Unfortunately, an injection site isn't remarkable in and of itself as family and friends have indicated she struggled with drug addiction. Even more unfortunately, that opens up a lot of potential suspects in a murder which probably explains why the police want to just write it off.

You can follow this case in the Jessica Heeringa thread. He's not getting away with it - Bletsch case was postponed so that they could conduct the preliminary hearing for the charges in the Heeringa case and establish the use of evidence from all three cases (MJN, JLH, RBK). At the very least...

My understanding from what was presented in the video is that the defense was looking to prevent the content of the hard drives in their abundant entirety from being presented as they would be unduly prejudicial to the case ... i.e. there was a terrabyte of space with a *lot* of gory horror...

Roselvr: Let me clarify a few things, because I feel like you may be perceiving me as not only unfamiliar with the case, but hostile to JH's alleged drug use. First off, I AM new to Websleuths, yes, so new in fact that I'm still learning the ins and outs of the community. That said, I am *not*...

More testimoniesf yesterday from the preliminary exam with the last 6 Monday if someone wants to follow up on this.

From what I've read of the trial so far, the main links between all three cases is going to be the stolen gun, broken parts, and ballistics. In JH case, there were broken parts from a battery operated laser scope (damage may show on gun?) by the blood at the scene, in RBK case there was shots...

Not a problem. There's some back and forth among the rumor mill about her having something against Heeringa, because the reason she followed and go the vehicle's description was because she thought Heeringa might be stealing. AFAIK, there's no context to that and I haven't had an opportunity to...

It is my understanding that Susan Follet (employee) and Eric Barber (boyfriend) were not the owners, and it's questionable whether she was a manager as well. It seems this may have been poor reporting by Fox17 and others quoting them, as she's indicated to have no such title.

I suspect there's not going to be anything new on this. From what's being reported now, SP and KP took their kids and left Redding for parts unknown. Given what they're leaving behind, I'm not surprised. The only real question is how long it will take for the bleeping media to screw up their...

I saw that quote regarding "our girl" (from the GMA article, I think?) as well and found it curious too, but I had attributed it to poor reporting, probably being a quote from another family member that was mistakenly attributed to KP. He doesn't seem to refer her that way elsewhere, so KISS...

It is well known that any time there is a crisis, be it 9/11, Katrina or a kidnapping, in addition to all the well-meaning people that come out to offer whatever help they can, all sorts of other people (hucksters, con-men, sales reps) come out of the woodwork as well with less pure intentions...

Latest update: Judge Kostrzewa rules that the evidence from the 2016 kidnapping and the 2014 murder of Rebekah Bletsch can be used in the Heeringa case. I'm sure we can expect an appeal of some kind. For a public defender, Hosticka sure seems determined to make sure JW gets the fairest trial he...

Looking at the details of the claims he's making, I have to wonder if he spent some time at the poker games with his cousin Kevin Bluhm discussing just how to muck the legal process up as an inmate if he ever got caught.

Thanks for the information Leep. On that note if someone would like to post the links there was a major update in the Bletsxh side of the case resulting in New delays relating to someclient attorney privilege issues being raised. I would do it but don't have computer access atm. Best sources...

Thanks for the update. I have absolutely no idea how to set myself up for updates, so I appreciate you and Greg and others posting these. Also, Mlive provides a very nice explanation of the process from Judge Kostrzewa...
