I'd be so disappointed with that. I want the cell tower location for each and every ping, and the exact time. Yes, to the ending time for the 9:57 pm call--a definite must have.
I also want a time for the knock on her door on the evening of the 23rd.
I'd love to compare the mileage covered as the phone moved from tower to tower with the gas level. Just guessing right now, but I bet we would find that the phone never really traveled far.
This one is harder because it depends mostly on people's presumptions of what Jennifer would or would not do.
You make an interesting point by mentioning that someone should find out if Jenn had ever FedEx'd anything to anyone from her workplace before.
LE said there were nine FedEx shipping centers near Jenn's condo and they checked each and every one of them for surveillance videos, etc.
This was early on, and my guess is they were following the pings.
I'm wondering if you called the tip line? If so, I'm wondering if you have heard any of the rumblings that sometimes they don't forward the tips?
I never really paid much attention to it, but I believe this has been mentioned on the Unconcluded podcast. If I'm wrong I hope someone corrects me, but I think they suggest calling the OPD and asking to speak to the detective in charge.
I've been looking and looking for the original images of the POI that were released prior to the video--the images that I think you used for most of your work. I'm wondering if you know anyplace where they still have them intact.
I can't get over that face you came up with. The very last thing I see on the video appears to still be the back of his head, and by this point he is past the main gate and very near to the first post past the gate, (one smaller post before, maybe).
Also, do you believe there is time missing from the video? If so, that is something else I would love to see--the complete footage.
This is yet another of your excellent points. There is no guarantee that any PI--no matter how highly skilled or recommended--would be able to provide the Kesse's with the results they want.
Re: the tower locations -
Assuming there is ping data, the tower locations would be the most sensitive data the OPD has in the case. If one were to insist on all or none, the answer would be none.
In trying to move the case along, take the most sensitive data out of the equation and get a chance to use the timestamps and some aspect of relative movement, along with zero cell phone activity after that, to make a reasonable determination that abduction took place during that ping data. Or just what it might help determine. But the actual locations of the towers aren't needed for that, and that shouldn't stop progress in analysis based on knowing when the cell phones were active.
As far as those 11 pings determining a path that was taken, sure, with enough pings over enough time, absolutely. With a few pings in a concentrated time, well, the pings can bounce around and it seems from Kesse's statements did bounce around and sure, if we had the data we'd be able to analyze it and it would be much more helpful but I'd rather get the timestamps than nothing. Of course this is probably all a waste of time as we'll get nothing but the question was asked how progress could be made.
Sure, more information on that knock on the door, absolutely. Who was on the phone with her, when did that happen?
I guarantee you the phones didn't travel far powered on because the pings stopped after a few minutes, by 10:40 it seems. That means nothing other than you have an abductor that knows phones leave a trail and disabled them.
Re: shipping packages from work -
This is 101 stuff and has an amazing amount of pushback given how important it is. Suggest that she was trying to get it sent off from a FedEx type place and you will get "she was sending it from work, of course". Ask for what the basis is for saying Jennifer planned on sending the cell phone from work to her brother's friend and you will get absolute silence.
It appears most people who say this have sent a personal package from work using the company mailroom because "people do that" or something. All I ever asked was for some hard questions to be asked and answered of her employer and people she worked with, and anyone she talked to Monday evening when told about the friend's request to get his phone back ASAP, and exectly what she indicated she would do about it. And there is nothing.
I'm not talking about speculation, that's coming from the people who said she would send it from work. I'm talking about asking hard questions and getting answers.
I did call OPD tipline in 2007, twice. One when I found the thigh holster, once when I found his face. I have one of the report numbers the helpful I assume volunteer gave me: 156-119850
I left my phone number, I left my email address, I heard nothing back. When you look at all the violent crime these cops have to deal with everyday I get that investigations are not something they have time to do. But it should be clear what police want. They want a phone call saying so and so did it. They probably have enough of that and blood spatter evidence to not have time for intricate investigations.
The original images are at the top of my POI Blowup page, you posted the link a page or two back. I got the first two I think from the jenniferkesse site. Yeah, I just checked and they're under the POI Photos link at top of page. The third photo I got from a photo archive active at time, a lot of stuff became inactive and photos lost over the years. I'm glad I ran across it at time.
I don't know what the OPD released, but it seems to be those three stills which is what we have in range of that pool gate surveillance camera. The nature of the way those surveillance cameras were used was a delay between capturing images, configurable and I expect something around a second. The time stamp second on the first two images is 27 and the third image is 28.
The lens is actually open the whole time so you have the motion filming effect photographers use, which cause unnatural effects in the images with movement as this guy was doing walking across the screen. An image is captured after each delay, and those are all the images there are. There are not interval images like when he is between the gate posts.
I remember looking at different monitors to get different takes on the image blowups and realizing looking at one screen that there was a face looking back at me. Pretty shocking to say the least.
I bought one of the last CRT monitors in existence like I used to do my work, a 19" Viewsonic which veterans will recall. As I understand it these glass CRT's aren't even made anymore, I was lucky to find one still packaged up on EBay, because my original one bought the farm. Well it's even been a few years since I bought a replacement on EBay. In any event, I wanted to be able to continue to work with these images as I first did in 2007 and help LE or PI analyze the images if there was interest.
Maybe one of these days.
