I think her eyes just look funny because of the angle and nothing else.

Or she was caught mid-blink.

What does give me pause is when parents of missing children seem to barely able to scrape together three pictures where the child is in focus, is the central focus of the picture, looks happy, and is well kempt and/or uninjured. (And a single school picture doesn't count, IMO, because often in these cases, the only time the child is not neglected is while they are in school...and they take your picture for yearbook regardless if you order any pictures.)

Granted, not everyone is a shutter bug. But when other things regarding the missing child case lean towards probable neglect, I often find there's a dearth of 'good' pictures of the child.

I have no idea if this mom/dad has a ton of fabulous pictures of Jenise. Maybe they do, just not uploaded to Facebook. Just a general comment.
 
WOW just got done reading the thread and getting informed about this case; like many of the other members, I cannot fathom why the family waited so long – and even more disturbing, that the older sibling (I believe the 12 year old? Was there any verification on that from the scanners or other news postings?) was the one who called 911 to report her little sister's absence. When exactly did either of the parents plan on calling LE? Did one of them instruct one of the other children to call 911, or did the child call themselves without the parents' knowledge? I would like to know more details surrounding when and how the family realized Jenise disappeared, what was going on at the house that day and the day before, etc etc. Surely there must be someone, maybe one of the neighborhood children, who saw her that day before she was reported missing.

I agree with other posters: the interview with the dad made me uncomfortable. The way he spoke about Jenise was strange and almost cruel, like he was trying to make the child look bad and/or responsible for what happened. Why say she was a "spoiled brat", that the other children supposedly resented her for being the baby of the family and thereby getting more attention or whatever than the other kids? His body language was off too. And if that e-mail address someone found is indeed his, it only reinforces my bad feelings about him.

<modsnip> Glad the other kids are out and hopefully safe. I agree with some of the other posters too &#8211; I am not 100% convinced that Jenise disappeared during Sunday. This doesn't look like it will end well, though I hope against hope I am wrong...
 
One thing that struck me about the dad's interview were that he said when he woke up and didn't see her he thought he'd already gone out to go play with siblings or friends.

So were the siblings also outside? I don't believe that was the case from what we'd been told, was it?

And if not, obviously curious he'd even think that she might be playing with her siblings if they were in bed or just still in the house.

Plus, wouldn't he have ASKED the siblings about that by the time he did the interview?

I mean, obviously the interview wasn't done until Monday, so at that point about 36 hours later.

Even if they had been outside (again, I don't think that's the case) then wouldn't they have information about who she was last with from the siblings? Like oh she was playing with ____ (whomever) and we were playing by ____ - or something?

So just suggesting that his thought about not having seen her when he woke up b/c she was with siblings and friends was odd.
 
Forgive me if this is stupid to ask, but, I'm asking anyway. Blame it on fibor fog, blame it on lack of sleep last night.. Here goes..


Blended family means ?? He has kids, she has kids, and they have kids?? and NO not asking for any names, just tryign to get an idea of home life.

Police said they don't think abduction, which scares me, cause that means someone close. Family, relative, neighbor, etc. Right? Abduction can be known or unknown perp... and with a child unattended, for hours, police aren't leaning that way. Something has caused them to think otherwise. What was their wording? Missing under suspcious circumstances or something? I don't think she ran away. And if no one abducted her...then...this isn't looking good.

Has anyoen else come forward with the last time they saw her? I did see an earlier report about maybe between 2-4, however, eye witnesses aren't always correct, through no fault of their own. If you see someone frequently and in the same neighborhood, the actual day you saw her could be mistaken but not by intent. Kinda like when you always take meds, and then you can't remember if you took them that day or not.

Growing up, yes as early as 6, I remember being at my friends house in the mornings, and play outside all day. It was a dead end street, in the country, with the post man being the only vehicle we often saw until shift change at the factory, and that's when Dad's were either coming home or going to work. There were elderly people on street, most all Moms were at home, and most families were related to us. That was almost 40 yrs ago. My parents still live in that neighborhood, and I only have two relatives still living there. The road is always busy, even though still a dead end. No way , no how I would allow a child to do as we did then. YES kids were abducted then (not in our area) and kids were molested then (none of us) but, times and situations are different now. Any mention of a family dog? Could she have followed it somewhere? Or even a neighbor's dog? There was always dogs with us as kids.

