IN - James Chadwell II, 42, arrested after missing girl 9, found in his home, Lafayette, 19 Apr 2021

[margarita25]

It does looks like he had a active warrant out for his arrest when he committed this crime. Maybe he was giving up and decided he would go all out.

I'm not in any way suggesting that we shouldn't be discussing him; but based on what many have said about his personality etc:
Wouldn't he be thrilled to know so many are discussing him in minute detail, his looks, his tats, what he says, what he does, his motivations, even his crimes. Wouldn't he?

(Ew, gross. Probably.)

 

[Medstudies]

Good one. Interesting stuff.

Omg, I posted that on PF 1 (post 10) but missed some stuff. (I think I posted the actual link later)

idk. maybe? Lol

 

[Doghairrules]

Yes. I think he's proud of himself.

In my mind, a wannabe doesn't do nine years in prison for punching police and assaulting corrections officers. A wannabe doesn't have multiple protection orders out on him. IMO, he's the real deal.

If anything, his "fake" side is more about trying to fool himself, rather than anyone else, into believing that he isn't honestly a sick SOB to his very core. Jmo

I agree. Would the assault charges be enough to qualify him to have to provide his dna? The info provided above says they do it for violent crimes and sex offenses. I’m just curious if they already have it or if he will be giving it up when he gets charged with the sexual assault of this little girl.

Probably but I don't care about his feelings. I think it's important, since we can't screenshot his FB pages, then we are able to offer opinions and describe his posts and what perusing those posts feels like. Ya know, for the sake of posterity. This way, when anyone questions why he deserves the Death Penalty, by example, then they can read here the many reasons why, as exclaimed honestly by a copious group gathered from multiple walks of life on this site.

Imo, they already have his DNA from prior jail time. But there's a lot more into connecting him with other crimes than his DNA alone. Jmo

I agree, I was just asking if what I speculated was consistent with what has been posted about his personality.

Thinking about other possible “vibes”, jmo:

“Thinks he’s pulling one off on you...

May think he’s smarter than he really is...

(imagining a chat at the bar)

Ah, here’s one, “shyster”...(“Yeah man, I’ve got some rings...I’ll show em to you, wanna buy them?”)

*I think I’m letting my mind run too far now lol, back to the media thread.

Eta, one more:
“Sneaky, liar” - I would wonder if he was lying about the rings, how he really got them.

 

[Inthedetails]

Yea I am soooo not expressing my thoughts clearly. I don’t doubt that he’s a violent criminal. I just think he’s a poser in his Tiktok’s- FB posts, Where he’s posing at being a kindly cool guy trying to offer words of wisdom to kids about “rape date”, or quoting Bob Marley , (peace and love) or being down with “brothers”.

Yikes, not claiming facts, all just MOO.

Yes, I know what you mean. He wants to be a Good Guy Outlaw.

Blech.

 

[Inthedetails]

Yes, I know what you mean. He wants to be a Good Guy Outlaw.

Blech.

To clarify, he wants to be SEEN by others as a Good Guy Outlaw, not that he is one.

 

[Inthedetails]

Did anyone else notice one of the pages he liked on facebook was SciLawForensics? They specialize in providing material to criminal defense teams on cases that involve "complex scientific evidence".

Most of the posts on their FB page are about DNA being used to solve old cases.

Looks like they're located in SD. Maybe something he researched in relation to a previous case from his time there.

Wow. Good eye!

Indiana Criminal Confinement Statute
Indiana makes a very clear distinction as to what constitutes as criminal confinement. Please see the Indiana law regarding what is criminal confinement.

(a) A person who knowingly or intentionally confines another person without the other person’s consent commits criminal confinement.  Except as provided in subsection (b), the offense of criminal confinement is a Level 6 felony.

(b) The offense of criminal confinement defined in subsection (a) is:

(1) a Level 5 felony if:

(A) the person confined is less than fourteen (14) years of age and is not the confining person’s child;

(B) it is committed by using a vehicle;  or

(C) it results in bodily injury to a person other than the confining person;

(2) a Level 3 felony if it:

(A) is committed while armed with a deadly weapon;

(B) results in serious bodily injury to a person other than the confining person;  or

(C) is committed on an aircraft;  and

(3) a Level 2 felony if it is committed:

(A) with intent to obtain ransom;

(B) while hijacking a vehicle;

(C) with intent to obtain the release, or intent to aid in the escape, of any person from lawful incarceration;  or

(D) with intent to use the person confined as a shield or hostage.

Not sure how CODIS works... do you submit the dna and it just keeps running continuously till there is a match? Do you need to submit it more than once to run a check?? If his DNA is in the system then they would have already found any connections right?

lol.
the “pulling one over” I’ve heard it termed “duper’s delight”. MOO, that’s one characteristic of him.

anyway...

I just got back from his FB where he’s bragging about riding his bike 15 miles that day. 4-6 weeks later he said he quit Subaru and is going to ride it to Florida.

(And we all say “Sure, Jan” in unison)

Only if the other previously committed offense did indeed have a good DNA sample to match with. I know of at least on other case where I dont think LE or the public are sure that DNA collected from a crime scene was actually that of the perpetrator.
