Something happened Friday night at work. Perhaps something only the two of them knew. I find it odd that she wouldn't want to be there just because he had to work. So he says the plans got shifted to Sunday or maybe pushed further back to Monday. Or maybe never, (IMO) because someone ended the relationship.

Maybe that's the reason why Franz asked Ally if she was coming home. Maybe he thought she might be going back to spend the weekend with WS as originally planned. This might also explain why she was 'snippy' as suggested.

Wasn't this when the 4 a.m. "I love you" texts were sent? (The last communication CM 2121 had with A ). So when was the break-up you are referencing?

I think that those texts were purportedly sent by Ally. I don't believe a word that the VI says. Everyone is lying but he?

Maybe she “lost” her phone on Friday night!
We know she didn’t take it on the run.
Didn’t it mysteriously turn up somewhere? Or am I getting confused with a different case?

I would like to address the "snippy" comments since they kept coming up repeatedly. On the day Ally died, after her nap, she went out to the garage to put her running shoes on. Her father was in the garage and asked her (sad irony here), "Are you coming back home." She snapped back with "Well yes I'm coming home." If you think about it, that was kind of a dumb thing for him to ask. Of course she was planning to come home from where her run started. Where else would she go? This came up while interviewing the parents to show that Ally could be snippy sometimes - maybe she encountered someone during her run - said something smart-mouthed and it cost her dearly. If you read the tributes to Ally, you may get a better insight to her personality.

Where was N when A left the house? Did she witness this comment ?

Do not threaten me! I do not need to spin my way out of anything. MSP (LE) has every single email you and I ever exchanged, including the ones with all your profanities and threats. That's the last thing I'm going to say to you!

Wow, I can't imagine why an innocent person would threaten a reporter. It makes total sense to me that Ally would want to move back home after breaking up with such a scary, volatile, angry individual. I can also see why she might try to maintain a cordial relationship/friendship with such a person--not out of genuine affection but out of sheer terror. I would be afraid to ignore a text message or decline an invitation to hang out. I might also agree, "um, sure, maybe in the future, we can get back together" just to pacify him while secretly planning a trip to Florida to see an ex. If he publically treats strangers online and reporters in such a disturbing way, imagine what he's like in private when he's upset. His behavior online is that of a controlling, abusive man, exactly the kind of person who might become enraged about a trip to see an ex if he found out about it. I'm just shocked that he's not making any effort to pretend to be "nice and normal" in public. If he's innocent, he could not be making a worse case for himself. It's astounding to me that he's behaving like this--whether guilty or innocent!

I seem to remember she was at church, having left the house before Ally woke.

As Lt. Shaw said, there is still a killer out there. Rose Township is a predominantly affluent bedroom community. Many of the private properties span several acres. There is really no business there that I know of, other than one gas station/party store. School is about to start again at the end of August. Rose Township children wait for the school bus (in the dark after the time changes) on the dirt roads there. People are still afraid. They don't want to jog, take walks or ride their bikes anymore. I asked the township supervisor for an aerial map of the township. There are literally hundreds of lakes, ponds and streams, anywhere a gun could easily be pitched. Many of these ponds are on private property. Searching those would be like finding a needle in a haystack. I personally am going to focus my thoughts on what could have happened. Are we missing something? The road she was jogging on is very very narrow. On a good day (no snow) depending on the size of your truck or car, you might have to pull over a bit to let the oncoming vehicle pass. I can't believe no one heard a gunshot, let alone four. That particular Saturday it was raining in the morning. After it stopped I can't believe there weren't people outside doing something in their yards. Did the neighborhood children hear anything? Surely, some of them had to be playing outside. Lt. Shaw is right, someone knows something. They may not even be aware that they do. I hope with the continued media coverage that something will spark and they come forward, even if it seems insignificant to them.

Why are they all so scared if it was the ex? Doesn't that indicate a random shooter or attempted abduction/serial killer?

I am hoping Rave may be able to confirm for us.

