Link Between Missing Woman, Serial Murder Suspect Probed
A composite sketch of a man wanted in the disappearance of Patrice Endres and a mug shot of Jeremy Jones (l-r)

Forsyth County investigators are in Mobile, Alabama investigating a possible connection between a missing Forsyth County hairdresser and a suspected serial killer, 11Alive News learned Thursday.
Sources close to the investigation told 11Alive News Forsyth County detectives are at the same facility where authorities are holding suspected serial killer Jeremy Jones.
Patrice Endres went missing from her hair salon in Forsyth County nearly nine months ago. Detectives have had few clues in the case, but did release a sketch of a possible suspect based on a witness description. Police believe the sketch and a picture of Jones are similar.
Investigators have previously said there was no obvious link between the two and Forsyth authorities would neither confirm nor deny the trip to Mobile. They did, however, say they have developed new leads in the Endres case over the last month.
To date, Jones is charged with two murders - one of them being the murder of 16-year-old Amanda Greenwell, a Douglas County resident.
Additionally, Louisiana authorities on Thursday were considering charging Jones with the murder of a suspected prostitute killed in February of last year. Her body was found in an empty lot.
He is also a person of interest in other murders across the country.

An accused serial murder suspect is now the prime suspect in the disappearance of a Forsyth County woman, authorities said Wednesday. Patrice Endres was last seen in the beauty salon she operated last April.
Forsyth County Sheriff Ted Paxton named Jeremy Jones as a suspect in the case today and said their investigation is now completely focused on him.
Investigators also confirmed that they have talked to Jones in Mobile, Ala., where he is being held on murder charges, but declined to divulge what they learned.
Investigators believe the body may be buried along Sweetwater Creek. The dogs have alerted to a scent. There was, in fact, at some point in time, human remains in this area which we are focusing on, Paxton said.
Jones is a former construction worker from Miami, Okla., charged in Mobile County with capital murder in the Sept. 18 slaying of 44-year-old Lisa Nichols, who was raped and shot in her Turnerville home before it was set on fire.
He also has been accused of killing Katherine Collins, 47, a prostitute in New Orleans who had been raped and stabbed. Her decomposed body was found in a vacant lot in February 2004.
In Georgia, Jones is charged in the death of 16-year-old Amanda Greenwell of Douglas County, whose remains were found in April. At the time, Jones had lived in Douglasville under the alias John Paul Chapman, the identity of a prisoner he knew.
At the time he was arrested in Mobile, Jones was wanted in Oklahoma for rape and failure to register as a sex offender. The arrest triggered inquiries from other states where he has lived.
Jones earlier has been questioned in the Dec. 30, 1999, disappearance of two Oklahoma 16-year-olds -- Lauria Bible and Ashley Freeman.
Paxton said, a month after the death of Greenwell, Jones may have wandered into neighboring Forsyth County and come across Endres alone in her salon.
Wed be more inclined to say that it was a sexual predator type of a motive that may have escalated into murder, Paxton said.
Additionally, at todays press conference, authorities said they have arrested a woman for giving a false witness statement to police.
Reports of a white van that was seen in the area around the time of Endres disappearance and a sketch of a possible suspect are now being considered bogus.

I am so glad you found this article. We have suspected for awhile but always have hope. Patrice's family may be able to get some soltice from this info. Please, people don't discount serial killers as they are pervasive and ever present although it is a minority of killings. But, the most unexplained have to be shuttled into this category.

Suspect admits killing hairdresser, police say
By DOUG NURSE
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 04/04/05
Suspected serial killer Jeremy Bryan Jones has admitted to killing a Forsyth County hairdresser who went missing from her salon this time last year, police said.
Jones has told police that he was driving aimlessly along Ga. 369 in a drug-induced haze on April 15, 2004. He said he stopped at Patrice Endres' salon in Matt for directions. Seeing she was alone, he kidnapped her and then raped and killed her near his home in Douglas County, authorities said.
"He said his only intent was to get directions to get back to Douglas County," Sheriff Ted Paxton said. "After he went in, he realized she was there by herself and seized the opportunity. For all the work we've done, the only time he ever set foot in Forsyth County was that morning."
Jones, 31, is being held without bond in the Mobile County, Ala., where he awaits trial on a capital murder charge in the death of a woman there in September 2004.
He also has been charged in the murders of a Douglas County teenager who lived near his mobile home, and a Louisiana woman. He is suspected in several other killings in his native Oklahoma and in Louisiana and Georgia.
Jones told sheriff's investigators he got high on methamphetamine that morning, jumped in his red Jeep Cherokee and drove without any destination in mind. He said he remembered driving through Canton, and then became disoriented. When he stopped at the Tamber's Trim-N-Tan salon, he found Endres, a petite brunette who fit the body and hair type of other women Jones is accused of killing, police said.
Paxton said Endres was forced to come with Jones at the point of a weapon that the sheriff declined to divulge, leaving some cash and an unlocked business.
Based on Jones' confession in interviews to Forsyth County deputies in January, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office began searching for Endres' remains at Sweetwater Creek at the Riverside Parkway bridge near the Chattahoochee River. They used dogs specially trained to find cadavers. The cadaver dogs have at least twice indicated that a body was once there.
Investigators brought the state forensics anthropologist to advise them, and they set up a grid to comb through the vegetation and debris for any evidence, said Douglas County Chief Deputy Stan Copeland. They collected soil in hopes of finding Endres' DNA there, but laboratory analysis is still pending. Because of rains and floods, the body may have washed downstream and any DNA may have been flushed away as well. Divers also have not had any luck finding Endres.
Paxton said evidence at the salon is scant as well.
"In some places, you can collect hair samples as evidence, but my God, it's a hair salon, there was hair everywhere," he said. "There were fingerprints on top of fingerprints. Just the setting itself was one the biggest obstacles we faced."

