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

[Aud1]

I agree. I don't think there is any really clear cut timeline here because I don't believe these parents seemed to care if she was there or not.

Someone earlier (here at WS) said the parents treated Jenise like a pet, but I disagree. I give my cats MUCH more attention than they gave that little girl (according to their own admissions).

 

[gngr~snap]

I don't think anyone is sure of this at all.

Which makes me ask what the heck are the police talking about? The parents can only be forthcoming if they have some facts about their child. I am not accusing them of anything other than not having much information to tell police to assist in finding their 6yr old daughter. Moo

All posts are MOO

According to neighbors, she wandered around the neighborhood, knocking on doors, seeing if someone would play with her......one lady said she had been out and about since she was 3.

Sorry but that's just infuriating to me, and atrocious, neglectful, horrid parenting. We don't live on the planet Utopia. In this day and age you have to be cautious. What kind of parent, seriously, allows their little 3 yr old to run around the neighborhood? I'm sorry but the parents here irk me to no end and I can't help but feel that if they are not in any way responsible directly for her death, that they still contributed to it by their lax parenting. That's about all I can say without getting banned.

Why would LE say the parents are incredibly cooperative more than once, when they don't know anything about their child leading up to the disappearance!! Really just makes me mad. I have an almost 5 year old and if she is quiet for 5 mins in the house I go and look and see what she is up to! I can't even fathom only noticing a 6 year old is missing because she didn't come home for dinner!! What about breakfast!!

some where way back, was a MSM article , that had some lady talking about Jenise at church, hanging with her Dad, shy at first around the other kids, sorry I couldn't find it right off.....any one else recall it??

so did the family not GO to church Sunday morning then? Why not?Was their church attendance sporadic...or regular?

It was a MSM article http://www.komonews.com/news/local/...ch-for-missing-6-year-old-girl-269833771.html where that was said in the following comment section.

The thing they removed from the house- some posters mentioned it looks like a cot. I imagine it was one of the kids beds. Unless they have big rooms and bunks, fitting 4 kids beds in there would be a challenge.

Eta- To be clear, I think it is a fold up cot, that belonged to one of the kids.

Maybe to keep them cooperating and talking?

Sounds like a logical theory to me even if the parents did not go out anywhere but were partying at home. What I don't know/haven't read is where you state that she was quote she "woke up and J wasn't there." She woke up where? What did she mean by that?

That part I cannot figure out. Only the one statement and if anyone has a link or she said anything else, I'd love to see it.

Nothing new ... Just an article I hadn't read/ seen posted. Where is Jenise?? The friend i?n article states they all stayed/ roamed together ... I question if she really was seen Sunday at all.

Hearing the 14-yr-old talking about Jenise as if she were her little sister made me feel a little better -- also her talk of how the kids ran around with each other & looked after each other. That may be why her parents felt okay about her running around with them.

But... what happened to Jenise? Why isn't she with them, or why isn't she with one or two of them at the least? Or why doesn't any one of them know where she went? That bothers me. A lot.

 

[KivaSupporter]

I am new to this case, are there interviews or pictures of Jenise's parents anywhere? TIA

You can find a picture of the parents in entry 835.

There is a video of an interview with the father in this thread, too.

I assumed it was Jenice's bed. Not sure, just an assumption.

Only slightly OT but part of the reason you're hearing laughing and casual banter prior to such a devastating announcement is because most cops (of all stripes, local, state, federal) have learned how to turn off the painful, traumatic stuff they see ALL the time. They have to, or they'd never be able to do their jobs. MOO from all the cops I've known & am related to.

ITA. As difficult as its been for those of us following along with this case via computer can you imagine what it must have been like on the scene? Sometimes laughter or back slapping is the only way to keep from just falling apart for LE who deal with awful things day after day. JMO

Some have asked why it's relevant whether this community is called a mobile home park or a trailer court/park. It IS relevant and here's why:

From a person who lives there, it's already been described as a mobile home community, primarily occupied by young families, retired, military, etc. I also believe she mentioned the homes are not rentals, they're owned. Honestly, not much different at all than any other neighborhood. From myself as well as someone who used to work there, and had a family member who lived there (and owned his mobile), it's not at all what the general public considers a trailer park, run down rental trailers, sketchy occupants, unkept lots with trash all over the place. (it did have a bad rep about 30 years ago but I've been told by people who live there and know them that the current managers do all they can to run a GOOD, safe community) The reason it's relevant I believe is due to the comments about the transients in the vicinity. Just clearing that up that they do NOT live in the park. Jenise was from a fairly decent neighborhood, not some sketchy high-traffic area with strangers coming and going. The comments from LE about the "phenomenal" cooperation from all the people in the park should speak volumes about the majority of the character of the type of people who live there. As someone who used to own a mobile home service company in Bremerton, I can guarantee you you'd *never* hear that about occupants of a "trailer park". Ever.

