I have read and followed Jennifer's case loosely over the last 3-4 years and stumbled upon something odd the other day while on a jobsite.
I have my own large contracting company, and work with large subs, painters, carpenters, etc.
I was visiting a large condo complex, and was jolted back to snippets of Jennifer's case when I walked around the corner and noticed a large Hispanic painting crew working on the units- dressed almost identically to the POI in this case. Coincidence? I don't know. I'm no one special...just a hard working biz owner so what do I know.
What strikes me as odd about this case is the simple lack of aggressive investigative work the police/detectives did on the workers who were present on the job and apt complex where Jennifer lived. At least from an information standpoint, that is my opinion.
To put it simply....workers were there painting. As large as that complex was, SOMEONE- whether it was a contractor, building owner or the painting subcontractor himself- had a account open at a Sherwin Williams, Duron, Benjamin-Moore etc.
I know this as a fact.....with numerous men on the job, they would go thru paint and supplies quickly. So quickly that the workers would need an open account in order to keep paint and supplies headed to the job on a consistent basis.
This means there is a record of a purchase of supplies for that job. Stay with me here.....the POI seen in the surveillance video looked to be wearing painters paints....these are not a common shopping mall item- most, if not all painters pants are bought right in a paint store. They are cheap, they are plentiful...and best of all most companies do not frown on employees grabbing 2-3 pairs when picking up supplies.
Did investigators try and find the paint store where these workers were getting their paint and supplies? Did they look thru records? Someone has to SIGN for paint that is delivered...supplies that are delivered, or anything that is purchased in a paint store with an account is the same. Maybe a name pops up that investigators do not have a record of interviewing?
Secondly- no matter if Jennifer's door was locked or not- most HOA and condo/apt buildings under construction have 1-2 "master" keys floating around so that men can get in and out of units quickly. No contractor wants men standing around waiting for a landlord or maintenance man to lock and unlock units that need to be worked on or painted.
Jennifer didn't simply walk out of her building without being seen with numerous workers present. Someone probably had a key to her apt...a master key and was waiting on her, or let themselves in while she was showering. The abductors had a plan before they ever walked thru her door.
I have read nothing about any of these angles being explored.
Just my thoughts...thank you.
