Pulling out a few more key items; topics for thought and discussion
** JM tends to point the finger at Tyrone for all the bad things they did, just an observation seems as thou this is a diffuse and deflect tactic to shift blame. Another observation is the fact he throws off anyone whom calls about EDJD as someone looking for a reward is this also a tactic to keep others off of the case. Once she is identified he no longer has a cow to cash in own.
Mercedes was on the street since [the] age of 16, he said. A black guy she fell for allowed her to be pimped in Fort Worth and Dallas
She was very young when she was taken. At one time, she was taken from her loved ones by force, but as an adult it was willingly, McAlphin said
JD - Dallas - Left JD for Tyrone
JD is Mercedes former pimp, Jeffrey JJ Davis, of Dallas, Phillips said
JD, [whom] she ran away [from] with Tyrone.
*A little confused, are their 2 people a JD and a JJ and somehow the initials were mixed up
Tyrone - Florida - Left Tyrone for JM)
Tyrone, detectives believe, was Mercedes pimp in Florida.
This and the things done with Tyrone were [the] reason for [her] alias name
Tyrone, could not get the VW (Volkswagen) to work while staying with Gail
Gail - ? - Gail is connected to Tyrone
Gail was not happy they were still at her home, EDJD was reading to get to TX and get to work
Tyrone, gave Gail $ 100.00
Gail was leaving to go see her grandmother in Fresno (CA/TX)
JM - Dallas/Florida/Shreveport, Louisiana/Arkansas
When I found out, I took Mercedes and ran for Louisiana
Children
o give Mercedes money if shed come to his room at the Whitehall Motel. Mercedes told Cooksey she wanted to use that money to send presents to her children.
McAlphin said Mercedes was older than him he said he was 26 when they met and she had two children she left with someone in Fort Worth, Texas.
She told me her and her mother didnt get along and that her momma was raising her two kids. I know she had said the one was a girl, but I cant remember what she said the other one was.
She told the lady that when she was there, a child had been taken away from her by social services and that when the child was taken from her, she was using another name, so she could not go get the child back, Phillips said.
JM Letters - 12/20/15
*20 years he has wondered what happened to her children. They were left with someone in Ft Worth, TX.
(JM did not know whom they were left with, See letter 12/23/15)
*Tried FB when he got of prison but nothing there
(Was he searching by their names or some other random search)
*He already knew who they were (EDJD family) from what Mercedes had told him about there location names etc..
*I believe they wanted to be sure it was her b/c it has been so long since they had seen her.
(Her sister and mother supposedly visited them not too long before she passed, he and they had only been together a year and he had met them.
*Her family convicted me a long time ago
JM Letters - 12/23/15
*We left the kids in Ft Worth with every intention of going back
(1st the kids were left with someone that to me sounded as if JM did not know whom it was from his 1st letter. This letter states "we" left them in FW contradicting).
*I've been convicted by her family (Again) one would think the person convicted by family was EDJD however JM tends to repeat her family convicted him.
(IMO there something here that is bothersome b/c the family convicted him therefore he would do whatever he could to separate EDJD from them.
JM Letters - 1/1/15
*She was running with Tyrone
JM Letters - 1/26/16
*JM can't completely remember her name; it could be Helen or Julie
*EDJD showed JM an issue of Outlaw Biker from 1989 w/EDJD topless w/a biker gang
*Places where she may have stated her real name; Dallas - Life Foundation (Mar 1991), Shreveport Human Services (Mar 1991), Trailways Bus Ticket (Jun 1991).
(Interesting that EDJD purchased a bus ticket in Jun right before her passing assume this was the proof of the true intent to leave JM. This may have been found out by JM and was the reason for EDJD fatal ending.)
*Tyrone's last name was only mentioned in passing and I don't want to guess an be incorrect.
JM Letters Jan-16
*Gives the name Helen Stenner to a cell mate
*JM and EDJD were only together a little over a year (May,Apr 1990 - Jul 1991)
