There's a good podcast that interviews JD's mother and girlfriend which sheds more light on the investigation and the relationship between JD and EB. Not sure if I can link it directly...it's available from multiple sources including YT, Spotify, etc. Maybe a moderator can weigh in.
Considering that it's JD's mom and girlfriend who are basically primary sources, I don't see why it wouldn't be allowed. Thanks for bringing that up! I found the interview. Sounds like Jacob didn't particularly like Ethan but according to the gf Jali, Ethan was "obsessed" with Jacob and would show up at their place daily late at night or early morning demanding to talk to/see Jacob. "He wanted to be around him all the time. It was crazy."
Sounds like Ethan was a disturbed individual and Jacob was just too nice to completely cut him off. "Jacob refuses to give up people. He wants to be there for you no matter what you do. but it got to the point where he couldn't any more bc it was putting his life in danger too..." [this is referencing a former best friend]
Jali said that when arrived home the evening she last saw Jacob, she wanted to talk to him about something, but Jacob said right away "There's something wrong with Ethan and he really wants to see me right now." She also said "Ethan had a habit of manipulating him" and that Ethan had the habit of monopolizing Jacob's time and lying about what they were doing, but she didn't want to force Jacob to stay home, so she just went to her room and lay in the dark. Jacob came to her and promised he would try not to stay out more than 20 minutes, 2 hours at the very maximum. He left around 11:30pm and Jali waited for him but he never came back. She checked for his location at 3am but the phone just said "no location."
She went to bed sleep until 7:30am, stayed awake until 10am, texted Jacob's mom Sylvia that he didn't come home, were worried that Ethan and Jacob had gotten arrested, were calling jails, hospitals. She and Sylvia drove to Ethan's house and saw his car. The front bumper was missing. Inside car they saw all his keys in the car. She banged on Ethan's door, no answer. They drove around to get gas, came back 5 min later, and Ethan's car was gone. Then apparently they called the police and an officer arrived. The officer tried calling Ethan and stated that Ethan said that he and Jacob "Well, Ethan said they got high as *advertiser censored* in the back of the neighborhood or whatever and that he drove off when Jacob was walking home."
I'm about halfway through the interview, but those are the pertinent details thus far.
