I didn't see this case until she was already found.
I don't think I've ever seen as many cases of murder by hammer on websleuths as I have this year. I don't know why the increase, or if it's just cases that have made it to websleuths this year and have ended in such tragedy as homicide by hammer. That has got to be one of the most deranged methods of murder, IMO.
As I was reading through the thread tonight, and the media releases, it was rather clear the family, husband and posters here believed the 'friend' she was at the party with was involved in her disappearance. To know it was a nursing student didn't surprise me. I don't think an affair surprised me, whether true or not. Though I believe it was true if she did indeed tell her sister he was gay. That kinda implies her sister had noticed a vibe between the two, or had noticed her speaking of him, spending time with him, something that made the sister say something to Lisa about it. I can easily see someone telling their sister..oh there's nothing between us...can't you tell he's gay?? To hide the affair.
At any rate, no matter why they were together, no matter why Lisa said she was going to this party with her brother when she went with Jackie Jerome Rogers, she didn't deserve to be murdered!!!
Had Jackie told the husband and brother that Lisa left the party with him, infact, had gone to the party with him, I think justice would have probably been quick and justified. Now there will be a drawn out wait for the legal system for a trial, and sentencing....
I realize that's the legal route as civilized citizens we should take. Morally it's the right route.. But, I don't know how i would have reacted if he was lying to my face and my loved one was missing.... just being honest!
