If my information is correct, Megan didn't go by the working name "Jasmine". That was a friend of hers.
lorraine owned up to being a drunk
for most of Megan's life.
Lorraine and little Greg slept in the bedroom. Big Greg and Karen slept in the living room on the floor. This was the home Megan Waterman was born into, on January 18, 1988— a rented room occupied by her mother, her father, and her father’s new girlfriend. And this was when Muriel reentered Lorraine’s life and took her children away from her.
(p. 42).
Together with Lorraine’s sisters, Liz and Kathy, Muriel worked to start a file on Lorraine, writing down what they saw happening with the baby. When she was accused, Lorraine’s response was achingly familiar to Muriel. When she couldn’t deny, she shifted blame.
(p. 43).
Muriel raised Megan and her brother as if they were her own. Greg Gove visited the children for a few years before leaving town. Lorraine saw them, too, but only when Muriel had the patience to allow it. That turned out to be just enough exposure to earn Megan and Greg’s unbridled resentment and anger. Many of Megan’s closest friends didn’t even know she had a mother, and those who did knew that Megan despised her.

Tragically sad about Megan.
It doesn't matter whether a victim of murder came from a horrible home life or a had a near-perfect childhood. Judging the parents of murder victims has no bearing on finding a killer unless the parents are associated with the murderer.
Trying to understand WHY a woman becomes a sex worker is a different topic.
Agreed. It just doesn't matter what these girls life were like for them well growing up. At the end of the day this perp did not pick these girls out because of how they grew up. He picked them out because they were on websites advertising them self as prostitutes. IMO it was because people have known for a long time that when a prostitute goes missing no one really cares. This guy new that LE wouldn't care at first that these girls were missing. It bought him time and also left LE with little to go off of.
Try and remember that it could only be a coincidence that they all advertised on line and have nothing to do with why they were picked.
