CA CA - Susan Jacobson, 59, Sun City/Roseville, 2 May 2013 - #1

[nikb]

O/T but so sad, another gentleman missing in this general area. I shouldn't have posted earlier about no one else missing locally! This is maybe 20 minutes from where Susan went missing depending on traffic, although I doubt it's related. CA CA - John Nevitt, 81, Carmichael, CA. At Risk Missing. - Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community. This really sounds like he probably wandered off. I hope so. Also hope he continues to get LE and media attention until he is FOUND.

Back to Susan, where are you?

I think with his age and the fact that he has dementia will propel the communities to look for him, as opposed to a 59 year old woman named Susan Jacobson who is missing with little community support.

At this point, with the time that has passed, I'm feeling more and more like she's not with us anymore. She would need food, shelter, clothing, things to subsist and she has none of that as per when she disappeared.

 

[Psychedelia]

There are plenty of people who would find a wallet, take the cash and maybe the credit cards out of it, and then throw it someplace. What I'm saying is that if she left on purpose, she could have left everything in her car, allowing someone to steal the wallet and take what they wanted out of it. I know people who have gotten wallets returned with just the cash missing, etc. It's a red flag to me that no one tried to use the credit cards.

The way the scene was left doesn't sound like her, though. Sounds like she wouldn't walk around with just her wallet in her hand, nor would she leave her purse in the car, whether it was locked or unlocked. NOR would she leave her car unlocked in the first place. If someone grabbed her while her car was unlocked, she'd either have her purse in her hand and the scene would be a mess with the contents spilled, or the purse would also be missing.

Most perps who would rob someone at gunpoint while in their car would take off with the purse/wallet and not the person. Or they would have taken the car, too - either with the person or without. This screams of staging to me. Staging by someone who knew where she shopped and parked but forgot a few little details...

This really reminds me of both Katrina Smith and Jennifer Ramsaran - way too many similarities. Not intending to point fingers - JMO. As with the others, I feel bad for the children

It's possible she was abducted from her car, leaving her purse behind. Later someone could have seen the purse and removed the wallet, taking the credit cards and cash and discarding the wallet.

 

[southsleuth]

With the lack of information available, LE included, I am also of the opinion that Susan never went to the shopping center that day either. Something isn't adding up IMO.

Where are her car keys? As far as I know, her keys were not found.
If her car keys were left in the car, unlocked with purse present, that's a golden opportunity for grand theft auto. But the perp didn't want that.
Those keys are missing, and they are missing for a reason.
That wallet with ID was placed/thrown there for a reason.
The proximity of the wallet and car, in my opinion, was a thought out plan.
Why would a person steal her wallet out of the car, then drop it in that location? If there were cameras available in that particular area, that would alert LE to the fact of this perp on camera just stole Susan Jacobson's wallet, as that is pretty Dumb to leave her ID present with the car in the parking lot. That would also mean breaking and entering a vehicle (although unlocked) as well.
Why didn't the perp just drive off with the car? Who is to say that she even drove herself to the shopping center?
It's not the car they wanted.
And the credit cards. They could have been taken out of the wallet at home or elsewhere. Just because there were no credit cards in the wallet does not mean that they were there previously. It is an assumption that those cards were there that morning and stolen. Just like it is an assumption that those cards weren't in her wallet to begin with. The same with the cash. If she drove herself to the shopping center and wanted to purchase items, she would have to do so with cards or cash, (if she drove herself there).
There just isn't Enough Information available to the public.
What LE knows, they are Not releasing, like where the car was parked, how many doors were unlocked, where was her purse, how was the seat positioned, etc, what do the VIDEOS show? Who is on the video?? Who is Not on the video??
IMOO.

 

[Janeumayer]

Another reason for the missing money and cards would be for them not to be stolen. They were never in the wallet to begin with.

Bingo!
And the car keys?
Maybe so the car wouldn't be stolen either??
But planted there just the same........
IMOO.

I hope you're right. I honestly can't believe the lack of community support for finding Susan! Yes some of us - WS and locals - really want to find her but should it really be so difficult to try to help? I don't understand why there's not a lot more support out there for Susan. I'm not blaming anyone, I just don't understand it.

 

[Mahouston69]

The news report said the family hired a PI, does anyone know who that might be?

 

[Eileen730]

His words remind me of Remy Ramsaran.

I have to agree with you !

 

[sophiebelle]

I stated waaay back in the thread that the wallet being found where it was was odd to me. If her things were in the car, all the perp had to do was grab and run. If they or he just wanted to rob her, then grab the purse and run. I don't see anybody digging in her purse for a wallet while it's in the car either. I don't see somebody taking the time to stand there going through the wallet, and risk somebody seeing him. Yet it's all left there except what would be taken by a thief. If they had Susan, they would not being going through the wallet while dragging her behind them. It's staged in my mind. Grab and go!

 

[scmom]

I don't believe Susan disappeared herself, so we are left to speculate on why and where she is missing. Abduction by a stranger is as plausible, at this time, as a staged abduction. Why would anyone abduct a woman they don't know? Why would a woman who was, from what we've been told by her son, eagerly looking forward to the birth of her first grandchild leave without seeing this baby? Maybe I'm more inclined to believe in a stranger abduction in this case because I've read what her son has told all of us here about the relationship between his parents.
Maybe, too, because I know of abductions by strangers here in SC.

I am unable to read your second link.
It is scary that there are so many abductions out there, and attempted abductions.

I don't know why it's not working, but it's a story from a Columbia, SC newspaper about Dail Dinwiddie, a 23 year old college student who disappeared in 1992.

This is OT and totally unlike Susan's case, but I watched part of a "Snapped" episode where the victim was a 50-something year-old woman, who was attacked in a parking lot, stabbed sixteen times in fact and the question was, partly, why would a random attacker go after this particular victim and not even rob her? So it reminded me of Susan as her age group is not a common one for random criminal attacks. Anyway, of course it was NOT random on the show. She was set-up to be attacked.

I was so surprised to see that news story last night on the local CBS affiliate in Sacramento. Scaling back the investigation really surprised me?? The investigation has been invisible so far, so scaling back from what? At least a couple of times there was mention of not even a "single" lead in the case? Wow. I'm starting to wonder why the City of Roseville is not getting the message out for people to be more aware of their surroundings, no matter what time they are conducting business in the community. There is a missing woman in the city, and you would think there is no concern at all given the lack of messaging from City officials...

Ditto to all you wrote. This is not the reaction I expected from Roseville. Susan Jacobson is a member of this community and she is missing! At what point did that become acceptable here? I kept hoping that the silence from LE was purposeful, that they were following a strong lead that required it. Apparently not. Increasing awareness, being vocal, and focusing attention on the case are the things that will help get leads. What purpose was there in doing the exact opposite?

Sorry one more quick O/T but he was found, thank goodness!

This is quite honestly what I thought would happen with Susan, maybe take a little longer but I thought she'd be found and home safe pretty quickly. I can't believe she's not home.
