The tatoo's anyone know what they may mean???
like the RED STAR??? TRIBAL ???
Give us any hints to clubs? fantasy? movies? any guesses???
 
Snipped this from an email from a friend in Palm City, FL. I had sent her an email to see if she or her mother have seen any news about BS and JE and TS, as they are both originally from VA and it would have caught their attention:

"I did see the amber alert 3 times. They think they are headed to Florida. Showed photos, the license plate number, Va tag from Salem and he killed the Mom. They did a pretty good job. Showed a good photo of both of them and the car."

I was also encouraged by the sighting in the FL Walmart, even though it turned out to be a false sighting. Tells me there are people out there not afraid to call in and get involved if they think they have information.
 
Do they know they are heading a certain way, or just guessing by where his relatives live?
They could be anywhere in 5 days, even in California, if they had cash for gas. And they probably could have stolen a car without another state thinking of any connection, if they even know about Brittany. There should at least be a national APB/BOLO, if there is not already.
And they could easily have stolen some plates, from that rumor church van or anyplace.
 
We used to drive from Key West FL to NC (Middle upper state) and driving straight thru, with gas/bathroom/food breaks only took us 20 hours at the most. We were booking it too. Key West is on the very tip of the islands .. it is usually very warm there too. Lots of homeless camp out on the beaches there. BUT, it would be dumb to go there, there's only one road in and one road out..


Yes this is where I live..... And They have cleaned up all the homeless Camps but there are a lot of Campgrounds, And Boats...
 
I wonder if Brittany even realizes there is a nationwide manhunt for them. If she knows, she might be a little more brave in trying to attract the attention of someone.
 
I sent the posts with the flyer and car to my friends out of state esp CA & FLA & TX.
Maybe we all could do that and they can do that also and we can get more word out.
Being young and dreamer, IMO he would head for a warm, beachy place.
 
Hi all. I'm new but a lurker.

W/r to the tattoos, I am looking at that right now. The star is a "nautical star" and it is supposed to symbolize someone looking for their own path, and to the stars for guidance. I will keep looking for more info.

Hope they are found soon.

The red star is a nautical star this is the meaning wikipedia gives

The Nautical Star on the left wrist aligned with the thumb is believed to be a positive guide for the future. The left palm is used in palm readings to reveal a persons future and the nautical star is used in this instance to guide the palm. As with many tattoo designs, the nautical star may or may not be intended to convey a meaning to the viewer. In some cases, the wearer may simply appreciate the design for its beauty, simplicity, symmetry or ability to serve as a backdrop or an additional ornamental element of any tattoo. For other wearers, the symbol is intended to convey one of a variety of different meanings.

"This symbol is often associated with sailors and those who make their living on or by the sea. Quite apart from the military/naval connotations, the nautical star recalls the sailor's reliance on celestial navigation. At times, the tattoo can be coloured in red or green to symbolise membership of the port or starboard watch, respectively.[1]

Often, though, the symbol is used to convey an allegorical, rather than a literal, meaning. The link to celestial navigation could, for example, symbolize that the wearer's wish to find his or her way home safely, particularly in the case of military personnel. Further, it could express a desire to find one's way in life more generally."

If only 1 driver and on adreneline rush, how far away could JE drive from Fri night til
today??? I'm bad on mileage and speed and time. I know that my hubby and I both driving with few pit stops made it from PA to Fla in 20 hours straight just 1 time.
Could they be in ARZ, TX,CALF by now??? where it is allot warmer than in the east???

The big thing that bothers me is the silver neon is not seen any where, do they have another car? I heard about a red SUV mentioned on here also at the beginning.
By now state troopers and truckers would BOLO for them on all interstates.

I was visiting my son on an Army Base when 911 happen, he told me to take his little brother and go home to AZ without stopping, that was a 37 hour drive. We only stopped to use the bathroom, I was the only driver! You would be surprised under stress how far your body will go to get away from something!
 
I am so afraid for this little girl. I think of her daily. I no longer think she went on her own. I think he took whatever feelings she had toward him to the extreme! I am afraid that once this child no longer wants to be with him and travel like this without money or food or shelter that he is going to be very angry and become desperate.

My heart aches for her. She needs to be found. Is there a COD yet for the mom? Is her dad helping at all? God if this were my child I would map out all the campgrounds from VA to Florida and start making my way through them. I would not be able to sleep until I found her.

Also do we think she witnessed her mother's murder?
 
Do we know where the nautical tat is on JE body???
on his wrists????

answer to my own questin............dah, I should of read the flyer! HIS FOREARM!!!!
and tribal is on his CALF.
 
Anyone Know what the Gas Mileage and Size of Tank on a Neon?
 
Do we know if he was in the Navy? Or ever had a boat?
 
I think the reason for no sightings in those states is because they may have left Salem as soon as they were done at Wal mart and booked it to A warmer state like Florida, and I know Driving from Florida (Miami) to VA would only take about 29 hours of straight driving and that would bring us to Sunday and at that time there wasn't even a amber alert for people to look for them.

I see what you're saying! I think.....LOL! I think it is logical for LE to assume they booked from Salem the night of the WM trip. I mean, why hang around? I wonder if there have been any additional purposes along the way using TS credit cards.

The Neon would need gas at some point. I wonder how many fill ups would be needed for a neon to travel from Salem to Miami. (I am sadly, not good with math skills, LOL)

BTW, My dear bf just called me from Raleigh, NC on I-40 and there are no AA's at all on the sign in our state capital. GRRRRR:furious:

MOO

I think I remember someone saying it was on his calf because they commented that as cold as it is, we aren't likely to see his bare legs.
