Not if their breaking into my house. And they would probably kill me anyway.
There could be many reasons they would hesitate to kill her. She is a kid after all so not so much of a threat. She might look like someone the killer knows (daughter, niece, sister). Her body language (crying, cowering) would make her a non-threat and possibility elicit sympathy despite the fact they had just murdered two people. Military/police tactics were brought up and wouldn't part of that be to take out the threats (adults) and round up the unarmed/non-threats (Jayme)?
I had proposed that theory a while back. It might make more sense if there were more than one person committing the crime. "No take her with us in case the cops catch up to us." or "No I can't shoot a kid we should just take her with us and decide what to do."
I read someone made the commit that James and Denise where married or with other people when they met at work. Was that ever decided to be true or not?
I think you should change your plan. Most states don’t have much leniency for warning shots. Other than that I think your plan’s good.
I agree! I think it was someone from that plant they worked at. LE said they talked to people there? Well they need to "investigate" all of them.
It’s worth noting that the abduction happened entirely in a four minute window at the tail end of this crime, and I really can’t think of a whole lot of physical evidence that would have been added to the mix in those final four minutes. The murders, on the other hand, could very well have taken place over a 25 minute period and produced all of the evidence we’ve discussed (and quite probably more evidence that LE hasn’t disclosed). It makes sense to me that if you solve one you’ll solve the other, and barring the discovery of Jayme or her remains the murders certainly appear to have a more favorable path to being solved.
I don’t discuss my own theory publicly only because I seem to ignite a firestorm every time I do, but I still absolutely believe this was a three man team (two assailants and one driver/lookout) and there were others involved in the planning and execution. I don’t think the assailants realized there was a child in the house and didn’t have any idea what they were supposed to do.
The problem with the "grievance" theory is that it doesn't explain why Jayme was taken.
It would if Jayme were taken for SA purposes
That could be a possibility. Though it doesn't bode well for Jayme once she was no longer needed.
I live in Texas and some may think our laws are lenient, but I believe they are logical. Truth is I only know I would not go to the door late night or early morning without a way to protect myself. I don't believe James Closs would either unless he knew the people at the door.
