Evening all..
Just some thoughts and observations as I try to play out the scenario of what may have happened. I too agree that unfortunately, she was abducted by someone who wanted to fulfill some type of sexual gratification, fantasy, etc. While I do think it was someone local, I don't think they had any type of friendship/relationship/etc. If anything, I would assume that he's a long time customer who only recently became more friendly, more flirtatious, etc. I don't think she was being stalked (openly) or harassed or by now, (depending on LE) would know more as I would think she would have complained to her fiancé or mother.
I imagine that this individual is "creepy" but maybe flew under the radar as just being "awkward" instead.
If Jessica was getting a head start on wrapping her night (which I would probably do too, especially being a Friday night) she may have started the cash count down process and was interrupted, whether it was by this person she had seen before asking for help OR this perp could have been brazen and had a weapon in hand and forced her out. I still go with the theory that he may have even walked in and complained the pumps weren't working properly or that he needed a phone or something that at first glance, seemed harmless.
I know a lot of people are upset with this particular gas station for not having cameras and I get it, however; having lived in both Ohio and Florida my entire life, I can understand having a false sense of security based on location, rural versus urban, etc. I also don't fault anyone for her working the shift she was on (meaning family) as at her age, the majority of us had jobs that did require later hours. It's all so tragic and sad. It could have happened to any of us. Timing like life sometimes makes no sense.
The other option that makes sense to me is that the perp. could be younger (25-35) and be considered somewhat attractive. Even the sweatshirt color could be a sports team of some sort. I know the picture isn't so hot but the standards of attractiveness varies IMO across the globe. In Ohio, I would probably be considered at least a 7 and in Florida, I am barely a 6 (on the scale I'm making up in my head.) I hope none of this sounds insensitive but just my opinion.. In mid-western America, meth is a very rampant issue and there's a lot of this crime that does seem potentially meth related EXCEPT that money wasn't taken. Although, I think we can all agree that the desired target was JH and not money, free gas or beer.
Someone out there knows this person. He is someone's son, possibly someone's father, and at least someone's neighbor. I would if local, look into camping areas, trailer parks, hotels that operate as weekly rentals, local hospitals for superficial and non life threatening injuries, craigslist for vehicles for sale or anything related to vans (maybe it was a new purchase to the perp,) local watering holes that don't have an upper class patronage, and so on. The scary thing is that this creep could be the upstanding neighbor, the member of your church, the high school gym coach - one never knows. Sorry I'm all over the map - been reading and wanting to chime in but also super busy with life.
Prayers and positive light to all that know and love JH and to all of you here trying to help. Now, I hope this monster is exposed and more importantly, I pray that Jessica is somehow found alive.
