We should probably avoid Dominic Casey for hire on this case. LOL
You make valid points tho. One thing that would stand out if it were a worker is he would have been gone until lunchtime when her car was returned. Someone would have noticed this or it would have been noted on his work record for that particular day.
Exactly and taking that thought process one step further - they had to have records of what time each person started work because otherwise how would they know how much to pay each individual? I assume that in the States businesses have to be able to account for where their money goes i.e. you can't just say to the IRS 'oh yes, that $50k we withdrew out of the business account went to pay the illegal immigrants we use to work for us. Records - oh no, we don't keep records of how much we pay each person - believe me the whole $50k went on wages and I swear none was pocketed by me so I could avoid paying tax on it; you will have to trust me on this'. Do you see what I mean? On a smaller level the Foreman of the site must have had to answer to his bosses about where the money budgeted for wages was going each week.
If one of the workers was absent from the mosaic for any period of time on the day Jennifer went missing, someone would know about it and I believe the reward money offered would have made that someone come forward.
Drumstick, I think it was you who said that by the time LE had the pic of the POI (or as I like to call him in my mind, sorry mods!), the workers would have scattered, there would have been no-one to show the pic to etc...my thoughts are that LE found the car 2 .5 days after Jennifer vanished. I hope and assume they started looking for images of the person who parked the car immediately following this - it was the best lead that had after all, LE 101! So then at most they should have had those images another 24 hours after the car was found - we are now looking at 3.5 days after Jennifer went missing. If they then showed the pics to the Foreman (for lack of a better word) at the Mosaic, and in between the morning of the 24th and the 27th - 28th when the pic is shown, a worker has high-tailed it - wouldn't that set alarm bells ringing and wouldn't LE then be looking at that specific and also missing person very closely? Presumably information specific to that person would then have been released to the media - after all we are 3.5 days in now and time is of the essence....however as we all know, no additional information was released and LE did and still do, seem to be chasing their tails on this one. No disrespect to LE in general intended, I love LE but I think we all agree Jennifer's case was handled badly.
So, in summary, I think it is unlikely to have been a worker who abducted Jennifer unless LE was extremley incompetent and dragged their feet massively after finding the car, or unless the Foreman and other workers lied about any absentee workers, or finally the worker was recognised by the Foreman who was told not to say anything to LE by the company who were responsible for the workers being their in the first place, out of a misplaced fear of them being blamed for what happened to Jennifer because of the workers they chose to use. IMO the last of these options is the most likely scenario although I still think it is actually quite unlikely...just to be on the safe side maybe the Foreman does need to be interviewed again in case he did lie...could now be suffering a huge case of the guilts all these years later?
O/T - Thanks for reposting what Leftcoast had written SS - very poignant.
