The cop on the scanner thread said that Jessica's purple unicorn pillow pet was on the scene. Since he was at J's house and communicating with someone at the rec center, I came to the conclusion that the pillow pet was not at the rec center. This is because the same cop adds, 'she would have had to come back here' then or something close to that comment.
So did someone mislead police by saying they saw a girl with a purple unicorn pillow pet? Or are pupp that common that it could have been another girl?
The conversation can be found in the first post 'rewind' on each thread (I think) of the scanner threads.
The comment that J would have had to return 'here' then, is what helped me determine the answer because, I agree, it's kind of confusing.
What we don't know is why the LE at the rec center was asking about her pillow pet to begin with.
Also SR said, during the family interview, that LE used J's sheets off of her bed to scent the dogs. That doesn't mean they didn't use her pupp as well.
The above is my interpretation as I can't guarantee it's 100 percent accurate but when I read the comments, I gave them alot of thought.
