reedus, you mind reader, you..
This is exactly where I was beginning to look, before my back blew out and made it hard to concentrate and sit at the puter for extended periods (ie, doing research is hard!).
I actually was in error when I said Barb's kids went to Weaver, thanks to some ambiguous wording in the reports -- not sure about her younger son? (shudder, he was 11 or 12 IIRC, well within JMK's favourite age range..) and as far as i can tell, her older (14 yo?) twins went to school with Damien & co.
In any case, there's every chance her younger son was a point of contact, they didn't live far from there. Barb's address is actually given for the Martins in one doc, but I tend to think that's an error.
JMK was recorded as recommending a park across the way from where worked as being a good place to find kids (so clearly he was looking..)... I had a looksee on googlemaps, and there is a park not far from the Flash Market site now, dunno about back then, and it's not really across the street. Dunno about his other job at WB Davis Electric Supply, it's not there any more so if anyone can find an address/site for that I'd be grateful.
The times are very suss, there....
But yeah, as his gf lived around the corner from the victims and he worked so nearby in the afternoons, I can see the chance he made contact at some point - he seems pretty familiar with the area of the crime scene. And note how he gets all braggy to the cops over info regarding grooming and how easy it can be, and how he'd do it -- if it was him.
I actually think he was spotted after the murders, sitting in his car near the yellow tape, and that's why he goes out of his way to say why he was there... and to insist he -never- set foot in the woods themselves... :waitasec:
