That's connecting to the Cody WY deal that I heard was dismissed from WS people. Hm....

I don't want to distract from this thread, anymore then I already have, with my sister/niece walking the dog problem. You all have given some great advice thus far, and I know you may have more so please don't hesitate to contact me via PM with any other suggestions. I may have to start a basement thread on this. I have totally been at a loss.
In fact, though, air horns/pepper spray attached to the leash/ dog walking friends/groups are great ideas I never thought of and ideas that can be heeded by any dog walkers and dog walking children, day or night, out there. I thank you and again, I apologize for the distraction! This has been bothersome to me.
I had the same initial reaction, however when you read the case details it's actually a very different type of case...Dad was most likely the target, and Sarah was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.Wow. I had not read about Sarah from Westminster. She does favor Jessica.... Down to the red mark on her nose

isn't that his van? isn't there DNA in there? can't they get him so easy with all that evidence?
so awful.
These are ALL unsolved murders in Colorado of girls age 5-12:
Melanie Sturm
Melissa Bennett
Cherelle Morehouse
Sarah Skiba
JonBenet Ramsey
Tracey Neef
Baby Hope
Respectfully snipped... I'm a terrible advice-giver on family situations!
Regarding your niece though, and a guy invading her space and her not wanting to be rude: we've all got to teach our daughters/nieces/godchildren/female students/girlfriends, etc... it's perfectly okay to set boundaries and limits when males violate our boundaries. Being assertive does not have to be rude, and it is not rude to be assertive. It's perfectly okay for her to keep walking ("Hey how's it going... no time to chat today, have to keep a good pace to exercise the dog!"), and it's perfectly okay to request that he not put his hat on her head. Hell, she could make a joke about "cooties"... and then hightail it out of there. His opinions about her matter less than her personal integrity and safety.
I'm not saying the neighbor is a creeper, because maybe he's just clueless, but one thing that true creepers rely on is our silence, our fear of being "rude", our willingness to be helpful, our not wanting to create awkwardness and particularly, our willingness to accommodate behavior that is uncomfortable to us because the larger culture teaches us not to rock the boat. We're more fearful of creepy strangers than the creepers we are familiar with, but don't want to come across as uppity.
I imagine this perp might actually be what Ryan Brunn would have become if he hadn't been so sloppy.
Warning: graphic
I'm afraid I have to agree with some posters in that I believe all they had to work with was sweet Jessica's torso. They wouldn't need her parents to look at her to do dental analysis. It would be done by professionals with x-rays and/or photos of Jessica while smiling.
I have to add, I wonder if they were able to get perp DNA from poor Jessica's body. I hate to think how it would get there but having DNA would be good. I would think it would be more likely there would be a transfer of usuable DNA on the body than on, say, the backpack. MOO.
Rest in peace, sweet baby, and dear Lord, help her parents and loved ones find comfort in one another.

This is pretty interesting, I haven't read all of it, but I will after I get done typing. The few paragraphs for the profile matches what many of you have talked about.
Mods, if this doesn't belong here, please delete - it won' hurt my feelings.
I live in Superior , CO, so this event has hit very close to home for me. I apologize in advance for being long-winded...if anyone has any questions about the suburban NW Denver-Boulder area, I am happy to answer as best I can.
(snipped by me)
I was a child (ages 7-10 before they were caught) in Los Angeles smack in the middle of the Hillside Strangler and Rodney Alcala. I remember being absolutely terrified. The adults, in my case, talked in scared whispers and I heard just enough of the gory details to give me nightmares. I don't recall anyone giving us instructions on precautions and we still all walked to school unsupervised. I still remember the fear when cars would drive by. The OP's experience sounded a lot healthier.
I read the details of Sarah Skiba's disappearance on The Charley Project. It appears she was with her father & father's co-worker when they all disappeared. Later findings indicated to all being deceased & the theory was the perps were after Sarah's father.
We still have the 2 missing cousins here in Iowa. They have been missing since July. I'm not implying the cases are connected, it's probably unlikely.
It has made me think about all the unsolved missing children cases though. If this monster who killed Jessica has done this before, he just wasn't caught. Maybe he wanted that recognition. It's what he's gotten from this case.
Total speculation & JMO
Just my take on it and :twocents:....but with a WARNING...graphic.
Finding DNA would depend on how far the perp would go to cover it up....and how clinical. I believe this is one very sick individual, and the description that is being debated is more on the grotesque side, imo. He may have gone so far as to bath her before whatever he did to her to not have her body intact. Still maintaining control over her...after she had passed. Hate to put it this way...but having a clean slate to work with void of anything he may have done to her prior. The backpack being left in the open as well as her body is for attention and his own narcissitic continuance of the control as well as in "look what I did" and the belief he will not be found out. He may well have totally destroyed the rest of her remains...or 99% since he was making a statement with what has been found. It depends on his pathology on when he will mentally "leave" Jessica....and precede to control his next victim. All just IMO, JMO, etc. Whatever the case, he needs to be found....NOW.
I am sure NG will have this on tonight and probably an aunt or uncle of Jessica, and she will ask that awfull question like she always does- "How did you feel when you heard that your neice had been found....". I HATE it when victims family are asked that question. How the eff do you THINK they felt???
grr. Sorry to be OT.
I wish the LE officials had ended the presser by looking directly into the camera and addressing the killer...we are looking for you day and night....eventually we will find you. Until then there is no place you can hide, no place you can go without looking over your shoulder...We will not stop looking for you...
JMO
