i did read all previous posts but couldn't see anything specifically saying that the neighbour (the one who moved away and sold house at 50% loss) was proven innocent. 'unlikely' isn't proof that he had nothing to do with JJ's disappearance.The neighbour who saw JJ bring in the trash cans is still living across the street, and is a kindly veteran who was cooperative with LE. He attended the last memoriam get-together for Jason at a local park, and was interviewed on camera in a heart warming conversation. As far as other neighbours, the ones with criminal records, especially SA ones, were all interviewed but being it was ten days after JJ went missing, I can see why nothing came of it. As far as the neighbour who had sold up, it has been explained in past posts as unlikely anything to do with JJs disappearance. Perhaps WSer MatthewTyler can refresh our memories as to the info about that, as he has followed this case closely for longer than many here. Or read all the previous posts.
No the neighbour who moved was not proven innocent by LE. Several posters here who are longtimers may be able to fill you in on the neighbour who moved. I forget all the info myself. As for kindly veteran or whatever, yes I totally agree with you that that type of person can be guilty of a crime! As for the witness neighbour across the street, I dont recall the details, only that there is positive feedback about him. Help me here, WSer Matthew Tyler or the other former good neighbour of JJs who posts here.i did read all previous posts but couldn't see anything specifically saying that the neighbour (the one who moved away and sold house at 50% loss) was proven innocent.

I think its also very important that just because someone is a 'kindly veteran' or 'cooperative' we dont exclude them. of course, maybe it really isn't them, but many if not most killers appear nice and friendly and many even cooperate with police (this isn't me saying that this specific neighbour had anything to do with it of course, but just saying, a nice smile doesnt get you off the hook).
Thanks studebkr I knew you were the other neighbour that lived behind the Jolkowskis, just didnt recall proper spelling of your name Im also trying to recall if we knew which exact route JJ used to take to school, and up which streets he wouldve most likely taken on the day he went missing. A map showing it would be good to bring forward by someone as things get left behind in thread.Neighbour discussion on this thread, courtesy of studebkr

Even implying that the co-worker (whom JJ was going to meet in the H.S. parking lot) was involved with his disappearance is ludicrous. IIRC his car was unexpectedly in the shop so he couldn't easily get to work. And, she was asked by her management/boss to go pick up JJ so he could come in and...www.websleuths.com
2021'There's no leads, nobody saw anything': 20 years since Jason Jolkowski was last seen
On June 13, 2001, Jason Jolkowski was last seen walking to meet up with a coworker to get a ride to work.www.ketv.com
"So he was last seen taking the trash cans into his house and a neighbor saw him do that," said Say. "His brother also looked out the window and saw him walking in the direction toward Benson. And he was never seen from or heard from again."
Chester Link said he's that neighbor who saw Jolkowski walking toward the high school. He believes he could be one of the last people to see him that day.''
that's what I was hoping to see, a map of the exact route that JJ took. that would be a massive helpThanks studebkr I knew you were the other neighbour that lived behind the Jolkowskis, just didnt recall proper spelling of your name Im also trying to recall if we knew which exact route JJ used to take to school, and up which streets he wouldve most likely taken on the day he went missing.

Thank you for making the map!it's strange to me that the co-worker didn't drive the 2 minute extra to pick jason up from his house...i dont fully understand the logic there, but regardless, that's what happened so ill roll with it
Thank you. His mother explained this years ago when she used to post here. I used to wonder the same thing.Thank you for making the map!
The reason why his co worker didn't drive to his house is simply that she didn't know where he lived and Jason had a problem with directional awareness...he simply couldn't explain to her where he lived in a way she would have understood. So it was just easier to meet her at the school they had both attended and both knew.
thanks for posting, very useful for a foreigner like me to see the layout/landscape. im quite interested to see if theres any way i can help out with this case. in the meantime, ill re-read every post/watch videos on youtube and bring myself up to speed. this must be solvable despite the passage of timeI posted this back in the #3 forum, but this is the way I would walk to Benson HS. I talked with my son and he agreed.
Benson HS has a North & South entrance. The teachers use the South, the students the North, but I’m not sure where they agreed to meet.
p.s.It seems that the first two cases listed may be related, same area but different years that bones were found.By the way, on Namus there are only five UIDs listed for Nebraska. Three of them were found after year 2000.
Thi first one I listed has some location photos that I hadnt seen before. All three locations are about two hours or less in driving time from Omaha, NE.

Goodness, why havent I seen the very detailed info. re this second UID in Nebraska before on Namus! Maybe it was added since I last checked there! (click on images and documents)

And the third UID listed is the Ashland one:

i read there's a radio recording floating around the web of one of Jason's radio shows - anyone have a link to a copy of it? can't find it on youtube, nor in podcasts i've listened to. surely someone must have a copy of the clip?
It's in the video Mrs. Jolkowski made that MatthewTyler presented right above.I noticed that too, @Gilderoy Lockhart Jr, but figured it was a mistake/etc.
Do you have a link? That would certainly put a different light on things if he was ‘waiting (in front of the house) for a ride”, rather than walking some distance to meet up with someone.
