I cant reconcile what puts him immediately at the door but has a delay in 911 call. if it was fast then I understand the delay in the call but not dad being that close to the door. if it was long enough to put dad that close to the door then I don't understand the delay in the 911 call.
Don't know the answer to this. The only tidbit of input I can give on this issue is on her Facebook there is a picture of her and another girl that looks to be similar age that says (i'm paraphrasing) 'the greatest best friend anyone could have' (again words are mine not hers) or something to that effect. I would expect that parents in that area are terrified to do anything that would draw attention to their children with the perp still at large (very understandably) I think this might be part of the reason we have not heard from any of her peers (other than a small snippit from a classmate on this first or second day). IMO
I don't think LE is going to want family in the early crime scene. comtamination would be one issue and they wouldn't let them in because of body fluids too until it was cleaned up.
This, yes. I have always assumed it is because Dad knew the person or someone in the house knew the person/s. They assumed they'd simmer down. Or, they left but never simmered down and came back with guns blazing and didn't bother chatting the next time.
he didn't necessarily *answer* the door the evidence we have suggest he went to the door. We also know the door was damaged either from being kicked in or shot through which suggest to me he may (IMO) have not opened the door but instead shouted through it IMO. I think this is how I (adult male) would handle a strange knock at ~ 1am.
It is possible that the 911 call was made by a dying DC and the distant noises heard on the call were Jayme being assaulted or removed from the house.....MOO
I agree if we assume that the neighbors got something wrong and this was not some drawn out 25 minute thing, then I think it is an act of impassivity and more balls than brains. IMO that would suggest younger 17-25 age perp than say 45 plus.
Unless the perp was at the house already (inside)and an argument occurred. The perp became enraged and went to his car to retrieve his gun and came back and busted in the door .Could someone have called 911 at this time knowing the perp was coming back towards the house? Knowing something bad could happen and trying to secretly alert the police? JMO.
Not only possible, to me this is by far the most likely scenario. (caveat: this assuming the neighbors where wrong or heard unrelated shots).
I think it meant they were puzzled because nothing could be found to give them any clues as to what happened. Jmo
Article says they got the info on LE having Denise AND Jaymes phone from the sheriff. But at the same time it seems strange that the sheriff would have been no commenting or saying IDK about Jaymes phone for three week and then all of a sudden say that they have it. Maybe it was a slip of the tongue maybe the article got it wrong at this point who knows. Someone should ask Paul Blume to verify with his LE sources.
I agree. but what delays the call that it gets that far if father has had enough time to get to the front door and be shot. I know once someone was in the situation would be out of control and likely just desperate for any chance to place that call.
unless something changed in the last few days (i have not been following as closely) all we know is no guns were found on the scene. We don't know if the father had guns that part is just, IMO reasonable, speculation on the part of posters here based on the demographic of the area and a social media post suggesting Jim has a hunter.
That's what I've been thinking from the beginning. That at first they may have tried to pick the lock, but maybe there was more than one, like a padlock or chain, so ultimately they ended up kicking the door in. Or, while they were trying to break in, James heard it and went to the door to see what was going on. Maybe the killer did manage to disable the lock and James was using his body to try to prevent him from opening the door. It just doesn't make sense that LE said he had answered the door but the door was kicked in. The way his feet were sticking out of the doorway when police arrived does make it seem like he was standing in the doorway when he was shot. If the killer forced the door open, then you would think James would be several feet inside the house when he was shot. Unless after the door was kicked in he charged the killer and then was killed in the doorway. I can't figure it out. Imo
