Update - Mrs. Dow passed away yesterday afternoon. May she rest in peace, and the animals who attacked an 83 year old asleep in her own bed rot in h@ll!!!
I'm on my phone and can't figure out how to link to the article on WSB site...sorry.
Good point if they actually knew each other prior to the murders...I'm not sure where I stand on that theory though. That area is so densely populated that mere proximity doesn't always equate familiarity. As has been discussed earlier in the thread - in no small part due to your awesome...
I agree that he paid at the pump, and had his mask on thinking that would "foil" the security cameras and prevent being identified...JMO, not exactly a rocket scientist there!!
FWIW, my debit card used as "credit" for gas purchase requires me to enter my billing zip code before authorizing...
Hope to inject a little levity here after figuring out it's time for me to go to bed...somehow my brain garbled your response into something along the lines of what would make him wear the mask for 90 minutes in the heart of a hot Atlanta summer - my mind responded "well, there's his insanity...
Sweet Jesus in Heaven be merciful if true...as if these poor families aren't going through enough already!!! Glad this is the first time I'm hearing of this, or I might have had nightmares about it...

Could he perhaps have been thinking of fooling surveillance cameras with the mask, reasoning with not the clearest of 20 year old minds at 4:30 in the morning?? It has been hotter than Hades here for the past few weeks, with temps still in the 80s overnight and high humidity....that leads me to...
I had a brief thought of Ringgold (a well known spot for quick elopements), but then remembered it is still within Georgia, meaning a marriage certificate should have popped up to WSB's research...of course, they could have been in TN, NC, SC, or AL within a 2 hour drive of Roswell...
JMHO...
Just checked all the local media websites, and while they all refer to the warrant Affidavits, or other unspecified "Court records", none have posted any to their websites. Other Atlanta locals may agree with MOO that this lack of posting these is QUITE unusual for WSB and WXIA as well as the...
UPDATE: 11pm WSB news just commented on his wedding band, and report that they have been researching but can NOT find any record substantiating a legal marriage thus far..flipping to other channels to see if any coverage on this issue...

I'm local to the Atlanta metro area, and while familiar with where this happened, I live further East of the Roswell area. I've been glued to the local media coverage (and this thread!!) since awakening to this horror Monday morning...there has been no mention of JH's marital status as yet im...
Guess that fits with the distraught GF wearing what appeared to be engagement and wedding rings in the video earlier this week while the search warrant was acted on at her parents' home - JMHO

I lived in Turkey for 2+ years as a child when my Dad was stationed there in the USAF in the mid-to-late 1960s...some of my earliest memories are of learning to play Chinese Checkers by candlelight, and the never-ending war with my Dad constantly taking my blue fingerpaint for the car headlights...
Y'all have just GOT to see this story that has brought me a HUGE - and badly needed - smile!!! Oh, be sure to watch the video to see this precious furbaby returned to his very upset 4 year old "mommy", who was just given the pup for her birthday a few days ago...I dare ya not to at least well up...
