Thank you Grace! I replied with your post because it is informative. I thought perhaps the assault could have been to one of his parents? Could possibly explain the assault arrest in 2012, but why it was not pursued and more than likely dropped. Not ruling out him assaulting a girlfriend or anyone really. He looks mean. Poor Jubal! A trusting soul I am sure, and this perp took advantage of his kindness. IMO. :sigh:
I'll just say that the aggravated assault arrest did not involve an assault on an immediate family member.
I think that information may come out sooner rather than later.
Danbury is a relatively small community (population 1,715 in the 2010 census) and people are talking about this arrest.
Energetic journalists in the area should be able to learn quite a bit about this suspect.
Regarding Jubal's head, I will be surprised if it would be recoverable in the event that the suspect might be inclined to bargain any information in that regard.
It's curious to me that information about the decapitation possibly being an effort to conceal or destroy evidence was included in yesterday's press release.
It may simply be due to a perceived need to address that aspect of this crime.
Or it could be an indication that the investigation turned up information (via an interview) that indicates something about the means the suspect may have used to conceal or destroy that evidence.
In looking at Foyt, I couldn't help but notice a number of people known to him who own boats. I also noticed that taking boats into the open waters of the Gulf is not uncommon for folks in the area.
Pure speculation on my part, but the suspect could have asked someone he knew to take him out on a boat (or had access to one otherwise) into the Gulf.
Jubal's father has written that the investigators have high confidence in their case.
At this point, I can't see any incentives for those seeking justice to seek a deal with this suspect.
I do expect irrational thinking and behavior from this suspect. That seems rather obvious in light of the crime, but I believe it will be further demonstrated as he goes through the process.
