Found Deceased WA - Jenise Wright, 6, Bremerton, 2 Aug 2014 - #1 *Arrest*

[modesty blaise]

I don't know if it's a stranger. I think there may be a monster inside that trailer court and everyone knows them and thinks they're a regular person and after the fact will begin to remember lots of red flags that they dismissed as nothing but when you pile everyone's stories up together, it will paint a picture.
And I want to be wrong, very wrong.

i'm almost certain you will be right i also think there's a possibility she's still alive hopefully LE is giving those homes a good once over looking for any and all hiding places.

Sorry if I missed it, but here's the link to the Facebook page that's been set up for Jenise.

Not a ton of activity there yet.

IIRC there is a 16 yr. old (who was away when this happened)

BBM. Am I sleuthing a minor - which I know is a no no - if I just ask when the 16 yr old left the home? Sorry Mods, if so. Trying to be good!

 

[Bravo]

It was in MSM that the 16 year old was visiting relatives? IIRC. For the weekend. That's all that was said.

Idk ... Hearing about his history has made me look at him differently. He's a monster and any woman that marries a monster is no better but ... I think he may be trying to hard to hide his emotions. I wonder if he isn't afraid to express his love for Jenise out of fear that it will be read as something more. If you pretend you didn't really notice her or even much like her then you can't be accused of being overly invested in her, ya know? Defending him makes me feel dirty but I'm afraid we are way off base this time and the truth is going to be harder to accept.

I'm going to play devil's advocate for a second here, what if:

-he wasn't really guilty of molestation and it was a complaint lodged against him by a disgruntled close relative? We know those charges were dropped, and molestation charges are rarely- if ever- reduced to "assault". Unless there is more that's been released that I'm unaware of?

-he is in shock, and not just apparently disinterested? I honestly do not see "monster" in the latest video of JW (father).

My heart is aching for this little girl. Bare minimum, some one did something to her and her parents are criminally negligent IMO.

I'm not going to question the previous charge because as a victim nothing compounds the pain like having people think you lied but ...

What if the anger and guilt was real but the motivation wasn't as we assumed. You're an adult with this on your record and your child wanders off so you delay reporting hoping that she will just pop back up and your secret won't be flying around the internet. Only she doesn't come home and the call had to be made. Now the police and the media are at your door and everyone thinks you're guilty because why else would you wait? You are in denial and think the spoiled, independent, social butterfly is probably still off playing with friends while you're about to get ripped apart, lose your other kids and be removed from your home so the crime scene crew can come in. Oblivious to everything but what is going to happen to you and angry that your own child brought this down on you...

Yeah, like it's a six-year old's fault. :/

Bumping Hollye's map

Hollye, Thanks so much for the wonderful map. It really does help put things into perspective.

I can't stop refreshing the page.

Where are you Jenise???

 

[matou]

Have her parents verified that her jeans, flipflops and pink shirt are missing from her home?

Ah, I see what you're saying now.

To be clear, I personally, at this point, don't feel he disappeared his own daughter. I just think he's criminally negligent regarding his children, and what we're seeing is similar to what you described. Denial, anger, resentment. Odd (to me!) primary emotions for the parent of a missing child.

I do feel for the older sibs caring for the younger siblings. It is a big job at a very scary, uncertain time. That being said, the best thing they can do is to turn off the tv and stay off the internet. Keep in touch with police and loved ones. They don't need to spend any energy worrying about what faceless strangers are saying about the Wright's style of parenting. It's not productive or healthy for them, and quite frankly, especially if they have an expectation of being a possible long term care option for the younger two (fingers crossed...3) if need be, they need to concede that what the parents were doing IS neglect. Don't defend it. If they truly find it defensible, a judge may decide that foster care is a better choice.

Not a peep from them for over 24 hours. I hope the detectives have talked with the children in the neighborhood about where J was on Sunday, I think they would know better than the parents. jmo

 

[vasportsmom]

Yeah, like it's a six-year old's fault. :/

I think that is exactly what he thinks. If she hadn't went out to play, despite being raised to do just that, then none of this would have happened. It is Cherish going with the stranger, that her mom told her to go with, all over again. I will always believe that Rayne has Cherish's blood on her hands and I feel the same about these two. But not for their poor parenting practices Jenise would be safe right now.

Or the siblings....especially the 8 year old. They're so close in age; I would think they might at least occasionally see each other and play with each other during the day.

Body language says oh so much..

The answer, in my opinion, is located in that trailer park. I'm currently on the fence over whether I believe there was an "accident" of sorts or something more nefarious.

Anyway, I'll be sitting on my hands for now. This case has me very upset and i don't want to break any rules.

"I'm not going to question the previous charge because as a victim nothing compounds the pain like having people think you lied but ..."

Actually, I'm not saying a victim lied- victim's don't lie- disgruntled, angry, vindictive people lie about molestation. Not insinuating a victim lied in any way. We don't have enough info to assume her dad is a "monster" and I think we need to tread carefully until we do.

Exactly. I so wish LE would give more details of what was happening on that Sunday. Where were the parents? Were they home or gone, and the children were alone? Didn't anyone think or talk about where Jenise was all day? What time did everyone awake that morning and realize she wasn't there? So many questions.

I don't have a feeling family was involved. I am leaning toward someone saw an opportunity.

This might upset some, but in a way I feel sorry for dad. He is not a convicted child molester. He has not, to our knowledge, repeated behaviour he was convicted of. The family is not lambasting him in media. True, his reaction seemed off a bit, but there is no norm when in shock. When I found my mom dead I refused to go back into house. My aunt had to be restrained and removed from house by police.

I pray they find her soon.

When I saw that the 2 older daughters were supporting the stepfather, and saying he would never harm her in any way, that put me back on the fence. I am now leading more towards a random opportunist, having hidden/taken her away.