I just wanted to clear that up. That being said, even perverts live in nice houses with nice yards. It doesn't mean the whole neighborhood is full of them.

Talking about what? Unless there is a bunch of stuff LE is not letting us know. This is a case where the parents haven't hardly been heard compared to lot of other missing person cases. Usually the family is all over the news, if not the parents then some kind of family member making appeals for help.

This case makes me sick, rip jenise, too many missing little girls end w/ this fate, it's sickening

If Janise was last seen when going to bed Saturday night, and the parents did'nt realize she was missing until Sunday night when she did not come home for dinner, why didn't the parents realize she was missing Sunday morning?
Did the parents think Janise just hopped out of bed before anyone else and left early to roam the neighborhood?
Were the parents use to waking up and not having their 6 year old daughter in the house?
Why did't the parents sound the alarm when Janise was not home on Sunday for breakfast or lunch? Did they not feed their child?
Why did it take all the way to Sunday night during dinner time to realize Janise was gone?
Where did Janise get her meals/breakfast/lunch on Sunday? Were the neighbors use to feeding her?
The timeline is just messed up for me and does not make sense.

I'm looking at it this way:
6 years olds are so full of energy, they don't stop til they're ready to drop. Friday and Saturday nights are usually when your kids get to stay up a bit longer, because, traditionally, mom and dad don't work the weekends and they just might want to sleep in a bit the following morning (along with the teenagers). There's also early morning cartoons (or is there?).
Take a look at what kind of food kids eat at home, Hot Pockets, Eggos, cold cereal, the assorted fruits. My two kids could run circles around a micro wave and didn't have much of a problem pouring milk on their cereal by the time they were 6, my daughter more so by 4 years. Because of the critters, I HAD to get up, so if the kids ran off to their friends, grabbed a horse or two, or went off on State land to build a tree fort, I had a pretty good idea where they were at.
The local news that proceeded the presser had a time line with Jenice being seen at 2:00 and 4:00 on Sunday. Maybe she couldn't watch TV or play video games early on the weekend mornings? And here I have to give credit to her parents for getting her outside to play and interact with the other kids in the neighborhood, instead of being a couch potato like so many children are today.

Honestly, if you have a tight neighborhood, where everyone knows each other, there's children who play well together, kids will eat at this family's house or another's, it's a great situation. I had that at a horse complex years ago, and I knew if "someone forgot to make their bed, or tidy up their room", they could only be in one of six households or out playing in the surrounding 40 acres of the complex.
As a parent, only you can judge how capable your child is. By the age of 5, my son knew better then to get into a pen of steers or mess with a horse he didn't know. My daughter and her BFF at age 10, would ride 2 of our horses 2+ miles away to the arena for 4-H. They had both been "pool proofed" soon after 2 years of age. They knew heavy equipment was out of bounds. And they were taught how to dial 911 as soon as they could identify numbers and "Stranger Danger". If they were eating dinner some where else, they knew they or the adult had to call first to see if it was ok.
They both got into adulthood with 1 sprained ankle each. I raised them like my parents raised me, although I was a bit more reckless and my childhood injuries were more numerous!
I can't judge the parents because I don't have a clue what the situation REALLY was. The few comments posted by MSM from one or two neighbors may just be sour grapes who the kids avoid anyway.
And doesn't it come down to the cultural environment? In the community that my children were raised in, raising and butchering out what you put in your freezer was 2nd nature, a 12 year old driving a back hoe down the side of the highway isn't uncommon, and 5 and 6 year olds on horse back are not an unusual site when the rancher's round up their range cattle. I know I'd have a screaming child if one came to visit from a brownstone in New York or a tract home in Phoenix. It happened almost everytime my kids' cousins came to visit until they got to be about 10, and one was always spouting off something about PETA. :facepalm:

Location and culture.

(Apologies for interchanging "kids" and "child/children", "kids" is just my normal vocabulary.)

 

[Ontario Mom]

I really do agree with you.. But while I was about to click on the Thanks button... I noticed I was on WS a lot... I was just kidding..:giggle:

Yes... It is refreshing to see kids (of all ages) out "playing"... When I am hiking, playing basketball, walking my pup... It seems like even when "kids"are out.. There are cell phones/etc. attached to their ears...

:seeya:

Totally understand I work from home and have sort of been glued to my desktop/cell for the last few days.

It does not matter what they are saying. They just would want to keep them talking and feeling comfortable so that they could read them and watch them better. It has nothing to do with the value of what they are saying.
