Ohhh--thanks for this. I had that confused then.
I certainly believe this is very plausible; however, suppose there is truth in the "information" that both phones went dead together at 10:40 PM on the evening of the 23rd. It does look pretty certain that the simultaneous or nearly simultaneous going dead event for both phones did happen. Apparently, it's the time of the occurrence that is questionable--according to Mrs. Kesse.
This makes me think both phones were together somewhere. Maybe both in her briefcase? But I think her purse is missing, too; and I have this feeling that she would want to carry her own phone in her purse.
Now that I type that out though, I'm thinking maybe she could have had Travis' phone in her briefcase and her own phone in her purse. As both her purse and briefcase are missing, (I think) there is nothing to say that someone couldn't have quickly retrieved Jenn's phone from her purse, did whatever to cause it to go dead; then opened her briefcase and did whatever to cause Travis' phone to go dead. (The person would have had to have known that she had Travis' phone, though.) It could have been Jenn herself, I suppose; but I can't understand why she would turn her own phone off. According to Mr. Kesse and Rob, she often used her phone for safety purposes when she was alone. Also, some people suggest she used it as her morning alarm, plus she usually communicated with Rob in the morning on her way to work.
I can see her turning Travis' phone off--especially after they talked. (I wish we had a time for that call, but I do assume it would have been before her phone conversation with Rob.) And, she was supposedly ready for bed when she talked to Rob.
Yes, the security alarm bothers me. I'm sure Jenn would have set it regularly, without fail. Even if she ran out unexpectedly Monday, later evening.
Interesting, too--if her alarm was set, it should have sounded if her balcony door was accidentally left unlocked, or if someone tried to enter her condo by popping the door lock or something.
So, there are three ways she could have "disappeared" Monday night. One: She went out on her own for some unknown reason. Now, I consider that her parents say that would never happen. As well, if she went out to try to mail Travis' cell phone, why would she get herself all done up and place his cell phone in her briefcase? If it was me, I would throw on my most comfy clothes, stick my hair in a pony tail, not bother with my contacts, grab Travis' phone, throw it in my purse with my own cell phone, and be off. As well, why would safety conscious Jennifer have not called someone to say she was going out alone and asked them to stay on the line with her while she ran her errand?
Surely, she would not have been really rushing, so she should have taken time to set her alarm and lock her door.
Plus, I can't fit in why the appearance of a morning shower. If she disappeared in this way, surely no one would have returned to shower.
One more thing I'll add in here--if she went out unexpectedly and came across the evil SOB, how would he have known how much gas was in her vehicle so he could gas it up to make it look like it wasn't driven much further than 1.2 miles? I'm willing to concede that he could have gassed it up, or even been prepared with a gasoline can, but it doesn't fit if Jenn's abduction was a random event.
Two: After she talked to Rob, someone came to her condo, she knew the person, she let the person in. But that makes me think whatever went down, went down in her condo; so, why no signs of violence? How did that condo end up "maid clean". Interestingly enough, Jenn's car could also have been considered "maid clean." Plus, if Jenn knew him it's highly likely someone who knew Jenn also knew him. Why could no one recognize the POI that parked her car--assuming it's one and the same person.
Three: Similar to above, but this person is a stranger or a casual acquaintance. He somehow gained entrance to her condo, maybe through the balcony. He may have surprised her as she was dozing off to sleep. And here we go--why no signs of struggle; why move Jennifer's car; why move her? Why leave her night clothes on the bathroom floor, but take time to throw a towel over the washer? Why wouldn't the alarm have sounded?
Absolutely, either of these thoughts could be the one. There is one more, though. What if someone she knew turned up with some Chinese food, piping hot. Maybe an old friend who asked her to remember how many times they had shared Chinese takeout and talked the night away. Maybe she just didn't want to slam the door in his face and send him away.
But, see #2 above.
I don't think the morning shower and the evening phone pings/power off events are both correct. One is, and one is not. And still, neither of them work alone. All I can say is that I'm missing something. I keep looking. Maybe the podcast will bring something to light.
Now I wrote a small novel and have to apologize for the length. Sorry.
