I just emailed because it seems easier. Neither I or my husband have any experience in that region, so I feel weird calling in and explaining a brainstorming idea. ;0)
I also wanted to add- andI apologize in advance if this belongs more in the "What We Know About Jesse" thread- but since it's more about what we DON'T know and they have been searching farms, calling out to people to search their property etc I thought I'd put it here:
We don't usually think of an overweight guy with dreads working on a farm or "farmette"- but remember he didn't always look like that. He was a lean, athletic clean cut looking kid that was the star football player. How did he make spare money in high school and college? I know my husband liked the random farm labor or brush clearing on someone's property jobs because as an athletic strong guy he didn't have a schedule- people knew him and he could work a day or two when he wanted some extra cash. I think a lot of young guys are like that and it's a very attractive job for a young male- basically you set your own schedule and only work when you want money for beer, concerts, video games etc. Did Jesse ever have any jobs like that?
I think with property searches most people have a "it won't happen to me" philosophy- as in what are the odds a missing person is on *my* property?
I hope more people would think back and try to remember younger Jesse and ask themselves if he ever did odd jobs for them. Of course it was long enough ago that though some people may no longer remember. :0(
I just can't shake the feeling that there ARE people out there out there hold major clues to the search that for whatever reason are not coming forward.