In Jenise neighborhood, it might still be like when I grew up though. I just don't know at this point. Maybe older siblings and the neighborhood keep on eye on each others kids like they did in my childhood. I've noticed that does happen in close communities still.

Yes I'm rambling, writing as I brainstorm.

When does school start in that area?

So far reports have stated she was last seen at bedtime, 10 PM correct? We don't know if Jenise was in the bed, sleeping, watching a movie or what yet. Correct? Do we know if anyone visited that night? Or anything about that evening into the night?

History of being carefree, friendly, didn't know a stranger, and usually checked in every few hours (though time to a 6 yr old is often not understood. They get busy playing and forget. I've known kids that age to get so busy playing, they don't want to stop to go potty.)

**forgive typos as well...yes I see many of them**


And if I understood correctly, both parents were home as well as the two kids that CPS removed, correct? No mention of anyone else being there? Was Jenise afraid of the dark? What time was sun light out that next morning?
 
What does give me pause is when parents of missing children seem to barely able to scrape together three pictures where the child is in focus, is the central focus of the picture, looks happy, and is well kempt and/or uninjured. (And a single school picture doesn't count, IMO, because often in these cases, the only time the child is not neglected is while they are in school...and they take your picture for yearbook regardless if you order any pictures.)

Granted, not everyone is a shutter bug. But when other things regarding the missing child case lean towards probable neglect, I often find there's a dearth of 'good' pictures of the child.
I have never thought about this before but it seems so true. Indicative of general lack of interest/involvement with kids some times. (A broad generalization I know, but often seems the case.)
 
I guess it's possible the two other children may have been removed from the home because LE knew the parents would be with them for a while. (not that there weren't other reasons to remove them).

I have to leave the house in a minute. But didn't LE make a statement that the kids were removed due to the family's past history, or something like that?

Maybe a kind poster can re-post the link to that statement?
 
The other thing that struck me odd in the interview was about the times.

Completely ignoring his almost puzzlement of the contents of the flier - which, even if he's a little, well, whatever, wouldn't he still have seen one by that point? You'd think he'd have at least seen it since how would someone totally unrelated really have made one and not checked with family to be sure it was correct or something?

Anyway, when he looked at the flier and the reporter questioned the nearly 24 hours (since it was like 10 pm when she was last seen and 9 something when reported) most commented on the fact that a neighbor had supposedly also called.

But then he also said that the time on the flier wasn't right he didn't think. That it wasn't more like 9 or 10 when the family called and reported her missing, but that it was actually more like an hour before that, closer to 8.

Is it really any less peculiar to have reported her missing between 22-23 hours after than 23-24? I can't see how that's the case.

I mean, time is of the essence, but given they'd not reported her missing until almost 24 hours later, is 1 hour earlier that big of a help at that point? In terms of even finding that notable enough to be most of his only response to the times?

Plus, even if a neighbor HAD reported her missing earlier, don't you think as a parent you'd want to also do that? I mean, maybe let them call initially, but...?

And obviously there's nothing that backs up his assertion that someone else reported her missing earlier.

But even if he thought they had (and they just didn't - again, I don't think that's the case) don't you think that if the police didn't respond shortly after the neighbor called that you'd want to immediately follow up with your own call so that officers would come?

Say they had called it in earlier, would you not think, hmmm...no police. Maybe I should call again?

Nothing about someone else possibly calling makes a bit of sense to me, particularly in light of the fact that they'd have to have realized that LE still hadn't come, and so wouldn't you call again?
 
Oh, fellow sleuthers, since NO POI, perp, etc has been named by MSM or the police, please don't post fb pages or names not in the media. Sleuth but hold onto that information until and if a perp is named, and then you can release what you've found.
 
