I agree. When mom said Jonathan really wasn't with a sitter, my heart dropped. You just can't lie, as the truth will come out. I wonder if both mom and SD have been hooked up to poly's yet -- or lawyered up? Does anyone know?
Best,

Does anyone remember the name of the lawnmower company on the t-shirt DD was wearing? I am recalling that correctly, aren't I? If not, then it's way too late and I need to go to bed...!
Thanks for being honest. I'm hoping they will find her because it's a gated need a key to get in type trash area... so someone that lives there is the mother.
Sorry for the OT!
Just an FYI..."far northeast Houston" could possibly still be the area off Hardy Road or close to it. To me, and to many here "east" just means east of Interstate 45. Or to some it means east of Hardy Rd/Hardy Toll Road. To others it means east of Highway 59. If you look at a map I45/Hardy/H59 all run parallel to each other going north to south. East is just whatever part of town is to the east of each of those by whoever is talking. Sorry if I just confused you even more...
Yes, we teach good manners here in the south. Yes ma'm/sir is how my children talk to other adults.
My kids speak to any adult with manners, they don't say yep, nope, what, or any of those when speaking to an adult including us. It is yes ma'am, no ma'am, yes sir, no sir or just sir or ma'am. My husband is from tx and that's how he was raised and when we lived in MS it was expected of ur children to speak that way. Also no chewing with ur mouth open, smacking or talking with food in ur mouth. U would not believe the people here in MO when there eating, it's like watching a cow
Did I read it right that mom's current husband, aka the stepdad, wasn't living in the home? If not then where was he staying? What part of town? Where did he work? Is he from Houston? What neighborhood did he grow up in? Was he at the house when mom got home and found Jonathan missing? Why did he stop by house if he wasn't staying there? I know, I know, I really need to catch up but y'all are too fast....

and what if they say "Far" east?

"Far" NE Houston to me means up 59 towards the Humble area. But I'm very south of town, so what do I know, not much for sure, lol. I rarely roam north of I-10.
we have no idea if he worked or were, where he was born, where he grew up, does he have kids from a previous marriage, or even married before. All those questions regarding him are not answered for his name is way to common and searching has been a nightmare to locate anything.
Let's assume for a moment that the calls were real. What do they tell us?
Did coworker recognize JF's voice? If so, was that because he had a habit of calling? If he were a "pest" so to speak and called often and bothered his mother while she was working, perhaps her initial assumption might have been "there's no real problem."
From what's been reported, RVW (raspy voiced woman) asked JF if A was his mother. That would indicate that she didn't know the mother. JF supposedly said "Yes, ma'am."
Now, I know the south is different, but around here (Connecticut), 12 yr old boys don't generally call people ma'am. (perhaps the aunt could comment regarding whether that would have been normal for him?) Might that suggest that RVW was an older woman? Or maybe it means he didn't know her name?
And some further thoughts. If there is a roommate, is that a reference to the step dad? If not, is roommate male or female? If female, did she have a boyfriend? Who else had access to the apartment? Was the door kept locked? Did mom/step dad/person she was living with have a drug problem (which could have resulted in other unsavory types being in/around the house? Was JF left alone regularly, and if so, who knew about it? Why were mom and step dad living apart? (Given that she was living in the same complex, I do wonder if they had a tiff over something and she was staying with a friend for awhile.)
Assuming the phone calls are legit, I don't think the step dad would have had time to do anything with the boy. (That is further assuming that the police know his whereabouts over the time since the abduction, and that there are no large blocks of time where is is unaccounted for.)
and what if they say "Far" east?
