You could literally substitute any activity or location and reach a similar conclusion. Without [grocery stores] it would be much more difficult for predators to [follow] women like Kenzie. Without [department store dressing rooms] it would be much more difficult for sexual predators to...

Maybe to avoid waking a paying Airbnb guest at 3am? (Apologies if someone else already posted same. Had to skip quite a few posts this morning.)

I keep no open mind for men who slaughter women. Courtesans like Helen Jewett were playing a sexually adventurous, potentially lucrative "game," one that offered them more freedom in life than women were typically afforded, with the rules ostensibly made clear to the clients in advance. The...

Hi there, popping in from lurking. @poppydarling can you give any sense of the degree to which the men (especially married) participating in the SB/SD lifestyle believe it’s legal, or perceive it as sex work? Do they tend to see it primarily as transactional or relational (and is that data...

This guy makes me absolutely sick. I don't believe a word he says. I'm on the side of LE on this one. I don't see any connection to JM that isn't based on RAT's word, and he's...well, a rat.

I dunno. JM had his hands all over women, including HG, the night she went missing. He was all over the bars and all over the cameras. People saw him and recognized him. If he was planning this out (esp. as vengeance for some larger injustice, like slavery) I can't imagine he'd be so...

Keep in mind, when a hospital isn't disclosing information about a patient, it's almost certainly not because they want to hide anything. They're bound by HIPAA, which is designed to protect patient privacy and safety. (Before HIPAA, hospitals could--and often did--sell diagnostic and personal...

Wondering this too. Clearly JM's not giving hints. I think until they find Hannah, we're all going to be treading water speculating about JM's psychology and motivations. :(

Just wondering...could MH have jumped out of a moving vehicle? I would imagine that would cause some significant breakage if the car was moving at a solid clip, right? I'm no medical expert, though.

That's untrue. Compare: Marburg http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs_marburg/en/ Ebola http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs103/en/

Being a lawyer, I want to point out that they probably know each other just from practicing criminal defense in the same area. Law can be a close-knit community, in smaller states. That said...assuming the photo is recent...it's pretty insensitive to be seen out laughing together, under the...

Only just started following this thread, but if anyone's interested, here's a neat writeup of the legal issues surrounding involuntary quarantine (using an instance of drug-resistant TB as an example, but this all applies to ebola as well)...

I really think he left the state, for the same reason he tried to leave the country. There's been chatter about links in CA. I've been trying to find some solid link there, but haven't had much luck. It's a big state.

I tend to think that JM himself quite honestly rationalizes these things somehow--he sees himself as a good, decent person who's been wronged. He may have compartmentalized rape and murder in his mind as "exceptions" or even justified them to himself somehow. In short, I don't think the "good...

Great thought! I really wish Slaybaugh or Barefoot or one of those locals would check out the MJ House link. (Reporters? Are you reading this?)
