I'm here to clear up any misunderstandings:
I am a childhood friend to Jeremy, and I considered him my brother, as we were extremely close. That said, I just want to clear up some things as I have access to private information untold to the media (and the media wouldn't care because it clears his name):
Heavan and Jeremy both planned to die, according to notes written by Heavan. Jeremy was always extremely depressed and I believe Heavan wrote that she would rather die than be without Jeremy (or something along those lines). They both had terrible upbringings. I believe Heavan started living with Jeremy in the first place just to escape from home. I spent a lot of time with them while they were living in Indianapolis.
Yes, they were vegan. I tried many times to get them to eat some meat -- but they refused on the premise that animals were abused. They weren't even vegetarians at one point but they chose to go down that path. The meals that were undigested in their bodies when they were found? Their favorite fast food from Lapel. They gave up the diet that day -- an indication that this was their final meal and they knew it.
At their bodies, there was a loaded bowl of cannabis found. They were smokers, I can confirm. This can also explain why Jeremy shot her three times -- since he never used a gun in his life as far as me and my family know, and since he was extremely anti-gun politically. He probably tried to shoot her in an instant spot and failed, so he tried two more times until the deed was done -- all of this while impaired on cannabis.
The place they died was a place they frequently visited together. My parents (who were like second parents to Jeremy) suspect that they died there because they knew that someone who knew that they went there occasionally would look for them there. This was obviously not the case though, since they were found by a passerby on a snow mobile.
Jeremy and Heavan were very good people. They were kind and caring. They also wrote music together and Jeremy was a pretty good guitarist. I loved them both.
As for shooting her from behind -- I imagine she didn't want to know when he was going to shoot her, and so he shot her when she was turned around.
I really hate the fact that the media is smearing his name and attacking him because Heavan's lying mother has always disliked Jeremy from the beginning of when they started dating. And I'm angry that the Lapel Police didn't try hard enough to look for them probably because it was Heavan's mother making the claims -- the same woman who has numerous drug convictions and also bit a cop.
They both decided to die -- and they did. That's what happened, and that's the way it should be reported. This smearing campaign against Jeremy from the media is disgusting.
