I came across this forum thread when I was looking up info on a different missing person, Shawn Hale:
http://deepcreekhotsprings.net/dchs/forum/read.php?1,23938,23938#msg-23938
Shawn Hale has been named as a possible ID for the UID Grateful Dead fan who was killed in a car accident in Virginia--there's a whole subforum on WS for that case:
Grateful Dead Fan - Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community
Now, I don't think that Shawn Hale has anything to do with Jennifer's case, so I'm not trying to imply anything there. There are a number of similarities to Jennifer's case: he was apparently a Grateful Dead fan, and he went missing in California in 1994. And the "Sweet Pea" part of the thread starting post I linked above seems to be a nickname he went by. However, he went missing from way further south, about 10 hours away from where Jennifer was last seen...and I don't think anyone was going around California randomly kidnapping Grateful Dead fans in the 90s. So then why am I bringing it up, you ask? Because...if you look at the thread listed at the top of this post, there seems to be some pretty forthright discussion of various people and shady doings on the periphery of the "growing" community at the time of his disappearance. So it seems like the board is open to discussing a wide variety of topics, even though it appears to have been set up as a discussion board for people interested in skinny-dipping in various hot springs in the area. (In fact, there's a "full moon countdown" timer on the site, since I guess a full moon is best for skinny dipping. Haha! *rim shot*) Anyway, even though we're talking about disappearances from two towns pretty far apart, I think that somewhere in the interlocking Venn diagram circles of "Grateful Dead fans," "skinny-dippers," "pot growers," and "crunchy granola hippies with nicknames," there may be some overlap. And even though that thread seems pretty heavy on the gossip and rumor, the board might be a place to poke around for information to see if anyone might know or remember anything about Jennifer or anyone associated with her time in California. Plus, the initial thread was started in late 2013, with the last post being in January of this year, so it looks like it's a fairly active board, and maybe we'd get a response from someone who was in the general area in the 1990s and might help point us toward something helpful.
Maybe someone with more gumption than me *cough*MysticJynx*cough* wants to register and make a plea for information over there?
