I have a problem with the "search" that was conducted of the house. When I filed a missing persons report on my brother the first time he left, the detective came to my house, asked if he could look around (of course) and that included opening up every attic/crawlspace opening in closets and my laundry room. This obviously wasn't done here.
It wouldn't have helped her by the time they were searching, but it would have given her family and friends the answer sooner.
If I wasn't working tonight, I'd go to the vigil. I'll be thinking about her.
I don't recall either investigating PD (Troy or Hazel Park) having an official search warrant. I kept reading about the family being "cooperative" which probably means that they allowed a cursory search of the house. Since no evidence of Jessica was found during these searches, I think LE would have needed probable cause and a court-issued search warrant to probe the home more deeply. Obviously, Jordan knew where the body was from the start, but it seems that other family members were unaware of Jessica's remains hidden in the attic that was accessed from Jordan's bedroom.
I'm unable to attend the vigil but will keep Jessica and her family in my thoughts and prayers this evening. :rose:
WDIV's Jason Colthorp interviewed Jordan's farther that will air on the 5:00 newscast. I'll be tuned in.
