Jackazz. His parent's home is decent, looks like they worked hard for what they have & this jerk just pooped down their necks. My heart goes out to his parents as well as Jessica's family.

Anyone know why there would be 2 separate, but the same, charges for the same murder?

 

[BD1]

Is his home in a well to do neighborhood? It looks very mid to upper middle class. I'm wondering where the rest of the body is.

fox news: he had a desire to be a mortician

ugh, a cooler under the back deck

Looks like this kid waived and spoke. Thank goodness.

We are looking at a true monster. A serial killer in the making. So frightening.

Reporting that he had a desire to be a mortician. YEEPS!

 

[nursebeeme]

confessed to mother?? per fox news live

 

[thess]

Can't believe I missed the arrest (housecleaning no less). Catching up with thread. This must be a relief for the town.

 

[Hopeful One]

Late to the game here - what picture of the suspect is everyone talking about with the necklace?

I looked and can't find it but this thread is flying. TIA!

 

[SurfieTX]

?Rumor that he confessed to his mother? (That's what the broadcaster said)

fox news: he had a desire to be a mortician

How eerie. Seriously.

 

[Yellow]

They really didn't say anything at the presser. They are showing the home on HLN now.

They did not confirm if he turned themselves in and it appears all affidavits, etc are sealed.

If it is true that mom turned him in, I imagine she must have given DNA like toothbrush bc otherwise they would not have made an arrest so fast

It seems from presser that they are in very early stages of investigation, so it seems to me that it is not circumstantial evidence that led to arrest but forensic. but LE is not saying ANYTHING about any of that,

Does anyone have a link to that map that was posted several days back, buried deep in all the posts, of where her walking-to-school friend lived? The one that seemed like it surely wasn't possible because it seems like it was farther than was practical, given the location of the school.

The address shown in the arrest record looks to be near there, if I remember what that location looked like in relation to Jessica's house.
