Could it mean that they went to HS with him, and this year were at college with him?

No they definitely identified as being students at Standley HS. And one said she "thought" she was in a class with him in freshman or sophmore year. And that he was in choir and would stay after school to work on computers, but they just "saw him around", but didn't know him. (I think they might have been caught up in some HS rumor which would certainly go around at times like these). Although they said their HS counselors told him that the he was at their school until two days ago. Who knows?

has a myspace page, but it is private

Yes, saw his myspace. Thanks

I wonder how they got it without parental consent? As a minor, they would have had to get his legal guardian's consent.

If his mother had consented, I think she would have waited to see what the DNA screen showed rather than turning him in herself.

If his father is a convicted criminal they will have familial DNA.

You can take classes at ACC while you are still in high school. Sometimes they will do an entire course at the high school, for which students get college credit (such as a language ... there is a foreign lang. offered at a local high school that is a freshman-level college course. you have to pay tuition for it, too, but it is taught at the high school).

Or, you can just take classes in addition to your HS courses, to get a jump start. Here is the program he was said to be in: http://www.arapahoe.edu/catalog/mortuary-science-aas.htm

I don't know which it is, the press could have misunderstood something. (naw, that never happens)

he dropped out and got a GED.

JVM covering the case now

Oh my God. That poor mom. Knowing her son is responsible for this.
Having to turn him in. And now possibly human remains in her home!
I pray she has a place to be right now with those that love her.

I would have thought that was the situation, too, except that they said he got his GED. That would imply that he was no longer in high school at this point (since someone planning to stay in school doesn't normally go for a GED).

Parents seem to be the last to know what their teens are doing. The secret life of teenagers and all of that. Combine that with the number of single parent households, parents who have to work, kids who are raised in a variety of unstable situations, exposed to anything and everything, and whatever mental illness/hereditary things going on. It becomes a perfect storm.

Westminster PD posted this: "The nghbrhood around 10622 W. 102nd Ave will be closed to all but residents for the next couple of days" on their twitter

Is it common to take 2 days to process a crime scene or could this have something to do with a search for more possible victims (buried) there?

Interesting...

Do they take DNA on all criminals regardless of crime in Colorado?????

 

[momof7]

I don't agree. The loss of a precious child is much worse. Besides, I feel that on *some level* the parents (or close family/relations) of criminals are complicit. if your kid kills someone, something has gone terribly wrong in the child's upbringing or life situation and has not had the support or resources to deal with it effectively.

I disagree. Ted Bundy had an idyllic childhood. Great parents, great upbringing. Immediate/extended family support.

While most of the worst have had abusive and horribly fractured childhoods, there are just as many who did not. Who came from families who loved them and would have done anything had they had an inkling their child was a serial killer in the making.

While I do believe at this point that it is likely that the remains under the home are that of little jessica ... I will say that I absolutely understand gngr-snap's line of thought regarding serial killer.. This individual absolutely imo is displaying very specific traits imo that would be consistent with that of serial killers.. The disposal of only part of the remains in an open space while taking home with him and therefor keeping with him part of the remains of his victim..

Imo there is definite psychological thought processes that compelled him to want to keep with him part of his victim..

yah, and we only have 40 years before we have to worry about him going free and acting out his pent up fantasies.

When you look at killers like Jeffrey Dahmer and others, they do know it's wrong and they will leave clues behind. They want to be caught to a certain extent and they expect to be caught. In the back of their mind it's not if they will be caught , it's when. It's not will they re-offend, it's when.

It's like an appetite when they commit the crime, they just feed the appetite until they get hungry again, over and over. IMO he's glad he's caught.

at the very least she was not in pain/fear for very long, and did not experience the terror of what occurred to her remains.

Yes, if that in fact is the way it all went down. That poor little beautiful girl.

 

[mymadori]

Just heard on video on kdvr.com that he confessed to "hog-tying" her and then strangling her in his car...and also the reporter referenced the "torso found in the open space". Umm....that's the first time I've heard MSM come out and admit to what part(s) of her were found in the open space. It's kdvr.com...i am sure this video will be available to go back and re-watch soon for anyone who missed it.

OK just got the chance to post and I read through the last thread. Someone posted a youtube link to a video by what looks like an artist who has songs with a Christian theme. When I saw the red graffiti at the Pattridge Park Open Space across from where Jessica's body was found, there were words in red spray paint spelling out "bled your love" and a mod posted another link to photos with a red spray painted cross at the same location. The photos were posted here and then removed by the poster. "Bled your love" gives me results to a Christian theme band and album. The letters were the same as the "s" on the cross. I will post the photo if I have permission. I copied it with a screen shot. I think this perp is the one who painted that stuff at the abandoned structure and he hung out there to do stuff. He is messed up with a conflict between God and Evil, IMO. Sorry, I don't normally make extreme judgments about perps and their psychology.

I am so happy there will be justice. Now, where is the rest of her? RIP Jessica xoxoxo

 

[~n/t~]

But we don't know that they had tips pointing to him, do we?

No we don't. I said "if" and IMO they did. He confessed and I'm predicting he knew they were onto him. It was just a matter of time.

Growing evidence that brain injury/abnormality can be a factor in these types of crimes.

The fact is that kids who grow up in reckless type homes can be more liable to these types of injuries, even in the womb perhaps.

We are just beginning to understand but it's faulty wiring aggravated by some sort of stressor.

 

[Madeleine74]

I'm not sure I believe this kid when he says he strangled her in the car--makes me wonder if he's trying to minimize the horror of what he did (not that it really could be minimized).
