Occam’s Razor. I am still stuck. I can’t get over the possible final resting place of JFd. Respectfully, I still believe it’s possible for FD to have leveraged the zip ties [esp the large ones..] in an unthinkable way, taking advantage of JFd’s incredibly small stature and size at that point in the divorce — to manipulate her into a more ‘manageable’ size/position for transport.
For FD, this was a full adrenaline situation, I don’t think it’s outside the scope of reality that he moved her via ‘slide support’ of WeatherTech liner so long as the surface/destination in the Tacoma was line lined up semi closely with her Suburban. I think this could explain JFd Suburban left in reverse & eventual battery drain.
I also don’t think we have a tight enough timeline on the highway heading back to 4JXC to truly rule out a preplanned drop, into a waterway or another location that would not require more than 5-10 mins additional ‘cleanup.’ Adding KM at this point seems extremely dangerous & reckless, even for FD. I still give weight to the simplest solution & hope one day for answers for all.
**The only thing I can’t explain is JFd Bluetooth reconnecting to the Suburban at 2:56P. As always, JMO
I'm not sure we have enough information solely from the AAs (MT, MT and KM) and MT evidence presented at trial to Occam Razor the body location.
LE have been trying for 5 years and they have much more evidence imo than was presented at the MT trial imo. As we have seen, searches have happened both in NC and Farmington area. I don't think all the locations searched by CSP were public either so there is much not known on this front unfortunately to allow us here to eliminate speculated positions either imo.
Gray Hughes (youtube channel I think is Gray Hughes Investigates) long ago looked at the FD timeline via the AA and did some brilliant work using google earth to look at possible locations in/around NC where FD might have gone during the period of the time gap. Gray Hughes took down these videos around the time of the MT Trial for reasons I don't understand and IDK if he will ever put them back up. But to me these videos (think there were 2) opened up the range of possibilities in a clear visual manner in and around NC (into NY State/Westchester County). But, the videos also made clear that if an accomplice was in NC and the body was given to the accomplice from the JF Suburban that the body could have gone in any direction and never been detected by LE unless they knew where the body transfer took place. Gary also iirc looked at the possibility of the body transfer happening on Lapham but many didn't believe that made sense due to the traffic levels and risk of detection.
The MT trial seemed imo to 'excise' KM related timeline, vehicle/s etc. in an almost surgical manner (for obvious reasons) and I do believe he was a crucial element possibly in understanding the location of the body, but this view is purely speculation as other than the charge placed on him by the State we actually know very little as his AA is quite sparse imo in comparison to FD and MT.
We also didn't receive much of any telemetric/GPS etc. data from the 2015 Suburban FD vehicle or the White Jeep Cherokee in the MT trial. Did the MT rental Tahoe play any role in anything having to do with the body? Or, was there another vehicle and conspirator in NC that is unknown the case? What's up with the Armenian car dealer in Farmington area that CSP spent so much time investigating? Do the Toot brothers have any known associates in the US? Could go on and on and then you get into 'tin foil hat' territory!
Perhaps this information is all being saved in the event that there is a trial for KM? IDK. I don't suspect that we will ever know unfortunately.
I do think its a safe bet that FD would not be driving a body around in the I think 18 year old Tacoma with an uncertain starter and bad oil leak. But, who knows as he clearly was not a risk averse person. We've seen no other conspirators named since the charges were made on FD, MT and KM. Is there someone LE might know of but can't charge? We don't have an answer to that either imo. We do know that the Federal level investigation of Andreas Toot was dropped for reasons unknown. Was the investigation dropped for valid reasons or was the information deemed too expensive and time consuming to pursue? Who knows as neither State nor FBI ever spoke of the matter.
We also still have iirc roughly 40 min of unaccounted for timeline for FD in NC. Baffling to me that LE had and searched camera footage from all over NC and YET could not find what FD could have been doing in these 40 min. Why did the State leave the timeline gap for FD unresolved in the MT trial? Will they close this gap in the KM trial?
I haven't gone back to review the MT timeline post trial but my recollection is that the State 'tightened up' the MT timeline a bit with the 'car parade' and 'smoke signals' at 80MS and 4Jx, respectively. But, my recollection is that there were still gaps in the timeline that the State left unexplained. Again, why? Did the State not know MT locations or did they choose to not disclose it at her trial. I don't think we can answer that. For my money I don't know why the Jeep Cherokee data wasn't disclosed at trial (unless I missed it) as it appeared MT was driving that vehicle mostly during times critical imo to answering the question of where the body might be. We also don't know if MT might have seen the body or even heard FD talk about it. We have just heard MT say that she, "...doesn't know where Jennifer is....".
I've seen estimates for the cost of the investigation to range from $5 million to $10 million and CSP still 'claims' to still have an active investigation going. Given the extent of the CSP investigation it never made much sense that the body of JF was never recovered. Could the body or partial remains have been found by CSP and this not disclosed to the public and only made known to the family?
FD/MT/KM made any number of mistakes (not many admittedly) in the murder of JF but why does it seem there were no mistakes made regarding the removal of the body of JF? Does CSP know where the removal of the body of JF even took place? IDK and frankly I doubt we will ever know.
Should the CSP have called in the FBI in a more significant capacity earlier in the process and possibly even turned the entire investigation over to them with possibly a better result in terms of finding the body? Impossible to say as it never happened as CSP only seemed to use FBI resources in a limited way based on what we as the public saw in term of searching using canine crews etc. I do hope CSP does an internal review of the investigation (plan/do/evaluate basic model) to see what worked in the investigation and what didn't but also to see if seeking outside assistance earlier in the process might have had a different result in terms of body recovery. CSP has a long history in CT for lack of transparency that is too long to go into here but I do hope they evaluate the performance and errors and readjust process and procedures accordingly.
Could keep writing questions endlessly as sadly the trial of MT didn't seem to help much in answering the 'where is the body' of JF question imo.
MOO
