THE DEBIT CARD - Whoever put the debit card there knows what happened. They cut it longways so there was no mistaking the name. Pieces were found in same spot the next day. They were planted. Right?? Any other possibilities? Remember, the best guess is that the credit card was cut because you can run over it, hit it with a hammer - whatever and it won't break longways (or anyway) in a hurry.
The reason to cut it that way is that you can cut off the name but keep the swipe tag and / or strip in place. Then you can use the bottom of another similar card and feel free to use it somewhere else. I am not even sure that the secondary pieces weren't there when the first half was found, just harder to see as they were run over and the light might have been bad.
THE JACKET - Whoever has the jacket knows what happened. Right?? I am sure that jacket wasn't a last minute gift to someone on her way out of town. How many people can there be who had the jacket that was found in the young man's house? Either he had it, or somebody planted it.
THE CLOTHES - Whoever put Anjelica's clothes along the road to be found, knows what happened. Right?? There are a million places to throw away some clothes that she wasn't even wearing. Why put them in a place they could be found?
If they were planted, and it seems likely they were, it doesn't mean that that was what she was wearing. WH could have made up that he saw the jacket for any number of reasons.
THE GAS STATION - Which gas station? Why no details?
You have to believe that the cops know the details on this by now. If it was a sure fire Wes wasn't there we likely would have heard that. Probably just no cameras.
PLEASE - somebody, if you can convince me that the man in jail didn't hurt her, and that she might still be alive, I would do good today. It would be a good day. Please, put your sleuthing brains to work. Toss out silly stuff like what Jennifer is doing with her free time or if the guy in jail looks like he is lying. He might be lying, but maybe it's for a different reason?? Are there any other possibilities? PLEASE.
There are plenty of reasons to believe that. Wes (IF he was directly involved) would have wanted AJ to "run away" with him. Based on past history this could have involved kidnapping until she went along with it. Entirely possible that someone else would be involved. He said that he was willing to shoot the suspect, and curiously mentioned that that would be the "end" of his life. He may have told someone that he would commit suicide after he did the deed. It is very possible that the plan was to frame this kid, kill him, then go off into hiding pretending to commit suicide. Then he would be clear to restart under a new identity.
We are dealing with a man that has documented issues, but none of which rose to the level of killing someone. And he has always gotten caught.
Further he might be enough of a pathological liar and selfish enough that all of his "cover up" is to prevent him from getting caught for something completely unrelated.
AJ could very well have taken cash from him, gotten on a bus or train, and be somewhere else where perhaps she was hurt (after the 5:30 am text) and can't call back for some reason.
Hopefully some of that helped. You have put a ton of energy into this and need to keep yourself well enough for yourself, your kids, and AJ. I am very hopeful that AJ is one of those kids who is just stressed out and needed to get away for awhile. She is extremely smart from everything I have read and maybe we can't find her simply because she doesn't want to be found yet.
