I've been going over many of the texts from April/May 2008... Travis was one angry fellow (for good reason, in my mind).
Then I read JA's long letter (written in mid-May, 2008 I believe) - WOW... it is chilling. More on that later if I don't get sidetracked.
One little potential discovery I made was in an IM/chat exchange between JA and Ryan Burns. JA describes confronting Travis about cheating, even though they were no longer bf/gf. Telling Ryan she read emails and/or when through Travis' phone - who assured her he had no interest in (whomever).
ryansppl: oh when you confronted him you told him you knew
ryansppl: and saw all those texts
ryansppl:
I'm so sorry you had to feel that! It hurts me to think you were so hurt you[re] shaking... i am so sorry jodi
So yes, apparently Travis did make JA shake - not from fear, not from hurt, but from searing, unmitigated
RAGE.
