Hi,
I'm new to this forum, so please bear with me as I get acquainted with things.
I'm from the UK. though I'm originally from PA and lived in ME and Cape Cod, MA. I've been following Jessica's case since I accidentally stumbled upon it shortly after it happened. I check in on developments every day in the hope that she's come home to her little boy.
I'm writing in reply to an earlier thread about the number of look-alike blond girls who have gone missing in the month of April. Their appearances are striking, so this in itself caught my attention, and disturbingly so.
Then I looked at the dates of their disappearances:
Six petite blonde look-a-likes gone missing in the month of April:
1). Jessica Heeringa went missing Friday April 26th 2013.
2). Heather Hodges went missing Monday April 9th 2012.
3). Kelli Bordeaux went missing Saturday April 14th 2012.
4). Holly Bobo went missing Wednesday April 13th 2011.
5). Brittanee Drexel went missing Saturday April 25th 2009.
6). Misty Gwinner went missing Tuesday April 5th 2005.
Is it just me, or if you rearrange the dates in chronological order, there is a pattern:
April 5/9
April 13/14
April 25/26
Could there be something significant with the pattern of dates for this unsub? Is there some sort of anniversary? Are there any other young women of similar descriptions who have gone missing from other areas in these same time frames?
Maybe I'm way off in left field, but it just struck me very suddenly, like those dates just popped off the page.
Just a note too: I also worked at a convenience store when I was in college (Turkey Hill). It was pre-gas station days and when the store was only open until 11pm. There would always be two of us working together, yet it still would get a bit creepy at times, and this was a store that was located on a corner of a well-lit corner of major street. The dumpster was still situated in a darkened area nearly behind the store, as was its secondary door. And the possibly of getting a cut due to box cutters, paper cuts, or small cuts from the meat slicer were always regular occurrences.
Thanks for letting me share. I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Many thanks,
Lee Ann
