I think she’s one of many outside consultants for 48 Hours in her capacity as a defense attorney. I believe I’ve seen her giving her opinion on other cases for them as well.

Intimately familiar with all the areas Wendy was last in. I grew up in the area and lived here all my life. Wendy disappeared about five years before I was born, but the county hadn’t changed much in those years— the population boom came in the late 90’s/early 2000’s and continued exponentially...

Still thinking of you, Jodi. You are not forgotten.

Bumping for Dail. After reading through this entire thread, I lean toward the idea that she either willingly got into a vehicle with someone, be it a person she was familiar with or a stranger who seemed “safe” to her, or was forcibly abducted at some point while attempting to get home. I don’t...

This case absolutely haunts me. I have nothing of investigative value to add to this thread, but I think of this Doe all the time; she comes into my mind frequently, and I find myself searching for updates on her case on a regular basis. It bothers me deeply that this precious girl was harmed...

Do the homicides of the Dardeen family have their own thread on Websleuths? If there was ever a crime that deserved to be definitively solved, it’s that one. The violence was beyond extreme. The only “proof” I’ve been able to ascertain of that Sells is responsible for the murders is that he...

Bumping for Jodi. Her case was one of the first I obsessed over and I think about her regularly. It’s a crime in and of itself that her disappearance hasn’t been solved and that we are no closer to knowing what happened to her than we were the day she was violently abducted from the parking lot...

This is my issue as well. I have no problem with theoretical exploration, but I think it needs to be rooted in some kind of evidence or fact. Jason coming from a strict religious background and being socially awkward isn’t enough for me to seriously engage with hypotheticals about his sexuality...

That may be true, but coming from a strong religious background and not having a girlfriend doesn’t mean he was probably gay. He could just as easily be introverted or have difficulties with social interaction, or simply not be interested in dating at the time. And there are plenty of teenagers...

I think the resistance comes from the fact that there is literally no evidence that Jason was gay. There is nothing to suggest he was struggling with his sexuality or that he was in the closet. He had no known ties to drugs or criminality, like you said, so you’re willing to abandon those as...

I was thinking less construction and more of something like an old well that was never covered up or marked. I remember a case where a small girl was crushed in between her mattress and bed frame and literally wasn’t found for days despite law enforcement and others being in and out of the room...

I think this is one of the strongest points to keep in mind. His disappearance defies a lot of statistical norms, so trying to shape a theory around them can be an act of futility. Honestly, his case is so strange, a part of me wonders if it isn’t foul play at all, and if it’s possible Jason...

Hoping that the news of her remains being found is followed up with the arrest of a suspect.

The nauseating contempt and lack of compassion for disabled children and adults in this country is beyond comprehension. Cases like this are the zenith of this absolute absence of empathy. The so–called “caregivers” of this child deserve to never see the light of day again. The systems set in...

Someone who is in cahoots with the victim’s mother. The entire story of a “stranger” knocking on the door at 3 am is just the ridiculous lie Anthonette’s mother perpetuated for years to hide the fact that she essentially gave her daughter away to an adult male, probably for drugs.
