CA CA - Susan Jacobson, 59, Sun City/Roseville, 2 May 2013 - #1

He may have said he didn't know, in answer to the question about whether or not he had anything to do with her disappearance, meaning he did not know if he was a reason she left, if she did? He was probably very exhausted by that time.

Somewhere I recall reading that after pondering his wife's absence for some time, Mr. Jacobson commenced with calling hospitals in an attempt to locate her. This never made sense to me, as I'd think that if she had ended up at a hospital, someone would have accessed her contact information and notified him (or whomever she designated as her contact).

Treelights, none of this make sense to me, and the more I think about it, the more nonsensical it becomes.

I've been thinking about your previous inquiries about her purse. Why was the purse found in the car when circumstances (wallet) and her habits (recounted by Kjac) indicate that it should have been over her shoulder?

One thing that comes to mind is that if the scene were staged, it wouldn't be too difficult to discreetly take a wallet and dump it somewhere without being noticed. A purse, depending on its size, not so much. Especially if the person staging the scene was male. A person walking across a parking lot with a purse (even if he's attempting to hide it) and then dumping the purse somewhere where it would be easily found could be rather risky, couldn't it? So I'm guessing the playbook for staging a robbery would advise leaving the purse in the car and dumping the wallet, while leaving something to identify the owner of the wallet intact to ensure that the wallet is properly connected to the crime and supports the theory that its owner was abducted.

As another poster asked, I'd like to know exactly where the purse was in the car. Passenger seat? Floorboard?

Checking hospitals to see if she is there, I can understand for sure, but did he call the hospitals after he went to the shopping center, and saw her car there, and waited for her to come out and when she didn't, then
hospitals were called? Did he go to the shopping center at all?
He called the police at 7pm and the police found her car.
All of this is confusing and perhaps Kjac can clarify when his father first saw the vehicle in the shopping center, and did he then call the police after waiting to see when she would come out of the shopping center, if any of these things occurred in this fashion?

The video footage seemed a little spliced, too, so it may have been the editing that may have made it seem very odd, IMOO.

Gotcha -- good questions. Republishing what Kjac posted to the Facebook page regarding Susan. Perhaps he can clarify:

//snip//

Susan Jacobson, 59, of Sun City Roseville, CA, was last seen on the morning of Wednesday, May 1, 2013, prior to heading out to run some errands. She told her husband, Chris, that she was going to pick up a couple things at Raley’s (located at 4051 Woodcreek Oaks Blvd. – corner of Pleasant Grove and Woodcreek), and then go to Target (located at 10451 Fairway Dr., Roseville, and which opened at 8am...). Chris last saw her at 6am when he left to go do his normal morning workout – she was still finishing some chores around the house and probably left the house at around 7am to go to Raley’s. When Chris returned at around 7:30am, she had left already (as expected). He then left shortly thereafter to go to work (and as expected, she had not returned prior to his leaving for work). When Chris returned home from work at around 6pm the same day, Susan was not at home, which was unusual. After calling local hospitals, Chris then called police to report her missing.

Susan’s car (recent model dark blue Honda Civic) was found that night at the Raley’s shopping center. The car was unlocked, which was very unusual for Susan, and her purse was left inside (also unusual for her - she is very protective of her belongings). Her wallet had been found that morning (Wednesday – the day she went missing) by a local jogger on the street side of the shopping center, and turned into Starbucks (at approximately 8am that morning) which is located at the corner of the Raley’s shopping center. Her ID was in the wallet, but money and credit cards were missing. Susan does not normally go to Starbucks (she does not drink coffee).*

Susan is a white female, 4 feet 11 inches tall, and weighs about 90 pounds. She was likely wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt, jeans, and a visor. Susan did not carry a cell phone.*

Susan is retired, and a very routine-oriented person. She does not socialize much, but enjoys spending time with her family – which includes her husband, her sister, and her grown son and his wife. She was very excited to welcome her first grandchild into the world, due in early July. All indications were that she was happy and looking forward to spending time with the new addition to the family.

Susan’s family and friends would like to see her return safely home. If you have any information that you think would be useful, please contact the Roseville Police Department at 916-774-5070 (or tip line 916-774-5080). Thank you for all your support.

Does Kjac have to be Verified to answer our questions on this Websleuths thread?

 

[Treelights]

Is the car in Susan's name or her husband's name? Is it paid for or still have a balance due on it?
Is there a tracking device in the car?

