I'm so sorry for your great loss. The love that holds such a loss may never extinguish, as pain of it as well may always be present, even if you have closure in processing such a loss of being able to put them to rest respectfully. Please accept my heart felt condolence.
I present to following points to not in the slightest way disrespect your pain or loss. Jaimee Mendez had a job. She took care of her son and her mom.
There is not the slightest bit of information from LE, from her family, her close friends, co-workers, child care specialists, past record, to indicate that Jaimee was user of heavy drugs like heroin. If there had been, she would may have not had custody of her son. She lived with the father of her son in the same home. She was said to be a joyful loving extremely committed mom (never one night away from her son) who worked hard to keep up. She had gone through all it takes to enroll her son in a good program. I have family who work with autistic kids, that is not an easy process and takes much information checking on parents etc..., before they accept kids. None of this information indicates that there was any signs of her being a user. The most important thing is what LE is doing, which is searching areas associated with him. Based on that fact alone, not withstanding what LE chooses to release or not release as information that they may have, not for one second has LE indicated they are investigating any other avenue of inquiry. I imagine it may have more to do with building solid evidence, generating more leads about the RSO, before they may make a move. If Jaimee Mendez was involved with drug use or risked an over-does, LE would have said so from day one, so as not to have this RSO seem unfairly singled out. LE has not said or done anything like that nor to indicate any one other than the RSO was with her as she vanished.
I agree that other possibilities are not wrong to extrapolate for the sake of discussion. But if it is based on information from a single source, this RSO, it doesn't sound like it would lead to avenues that would be corroborated by the facts of how LE has conducted the search, the facts about her released by her family, nor that fact that she is nowhere to be found. As was your experience, an overdoes would have exonerated this RSO from any responsibility or suspicion. That she is no where to be found would suggest actions that may have brought her to harm against her will that had nothing to do heroin, actions that she may have feared, actions that may have caused her to call for help, actions that may have lead to her death and disappearance, it seems to me.
Please, if anyone has the slightest hint or any information to base their supposition that Jaimee Mendez used heroin, was involved with dealing drugs, was with anyone other than this RSO, based on information from any other source than the RSO, please present it, as you go down that line. Facts are important. I see none so far that may indicate anything other than Jaimee Mendez was stuck with RSO and needed help to get away, none that may indicate that she was not lucid and or at risk of ODing, none that may indicate that she went willingly. There are so many facts that do indicate otherwise though, beginning with the fresh scratches on him Alyssa Mendez saw on his face and hands the same night Jaimee disappeared, it seems to me.
