During the time she wasn't with Travis before she killed him she WAS meeting up with other men.
Even had the sense to meet up with one or two guys on the way and one guy after she killed Travis to make out.
We ask ourselves why she would go make out with someone while practically still having blood on her hands and the answer is simple:
Attention. More specifically, sexualized attention.
IMHO
Most interesting HIP2! the sub grouping of the narcissist personality. This I did not know. Great posts to both you and Molly. It is new to me that she spoke of contacting a lawyer must have missed that in trial. I believe Jodi may have kept men on back burners while creating new relationships. There was evidence that she exchanged information with another man on return flight from Travis funeral. She may have had other love interests that never came forward because of the trial. Is a narcistic personality one that is developed or can one be born with NPD?
And a alibi

But again, I would think a narcissist would need a lot of narcissistic supply. Are you saying there is an avoidant type that doesn't? I would think they would fall into great depression. Is that what happens?
That last six weeks or so after Jodi moved away, she would have only had her telephone contacts with TA, maybe like the one we heard on May 10 when they both seemed pretty happy with each other. But, is that enough supply for a narcissist? Why wasn't she wildly dating other men?
Even at their best, the relationship between them was never very deep. Jodi strikes me more as an emotional anorexic, someone who can survive on very little emotional food from another, because that certainly seems to be what she got.
IMO
It's entirely possible that she represented 'narcissistic supply'.

wow, Emmi.
That's an amazing poem!
So glad you like it, Molly. It always gives me a little shiver, when the narrator confesses that the mirror is actually a door, that she wants to be found, released.
2Hip, you remind me a lot--at least on paper--of my teen-age daughter. Though her IQ falls within the normal range, the "profile" you're presenting of yourself is similar to hers. High reading/verbal ability, severe math/higher order learning disability, ADD, Asperger's traits, and quite a bit of trouble regulating her emotions.
I'm curious: are you physically clumsy or awkward?
And I'm sure people on here that deal with autism in their daily lives would appreciate you connecting autistic people with the sociopathic trait of being unable to empathize with others.
Autistic individuals have low cognitive empathy but mid range emotional empathy.
Sociopaths are the opposite.
One last thing...
Do you remember all those female school teacher that skated pedophilia charges bc they were Borderline?
Pedophilia with women often happens in BPD..
I find it strange that Jodi moved in with Darryl, a man with a child. I know it's morbid, but there may be more to that situation than meet the eye.
She met with Darryl on her way to kill Travis. Also the man at the rental car company said there was a man that day with Jodi when she rented the car.
Did they ever find out who that man was?
I would hate to think that Travis saw some pictures that Jodi accidentally uploaded to his computer. Maybe pictures of Darryl Brewers child in a sexualized nature? Maybe she was trying to blame it on Darryl when explaining it to Travis?
Could Travis have found these and threatened to go to the cops?
Whatever it was Travis found, it was enough for Jodi to go steal the gun from her grandparents house days later.
I would interrogate Darryl much closer. Something smells off about that guy. He was going to testify for Jodi, but couldn't out of fear of being targeted.
All a theory imhoo
That's an interesting point. If she is straddling two worlds--the world of the normal and the world of the autistic--you would think she would be happy to be alone, more than not. Yet she was never alone from the time she left home, was she? Didn't she move from one boyfriend to another?
So maybe the man acts as a type of ego armor for her? Another way to make it possible for her to interact with the outside world?
But, except for Daryl, she didn't pick loving and protective men, it seems.
Maybe the emptiness inside, the lack of an integrated personality, is not an issue as long as the external controls are in place. But when this extension of yourself starts rejecting you, it must be tremendously threatening. It must feel like your world is falling apart.
Did she feel that with her family of origin, too?
That May 10th phone call haunts me. How can they sound so much like good friends, like lovers, and three weeks later that horrendous, chaotic crime scene, that really does look like someone just lost their mind? You said a feeling of dying when losing the attachment--maybe she really did feel like her life was threatened.
IMO
Could be something in that. It would give more relevance to her story of Travis being a paedophile. By that I mean that I have been long convinced that Cmja has some truth in her stories but she changes them to suit herself. It would not then be too much of a stretch to say she was the one who had those tendencies but she switched it around to discredit Travis and take the focus from herself.
