Anjelica "AJ" Hadsell, 18, Reported Missing from Norfolk, VA - 3 March 2015

[CarolAnn]

YES. He said , in reply to a question, that Aj had texted him too, not just JH. And he went on to day he had an ongoing conversation with her.
And now I cannot find that anywhere. I looked at Lucky7's 3 transcripts. Don't see it there.

Was there another short TV interview maybe? Or was it maybe said on the family BAJH FB?

I don't know if this is what you are looking for but he is quoted in this article after her remains were found.

A day before Hadsell left the house last month, she had asked her dad, Wesley Hadsell, about getting some money, he said. He gave it to her around noon.

"We were talking back and forth," Wesley Hadsell said. "On the 3rd, she texted me the OK emoji, you know, the little hand sign."

There was a case I followed last fall where every once in a while one of the mods would pop in with the friendly reminder to "scroll and roll". I thought that was very helpful so I just thought I'd mention it here. Obviously we don't all agree on every aspect of this case but sometimes it's better to just leave it at that.

I hope the mods are okay with me mentioning this. eace:

SCROLL & ROLL! LET's GIVE ONTARIO MOM POST OF THE DAY!
You've done us a great service, OM! I was just thinking, we've been doing pretty well lately controlling our sniping. :furious: I know that I haven't felt the need to "scroll & roll" in awhile -- but you know what they say -- the calm before the storm (AND ALERT!! FULL MOON RISING ON MON. (05/04/2015) (ALERT!). This is a timely reminder!

I get a sense that WS is a mini-world, made up of members from all walks of life, occupations, cultures, and backgrounds. All have something valuable to bring to this forum. I am fortunate to be counted among them!

So, thanks again, OM. We love you! And Websleuths, too!:heart:

While we wait for news, here's a refresher:

http://wavy.com/2015/03/04/norfolk-detectives-search-for-missing-18-year-old/

It's the first video interview with JH that I could find - March 5. She said the last time (per the neighbor's sighting) AJ was seen was 2:30. WH said 2:00/2:03. I don't know if it means anything but I believe JH was speaking for herself in this interview and not sharing secondhand info from WH. I could be wrong...

Something we haven't talked much about is COD. What's everyones opinion on what AJ's COD is?

Asphyxiation by manual strangling.

Lets just agree to disagree. I am too new to this site to go back and forth with anyone.

Imo: I don't think the marriage was ending especially when you see the processing his innocence, the obit, & cutting out the sister-in-law and grandma at the service regardless possible stained relationship. As an outsider, it looks like the classic Tammy Wynette, Stand By Your Man song.

I am leaning toward blunt force trauma. For some reason, I picture a scene that escalates, then spirals out of control. Escalating anger and a push or shove resulting in some form of trauma to the body that was severe enough to cause death. JMO and not sure why I see that.

I'm leaning towards strangulation as COD, with blunt force trauma. Not sure why I think so either

 

[DexterMorgan]

Did y'all forget that the gun will never be found?

COD: Gunshot. Jmo

Same here. For me it's because I see those two combined in so many cases. It seems like the perp does one then "finishes" with the other. I think they don't realize how hard it actually is to kill someone.

 

[courtneyb]

I think it's entirely possible WH got rid of the gun simply because he knew he wasn't supposed to have it, but was too dumb to ditch the ammo as well. If WH is guilty and if he shot AJ, him making the statement that the gun would never be found, is akin to confessing, almost. He may as well have confessed. I don't think there was a gun involved in her death, other than the fact that at least one person who shouldn't have one, had one.

 

[Ontario Mom]

I'll reserve comment on any possible COD until the final ME report comes in and we know for certain what the method/cause was.

 

[courtneyb]

It should go without saying that this is all my opinion, and just some thoughts I am trying to reconcile or dismiss:

What gives me pause about WH's guilt of the actual murder, other than being a complete moron, is the way AJ's debit card and items of clothing were discarded..

A person guilty of a murder, who is trying to get rid of and destroy evidence, would not do so in such a haphazard manner. You don't go through the trouble of cutting up a debit card to destroy it, taking great pains to leave the name intact. The way the items disposed of was deliberate, in terms of making sure they were identifiably AJ's. So, the first question is:

For what purpose would one to leave evidence, obviously, purposely indentifiable as AJ's, to so easily be found?

If WH is guilty, how are the ways he would benefit from the items being easily found and so obviously AJ's? It takes a deliberate decision to cut up a card in such a way. Why do that, when in probably the same amount of time, one could cut the card to absolute smithereens, and it would likely never be found?

And what guilty person then makes sure that his is involved in the finds of the absurdly easily found, obviously AJ's belongings, himself?

Is there anyone who would benefit from the items being "destroyed" and discarded in the manner that they were? And why would someone benefit from this? Someone hoping that WH would act like WH is known to act (completely irrational, impulsive, blustering and foolish), making it absurdly easy to "frame" him. I don't even consider that framing; with a character like WH, it is more like fishing in a baited pond... you know he is going to bite.

IMO, the items were discarded in the manner they were NOT to get rid of evidence or to shift blame away from the person discarding them. The deliberateness indicates the items were treated in such a way as to POINT a finger at a suspect. Not away from one. What guilty person would point so many fingers at themselves without confessing?

I think if every murderer had a WH in the picture, there would be a lot of people getting away with murder.

And, I am not defending WH or saying I believe he is completely innocent. I think he is in the picture, for sure.. But, this is no slam dunk by far for me.

 

[Ontario Mom]

The deliberate placement = WH finding items (or making certain they'd be found while he was there) and that makes him Public Hero #1. Narcissism. Ego. Pride.

 

[courtneyb]

I just can't imagine him wanting to be the hero badly enough to make himself suspect #1, knowing that whatever hero status he gained, would quickly be lost. Finding AJ's belongings brings LE one step closer to finding AJ, which brings WH, if guilty, one step closer to being the villain, not the hero.

If you look at the questions I posed about if someone else would benefit from the belongings situation playing out as it did, I think that that likelihood carries as much, if not more weight than the theory that WH made himself look horribly guilty in order to be a hero for a couple days, knowing his actions were tightening the noose around his own neck.

 

[zapped]

Do You really think his marriage was ending?
I don't!

Im curious to know why you would think this.

He already had one foot out the door so to speak, in living at the hotel room instead of at home.

I absolutely think the killer is narcissistic, but am not convinced it was WH.

 

[courtneyb]

I also wanted to add this: In what world would WH think it would put him in a good light, make him look like a "hero" by punching a dog?? That just doesn't fit the hero theory to me.
