I'm wondering if the car was found with the spare tire on it and they don't really know when or where she changed the tire? Did anyone see her car recently? I hate to think suicide. It's my last thought in most cases. I just can't be that defeatist and don't assume people are depressed unless they are said to be before going missing. However, the flat tire, if it happened sometime earlier in the week could just be one thing in a string of events that went wrong and pushed her over the edge mentally. We don't really know what was happening in her life or anything about her personality though. We know she was arrested 6 years ago for theft/embezzlement. Did she serve some time for the charges? Did she have to pay back whatever money she was charged with embezzling? What was her financial picture like 6 years after something like that? Bleak, I would imagine. Maybe she could not afford to put new tires on her car.

On the other hand, with a non-suicide theory, what caused the flat tire? Did someone slash her tire before she changed it? Was she being harassed and followed? Or was this a planned meet up with someone? We can't ignore that she had been to the place where her car was found just recently. She knew the area and likely went there for a reason. Maybe to meet someone. Maybe to hide from someone. Maybe she trusted the wrong person or maybe she was trying to get away from someone and didn't think they could find her there. Are there any vacant hunters cabins in that area she might have seen when she was there with her daughter?

In the Redding area, theft/embezzlement charges are either to support a drug problem or a gambling problem, more likely a gambling problem. There is a casino in southern Redding. I find it interesting that the missing persons poster posted by jerseygirl shows her car in a wooded area. This is the exact type of forest setting that her car would have been found in. I can not find anywhere where it says exactly where her car was found, only off Hwy 36. Maybe somebody could help me there. "Off" Hwy 36 in the WildMad Rd area is a very isolated area. How far "off" Hwy 36 is not specified. This is no way close to Igo. She would have had to drive right through Igo to get there.

Interesting. Thanks for the local info on the casino. That picture of her car might be of the car in those same woods where it was found. She had been to the area her car was found in before. She went there with her daughter just after Thanksgiving. So she knew this area somewhat and had been there at least once before.

what do you mean by you find it interesting?

 

[MaryG12]

Are there any hiking trails in those woods?

This is just so tragic.

Way too many women in NorCal going missing lately.....

 

[MaryG12]

My father was with the CT state police for many years between the 1950's - early 1970's - once told me the story of how he once found a car parked deep in the woods of Rt 69 in Burlington, and inside was a dead woman's body. I was quite young then but this MP case reminded me of that story. I think I had nightmares about it for years. How it was towed out from being among all those trees is anyone's guess......

This article notes that JR has a daughter and on the HFJR FB page there is discussion of a son that she would have shown up to get (paraphrase). Do we know her children's ages? There was also talk here of her changing a tire, is that in an MSM link anywhere, or just rumor. I agree, wouldn't even attempt to change a tire if I planned to disappear. But your comment about hunters is encouraging, because it sounds like an area where someone may have contact with her (remaining hopeful). I also don't get the leaving the keys unlocked in the car. Any talk of exes or why she left in the middle of the night? The number of missing people in that area is so overwhelming to me. IMO, unless someone left a note behind indicating their wishes (which we don't know either way at this point), LE should never label it as voluntary. It takes away the attention these missing need in the critical hours/days following their disappearance as people quickly discount any foul play. Even if she did leave the residence voluntarily, she could've encountered someone along the way who harmed her. Can't we just call them "missing" until further evidence shows otherwise? JMO

ETA: I did find it:

Her 2010 black Ford Mustang was found off a remote stretch of Highway 36 after she apparently changed a flat tire but she wasn't there

New article from KRCR http://www.krcrtv.com/news/local/sh...e-of-44-year-old-jessica-roggenkamp/209421533

The area is very popular for hunting - being that national forests are public hunting lands. From her FB and others she knows, it appears they are hunters or at least recreationally interested in hunting. Maybe they were there on or around TG hunting bear, upland game, etc. It is very remote and dense, but also popular. When we are up there during deer season we would have no trouble having someone come upon us and help if we were in a bind or having vehicle trouble. But 3 am in non-prime hunting season is a different story. It was likely raining, maybe lightly that night.

