the main player. We also NEVER link to minor's pages (unless they are the victim). And be sure that the page actually belongs to the person being discussed. Do not link to someone if you are not 100% sure it is the correct person. And if a social networking is set to private and you get in the back way, you may not post what you find. Private means private!
 
MOD WARNING:

Any further discussion of ANY member here is going to result is a loss of posting privileges for a week.
This hysteria and WILD speculation is utterly ridiculous and RUDE. I've watched perfectly innocent people, (members in good standing here!) be alluded to (sometimes outright, other times more thinly veiled) as a possible perp for weeks now and hoped folks would calm down.
Patience is officially gone. There is little I feel so strongly about as this.
STOP IT NOW. Zero tolerance.


Please Continue Here...


 
No offense to anyone in particular, but I find it very odd that people are judging this kid based on PHOTOGRAPHS?

Yes! I'm applauding you. Please tell me who looks 'good' and 'wholesome' in their mug shot? No one I've ever seen.

And ditto your comment about his mother. A brave and heartbreaking thing to do. I cannot imagine having to face what she is facing, knowing she gave birth to a child who could (and did) do what he did to anyone, let alone a young girl.

Oh and another thing unrelated to your post, NC Analyzer (I meant to post this earlier). He's not Latino, not Mexican, doesn't appear his cross was related to devil worship, not an Etsy kind of guy, he hasn't murdered 3 people before (2 counts of murder are for Jessica only), he wasn't taunting so much as making mistakes and trying to avoid detection...the list goes on.
 
Does he have a facebook page? I couldn't fine one.
 
I wonder if he is connected to the attempted abduction of the 8 yr old boy. That would be very interesting and would make me consider that he might be going through a confusing time concerning his sexual identity.
 
Remember the misunderstanding between the 18 year old and the 13 year old boy who thought it was an attempted abduction? (It turns out the 18 year old was only trying to contact an ex-girlfriend). I thought that 18 years was too young for the perp who abducted JR. Now to find out he's 17!?
 
WATCH LIVE NOW. Jessica's paternal family speaking now. Father at news conference. Great-grandmother says wants killer set on fire.

Now on KCTV5.com, video will be put up later if you miss it.
 
If I had the wings of eagles, I couldn't keep up with this thread today! LOL

And on other though, this doesn't feel like a crime of rage or even hate. More so a person without emotions or with contempt for human life wanting to finally see what it is like to kill and dismember. It's seems more like just an experiment for him.

We are not sure yet if those statements are correct. IMO

Do we know his ethnicity? Do we know if he secretly dabbled in the black arts?
Do we know if he harmed anyone previously? We know he attempted to.
Do we know if he taunted LE in any way? I think he might have. JMO
 
As much I am a big LE fan, with what we know so far I am not sure LE had all that much to do with this (alleged) killer being caught. Will have to wait and see, but if he simply confessed to his mother and/or she quizzed him about something she found in the house, wondering if he would have been caught otherwise, especially if he laid low and did not re-offend, i.e. if it was some sort of "experiment."
 
Grandmother says she think the notches represented his victims.
 
Just saw on HLN that suspect in Ridgeway case is being charged as an adult.
 
I had to take a break and go do something normal with my boys, just to remind and reassure myself that all teen boys aren't turning into monsters. I took them shopping because nothing is more reassuring that my nearly 17yo is still a child than to watch him sneak candy, caramel apples and strange flavored chips in the buggy every time I turned my head. I bought them all because just this one time it feels good to watch him be a silly child eating a bunch of stuff that is surely going to make him sick. He will act even more childish when I make him take Pepto but even that is going to make me smile and hug him tight.

We bought glo fish and a glo aquarium for no other reason than the kids loved them and it was just silly enough. Sure, they will be boring in about 3 days and I will be the one stuck feeding them and cleaning the aquarium but even that feels right. Every now and then I will yell at the boys and threaten to give them away and they will feed them themselves for a few days after but in the end they will move on to something newer because children usually do.

Tonight we will order pizza for dinner and eat it nowhere near a table while we watch mindless tv and laugh over all the jokes my 12yo doesn't get. Then we will make the caramel apples, even if it turns out to be a disaster and my kitchen ends up looking like a tornado hit it.

While we do I will tell the boys about Jessica & Autumn. I will tell them all about 2 little girls that aren't looking forward to Halloween now because monsters took them and make sure they know monsters aren't always dirty old men. Monsters don't always look like the boogey man. Monsters can be the kid down the street that talks bikes with you and joins in on normal games. I wish I didn't have to say those things or tell them about 2 girls they will never know but I have to because it has became the world we live in. I'm so sickened by that reality but I can't ignore it.

*and in the time it took me to type the last 2 paragraphs my oldest is teasing his brother that he is going to feed the glo fish to the cat & put the cat in the aquarium to see if it glows under the lights! He isn't a monster but he's no genius either.

Yes it is very early days yet and no conclusions should be drawn as to motive.

I dont think it has anythng at all to do with sex. I do not think it mattered to him if it was a boy a girl or a small woman.

I think this was about a thrill kill the others were lucky to escape him but the more he did it the more confident he became Little Jess was right there for the taking and all alone!
