Some random thoughts. Jayme could have both been the target and perhaps also a grudge against the one of both parents. This person could have worked with her parents, or known from past activities(their high school years etc) or known to them in the community, and may not even be close to the family, but just someone thats knows of the family. They also may have developed a obsession/fondness for Jayme, perhaps from afar.
If LE had someone of genuine interest in custody, perhaps they would be asking more about establishing a timeline of that perp's actions, in the minutes hours, days, from the crime, not asking about who's currently been acting suspicious, and has grievances against the family. And if perp was in custody, they would be search parties out looking for her, because she's somewhere, and obviously not with him if he's in jail.
I find the number of sex offenders troubling. Are their group homes in town? One of the first days, I recall searching the register, and thought I had seen several offenders within the same address.
Is it common knowledge that Jenni-O has lax employment standards, and it is known, they can easily get jobs there? Or is JO working with a rehab facility, and its part of getting them back into the community in a positive way, by job offering. Which may account for the delayed written statement and lack of reward regarding their long time employees death. Only speculation, but I find it odd, there has not been a spokesperson from the company, out talking to the media more about what great longtime employees they were and such. I know sometime employers will tell employees not to talk to the media, but it seems like it's been unusually quiet from a PR standpoint. Not to be flippant, but its very close to Thanksgiving, and you would think they would want to position themselves better, in these circumstances.
Not to beat up on the poor neighbor(s), but their accounts/timeline could be wrong.
Isn't that somewhat typical of witnesses in general? They recall details wrong even if directly seeing them?
She looked at the clock. Was that with her glasses/contacts on? How dark was her room? Was she tired, had she taken medicine before bed, had alcohol in her system, etc? Is her clock a digital, or one with hands. Digital is much easier to read wrong, especially if you are looking at it, in bed, at an angle, and tired, or impaired. 3 can look like a 5, etc. Where were they coming home from at 12:15? No judgement, just may be a lot of holes of a witness account.
To me she's sounds honest, but flustered, and perhaps her timeline is off.
I completely think this is someone of knowledge of the area. Because of the known timeline of 911, the perp had little time to cleanly get away using HWY 8, may have utilized back/side roads. How would perp know for certain which direction LE was coming?
The apparent violent nature of the scene (eluded to by LE), and the brazeness of the crime, which is unusual, but not so different that some of the school type shootings, which makes me think, it's a loner, with a chip on their shoulder,(bullied or a sex assault survivor themselves) and is mad at the victims or the world, or both, and wanted Jayme. Maybe it's more random, but can't imagine going into a rural home, and ambush strangers, when there are easier prey other places where young people are, and not knowingly know what you're going into.
Hard to be invisible in a small community, if you're not a local.
If a door was indeed kicked in, as reported, this person has some strength, to them. So a loner with some muscles/strength, in addition to weapons.
I wish the FBI would come out and talk more about what they are looking for. People in town know who the members of the fringe are. Believe by their statement the other day about peoples patterns etc was very telling.
