I can't imagine she'd be denied entry a few minutes after having already patronized McGrady's, tho. Especially if she had just left and was only returning a few minutes later to retrieve a cell phone or something. (Only case I can imagine that happening would be if she was so drunk and...

I find this round-up very helpful. Because it seems to me very possible that she simply texted to her friend some version of "I'm lost, come find me," or "I'm lost, come get me," or just "I'm lost" --- and that the whole "14th and Wertland" thing wasn't even IN that final text at all.[/I] See...

I can imagine a smart, academically talented kid like HG sharing a toke of pot or even taking X at a dance party . . . sure . . . but wandering off on foot into the night to make a drug connection alone and somewhat scantily clad? It makes zero sense. Can we put that part of the argument to...

I've noticed several people on other HG threads talking about the lack of detail on who Hannah was (beyond the rather one-dimensional snapshot of a fresh-faced A student who played softball and was a talented musician). So, I thought I'd draw attention to this short video. It isn't new but I...

Well, we know what JLM's job was: nursing assistant (or orderly) at a hospital. So you're theorizing he was a drug dealer on the side and that an 18 year old athletic, slightly nerdy, A student co-ed walked around for an hour and a half alone on a weekend party night --- on foot, via a zig-zag...

To me, it's completely implausible that the person HG was looking for or planning to meet --- if she was indeed out looking to rendezvous with someone -- was JLM. (A few people have suggested this as a possibility in this thread.) For one, if she were going for a rendezvous with JLM --- or was...

Wow, yes~! Exactly. That's exactly how I felt. That was before I found W.S. The reason I started following the story, and came to W.S. is because I felt just as you did. It's slightly inexplicable. My first post on here was trying to make sense of how his self-presentation and his movements...

I think LE were already following or gathering info on JLM. Maybe they were trying to draw out tips from people who had seen JLM earlier in the evening, or with HG --- without alarming JLM and sending him on the run.

~ snipped from original. ~ No, it's not just you. I've resisted saying this, because it sounds so silly/foolish/false, but here goes: I'm not at all a believer in psychic vibrations or any of that nonsense -- but three times in my life I've had a hairs-standing-on-end automatic reaction to...

Totally agree. IMO, she would only leave her friends to walk out alone for one of two reasons: to meet a boy/romantic interest (joyously) or to "walk it off" (already in distress) after something went wrong with a romance. I think those are really the only plausible explanations for an...

Totally, totally agree. Love interest is the only explanation I really believe for her to leave a group of friends and go off alone. She looks so happy in those first, still images --- so true. You can imagine that if she were trying to meet a love interest, and she felt he was waiting, she...

Check out a post on the "Hannah's journey" thread, a few minutes ago from a member named MMLTW. Most plausible explanation I've yet heard for her strange route and long walk that night.

This is the best theory or explanation I've seen yet. It would explain a lot: the bizarrely long walkabout, her walking "with purpose" (as L.E. said), and even her reported reply to someone at the door at McGrady's, who asked if she was okay or needed help --- what was it exactly that was...

I read about that here on WS: Reportedly, there was some sort of big fight or brawl, and JLM swooped in and "saved" a girl by throwing her over his shoulder and carrying her away from harm.

I've posted about this before, but at the risk of beating a dead horse: He appears to have had a thing about physically picking people up. He (apparently) did it during the Fairfax attack, he did it to random girls he didn't know in bars, he did it in high school. I find the high school account...
