I'm glad you brought that up. For some reason, and it's only a feeling I have---I could very well be wrong.
But--I get the feeling that this man knew (or knew of) Jessica or had had prior contact with her.
I think she was targeted and not just a victim that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
But, that's just the feeling I get, like I said I could be wrong. Lord knows I've been very wrong a lot of time before!
ETA: I've got to run errands (yes on a Sunday!) I'll be back later. Take care everyone. May justice for Jessica be swift! :seeya:
Ack, I was trying to quote both messages, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
You know, this is actually really interesting. I'm not trying to sleuth mom, but I'm curious what her line of work is that she works overnight...
So out of myself and the people I've known who work overnight, their jobs have been:
--Nursing/medicine;
--Nursing home/medical center/hospital staff;
--Convenience store work;
--Call center work/suicide/sexual assault/dv hotline work/volunteering;
--Assembly/factory work;
--Security work;
--Police work.
The co-worker/customer angle is actually compelling. Coworkers are usually familiar with the general aspects of your life, i.e. if you have kids or not. They could also fairly easily get access to your address, even if you don't tell them where you live...
That Thurs. night overnight shift could easily have been "Friday" for someone working graveyard... so their "routine" wouldn't have necessarily have changed much at all.
LE
has to be onto this angle. Maybe that's why they seem to be stressing to people the idea that it is someone they know, to look for changes in their routine... it doesn't necessarily have to be changes in their work routine, it could just be that they suddenly had to "go out of town" for a day or two, etc. Something different than normal, i.e.
not lying around doing casual stuff on the weekends and taking off and doing stuff "out" instead... or staying awake during the day when they normally sleep...
