Brooke Bennett, 12 yrs. old Randolph, VT #9

Maybe the sugarshack area is where MJ took the other victim before he let her go. They say something found at the house led them to that area and a map would be a logical find with the place marked, imo.

This also adds another aspect to MJ's sexual fantasy. If he lived on or near the property where the victim was taken in the convicted assault/kidnapping case...he could be constantly reliving that experience and added murder to it. With the knife being his choice of weapon in the first one...I wouldn't be surprised if this didn't enter into the current murder, too.

That really makes a lot of sense to me, SS. Quite possibly could be!

It could also be where he took his sister when he raped her....a 100 times. The 1992 attack and Brooke's could be an attempt to relive the experience with his sister.

I agree that makes sense.

Welcome to all of the newbies!

A couple of things that I have been thinking about while away from the computer for a while:

1.) Part of the staged material "found" by MJ were a pair of torn panties with blood and semen on them...semen not matching MJ naturally, but blood matching a sample of DNA taken from Brooke's hairbrush. I wonder if the quantity was such that it was apparent she was not alive, or if the underwear was actually Brooke's at all?

2.) The affidavit actually mentions that Brooke was expecting to "party" with one or some boys-not go to a party. There are quite a few street definitions for that term, one of which is to have sex.

3.) I do not think that Brooke was actually expecting to attend a party at 8AM one morning, which leads me to believe that she was expecting to hook up for something else....I am not denigrating her-I think there was a chance that she expected to be "initiated...." perhaps, but maybe not with an adult male-certainly not her uncle.

Who is to say they would be local? There are thousands of missing young girls across the country. (He could have buried the girl there from AZ, too.)

Maybe, but then why didn't he kill the 18 year old victim? I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he hasn't raped other women but not sure he has killed until Brooke.

He seems like one of those psychos that need a whole 'power' back story. Plenty of step daughters are raped without their abusers resorting to creating a fake sex ring complete with fake identities.

I think he finally was overtaken by his own fantasy life. If he had just stuck to raping his relatives none of this would have come to light.

AR is so messed up EVEN if she had come forth and said he was raping her, nobody would have believed her.

I find it hard to believe anyone could possibly be *that* stupid.

But then again, we are talking about Michael Jacques, convicted sex offender, who was known to be the last person to see Brooke, before she went *missing*. :doh:

i think the feds caught on too quickly for him, and that he actually thought he could fool them.. Not enough time for him to sanitize his house etc...enough time for him to lose his hard drive however. perhaps he did not expect AR to cave as fast...

Thank you, Calidreamin! Much appreciated

I wonder if the quantity was such that it was apparent she was not alive, or if the underwear was actually Brooke's at all? I believe they were Brooke's as LE said they were.

2.) The affidavit actually mentions that Brooke was expecting to "party" with one or some boys-not go to a party. There are quite a few street definitions for that term, one of which is to have sex. If you read carefully, you will see that the party was to be later on in the day or that evening. I think "party" refers to drinking and "partying" with the fake boys including the one named, Sam. This is who Brooke thought she would be meeting that morning.

3.) I do not think that Brooke was actually expecting to attend a party at 8AM one morning, which leads me to believe that she was expecting to hook up for something else....I am not denigrating her-I think there was a chance that she expected to be "initiated...." perhaps, but maybe not with an adult male-certainly not her uncle. Brooke was told he was coming early to help set the party up and to get things ready. She obviously thought he was from out of town. (See my answer above)

Hope this helps.

My very dearest SuziQ,:blowkiss:
Thank-you for the help with making the map.
I think it is Silloway Farms, that is the sugar house. It is on Boudro road in Randolph center and it is a few minutes from Jacque's house.
Right off Crocker road.
The news reports stated she was found off Crocker road.

Thanks for your help in making the map for me.

Love and Respect,

I don't think he EVER expected her to cave.

 

[evelyn24]

And according to locals it was not only common knowledge that he was an RSO, it was common knowledge that him and his dad raped MJ's sister. There is no way you can convince me that Brooke's family didn't know those details.

Exactly. People who are friends of a friend of the Denise, and Cassanda told us of MJ's history BEFORE it was in the news, then how in the hell did the sisters (Cassandra and Denise) not know the depth of his depravity?

They knew, because it was common knowledge to everybody else around them.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

They had to know the details of the case he was convicted in, too. For Denise to ever date him is telling of her poor choices in life.

Hope this helps.

Thanks SS-I did not catch the idea at all that there was an actual party being planned; it looked like just AR and juvenile 2, Brooke and (was it?) "Sam"...

There was a flurry of phone calls between the uncle and ex step-dad the night that Brooke was reported missing. The last phone call was between 12:30 - 1:00 am....IIRC, the uncle then called LE after 1:00 am to see what the course of their investigation would be.

Betcha' that's when he decided to remove his harddrive!

Just a thought,

He must have deluded himself that nobody would check his phone or email records. He banked on the cover story being bought 100%...the police would be looking for a runaway in Texas.

But, I don't understand the point of getting AR's boyfriend's semen unless he was going to blame the BF for Brooke's death. Getting the semen was part of the planning so he had to have intended to plant it.

Either he was going to use it to keep the BF quiet or to frame him..

It seems he cam very close to killing the 18 year old, had the knife at her throat but she somehow talked him out of it.

Thanks!

It depends on what her actions were. I was willing to give her a total pass on setting up her cousin and lying about it for 4-5 days until I read the emails.

I believe she is still lying and she did not simply leave the house when Brooke politely walked upstairs with Jacques. I don't think this happened. If it was that easy he wouldn't have needed to recruit his step daughter to agree to help tie Brooke up or get somebody else's semen or create an elaborate ruse and false alibi.

It isn't her fault she identifies with Jacques but she's not 9 anymore, she's 14 now. If she helped physically assault/restrain/attack/kill/dispose of Brooke then she must be held responsible. I'm fine with trying her as a juvenile and sending her to a pyschiatric hospital. However, I don't think she will face any charges due to the prolonged abuse no matter what she did.

You're probably right, but sadly so...she should be committed to long term psychiatric care.

If this is true, then the Arizona vic could have been from Arizona not in Arizona at the time of her murder.

(snip)
At one point, Jacques told the woman that seven years before, he had killed an Arizona girl who had threatened to go to police.

That's what I said a million threads ago, but it probably got lost in all the news.
I think the girl (if it happened) was from Arizona and not necessarily killed in Arizona, or she might be from another state and MJ just said Arizona, because he did not want to give any truthful details about the crime that could come back to get him.
Again, IF what he said was the truth, it could've been a scare tactic and nothing more.

He also very quickly (IMO) led police to Brooke's items of clothing. I'm sure that in and of itself put the bullseye on him...contrary to what he had hoped.

I think it was a lie. He loves the Big Lie that aggrandizes himself. Breckenridge? Come on. Who but a psychopath with delusions of grandeur would come up with a fake sex ring and name it? What about all the BS about the African safari?

He must have been getting bored with AR and turned to fulfilling his most depraved fantasy.