Greta had Patrice's husband on her show last night. Apparently he's been on several times before. Even Greta was disturbed by this turn of events. There was a LE official accompanying Patrice's husband and Greta asked him if he thought this guy was telling the truth or not. The LE official said that this guy has given a few details of the crime that only the perp would know.
The perp has also told LE where he put her body, along some type of tributary. Anyway, they've returned to that location several times and not found anything, although the cadavar dogs keep returning to one particular spot. The LE official said, it appears at one time their may have been a body at that spot.

PS...I think they're still doing forensic testing on his vehicle as well........fran

Suspected serial killer Jeremy Bryan Jones, imprisoned in Mobile County Metro Jail, allegedly confessed to kidnapping and killing a Georgia woman who has been missing for nearly a year, authorities said this week.
Forsyth County Sheriff's detectives said Jones told them that he found Patrice Endres, 38, alone in a hair salon April 2004 in Cumming, Ga., and decided to kidnap her.
Jones, however, told a Mobile Register reporter Tuesday that he hasn't confessed to killing anyone. He said his work record will reflect that he was on the job the day that Endres was kidnapped.
Paxton's investigators said Jones told them that he got high on methamphetamine the morning of April 15 last year, got in his red Jeep Cherokee and drove without any destination in mind.
They said Jones acknowledged stopping at Endres' salon, Tamber's Trim-N-Tan on a remote stretch of Georgia 369 in north Forsyth County, investigators said. There he met Endres, described as a pretty brunette, who resembled some of the other women Jones is suspected of killing.
Paxton said Endres was forced to leave with Jones, who was armed with a weapon that police declined to describe.
The cadaver dogs have at least twice indicated that a body was once there. Because of rain and floods, the body may have washed downstream, and any DNA may have been flushed away as well. Divers also have not been able to find Endres

Suspected serial killer Jeremy Bryan Jones says he regrets that the FBI failed to match his fingerprints to an Oklahoma case when he was arrested three times in Georgia on minor charges.
Jones, 32, is charged in three killings that occurred after the FBI didn't match his Oklahoma prints with those taken in jails in Douglas and Carroll counties.
"I wish they had found them," Jones told the Mobile Register in a phone interview from the Mobile County jail Thursday. "I would have been extradited back to Oklahoma and maybe stand trial for rape. It would have been nothing."
Jones added his voice to those earlier this week of family members of the four women authorities say he killed who said they are angry that an FBI computer glitch resulted in Jones being mistakenly released three times.
If the FBI fingerprint system had worked properly, Jones said Thursday, he "never would have been labeled a serial killer."

An Oklahoma newspaper has reported that suspected serial killer Jeremy Bryan Jones confessed to two murders in Commerce, Okla., but the police chief there said Friday that he's skeptical of the confession.

Serial killing suspect Jeremy Bryan Jones denied killing anyone and said during a television interview aired Wednesday night that authorities in several states have made up alleged confessions.
Jones cited the case of missing Patrice Endres of Cumming, who disappeared mysteriously on April 15, 2004, in Forsyth County. Earlier this year, authorities there said Jones confessed to killing her and dumping her body in a creek.
``Patrice Endres. I was on the time clock working at Lafarge Rock Quarry in Douglasville. They have records of that. That's why they haven't charged me,'' Jones told the television station

Sgt. Tony Wooten, the spokesman for the Dawson sheriff's office, said bones were found about 12:30 p.m. Tuesday behind the Dawson church by church members who saw buzzards in the area.
He said the remain have been sent to the Georgia Bureau of Investigations, although he declined to say if the remains were those of Endres.
The woman's husband said he is still haunted by his wife's disappearance.
"My whole life has been destroyed," said Rob Endres, the husband of the missing woman. "I'm not living, I'm existing."
Jones has been charged with killing Amanda Greenwell, a Douglasville County teen and a Louisiana woman.
He is also a suspect in 10 other deaths -- seven in Oklahoma, two other killings in Georgia and one in Kansas. State and local law enforcement also believe he may be linked to the slayings of four Atlanta-area prostitutes.

Skeletal remains have been found that could belong to a missing hairdresser who is believed to have been killed.
Patrice Endres disappeared from her Forsyth County hair salon in April 2004. Authorities have said suspected serial killer Jeremy Jones is a prime suspect in the case.
The remains were found Tuesday afternoon in a wooded area behind a church, said Dawson County Sheriff's Department spokesman Sgt. Tony Wooten.
The remains have been sent to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's crime lab, Wooten told The Associated Press early Wednesday.
Endres' husband, Rob Endres, told Atlanta television station WSB he believes the remains could be those of his wife.
Wooten would not comment on whether the remains were those of Endres but said they have not ruled out any possibilities. Investigators planned Wednesday to search for more evidence where the body was found.
Despite a massive search, Endres was never found.
Jones was sentenced to death Dec. 1 in Alabama for the rape and murder of a woman. Jones has also been charged in the deaths of Amanda Greenwell, a 16-year-old in Douglasville, and Katherine Collins, a 45-year-old New Orleans woman.
