It's been a long time since I concerned myself with what the numbers on the bottom of the checks mean, so help me out because the first numbers appear to be the same. The second set are different. Correct?
ETA--I looked it up. The first number that's the same is the routing number. This routing number indicates that the bank its drawn upon is either in California or Nevada. The second number is the account number, which appear different on the two checks in question.
There is no routing number to signify AZ. I don't know any way to figure out if Travis actually banked at WAMU or if both these checks belonged to Jodi. It does kind of look like it's a checkbook beneath her check, though. what do you think?
I find it very odd that he'd put her check in that drawer on top of his other checks, personally. It is normal to put a check in a drawer and not in your wallet, so you can go cash it? I guess it might have been convenient to do that if she gave it to him while they were in the office, but I don't think she gave it to him. I think she planted it with an earlier date on it to make it appear as if she'd mailed it back on the 25th so that it would appear that she was paying her debt to Travis and not scamming him. She could have given it to him with the same motive, but for some reason, I find the placing of it in the drawer in plain sight kind of odd.
It does look like there are bunch of blank checkbooks and maybe a check register (probably Travis's) and on top of them, there are two loose checks. But with glare, it is hard to tell. One loose check is from Jodi $200, acct #4412368006. The other has the same style of check, the same routing #, different acct #484x8xxxxx.
Yes it is unusual for a person to place checks paid to you in your own checkbook box. Whether Jodi gave it to him in person on June 4, or planted it after murdering him, I agree that she really wanted LE to find that check with May 25 date on it. After the murder, she sent Travis an email (or texted) asking if he cashed the check. And during interrogation, she asked again if Travis cashed the check (I think more than once). She thought that check was going to save her from something incriminating her and wanted to make sure LE had noticed that check. She makes me sick.
