I haven't posted here in such a long time and I apologise if this is in the wrong place or out of content.
I'm so extremely upset about this case. I look at these crime scene photos and cringe every time. I cannot even try and imagine what this poor guy went through. He really seemed like such a decent and nice young man - and quite attractive
There is a few things in this case that I haven't completely wrapped my mind around - again I apologise if this is in the wrong place but please bear in mind, I live in South Africa and only came upon this case 2 weeks ago, so I don't know everything about this case.
1. How come noboby looked for Travis? It took them 5 days? That doesn't make any sense - especially not smelling decomposition....
2. How did she move his body around in such a short period of time? Is there no possibility that she perhaps had help?
3. I have read quite a bit of people thinking some sort of Mormon ritual / slaying / cleansing happened here - what is your thoughts?
Then I stumbled across this "jodi is innocent" website - goodness! You would think Travis begged to be murdered/butchered. Maybe he was abusive (emotionally/sexually) towards her but why didn't she just walk away?
Just me thinking out loud! And JMO!
And when I got into bed last night I realised it's exactly 5 years. I just get incredibly sad every time I look at this poor guy, left in that shower for 5 damn days, it's just so inhumane and cruel, I can't get that picture out of my head. RIP Travis. May justice be served in sentencing as well.
Just my opinions:
1- He didn't work a 9-5 in an office. His roommates who lived downstairs thought he'd already left town for Cancun. That's why he wasn't missed. As far as how long it took to find him -- he was inside a closed bathroom, inside a closed and locked master bedroom, with the Air Conditioning on. The odor would have been vented upwards. From what I recall from testimony when the people who found him got close to the bedroom door they smelled it.
2 - No, I don't think so at all. Jodi is not a tiny woman. She's a fit, 5'5 woman and Travis was not overly huge. She had plenty of time to move him, clean herself up, clean the crime scene, and take off. There's no testimony that she moved him in a 'short period of time'. The last time stamp anyone has is the photo of her moving the body, and the next one is many hours later when she leaves the phone message for him. If someone remembers the testimony differently I'm sure they'll correct me - quickly :twocents:
3 - Nonsense; total nonsense based on some people's hatred of the LDS IMHO. (And I am most definitely not LDS). It's like how some people claim murders to be the work of "Satanists" - for some people I think there's a need to demonize those in another religion, especially one steeped in ritual.
Re that JA is innocent web site - well, the world is full of all types, eh?
So you're from South Africa?? I've always wanted to visit there, I hear it's b eautiful. Speaking of high profile crimes are you following the Oscar Pistorious case closely? There's a confusing and tragic case. We get some coverage here, but only of major developments. What are your thoughts?
