Message from the Mods...
Discussing the appearance of the suspect or anyone in this case is not allowed. Do not speculate on the suspect's sex or gender. She has been named as a woman. Any discussion of sexual orientation or appearance must be related to the case - if you can't show a connection, don't post it. No Name calling - not even the accused!
Do not post something saying "I think this is the same person..." with a link. If you don't know it is the correct person, do not post it. Post only if it has to do with the case.
Social Networking: No copy and paste. Links only and paraphrase. If the page is private leave it alone, private means private, if its a minor, forget about it! No sleuthing or naming innocents. Jonathan's family members are considered victims - so post accordingly.

Just wanted to say that I feel so bad for MN's children right now. Everytime something comes out from MN's past I think of how they're feeling. From what we've read they had to have had a life of he$$. grandfather was a RSO, mother was a career criminal and now this. Even tho they are in no way involved in any of this, they must be feeling mortified.
 
Does anyone know if DD has children of his own, and if so how many?
 
I do think it's weird that he's leaving houston.. however, every family I've ever known who has lost a child (Sids, still born, or accident), which is 10 families. 9 of them divorced, and SD and mom's relationship was on the rocks anyway..... :(
 
was just getting up to speed on the previous thread and was struck by this post from @howfortunate and the need to carry it over:



I've been following this case as a lurker, woke up this morning and realized I had something to say, so here I am....

Many years ago, when my sister was killed in an accident, I read a book about grieving that stayed with me for one particular passage, and it's something I want to share with Jonathan's family and all of you who may be haunted by the thought of what Jonathan and others may have endured.
The author (who I'm sorry I can't recall) was counseling a family whose daughter had been tortured and killed by a serial murderer, and the one thing he really wanted them to take to heart was to realize that whatever it was she endured, for her it was over-- it's the family and other survivors that re-live it over and over, whereas she only had to live it once, and afterwards was at peace. As survivors when we re-live these events on behalf of our loved ones we can imagine that it is as never-ending for them as it is for us, but that is not the case.

Thank you howfortunate, for posting those thoughts and thank you for coming out of lurkdom to pass that on. Welcome
 
IMO, Mona's family is shocked, but open to the current charges:

SNIPPED; BBM

"He was going to go down there and sit in front of her and speak to her and see," he said.

And re attack on her own adult child:

According to the probable cause affidavit in the case, the officer "observed multiple injuries to her daughter's face, arms, neck and hands."

The daughter was also bleeding and had a knot under her right eye,
according to the document.

but did any of your friends leave town 2 days later and leave the grieving mother on her own? I'm sorry, but that tells me a lot about this man's character. Even if his marriage is rocky, this moment should not be about "his" feelings and what is making "him" uncomfortable. He should suck it up and be there to support/comfort his wife.
 
Why did the step father admit he was there to look on him even though it would be suspicious? I imagine it would look even worse if he didn't admit it and then police found witnesses who saw him there? It's not a good idea to lie to the police, obviously.
because he may have been seen there. If he didnt take burn and dump the body, whats there to lie about?

fwiw I do not rule out others unknown or known. I question DDs associations, and cannot rule out involvement (not neccessarily DD) from others, yet.

We don't know they are not together the article doesn't say where mom is...

No, but Jonathans mom went to her mom's house according to Renee a couple days ago, so what is to say mom or grandma even wanted him around ya know..
 
is any of this relevant to the current investigation? If LE thinks there is something wrong with this man leaving I am sure they will address it.

Presumably they did separate before this child was murdered so JF's mom might not want him around. And as he is not a suspect then clearly he is free to move about if he so desires.

I missed that he was leaving Houston. Was a reason stated? If he is leaving town the LE must be extremely confident he has nothing to do with the murder. Do you have a link for that? TIA

You are probably right about them not wanting him around. I was just left with a bad taste in my mouth when he said he had to get out of Houston because the memorial outside the apartment was making him uncomfortable. If Jonathan was "his boy" why would a memorial showing people's love/compassion make him uncomfortable? I just don't get it.

LE was extremely clear during the press-conference they ruled other people out.
There is no reason for LE to lie if it wasn't the case.
 
Does DD not work and have family in Houston area? How can he just leave???
Bet he was just blowing air!
 
Out of curiosity... Did they clear the others out of the crime itself or clear them altogether from any involvement? I should research it myself, but I'm curious if anyone has the info off hand. TIA.
 
I for one, can completley understand him wanting to get away from those apts. and Houston. He's got to be imploding right now. Nobody said he was leaving forever. Maybe he just needs to go cry and punch walls and grieve at a friends house outside of Houston. JMO
