Thanks for clarifying Gardener 1850. I guess I'm trying to convey(without mentioning names or specifics) that sometimes the people a teen chooses to follow on their social media apps can raise red flags based on what you know about the teens life.
In this situation regarding the games, I was just curious if maybe LE determined that Jayme played digital games and became friendly online with individuals/groups that posted/played about digital games? Also, was Jayme possibly following unknown adult males who may have disturbing posts or comments about things that raised red flags ? It seems to me that in some situations(could pertain to this case) that concern may arise when looking at the other people an individual follows . Does the young teen "fit in" on their following page? Does the young teen seem to stand out amongst the other other images or interests they are following. To the point that LE has said that they are now focusing on electronics, many teens have 500-2000 followers on their apps , which could take LE many weeks to track down. I have also read here that many perps can also hide their IP addresses, which could also take more time for LE to figure out. In my opinion, that's maybe why LE is focusing on this area now.
An online connection is certainly possible. The reason I discount that Jayme was talking to anyone through apps or games is that it seems like 2 weeks would be long enough for LE to figure that out (and just FYI there were a few Instagrams made using Jayme's name that seem to have been made and started accepting followers after she went missing-- they are fake accounts likely made by people following the case. Her real account had very few people following her before she went missing and she was only following like 3 people if I recall correctly). I think LE have been looking at the electronics and social media footprint of the family since the beginning, but maybe now they are looking at it deeper for more hidden things that may be harder to detect? It was just an idea. But, what do I know about tracking down electronic communications? Not much.
