Just wanted to clarify that 6/6 was when he was arrested though I see where you're going with your thought.

Just after TT was arrested on June 6, Danni wrote her goals list on June 17. If he was living with her off and on prior to the arrest, it appears that shortly after he was out of her house / life, she started to think about personal goals.

A month later, after achieving a major goal that would strengthen her custody goals, she vanished.
 
And it appears JD and the victim have a child. Lots of pictures of a little girl on their FB accounts. I wonder if there was a custody threat.

Does he have a history of kidnapping and torturing her, or was this out of character? Is there a previous domestic violence charge against him in addition to the current charge?

I ask because I'm curious whether something happened a month before he kidnapped his girlfriend that trigger this level of violence, whether this was the first time he did this to her (held her against her will).
 
And one of my least favorite facts about domestic violence prosecution is it is very hard to get charges to stick based on the testimony of a victim alone. You are lucky to get a restraining order and the guy is out on bail 2 days later. The fact that the judge ordered him held on $50,000 bond means there is serious physical evidence of a serious crime.

I know a few folks have said the one glitch in the person responsible for DNV’s disappearance is they never factored in DW and the missing phone. We now have another case where a young lady was held against her will, her phone was used to make it appear she was okay so there were not any red flags or missing person reports. Had she not escaped, who knows what would have happened to her. Is she estranged from her family?
 
JCD looks deranged in his mugshot.

Maybe he was on a cocaine binge. I have no idea what it costs for 3.5 weeks of cocaine, but I have heard that it's a drug for professionals, expensive. Anyone know what it costs for nearly a month of cocaine for a daily user?
 
This something I have thought about. Considering the bail was increased and everything the victim stated happened to her, I do not see why she would have had to throw DNV in to convince LE she has been imprisoned and tortured.

I'm guessing that it came out in the questioning that Danni's name came up during JD's girlfriends' 3.5 weeks of captivity.

After nearly a month of captivity, her ability to function (she'd been drugged) and appearance alone should have indicated what happened to her.
 
This article has more information. Victim says Theodore man imprisoned her for weeks - Lagniappe Mobile

Instead, the charges against Dykes stem from the alleged treatment of another woman, who says he “raped, beat and held [her] against [her] will” for weeks after she moved in with him. Dykes pleaded not guilty to those charges Tuesday in Mobile County District Court.

The victim, who was previously in a relationship with Dykes, filed a petition seeking a protective order against him in a separate domestic relations case, and that petition details disturbing allegations against Dykes that she says occurred in the three and half weeks he imprisoned her.

“During that time he wouldn’t allow me to leave or go anywhere by myself,” the victim wrote. “He took all my resources such as my cell phone away from me so I couldn’t contact anyone, threatened me with saying he would kill my family and rape my daughter or make me kill my entire family or he would watch me kill myself.”

Dykes has several prior arrests for charges related to drug possession and domestic violence.

I tried to look it up online but there is a lot in lingo I do not understand but I think $40 a $60 for half a gram. But I do not know if a gram is just one dose. And please I hope no one sees I have looked up cocaine prices! :(

I completely agree that Car 3 did not factor-in DW or Danni's phone.

We haven't heard of estrangement, but we have heard of a longstanding custody dispute regarding Danni's daughter.

Everything about Danni's disappearance would appear as though she voluntarily left if she'd had her phone with her, and if someone sent a couple of messages about why she left. If her phone had not been found, she could still have voluntarily left except 25 year olds can't survive road trips without a cell phone.

Car 3 was screwed because Danni's phone was at the Dublin, and DW was with her. Without DW, Danni's disappearance could have gone unnoticed.

Thank you. Since he has a history of drug abuse and domestic violence (perhaps connected), I'm still curious about the cost for 3.5 weeks of cocaine. Would that be $1000 or more?
 
It sounds like a crazy out of his mind drug binge. I wonder what cocaine would do to someone with violent tendencies. 25 days of cocaine would be expensive. Maybe he came into an inheritance, or did he have a high paying job? Maybe it wasn't a cocaine binge and he's a sociopath.
Yes, cocaine is reportedly expensive but crack cocaine is not. Crack is referred to as just "coke", as well as straight cocaine.

I have never been a drug user, but do know people personally who are addicts. They refer to it as just "cocaine" and when I found out it was actually "crack" I asked why they don't just say crack. They replied that it sounds better to just say "coke".

The people I know who are regular users of crack/coke are extremely low income but don't seem to have a problem keeping it as a habit. So, $1000 for 3+ weeks = no way!

Both crack, and meth, cause psychotic episodes and violence like what the cousin did.

Thank you. I'll try to figure out how many grams a regular user needs per week.

I have read about the association between frequent cocaine use and violence, which is why I think the timing between Danni's disappearance and a month later JD's month-long kidnapping and torture might be connected through Danni --> to TT --> JD --> JDT --> CT. It seems like there might be a connection, but that is pure speculation.

Thank you Alethea, the arrest photo. Deranged, drug binge?

From what I can tell it’s some little independent mechanic shop that probably rents the garage from them, I can’t find a name. I’ll drive that way on my way to work Monday morning and see if I notice a sign or something
Thanks! I want to try to get more info on them and also dig deeper into Pearl Motors as it might help to better understand who might have known about the car and its GPS and DNV picking up the car that day. I wish we had a VIN number to work with but we don't. I keep searching the car impound lists and her car hasn't shown up.