Two questions:

1) She was reportedly "last seen at 3am." By whom? And where?

2) What is the evidence that a tire was changed?

ETA: Okay, three questions:

3) On the Help Find Facebook page, it notes that she took a sleeping bag and pillow with her. Where are those items?

Not sure about the tire, but go to her mom's FB page and you can see about the 3 AM siting

I looked on her mom's page but didn't read anything about who saw Jessica at 3am. I am only reading that "Jessica was last seen at 3am."

Who saw her at that time? Are you saying that her mom says somewhere that she, the mom, saw Jessica at 3am?

Someone tells the mom he saw her car at 3 AM while he was hunting bears.

He saw 'her' or just her car?

Her car. And it was frosty.

[FONT=&quot]I would like to give a update. Jessie's car was towed out of the area it was found in. Trinity County search and rescue was on scene at the crack of dawn searching for jessie. No evidence was found no jessie. There are 3 investigators on the case and nor- cal alliance for missing persons is working diligently. I'm sure there's a lot of questions and believe me I have some myself. This is all I know as of now. Oh one thing! There's a confusion of if the car was locked or not locked. It was locked when it was found and was found lock when other people tried but it was explained to me that the weather could pop those car doors open. That's all I've got.[/FONT]

updated 2 hour ago from Roggenkamp's mother. So apparently the car WAS locked...

 

[kyraz]

Any word from where she was originally travelling from? Unless she was south of Anderson in Red Bluff, I see no reason why should decide to take HWY 36 in the first place. The drive from Anderson to Igo is less than 30 min on 273.

It doesn't look too good to me that she would take the mountainous highway, winding and out of the way, in order to go to a place very easily traveled to via I-5 and 273.

I'm logging on purely to say this, IF I was ever going to kill myself I wouldn't bother to change a tire. I would just be like ok this is far enough and do it there. Secondly the way everyone discusses the hunting it sounds like it isn't on some main stretch of road some trucker could be on. But I don't live there. And no person takes off walking to the nearest place and leaves the doors unlocked and keys there(in the ignition or?) and if she wanted to kill herself and not be tracked I think she'd ditch her phone and not leave her car in a place she was recently unless the sleepover is a cover story. Knowing if the sleeping bag or whatever is there in the car would be one thing and if the tire isn't fully changed but looks like she started but didn't finish. Despite my thinking plenty of cases are hoaxes and not related I would say there are plenty of missing people in this area and not found yet. So yes there could be some serial killer out there but I highly highly doubt it would be someone who's going to just let them go free... as far as people mentioning SP. literally the only thing in common is the area. Likely some creep looking for hitch hikers and that the inn or whatever that is close should be checked and especially the homes near. Who knows. Either way if she wanted to kill herself I don't see her leaving the keys. I personally hope she's ran off with some dude and nothing bad and that's why LE is acting the way they are. And considering the scrutiny they're getting by media at the idea of let tial hoax cases and mess ups on their part, I'm guessing they rather be cautious and not scare the public and make a mistake if not needed. And even to hitchhike you take your keys. This seems as if she left with some guy or someone came to help her and was a bad guy. Likely one who's creepy and scans the roads because he lives near so maybe people should look into cases close that are so alike that it screams serial killer in the area... plus any hunting shacks or blinds or whatever they call them should be looked at... if it's used a lot I'm sure there's plenty of shacks for duck hunting and fishing and hunting so my bet is if there's some bad guy he knows about them. Anyway as I said I truly hope she's found and has just ran off with some guy on her own. Maybe to escape some legal stuff like someone earlier linked.

Based on her photo she strikes me as the gamble and drink during type and that could have been it. But if she took her daughter here recently then they either went on a hike or hunting or something and I'm sure there's cabins and plenty of abandoned hunting and fishing spots.

If a hunter saw her car at 3:00 am, potentially other hunters also saw her car. Maybe one of those hunters decided to hunt HER.
