The "gloves" keeping going around in my mind. JA first stated to DF while she was describing the Ninja's that they were wearing "gloves". On another interview while DF was asking her to please tell the truth, while she is telling DF that she would have had to shoot TA as not to kill him in a humane way, she also says ‘But I would have to wear gloves. For whatever reason, this is a sticking point for me. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
She was caught in her 'I was nowhere near there' lie.
She was now aware that LE had busted story number one and she had no choice but to let it go.
She had to come up with a story number 2, the now-infamous ridiculous and also-busted 'ski-masked and unidentifiable intruders on a mission but I couldn't tell you because they'd kill my family yesterday but not today', and make it fit the forensics of which she was now aware.
Jodi's prints were the only ones, besides Travis's, which could be placed within the action of the crime scene. In her second failed story, the only reason that her bloody palm print was there is because she was trying to help her dear friend who was being slaughtered by gloved intruders surprised by Jodi's presence at the scene. ["That's that girl from California," she quotes them as saying. LOL!]
The reason the intruders in her story wore gloves is because they left no print evidence. It's that simple.
She must have thought -- I reiterate,
JA's thoughts, not mine -- that Flores was just one more naïve LDS-er upon which she could prey. Her journal implies as much.
I think worldly-wise and progressive Californian Jodi was surprised at the ready ease with which their community loved and accepted her upon and following her conversion. In her mind, she would be able to continue to hoodwink them, playing them all -- including the investigators -- for fools, as she had done with Travis, Ryan, Leslie, Dan, Desiree, Chris, Skye et al.
She was wrong about Det. Flores. He was onto her from the start.
And now she's on cockamamie story number three and facing the needle.
Well, you can't say she hasn't earned it.
