It's been really quite in here, I was hoping to log on today and see some good news, I haven't had the chance to check it out in few days....(been reading here for quite a while now at WS)
I don't get it either, really its not as if we have a lot of missing children. Yes I admit that at her age there really is a off possibility that she ran away (not something I personally think), but come on she is only 17 and we don't many of these missing teens in Canada, runaways yes but not missing and she is definitely missing.
There isn't even anything from her family or friends regarding her in comment sections of the local papers or even interviews with them...WTH
I am disappointed.:banghead:
Anyone who had a restraining order against someone, as she did, should be given top priority when they go missing.
Unfortunately, we have seen too many times where a woman (in most cases) gets a RO against someone but then allows that person back into their life...they are so often broken.
I had a bank account at 17, did/does she? Has there been any activity on her funds/credit card/cell phone since she went missing? Did she make any large withdrawals before she went missing?
My account as a child was controlled by my parents...and depleted by my parents...*sigh* at least in this day and age I would hope that if she did have an account that LE has looked into it.
Disappearing into thin air... So very strange. This case bothers me, a lot.
Yes, there has to be more to it than this. She needs to be found...alive and well (my preference) but if not and worst case scenario, then at least she deserves to be found and put to rest.
My responses in red above.

On FB, someone noted that she had run away before - I would like to know what she did to prepare for that event, and compare it to her behaviours now.
Also, it was noted on there that she has family in Calgary.
I assume things like bank accounts and family in Calgary, etc, have all been checked out, but I am frustrated that no one is printing anything. :banghead:
Please correct me if I am wrong but wasn't it the boyfriends mom who made the comment about her running away once before? If that is true, I would have to take that information in but it's credibility would be lessened by the fact it came from said boyfriends mom. I\ll try to find who said that.

Yes, she seems to say that Jodi had run away to live with Gavin at some point before. I find her certainty about Jodi's "character" suspicious, but just because it came from her doesn't necessarily mean it is false. And. certainly, if she did run away before, that does not mean that she has this time.
For me, I believe she would have given some word if she has run away. I can't help but fear the worst for this girl.
I think what stood out to me was:
Thats something that she would have done, knowing her character, said Lynne Fedorick, mother of Jodis ex-boyfriend, Gavin Arnott.
It strikes me as odd to say something like that (unless you wanted the attention focused on her and not your son.)
Has anyone from her family also stated that she has run away before?
ETA: Do we know if her bank accounts have had any activity? I seem to recall there was none.

The family, it seems, refuses to comment on anything Gavin or his family say, as they say (on FB) that doing so only brings the case down to negativity. So it's hard to say what they think on this. However, the FB page does allow for the possibility that Jodi left under her own power, but that isn't the overwhelming assumption.
I respect their position and their desire for privacy, but I do wish they would share more details to give us some hints. However, I am sure they have told everything to LE, so that will have to suffice.