 

[Shiressleuth]

It is not obvious that I suspected the parents. There were a couple of things that Franz said that I thought were strange. But I have since had those things explained and they were explained to my satisfaction. This man is from another country and sometimes they say things in a way that may not make sense to us right away, but given a chance to explain, it became crystal clear what they meant. My own parents were German and I understand how a language barrier, even if it's just a few misplaced words, can appear to change what their intentions were when they said it. This whole thing makes me so sad.

Rave, did you ask CM2121 for a contribution to your article? If not, why not?

 

[Jennifer17]

Well no, because no one has been charged yet.

I am hoping Rave may be able to confirm for us.

Why would Rave have to confirm that? It has been reported many times that Nikki went to church. Why do you need a third party to confirm this?

 

[Jennifer17]

Rave, did you ask CM2121 for a contribution to your article? If not, why not?

Could it be that he sent her threatening and profanity laden emails?

 

[Shiressleuth]

Hi Rave.

Some posters may try to trick you even though they are obviously on Wes side.

So be careful and just keep it nuetral since this isn't the only case you cover.

Who are you talking about?

 

[Shiressleuth]

Well no, because no one has been charged yet.

Why would Rave have to confirm that? It has been reported many times that Nikki went to church. Why do you need a third party to confirm this?

Why don't we let Rave answer? If she doesn't want to that's her prerogative.

 

[Shiressleuth]

I don't believe Wes is guilty either for the simple reason he had no motive. He shared very affectionate text messages. I also don't believe he was familiar at all with those rural roads in Rose Township nor did he know Ally's running route. What still concerns me greatly is why Ally didn't take her phone with her.

Have LE stated she did not have her phone with her? Do LE have her phone now? I'm not clear about the phone actually.

 

[Shiressleuth]

I'm lost, as well. This thread is a doozey.

I don't get it either. Are posts being deleted but the replies are not?
Dexter please can you clarify?

 

[Shiressleuth]

I think that those texts were purportedly sent by Ally. I don't believe a word that the VI says. Everyone is lying but he?

Do you think he faked those texts? That would be pretty stupid if he did as LE would definitely know that. They have her phone if she left it at home, as has been reported.

 

[Shiressleuth]

So our suspect fakes some texts as an alibi and then gets a shotgun and drives to wait for A to confront her. A sees him and comes over to car, sees the weapon and turns to run. Suspect shoots erratically and one finds it's mark, proving to be fatal. Suspect speeds off.

Opinion only of course.

There are more and more cases here on WS, where there is no reasonable ongoing timeline for the (assumed innocent) main players. It can't be possible, the timeline of the 2 parents of 1 victim (all staying at 1 home) isn't clear from the beginning and can't be confirmed immediately. IMO Who is to blame for that? LE? Media? Both?

If you think about it, that was kind of a dumb thing for him to ask. Of course she was planning to come home from where her run started. Where else would she go?

I'm someone, who has to translate and I can't see, why Ally's answer should be "snippy". I think, it's an usual harmless answer to an odd question. Maybe, the tone made the music and the tone sounded "snippy", that is possible.
bbm
This bold and underlined part of sentence seems to be very mysterious.

Where did Ally's run start?? Didn't it start on the parent's property, after A. had put her running shoes on? Did A. drive somewhere, then left her car and started running??
That would be a new version of sequence of events, I think.

If A. indeed drove her car to the "start point", the next question would be, if her phone stayed at home or in her car.

 

[Rave1953]

Regarding the family having ties with LE, I have no idea where that came from. The first I heard of that was on this thread. I don't wish to address anything he posted, there is much more to this and I can't go there.

Vera,
You stated that you haven’t had contact with Wes since March. Does this mean that you didn’t reach out to Wes to ask him if he would like to provide a tribute for the recent 2-year anniversary article that you published? Or, did you extend an invitation to Wes and he did not respond?

UNSOLVED - Mi - Alexandra Brueger, 31, Fatally Shot While Jogging, Rose Twp, 30 July 2016 #3

The tributes were sent to me voluntarily at the request of Ally's friends and family. I did not solicit them - I collected them and arranged for editing, layout, etc. The one time I did include his comments in an Ally article, Nikki took offense to what he said and submitted a letter to the editor disputing some of the things he said. He told me after that he would never be quoted by me again. I contacted him a second time for a quote and he ignored it. So no, I didn't bother.