I agree, thought it seemed spliced too. Very naughty (IMO) of the media to do such things, if indeed they did, to try to make it appear odd. Got to admit it really annoys me when the media try to influence opinion (sometimes subtly) instead of just telling it how it is. I think people can make their own opinion when given facts, e.g. un-spliced interview.

Sorry about that little rant, but that sort of thing bugs me.

Do investigators still have the car? How long did/would they keep it? At what point is it returned to the family?

Forgive me if this has been posted before, but it's worth watching for anyone who may have missed it the first time. This May 6th report includes good views of the shopping center parking lot in which Susan's car was found, along with an interview with Susan's husband, Chris Jacobson:

From the clip above. This is where the news camera pans and stops when referring to where her car was found.

I am worried for Kjac. We have not heard from him. Hope he is doing as well as he can due to the circumstances.

He was here this morning as he "liked" the comment by TxLady2.

His child is supposed to be born this month, but I am not sure of the due date,
so he has a lot on his plate for sure.

Kjac, best wishes to you and your wife on your upcoming bundle of joy.

Kjac I hope your mom is found safe and soon.

I would think the husband would be requested to take a polygraph!

 

[Treelights]

We do not know exactly where her car was parked in the shopping center. I'm not sure if initially someone indicated where she parked, but I did have the impression early on that she had parked near the middle of the lot. But when I followed up later, LE preferred not to give out this information, so I'm not 100% sure where the car was found in the shopping center. I would not be surprised (and I would even expect) that it was found near the middle (i.e. not right up front near the entrance) because she just typically preferred to park back a little ways to avoid people coming in and out, and also to avoid door dings, etc. I'm similar - I don't care about door dings but I do park back to avoid some of the activity at the front of the store (cars pulling in and out, people unloading, etc.) and I don't mind walking.

No polygraph - just hasn't come up. My understanding and talking to people is that many agencies don't use anymore since they aren't conclusive and a lot of issues have come up with their reliability.

Thanks all.

In this post Kjac mentions that " "We" do not know exactly where her car was parked in the shopping center".
Kjac, are you referring to you and your dad? Who is the "We"?
Did your dad check the shopping center for her car before calling the police since he knew that she was there earlier that day?
Did the police find the car first?

Kjac says the polygraph just hasn't come up.

Isn't his baby due in early July? He could be very busy right now. Such a joyous time against the backdrop of his mother's disappearance.

 

[LittleMissContrary]

I think I initially suspected her husband because I thought his demeanor was odd. But the more I think about it the more I think it is just a even keeled disposition, which comes across as somewhat flat or unemotional on the video. JMO

 

[cluciano63]

I am stunned that any LEA would not ask for a polygraph from a husband-unless they have video showing Susan arriving at Raleys. But if so, why would they not tell the family, at least?

 

[Seajay]

I don't think it's that odd he didn't go to the shopping center after he got home and discovered she wasn't there. He knew she was going in the morning, she was gone by 7:30 am, in which he was told she was going to Raley's Market. Why would he think her car would be there a good 8-9 hours later??? I wouldn't think to go look there, I'd have assumed she'd already been there and left and something happened someplace else. IMO.

I can see checking hospitals in that case.

I really hope that kjac doesn't come here and see a lot of suspicion about his father, when he hasn't been named a POI or a suspect. That's why they call this a victim-friendly site. Kjac is a victim, his precious mother has disappeared. Cjac is also a victim right now as he beloved wife has disappeared.

Kjac, I hope all is well with you and you impending fatherhood. Your life will never be the same.

Has LE been conducting ground searches? I can't remember anymore.

She would be a very easy target, due to her size. And even if the perp (if there is one) may have been looking for a younger victim, he may have thought she was much younger, she is so tiny. Others don't care about age.

I just do not see her leaving, unless it was a health episode and then I think she would have been found by now.

I'm semi-local - a few minutes away. My husband and I are both out and about in this area quite a bit (thank you insomnia!). I don't recall hearing of any ground searches. It scares me, for her sake! I haven't seen her of course, but have been looking. If there have been searches and we haven't heard of them it makes me nervous.

Yes.. plus it's ridiculous hot here right now so I can see someone being extra cautious, particularly with a pregnant wife. We had at least one major freeway go out yesterday from the heat.

ETA: I hope KJAC's ok! I'm worried too, just thinking there are a lot of possible reasons to be away for awhile.