IMO, admitting that their 6yo was missing for 24 hours before they bought a clue should be proof enough that children aren't safe in their care.

Did WA pass Caylee's Law where parents can be charged if they didn't report a child missing within so many hours?
 
@2Hope4 (didn't want to quote long post and have trouble snipping on phone)

All 6 children are Denise's but I'm not certain how many belong to Jim. The 2 adult daughters have a different father for sure but I don't know about the 4 minors.
 
I wonder what exactly gave police 'probable cause' to remove the kids from the home. (Keeping in mind that Cherish Perrywinkle's mother handed her baby daughter off to a stranger to go to a fitting room, twice, and then out of site to a McDonald's....and she kept her other two kids--who were also at risk the night Cherish was raped and murdered--for WEEKS!)

Ideas-

Cadaver dog indicated in the home?

Blood evidence found in home?

Current cleanliness/lack of adequate food in the home/home in dangerous disrepair? (I know some say pics look like house clean, kids well fed....Tammy Moorer could make he home look well stocked and immaculate so long as she was going to upload pics to the Disney site.)

Private interviews with two children enlightening?

Cursory examination of children enlightening?

About a week or so ago there was a well publicized case of a mother being arrested for letting her 7 yr old , IIRC, walk to the park alone in broad daylight. Arrested ! Now I'm sure many of us will have opinions on it , whether or not it was negligent, careless, etc., but criminal? So if the laws are shifting to such that a child cannot walk to the neighborhood park alone without it being a crime, then surely having your 6 yr old MIA for an entire day with no clue where she is, cannot be far behind? Just food for thought.
 
Would CPS have placed the children with their sister if there was any concern that the parents were involved?
 
I'm not buying that she went to bed at 10pm Saturday and woke up early Sunday. That could be true, but I'm thinking she's been missing since Saturday, not Sunday.

Here , too. What was the family doing on Saturday all day and up until bedtime. Who put her to bed? Did they have company over ? A party ? Been to a party ? Might mom and dad have been gone and the older sibs watching her and no one really knows what time she went to bed? ie: go to bed sis, i'm playing call of duty, love u , etc. but no one witnessed her going to sleep ? Ugh, too many questions.
Where are you honey ?
 
Can I say what father does for a living? Now I am unsure what I can post....:(
 
Guys you can't sleuth the family, no one has been named a suspect or person of interest.

Thank you!
 
What a small world. This is the THIRD recent case I've followed that when I go to a main person involved's facebook page and click on friends, I get mutual friends pop up. Amazing web of connectedness in this world! And I'm not one of those people who has tons of facebook friends - I don't even have 200 friends!
 
The pic of her and the mom and the silly eyes was really a cute pic. The dad in the back ground too. And uh 6 year olds make messes especially if the have red fruit. My daughter who is 6 ate cherries and oh my, the next time I made her remove her shirt first before she ate any. I have not watch any videos but going through fb pages have made me cry, in a happy sad way. I don't think the parents are involved. I wonder if there was some mistakes of communication during the day. Jenise is so cute. Do we know her birthday?

I had that happen a few times but I finally realized that I tended to follow the same cases as some of the WS posters that I'm friends with and they were friending the main players hoping too see something.
 
Had to go digging for this one.. Unrelated but on topic !

http://www.cnycentral.com/news/story.aspx?id=978542

''Gordon has proposed a new law that would allow for a felony charge if parents wait more than an hour to report a child 4 years-old or younger missing. Gordon's proposed "Levon's Law" says parents of a child between 5 and 8 need to notify police within 3 hours if they believe their child is missing. For older, presumably more independent children between 9 and 15 years old, parent would have to call police if their child was missing for 12 hours. Gordon says the law would give police and prosecutors another tool and potentially carry more weight than a simple endangering the welfare of a child misdemeanor charge.''''

I support this bill with every ounce and let me tell you , I got a lot of them ;)

ETA Why ? Because there is really not a good, pure, innocent, harmless reason to NOT report a child that's missing immediately . That is why !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
