I'm trying to figure Joshua Palmer out. He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to put a dead girl in a suitcase, let alone kill her. There's not much to go on, except FB posts. There's nothing there that seems violent to me, and I've seen plenty of verrrry sketchy FB pages in my sleuthing.
To me he seems immature, needy and looking for a permanent relationship, based on his posts. Although he has 859 FB friends, very few even "like" his posts, let alone comment on them. One post about wanting a hug and asking people to "like" the post to send a hug had NO responses.
If he hadn't just been arrested for murder, I'd almost feel a little sorry for the guy. Or is that his MO?
Shauna seemed needy too, so I wonder if that drew them together. I sense some sweetness and loneliness in both of them. I wonder if they were just friends-with-benefits, rather than an actual couple. Or was one of them more invested in their relationship than the other, leading to Shauna's death. Was it an accident, covered up?
Of course, unlikely people can do unexpectedly brutal things. Who is Joshua Palmer, really? If he did kill Shauna and put her body in a suitcase...what led up to it? I hope her autopsy will shed some light on her tragic death.
What we know about him:
33 years old.
From Yorba Linda, which is a little northeast of Disneyland in Orange County.
Went to Dallas Baptist University in TX.
Worked at The Old Spaghetti Factory (as did Shauna).
Signed up for Landmark Education August 2015--personal development, relationship courses.
A friend asked last November if he was in NC, presumably North Carolina.
On probation for a DUI (link in one of the articles upthread).
He never mentions Shauna on FB, that I can find.
