(SBM)
So please don't take this too personally, but I want to ask: have we been over-focusing on the SA angle? What is another approach/angle/idea that nobody has talked much or discussed that could break this case open?
I guess a big one for me is the possibility that Jennifer disappeared the night before, perhaps when looking to ship those two phones back, instead of an abduction in the morning. Some posts a few pages ago really swayed me into thinking that it's a very plausible alternative theory.
Oh, this has been hotly debated over the years. It still is.
I don't know if her reason for going out would have been to mail the phones, but I believe she went out. She called Rob that night from her cell phone where she had almost always called him from her landline in the evening. She did not call or text Rob on the morning of the 24th as was her habit.
She could have gone out for something as simple as to get something to eat. Or her reasons could have been much more complicated.
She asked her father what he was making for dinner when she talked to him at 6:15 pm on the 23rd so she was thinking about eating. And yet there was nothing in her trash but junk mail that she had picked up from her mailbox around 6:25 pm/6:30 pm.
The apartment was "maid clean" supposedly just the way Logan and his two cohorts had left it.
The dishes were still in the dishwasher. They had put them in and ran it before they left.
When Jennifer entered her condo she left her luggage on the floor in the foyer and set the gifts of rum beside it. With the exception of her hair dryer and her eyeglasses, that's where everything was found. Her purse was still inside her luggage, never missing. The DVD player remained in her vehicle.
Before her phone call to Rob, she talked to her long-time friend Lauren for almost two hours. Lauren said Jennifer was in a "funky" mood. She talked maybe for 10 or 15 minutes to Travis, the owner of the 2nd missing cell phone.
We don't know in what order she talked to the above two people or if she talked to anyone else with the exception of Rob.
But talking to Lauren and Travis would bring the time to about 9:00 pm. About 1/2 hour later Jennifer initiated the cell phone call to Rob. He was doing an event that night in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He said the call lasted about 30 minutes. They had an unfortunate disagreement.
We know, from law enforcement, that the call ended at 9:57 pm.
Jennifer was never heard from again.
That's it. There is absolutely no confirmation of the time Jennifer went missing. Unconfirmed damp towels (damp from her brother showering before he left Monday?) and water droplets under bottles or in the corners behind the bottles are not considered evidence by law enforcement. It's much too vague.
Outfits laid out on her bed? She could have been thinking about what to wear the night before.
The covers on Jennifer's bed were pulled up but the bed appeared "slept in". Wasn't Jennifer's brother not feeling well before he left and didn't he decide to lie down? Did he leave the covers slightly disarrayed?
If they are ever going to solve this case, law enforcement has to go back and find out what Jennifer did that night. That's where the thread that will begin the unraveling lies. Talk to people who were current in her life. What did she do on the average work night? Who did she socialize with? What activities was she involved in? Charities? Organizations? Overtime? How often?
Re-chasing old leads that were run down in 2009 by law enforcement will not help.
