Hello all!
I have been reading through the whole thread for a few days, and have just been approved to post. I live in the area that all of this is going on and had a few thoughts to throw out there:
- It seems highly unlikely that JVH would have disposed of the body or done anything of significance near his home. The OPD headquarters is right near by and those major roads (Bluford, Clarke, Silver Star, Ocoee Apopka, Colonial/SR 50) are all heavily trafficked by LE. As well, the back of the OPD hq is connected to Starke Lake...and has essentially no non-public access to the lake - the boat dock and parking areas are within eye site of the headquarters, the east bank is sitting on heavily trafficked Silver Star, the west bank sits directly across from a row of homes where the owners are often up very late, and the north bank to my knowledge can only be accessed via a private subdivision - while you can enter the subdivision, access to the lake would require entering someone's property and parking on the road. Not likely that JVH or anyone else carried a body that far.
- I'm drawn to one particular area of Clarcona Ocoee & Ingram Road. From the threads I understand that TES searched at least some of that area recently. However, just up the road from that corner is a large amount of wooded area, with a pretty rural side road that leads to a cemetery. In all the time I've lived here, I think I've seen a car on that road once. I believe it would be easy to shut off the lights, roll the car up, take care of the body, and leave being essentially undetected. There is housing in there area, but it's all behind concrete walls....and it's always been a dumping ground for random junk. If that area hasn't been searched, it needs to be. As well, if I'm following where OG's car was found, it's essentially right up the road from that, which would give me the indication that JVH was pretty familiar with this area.
- JVH runs with what seems to be a kind of seedy crowd. Interestingly enough, I have been unfortunate to be introduced to several of the local seedy individuals in the past couple years due to a friend with a drug problem. Seems they all run in the same groups and know each other. I'm curious who might know who...because it would add some connection and behavioral patterns to JVH. Very possible there is no connection, but saddly many of the recent deaths in Orlando can be tied within a handful of degrees to someone my friend knows well, or knows through a friend of a friend. Wha's the saying....birds of a feather flock together?
Anyway, that's my two cents.... what an eerie feeling to hear helicopters flying over my house and see signs asking for searchers. Everytime I pass a wooded area or a body of water, I wonder if we're only feet from finding Tracy...I hope we can help bring her home!
