I just meant I think he might have grown up (along with other rural boys) calling it that, rather than invented the term in his planning to kidnapping Jayme.

I think it might just be called that from the perspective of a person who needs to get out, actually (it's the cord you pull in case you're kidnapped). Pictures boys locking each other in the trunk a lot when their parents aren't looking, and...I'm guessing that's where the (relatively...

Maybe someone already suggested this, but it's possible there could be weatherizing plastic (on the inside of the house) over the double glass doors. A lot of us do that in certain areas of the home where the most cold air comes in. Doesn't look pretty, but sure helps :)

Beautifully put.

IIRC, Jayme said he had people over and that during those visits she had to hide.

I think it goes to the number of officers responding (three); their priority was, rightly, the 911 call from a known living victim inside the home. Post-Columbine, police are supposed to immediately stop the threat (not wait for backup); three guys is a pretty small [edit: very small] crew to...

There's no taxidermy showing in the crime scene photos, that I can see. But maybe he was living in Minong (for example) during that phase of life?

Yeah - I'd like to see if the taxidermy shows up in the full report (hopefully there will be a full report).

Yikes - per the article linked above, FBI agent Brad Garrett stated to ABC news that "studies suggest 70 percent of people who commit abductions were abused as children, physically or psychologically, which can create a pattern of rage (this does not mean all people who are abused then go on to...

Yeah - the neighbor reported that there are "like, eight cars" always in JP's driveway.

His statement to police "he knew that was the girl he was going to take" makes it sound like he had thought of kidnapping a girl for a while, saw Jayme, and decided to choose her. Granted, we don't have a ton of verbiage to go on as far as analysis.

In the 911 call, Jayme gives Jeanne the full name Jake Thomas Patterson - I wonder how she knew the middle name? Obviously he could have told her (but seriously, why would he even tell her his name at all?) I wonder if she saw some ID, perhaps (but that wouldn't include the middle name, probably).

I'd like to know that, too.

Beautifully put.

So...I wonder why he made a 12 hour round-trip drive to his grandparent's/grandparents' home in Superior, in the middle of all this? Worth exploring.

Thank you for this, bellyup!

Another reason for (standard) DNA collection in these cases is to have it available for matching with (Heaven forbid) any additional victims or crimes.

Thank you for this - I needed some heartwarming news today! I bet Jayme would enjoy seeing the photo of the calf named after her, someday :)

As cash bond, it would actually have to be the full $5 million, fortunately.

He just reiterated that more info on motive would be coming out in the future.
