I wonder when and if Naomi (DJ's wife) will be arrested. Apparently Meg went to wherever she was killed because Naomi told her there was a job opportunity. Wow.

Sharpton's mother told NewsChannel 5 that Jones has ties to Megan Sharpton through his wife. She said her daughter and Naomi Jones carpooled from Tullahoma to nursing school in Murfreesboro.

Yep --- it reminds me of so many cases where prison guards fall from inmates (naive/stupid, much?) and then help them out to either escape, or carry on being criminals once they are release. Some women's self-esteem is just that rotten.

Heather Sullivan - Centerville/Franklin County, TN, was employed at a transportation company, had went to her car at 5:30 cst to retrieve items from her car when the abduction attempt occurred. As was Holly Bobo's home, Heather's home was very private/secluded/rural/forested...

I think you are really on to something Foxfire! That all three had some tie into nursing schools, along with their proximity to each other has got to be more than a coincidence!

Unbelievable! :banghead:

BLECH! :sick::sick::sick:

He doesn't look good there but he's actually not a bad looking guy so I can see how a woman can get a false sense of security being around him. He has a wife and 5 kids! Not your typical monster. The ones you don't expect are the most frightening because they look so normal. The "Ted Bundy" types.

Here's a photo.
