To the poster above (working on my quoting skills) who said Jodi was fine until she met Travis...
Travis was not the cause of her personality disorders and sociopathy. He didn't force her into PPL or the Mormon Church. She became involved with PPL long before she met him. She became involved in the Mormon Church because she realized the only way she had a shot with the man with whom she was almost immediately obsessed was to convert. She realized early on he was empathetic and subject to manipulation in many ways, save for one: his faith.
He never felt she was wife material and the few months they actually dated - in 2007 - they didn't even live in the same state! One cane hardly accuse Travis of leading her on when he broke it off less than 4 months later. It was Jodi's obsession with him that led her to move nearby AFTER they stopped dating. She tried (and succeeded) to continue manipulating him afterward by pretending to be okay with the break up, just wanting to be **** buddies, cleaning his house. Staying close to him any way she could.
In the months leading up to her brutal slaying of him, he'd finally sought help to break the relationship off for good. He knew she was bad for him and his life. It was Travis who was fine before he met Jodi.
Certainly, this is JMO... But it's not Travis in jail right now, is it?
