You just got me thinkng...do you think Travis threated to tell RYAN BURNS about her stalking ways???? Didn't Travis and Ryan know each other? And didn't Travis know she was talking to Ryan B?
I know many on here think Ryan B was just an alibi, but I have had this nagging feeling that JA thought he was the (next) ONE. Something about the way she talked about him in the interrogation tapes -- example, she said she had researched Salt Lake City, and it seemed lke a wonderful place with many museums, many hiking trails, etc.. Sounded to me like she was planning to move there!! And in the text messages with him, she seemed VERY interested in him and willing to please him. I think she had put all her hopes into Ryan B. by the time of that May 26th text message. Perhaps Travis was threatening to do something that JA knew would derail this future relationship with RYan????
I honestly think this is the reason for her attack on Travis. Not only had he dashed her dreams of a life with him, but he was also threatening to damage her NEW HOPE and new dream of life with Ryan. I saw a pic of him from before, he was really handsome.
IMO, there was more to the attack then just that she couldn't have him, so no one could. By that point, she had TOTALLY de-valued him. She hated him thoroughly as she made her road trip down from Yrecka. It wouldn't matter to her if someone else had him, b/c she viewed him as disposable by that point. I really, really don't think that was the reason for her killing.
Her saying "i had to move on" in his interrogation tapes - that was her saying Travis wouldn'd LET me move on with Ryan. She felt his would threaten any future relationships she had. That's why she hated him so much.
Very good points. One of the greatest lies that CMJA has NOT been held accountable for is that Jodi "loved" Travis Alexander, wonderful inside and out. No.
The other day I was watching one of the Snapped Episodes or maybe it was Mystery Detectives--anyway, in part of the trial sequence the medical examiner gave the information that the injury penetrated (listed all the layers) to a depth of 3-1/2"-- same as the fatal chest wound suffered by TA.
THEN the prosecution gets up and shows the physics of the blow and how she would have to have him immobile plus the amount of armswing that would be required to give the blow sufficient force to kill a man his size (through that much fat/muscle). There had to be no backward motion on his part, he had to be standing up against a wall or on the floor, and it was a roundhouse stab.
This has always been a problem for me in the scenarios where she stabs him as he is crouched in a protective position in the shower.
My point here is not to launch into a sequence of events discussion but to think instead about the hatred that was inside Jodi Arias that she was able to summon AFTER a round of photo taking of his wonderful physique??????? It's easy to picture that much anger if you are in a big fight breaking up and there is money and children at stake.....
But as the OP here points out, what is sufficiently at stake for her to rush to Arizona before he could go to Cancun and silence him forever?
I do not buy the "if she couldn't have him she didn't want anyone to have him." SHe is a SOCIOPATH people-- she doesn't love people, she owns them. When you love people, you do things that benefit THEM and not necessarily you. When Jodi did something for Travis, it was manipulative. "Here honey, I baked you cookies (because I am in your house uninvited)."
If a sociopath gives something, they expect something back. If they get something, they don't expect to give something.
I believe the failure to pay for the car was a big issue between them after they split up. He clearly expected her to pay for the car she ruined. She fully expected NOT to pay for it because ...he got sex for free for so long? That would explain him calling her a *advertiser censored*, wouldn't it?
Raise your arm in a stabbing motion 28 times. Imagine that much anger having been suppressed in a murder plan. The energy it takes to keep a murderous rage boiling is substantial... and why leave a check on the desk after she killed him?
I think they quarreled about the money she owed him and she used giving him a check as a pretext for the visit. After weaseling herself in, she was there to gather photographs and make recordings to use for blackmail to keep him from preventing her from attaching herself to Ryan Burns (or someone else single/rich/Mormon in Prepaid Legal) Dr. Samuels commented that she seemed to be circulating among the available young successful men in PPL.
Both Mormonism and PPL had RULES which had to be met before the rewards were given. There were quotas to meet, behavior to avoid, time to put in before a Temple Recommend would be issued or enough work done to earn $100K. Jodi Arias liked the kind of job where her success was a matter of opinion--like photography. She left a promotion to a wedding planner job because that's hard work-- and you can't pretend to be successful. Those brides will eat you alive and you will never work again if you f up even one wedding.
CMJA liked road trips because on the road she is judged by her appearance--her expensive sun glasses and fancy clothes and Mercedes or Prius. Having the appearance of success made her feel powerful and successful without having to do any work.
Now she had a successor for Travis lined up and he had the gall to threaten to ruin her opportunity to flea hop at PPL. When he told the PPL crowd at Cancun that Jodi expected to be paid for sex, or that she had diverted his commisions to herself by hacking his PPL records, she would have to start from scratch.
Casa Verde in Yreka, working as a waitress. Living in her grandmother's guest room. Travis Alexander was threatening to make her stay low class Yreka. That's why he had to die...she had no plan B because Mormonism plus PPL= tons of rich handsome naive men who are inexperienced sexually.
Where could she find that bonanza elsewhere?
Too bad someone just didn't point her to NuSkin.
