It's interesting that if you go to Google street view for the rental house, the picture is dated 8/11 and clearly shows the "for rent" sign.
For those checking Google street views (of crime scene locales or rental house), keep in mind those are not usually current. Satellite photos happen maybe once/year. (I discovered this when checking out our own address, with different property modifications made over the past 10 years (pool, outbuildings, etc.) showing up about 8-12 months after the fact.)
This is very possible. And would make sense why people are questioning the photos and also his marriage...
I have 2 uncles that suffer(ed) from Schizophrenia. Both started showing signs and were diagnosed in their mid 20's. Prior to that age they had been seemingly normal and no different than their other brothers who do not suffer from the disease.
One was married with kids when he started exhibiting symptoms and strange behavior. He would often go missing for days.
The other was in a long time relationship with a girlfriend and slowly started exhibiting weird behavior.
Prior to their diagnosis in their mid 20's neither partner noticed anything too out of the ordinary and were in committed relationships with them.
And to attest to the photos - I have some when I was very young with one f my uncles when he was in his early 20's and prior to weird behavior. You would never think anything was wrong. Now to look at photos he definitely looks troubled and you can see it in his eyes.
Very possible (but in NO WAY sticking up for JH) that he recently started exhibiting the signs of mental illness as a lot of young men see schizophrenia start in their 20's. Just my personal opinion based on family situations....
If he is guilty, then to me this situation seems most to match the rest of the clues left with this crime. The sloppy, disorganized thinking concerning leaving such obvious clues could only be explained by serious mental lapses, imo. The perpetration of this crime (to me, from looking at the clues) doesn't seem to be the way a hardened, methodically careful killer would have done it. *I think it's also sad that another poster senses a need (as did I) to apologize for possibly appearing to 'stick up' for the accused just because she's honestly considering this as a possible reality rather than just 'an excuse.' Whatever it was that brought on this horrific crime, it doesn't change the fact that it's a tragedy that we live in a world where humans can go so wrong that this kind of thing can ever happen.
FWIW, I think some of the speculation in this thread about the rental house and old police report of a previous "breakdown" and whether or not he was even killing/covering-up the year prior (yada, yada) is off track in a thread about Whitney's case. It encourages a discussion about what anyone on here can possibly imagine the accused 'could do' (and y'all have some great imaginations), rather than examining the facts/evidence of the case for which this thread is named. So, to me at least, it's distracting...and I confess, a little uncomfortable to read. (I feel like I'm sitting at my mother-in-law's house listening to her gossip about the neighbors. *sigh* Yeah, I know that's my issue, not yours. And I am well aware that that is not a popular position to take on here, but again, so be it. 'Nuff said.)
Some other questions I don't remember seeing an answer to, though they might have been discussed all ready:
•Were there any surveillance videos at Walmart that were able to film the Ford Explorer being parked in the lot?
•Has anyone determined which Heichel vehicle was used to jump start Holt's motorcycle?
but...
