People earlier were wondering where he might have first seen Jayme, and how he developed some soft of obsession with her.
It was said, very innocently of course, that it didn't matter since it's obvious he did find her, etc.
It almost certainly does or will matter to Jayme, if not now, then years later. She absolutely needs to know where he saw her, and that there was nothing she did or could have done differently. She didn't know she was stalked.
As part of her healing, she needs to know 1) That he's a very different kind of sick person, an antisocial personality disordered person with violent tendencies and what that means as she ages, and 2) Which vast majority of her future activities she can feel very safe in, if he focused in on her at one location or maybe even one time only at a specific place.
This is very very hard to put into words for me.
Because of Elizabeth Smart's experience, she may or may not still give money to the poor in Temple Square or hire down on their luck handymen for her own home. ( I think I know the answers, but I cannot speak for another person).
For another survivor, it would have been another set of activities which he or she may never have to repeat such as going to a deserted laundromat ( just an example) or going to a mini mart late at night.
For others, they may have had years of needing to repeat the same thing which happened when they were taken, which would scare me more than I can say. Maybe the repeated exposure to the same or similar circumstances lessens the flashbacks and the panic, IDK. I choose not to ever know if possible.
The process of abduction itself usually changes the survivor's level of trust out of the " safe zone"- usually a personal or family home- and trust of strangers. As healing continues, it's not rare for some object, phrase, scent or stranger closeness to cause a certain type of mild to moderately severe flashback and severe anxiety, usually. It's likely not proper for us to know what that will be for Jayme, but I can tell you it's so real and so strong for some, we have to hold onto something to even remain standing, or we have to leave the area with haste.
I am lucky, I guess, that my stalker/ abductor didn't wear a uniform, ( did carry his badge and shoulder holstered gun) but a suit. I have aversion to suspenders, even just seeing them ( usually older TV programs) , and any exposure to the scent of Grey Flannel, which was the men's scent he liberally had applied every time I was in my office and he entered there, and later when he stalked me while I was just living my life.
There is a certain formerly very famous politician who was extremely similar in dress style and what I'd call " strutting" and could have been the man's brother in every aspect of personal appearance in hair and face, maybe almost twin- like, although they never stood side by side as far as I know... I'd have to leave when the man who looked so similar was on TV. I'd have difficulty now with this if he was still a popular national figure.
I will likely never fully trust the authority of anyone with a badge again, even though I worked on this in therapy for some time and we decided the power inequality was the problem issue I could not/ cannot control as an ordinary citizen.
Other survivors of life- threatening acute hostage situation
will have other triggers. Some people suppress them for a while, but the connection likely will come to the forefront of one's attention when the psyche is ready to accept the image, or smell, or other sensory memory.
It is extremely important to identify them and to learn to either accept that they're similar but not the same, which can be very difficult if the perp. dressed in such a way as to stand out from others for his intended victim for a long time, or to leave the area of the triggering things or person if that's the survivor's choice and it's easily done.
I've seen photos of some extremely distinct offenders shortly after the crimes, and I'd think the triggering responses would be lasting and great, regardless of the survivor's high level of functioning in all visible areas.
Sometimes, the deepest hurts do not show at all. Jayme's youth is a huge boon to her in learning desensitization to most triggers she will almost certainly have. We do not have any need to know what they are or anything about this. I chose to share the most visible and noticeable scent which are not distressing to read, because of respect for each of you, and because I don't want to over-share.
