I don't think this is gang related. I think the situation escalated because a vindictive, manipulative, irrational female who probably has few, if any, girl friends felt Jessica "disrespected" her. Maybe Jessica ignored her phone calls. Maybe nutso female felt Jessica smiled at her man too much or not enough and was a snob slumming around to smoke pot and to act all street as the mood hit. Maybe Jessia was tired of loaning nutso female clothes, her car or being her taxi service and nutso female eventually trash-talked Jessica enough to some soft brained guy who felt he had something to prove or lose so he did what he had to do to pacify nutso female.
It's way past my bed time.
Did Jessica ever hang around with the girls that talked about her in interviews?
JMO Her mother said that she really was not hanging out with anyone, to her knowledge, after she had returned from the Leah's hiatus. If it is true that JC was on a new life path, she may have been slowly cultivating new friends...from her new job. Her mom said that she usually was at work, home, or across the street, either at a neighbors house, or her grandmothers. She had probably known all of the people we have seen interviewed, but was not necessarily best buddies with any of them. Lynnsey Fowler remembered her from years ago overnights with Lynnsey's half-or step sister, Amber. And Lynnsey , maybe longer ago, but also recently saw her often at "Sonic", as that is where she said she works. She called JC "one of my Sonic babies". If anyone knew about JC's RECENT activities and/or thoughts and new life plan, it would be people who she had been talking to RECENTLY. Grandma, mom, neighbor and new co-workers. I hope LE has interviewed all of those people. JMO
