(I might be more confused after I wrote all this than when I started! :scared: maybe something in here will "ring" true with someone else... Sorry, I should be ashamed of that pun...:facepalm
I think that the phone numbers might offer the best clues, assuming they have firmly established that JD made these calls. Here are some things I noticed in looking at the bill... (Oh, and I'm assuming that the number labelled "amount" is the cost of the call? It does make it harder to figure out how long the calls might have been due to different rates to different areas).
All of her calls were designated as "station calls" not "person calls". I haven't been able to find precisely what that meant. I'm going to see if I can get more specifics from searching in a bit...
The bill was addressed to CM Fox, Jr, so I am guessing he was probably the landlord of the apt or room she was renting. The first documented call was to the "time", which could have been her checking that the phone was working.
Although there are two bills here (one due in Dec and one due in Jan), the calls she made spanned exactly one month (11/17-12/17). Perhaps she only paid for one months rent?
The likelihood, according to the other articles posted, is that she died on Dec 31st, IIRC. That leaves a two-week window where she made no calls from that location. Seems possible that she and GC were living in or headed to, CT from sometime right around the 17th. (GC escaped from custody on Oct 7th? I think. So if they didn't know each other before, it was a fast random meeting.... Or they knew someone in common who introduced them. Where was he staying during that time? Was he hiding out at her place from 11/17 onward?)
She always called Nashville, TN during the day hours (it's coded as a 1). Same number 3 times, another number once. This could support what another poster proposed that she may have been trying to break into the entertainment scene. (As opposed to calling family or friends after work/ school hours. Or, going out on a real limb here... Could she have been calling mom to touch base during day hours when she knew dad was at work?). Both numbers in Nashville appear to have connected for a period of time, based on cost. Also, both numbers have the same prefix. Where I grew up, prefixes were attached to certain areas/neighborhoods. Don't know if it was the same in Nashvl. Side note: when I lived in Cheney, WA in the early 90's, we didn't even use the prefix, we'd just give our 4digits... My number was 2120. I worked at Dominos and we'd just write the 4 digits on the box slip... Sorry, I digress...
An odd gap- there is nothing from 11/26-12/10. Nov 26 was Thanksgiving. We may be missing some calls, maybe they just didn't show that page of the bill? I really wish we could see who/if she called anyone on TG. if there were no calls, why not? The day before TG, she called a number in Leavittown, PA. Same town she made the last call to- different number, same prefix. (This is one of the numbers Carl traced...see my quote of his post below)...
She allowed, a collect call from Newark, NJ in the evening on 12/11 from a number she never called. This was the Friday evening before her last call.
The last call was made to Leavittown, PA, at night, to a number she had called previously. I think she may not have ever connected on those calls... Two of them cost .15, made during day hours, and the final one cost .10, made at night. If those calls didn't connect, could they have been a signal? (I know, sounds like old spy-movie stuff- ring twice then hang up. But maybe??)
I don't know the exact line between the hours distinctions, but I'm guessing that Day was business hours, Evening was like 5-8 or 9pm, Night would be like 9pm to 12 or 1am, and then late, like 1am to 6am?). At any rate (oof, no pun intended :facepalm
, looks like her last call was briefly on 12/17 probably after 8pm.
Sorry this got so long!!
Respectfully snipped:
I was able to trace three of the phone numbers on the phone bill.
* The 215 945 0131 belonged to a J--- A------ who lived on 7500 Knights Road in Bensalem PA in 1974. That address no longer exists. There is a chance that he obtained that number between 1970 and 1974, but he still had the same number in 1994 (and lived in Levittown at that time).
* The 615 244 4259 belonged to a B---- D----- of Nashville TN in 1994. He was born in 1935, and lived in the area all his life up to that
-snip
It's possible that they obtained those telephone numbers between 1970 and 1994 (or in the case of JA, between 1970 and 1974), but there would be no reason to do so if they had all lived in the area the entire time.
