I've wondered about what she must have been like in that moment because we never see that screaming out of control banshee in court or in interviews. She seems remarkably calm. It's so hard to picture! Do you think, maybe she wasn't a screaming banshee and instead was silent but stealthy like a...

I thought I knew everything about the case, but no. I can't believe this diary entry from 08/02/07 that did not get into evidence, I don't think. What kind of person goes from thinking "Gosh, I love him so much" to "extinguish HIM" (not the love) in one sentence? Here's the text: "I love...

I agree! Don't see the anxiety there with Jodi. She seemed umbelievably calm and serene for the first verdict. I too have been diagnosed with GAD, but it's a "mild" form (mild makes it sound almost harmless--it's not!) If you want to see anxiety in an interrogation, just watch this video of...

I'm intrigued by the high functioning Asperger's diagnosis that some have mentioned on this thread because it could explain certain aspects of her personality that observers seem to have trouble categorizing. It explains the genius level verbal skills, the incredible "focus" once she got an idea...

I heard she studied Travis' MySpace and put the same favorite authors to make him think she was perfect for him. Did you notice Travis' sweet comment at the bottom? Its eerie how both of their Myspace pages are still up and all of Travis' sweet comments are there. Her postings are all over...

Very interesting idea! It's true that she's not really "void of emotion" because she was filled with rage and jealousy! Also, remember how her mother said, "Jodi would call me in the morning all happy, and then an hour later, she would call back crying hysterically about something and she...

Wow, I have never considered this, but it's a fascinating theory! I can see how she might be a highly functioning woman with Asperger's!

:yesss: Wow! :takeabow: Ummm, that was brilliant! All of it! Where did you get the book info? What type of books?

So do you think the inital "trigger" (sorry) was the romantic rejection/devastation she felt? And the rest of the pieces were the final nails in his coffin (stop it!)? I'm really not trying to be funny because this was a horrific event, but those phrases just seemed to fit here.

That's fascinating, Linda. I was immediately fascinated by her when I saw the interview she did in her jail clothes a few years ago--a "press conference" they called it. Then, later, I saw the 48 hours video. I honestly don't remember if I believed her or not when I had no evidence before me...

Yes, I couldn't agree more! I've asked myself WHY am I so obsessed with this case, and along with all of the obvious answers, it's because I worry for my children and for myself. Could I get sucked in by someone like this? A neighbor? A co-worker? Someone that could hurt me or my family? I...

EXACTLY! That's a great example. Didn't Samantha in Bewitched have a similar character? And think about Black Swan--not in terms of the hair, but in terms of the motif that white is good, black is evil... This entire concept of good vs evil is why I am so obsessed with this case, along with...

Wow! Very, very vivid. I wonder if the accusations that he leveled against her a week before came into it--"you're a psychopath" and whatever that revelation was going to be about her to friends and family? The saddest part is that your scene (above) is missing about 13 "stabs" (to get you to...

Being a relatively "normal person," it's so hard for me to picture the moment that the attack started :stormingmad: (I suspect he'd been taunted for a while, though). HOW in the world do you go from taking pictures to attacking? It's just unimaginable to me. But my burning question is, based...

I was listening to a snippit of the interview and I noticed that she said, in reference to being "forced" to tell the "truth" about who Travis really was, "I had to tell the tr-- (pause), I had to answer their questions." What a slip! Notice how she stopped herself and wouldn't say the word...
