I can't follow your sleuthing abilities!
Me either. But his eyes look a little weird to me.

I can't follow your sleuthing abilities!
I was watching ID the other day where a guy kidnapped a young girl, right in front of her sister, just half a block from her house, and with neighbors watching. It was a reenactment of course, but it literally took only 5 seconds. The man actually grabbed the girl as she was rollerblading past his truck. He waited until she was right in front of the door, swung it open, stepped out and grabbed her and stuffed her in the truck and sped off. FIVE seconds. Her sister was watching the whole thing, and the older half-sister who was inside, ran out when the other sister screamed, and saw the truck driving away. She started yelling, "He took her!" Two men were just down the street talking, one sitting in a vehicle and the other standing to the side. The man who was standing jumped into his vehicle and tried to follow the perp's truck but the perp managed to lose him eventually.
Four eyewitnesses. Five seconds. The guy managed to evade police for quite a while before they caught up with him. He had borrowed the truck he used to kidnap the little girl, from his boss at a construction site. He cleaned and vacuumed the truck, but LE found one long blonde hair that matched the victim's under the seat.
It can happen so fast!! And people watching from a block away might not even realize what is happening.
I just saw that Tricias radio show tomorrow night willbe highlighting this case. For those that are new, Tricia is part of WS management at WS and you can listen online every Sunday night at 8 eastern. You can also sign up and do live chat during the program ( lol, suggest signing up before as takes time to go though getting it set up for some of us! )
It can happen so fast. I know I had no idea how fast something like that could happen until I saw a police demo back in the early 1980s.
Also, when people think of a moderate busy setting, such as Jessica's neighbourhood, I think they tend to think in terms of an even dispersal of people throughout the time given. But people don't actually act like that. Even in really busy settings, there's clumps of people and then quiet periods where there isn't anyone.
People who have worked retail can often recall this pattern. The store is empty, empty empty and then suddenly everyone and their cousin steps in. It's busy for awhile and then it can empty out again.
I think it only took a minute at most for Jessica to go from her normal morning to gone.
If anyone has ever witnessed a crime or even something "hinky" going on, it can sometimes take a moment to realize and accept. Not that anyone even saw what happened to Jessica, but I believe most people don't really "see" the world around them, especially if something is out of the ordinary.
