What I find interesting is he states he had a "mental breakdown". Makes me wonder if he had done something he thought might be discovered, and had a ready made excuse. See I told you I had a mental breakdown ...
Not thinking murder necessarily, more along the lines of a sexual assault.
That's the first thing that came to my mind," mental breakdown" really?
What a cover up just in case. Was his whole life a cover up? Did he really believe in his faith? Did he really get married for love or was that a cover too?
IMO this guy has had a dark side for a long time but led the pretense of a life to facilitate it. His poor wife, they were together for a long time, but I believe she could have been fooled all this time. The pics of their wedding were fairy tale. Sad for her
I have read somewhere (maybe Gavin DeBecker) that EMT, like "rent a cop" security and some other jobs, can sometimes attract men with an unhealthy need to control other people or dominate the vulnerable. NOT casting aspersions on all EMTs, security, etc, just that when he is profiling he finds it to be a significant pattern.
This is interesting:

Reports suggest Holt took friend to look at home he and wife were looking to rent in 2011. Wife later told police she knew nothing about it

This made my heart sink, as there are a lot of transient folks and "street kids" who hang out near there, including young women. But the NWCN said "a park in Washington" which could be any number of other places. So now I am not sure which one it is?
I live iin GA. Here for the fire/emergency dept, in order to get hired they have to pass a psych eval(s) AND a polygraph!
I was thinking WTF? why?
NOW I know! ~ sounds like it may be true..
moo
Successful candidates must pass the written exam, an in-depth background check, physical abilities test, polygraph and psychological exams, medical exam, drug screen and oral interview.

Is friend code-speak for "a woman"? Yikes at the very thought!!
wait a minute, how did his employer release a statement (let me see if I can find the previous post) if he actually was an EMT? I think that information may not be correct about the EMT ...
First time poster here, been following this case since last Tuesday when Whitney went missing. Like others, not sure why it has captivated me so much. I feel so badly for her loved ones, friends, coworkers and her spiritual community.
Just wanted to add that I too first read that in 2011 JH told police he had gone to a park in Washington, near where he grew up. Seemed a bit weird, since I remembered the neighbor of his parents saying JH had grown up next door. Here is an account of part of the neighbor's interview with KATU:
"Their neighbor, Vincent Wilson, said hes known Holt since he was seven years old. Wilson said he noticed Holt visiting his parents a week ago. Something snapped or something, Wilson said. "If its true, its like something that nobody expects of anybody." Holt grew up in East Portland and attended school in the Parkrose School District. He was married in 2010, KATU News learned. His wifes Facebook page was taken down shortly after Holts arrest."
Seems like another lie JH told to police to keep from getting caught, back in 2011. I bet he'd spotted someone in the parking lot of Best Buy and couldn't control himself.
When it came out the other day that Whitney had been sexually abused, my first thought was that this guy has done this before and has been on a ramp for a long time towards what happened last Tuesday morning. I would expect more unusual "time away" accounts will surface, as well as the possibility of date rape type events. We also don't know what type of inappropriate behavior he might have indulged in as an EMT, with vulnerable women at his disposal.
One more thing about the probable cause affadavit that I noticed, was that the DNA found on the steering wheel was "swabbed". That would imply something other than a fingerprint, in my experience. Perhaps JH cleaned himself up after his disgusting act and transferred some of his ejaculate from his hand to the steering wheel.
I do agree that the cat/plant sitting and the battery jump,as well as moving to the Heichels' apartment complex five months earlier was an attempt to insinuate himself into Whitney's life.
I also wonder if JH didn't take his motorcycle down to Walmart or somewhere else nearby earlier in the morning. By the map it's about three miles from there to Whitney's apartment complex, so it would take about 45 minutes for him to walk, or less if he caught the bus on that line, as others have suggested. If he'd had his bike after he dumped her car, he wouldn't be out in public as long and drawing attention to any blood on his clothing while he made his way home.
So much about this case is just so sad. But hopefully some good will come out of this, perhaps other missing women/girls will finally be identified. At least one less perv is on the streets.
Also I was thinking a bit ago "how on earth could anyone <perform> with another person who is terrified and crying and scared for her life"????
The fact that he was able to (assuming since there hasn't been any report about fluids I guess) perform under these conditions just solidifies in my mind that this wasn't a "approach for love interest gone bad" and a result of rejection, and makes me fear for the worst for his past "mental breakdowns". IMO if he could (excuse my crass language) get off during this whole thing, IMO he has done it before. Or that his wife was a victim of his fetishes.
PURELY SPECULATION and just a ramble of my thoughts over dishes
