Probably too many to count. Some were initiated by the Amish and some were LE searches.
The Amish asked every church district to search their respective fields/creeks/outbuildings early on. That included every area of Lancaster County.
I think the harm was sexual violence. I personally don’t think they have hard evidence of death or any other crime other than kidnapping. Removing her bra would have been a sexual offense leading to the comment “harm”.
There’s been a lot of talk about the cadaver dogs and the items found.
• Dogs did NOT hit on the items
• Zip tie was small when pinched together
(You need a subscription but I have a screen shot of anyone needs verification)...
JMO: we were just at the Denver interchange of the PA Turnpike. No cameras but tons of shrubs and bushes. Hubby commented “she could be in here and no one would know” (i wasn’t even sure who he was talking about until he clarified). That has me thinking.
1)The pull off would have been much...
Lingering questions:
- Does LE really have a “smoking gun” to keep JS?
- when the owner reported JS snooping around Harvest...Why didn’t LE investigate?
(They had an active missing person)
- Is LE using vague terminology because they really don’t have much else?
Things to keep in mind about the area and LE:
• Court system in Lancaster Co is
S L O W. (It was a problem even before covid).
• the D.A. Is newly elected
• State Police cover jurisdiction who don’t have local police coverage. They also run the crime labs which are ALWAYS back logged. (yes i...
Yes! Best description.
Townships even have wonky boundaries.
FYI: don’t get stuck too much on the names of towns. The towns often overlap and when it’s not near anywhere it’s just ‘Lancaster’. A local high school has a mailing address of “Lampeter” and a street address that says the town is...
Did anyone notice the particular LE depts being named in helping with the investigation?
-West Lampeter
-Lanc City (Largest Dept in the county)
-Manheim Twp
-East Hempfield
-Ephrata
My thoughts
•they seem random
•they don’t all border the East Lampeter jurisdiction
• Some are very small LE...
I just realized (by this comment) that fire companies don’t have the fire Siren/whistles any more. It’s common here and LOUD. It was used to let everyone know to meet at the station. All fire dept here are volunteer (except Lanc city). When the news talks about number of trained volunteers they...
Yes! I completely agree! I believe RAD is a component in this situation. I am well versed on RAD and I’m very impressed someone suggested this.
Most people are completely unaware of the disorder unless it impacts them.
The children lack remorse and empathy but they can often “mimic” social...
I believe the reason it took so long for police to respond to the shed company is do to the lack of police coverage. It’s covered by state police who have a Large coverage area.
I agree! Criminals don’t usually go from robbery to sex crimes. Sex assaults are about control. I can see the red flags in him but he hasn’t really been out of jail that long. Sex offenders usually work their way up to these more Heinous acts.
I too am curious what people are saying about him.
I’m Curious: why would someone photograph the INSIDE of a vehicle? What would have been so interesting ? License plate I could see but interior seems a little extra.
Non- locals- some of these areas do not have local police. If you hear that the state police responded it’s most likely a more...
That is my concern also.
Maybe I’m reading into things but...
•LE has only mentioned “harm” (could be any crime)
•DA has remained very tight lipped (no presser, no reassurance of safety to the community etc)
•LE has been vigilant about vehicle locations...even still.
YES!!! I’m wondering the same thing. He’s familiar with the area then why all the driving around.
I need more info to believe this was an impulsive act.
Impulsive or premeditated ....I’m still upset that this guy was on the loose and we were basically told to chill about the strange vehicles...
I know I’m in the minority here but I feel like more is going to come out. LE held so much back (not unusual) but they are still refusing to answer media questions or have a press conference. In light of a kidnapper being on the loose for 3 weeks..(I realize they were probably tailing him - I...
hi neighbor! I’ve been here awhile and never imagined a case like this would hit close to home.
Do you know if JS was the person responsible for the roadside stand robberies?
