What is everyone's take on mediums and psychic's? My personal opinion is, I have never believed in them and I still do not. However, after reading 'Dead Air', it has made me question my belief, but I am still not sold on the idea of psychics playing on the emotional strings of the families of the missing.
I do not believe in them, BUT I would not always discount them as I would nto be surprised if some people passed on information they had, but claimed it was some sort of vision rather than admitted they knew something.
was it normal for Jodi to be so late to work. it always struck me as odd that she would be so late on that day. If it had been a stalker waiting for her, they might have thought she was not going to work that day and decided to try another day. i always wondered if she had left at the normal time, and the abductor had taken her back to her flat. Maybe she was normally late, and quite cool about it, but if my boss called me and woke me up to tell me I was nearly two hours late I would be flustered, but she sounded quite calm. Also if I was already so late, I would have a quick five minute shower, grab my stuff and go, but it sounds like Jodi took another three quarters of an hour before she left.
My theories are the following two scenarios
1) It was some one she knew. They had stayed over had a late night, and that is why she was later. When her boss wrong, and she had to leave I think an arguement started (maybe because she was going to wor, not taking a sickie who knows). She eventually marche dout with her stuff, and her friend followed her, and in a "don't you wal away from me" grabbed her as she unlocked her car (or perhaps before and she was trying to unlock her car in a panic), and she fell and was knocked unconcious.
or
2) It was a stranger. She went to her car at normal time, and was garbbed by a stalker who maybe dragged her back to her flat. If they were an obsessed stalker they might have wanted to see her home. She stayed there rather than keep struggling trying to talk the person round, trying to calm them, and when her boss called she just made an excuse rather than enraging the stalker by calling for help. Perhaps the staler then said he would let her go, and lied to her, and bundled her into a van outside, which is when a scream was heard.
I am probably wrong, so who knows. I do think the fact she was so late was significant. I also think the fact she was only heard to scream once (is that correct), is significant. It says to me she was either rendered unconcious quickly, or someone managed to calm her down, or she was bundled into a vehicle quickly (but as there were drag marks I do not believe she was concious when put into the vehicle)
Knowing the Midwest, and knowing small town-Midwest, and having been to Mason City... It wasn't a stranger. I can say that with 90% confidence. It was someone she knew.
