I think it's more likely that her friends did not want to talk to the media. It was her friends that arranged the vigil for her 29th birthday according to Kmov/4.

I am so surprised this isn't getting more attention. :-(

Jennifer would have celebrated her 29th birthday on Nov. 20, 2019.

An obituary posted online said she passed away on Nov. 11. Jennifer and Beau got married in September 2015. She worked as a process engineer at DuPont.

‘She enjoyed traveling, playing games with friends and family, and celebrating life. Most importantly, Jennifer loved spending holidays and birthdays with her family. She was a loving daughter, sister, niece, cousin and friend. She will be deeply missed,’ It said on her obituary.

I guess things will go quiet for a bit on this case until BRs next court appearance in January 2020.

At least LE found her so that she can be properly put to rest.

I am surprised they even mentioned the husband

I am surprised they even mentioned the husband

At this point in the investigation of JR’s murder, it’s important that she is presented as the victim that she was— killed by her husband. Omitting him from the obituary could lead to speculation they were estranged. For the rest of his life he will be known as a wife killer.

I recently had this conversation with a retired judge about a murdered wife by her husband on a cruise ship.

MOO

I’d taken a break from WS. I heard about this case via Nancy Grace’s podcast. It breaks my heart. I’m curious what her husband’s reason for murdering Jennifer is going to be. Likely, a lie, but I’m still curious. Prayers for strength and peace to Jennifer’s family and friends.

I am completely technically illiterate when it comes to pasting articles, I just read in the St. Louis Post dispatch that Jenifer was pregnant and beau was having an affair

I’d taken a break from this site for a while. I tend to be a lurker mostly. But sometimes I’m inspired to come back and this case has kept me here again. I check every morning and throughout the day for developments. This latest is so sad. I’m sure none of us are surprised and some even predicted this was the case, but an affair, a pregnancy, and the murder of Jennifer and her unborn baby... some people are truly monsters. My thoughts are with all those that loved Jennifer and even those that loved Beau. I can’t imagine the feeling you would have as a parent knowing your son grew up and killed his wife and unborn baby. So sad all around.

Maddening........ another man that didn't have the balls to just move on even if you look like a jerk for leaving your pregnant wife.

 

[Elgana]

OMG this makes me so mad. I wondered if she may have been pregnant when he murdered her. So he has taken two lives, and for what, an affair? I don't have words. I wonder who the other person involved was. I hope they are completely innocent in all of this.

Also, I see his Facebook has been taken down now, although his old one is still there.

 

[Hippononymous]

What a monster!

I’m also surprised this case isn’t attracting more traffic.
These are stations out of St. Louis County and even they have very few views in relation. It’s really sad. Are we becoming a bit calloused to hearing such evil in the world all the time? Is there so much of it where we can’t even keep up with the very world around us now?:
