CO - Jessica Ridgeway, 10, Westminster, 5 Oct 2012 - #2

Thanks for your insight. I hadn't considered it from a case integrity viewpoint. It makes sense that LE wouldn't want a bunch of volunteers trampling on possible evidence.

I hadn't either, Marilynilpa. Thanks Sarx!

Considering how many sex offenders live in the vicinity, the chances are actually pretty good they are NOT related.

Considering how many sex offenders seem to be on every street corner in the States, it is quite miraculous more children don't disappear.

The reality is that most sex offenders are not murderers. (They should still be locked up forever in many cases IMO)

WESTMINSTER, Colo. - As the search for 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway intensified Monday, at least four FBI agents, working in teams of two, were going door-to-door in the girl's Westminster neighborhood asking people if they could search their homes and vehicles.

7NEWS reporter Lance Hernandez talked with residents who said they voluntarily let the agents search their property. The agents were talking with residents two blocks south of the Ridgeway's home.

When was the info. on the Arvada suspect made public?

For some of you who missed it, according to CBI web site:

http://sor.state.co.us/?SOR=offende...ity=&zip=80021&county=&sort=NAM&Search=Search

...there is an RSO living just around the corner from 10786 Moore St. His address is 10714 Moore Circle. If you google map it to street view, he would have a direct view of Jessica's walking route to school from his front yard....

I google walked her route to the park. From my best judgement, if mom stood at the end of her driveway and watched Jessica until she was out of sight, she would have been able to see her until she reached the yard with the high fence and big swing set. It is about a block and a half down the street. There is where the road curves and so Jessica would have been no longer visible. Also, distance wise, I was able to see a truck parked at that section of the road from the front of the family home (in google world it is a white suburban-looking vehicle, just for reference). At that point, Jessica only needed to walk an additional half block to reach the park. She should have been visible to anyone at the park from that vantage point. There have to be witnesses. It is such a small section of road and very heavily settled.

Just thinking about how quickly a child can disappear... It's not fair...

I think I got it right this time

this is a picture of the house a couple down from Jessica's that police are at; wonder if it is the RSO's place?

This really bites very very frustrating

We need to stay open to the possibility of an alternative timing scenario. The possibility exists that Jessica left home a few minutes late that morning, and when she arrived at the meeting place her classmates had already left the park without her. (Keep in mind it was unusually cold that morning so the other kids may have been in a hurry to get moving). At that point, alone in the park, she continued on and walked alone toward school, along the normal route they take each day.

Under this scenario, all the known facts in the case, so far, would still be equally possible. Her being seen by a witness walking toward the park, the children reporting she never showed up at the park. Her never reaching school. This scenario opens up a much larger area where her abduction could have taken place, well beyond the 3 block walk from her front door to the park. Hopefully LE is doing a house to house along the entire route to school, not just the 3 block route from her front door to the park.

GMTA! I just did the same thing and was about to post something similar. Was the classmate/friend(s) she was meeting already there, or was she going to be arriving at the park before them? If they were already there, then this really does not leave much time if at all for someone to have taken her. Did anyone hear screaming or yelling or any other type of commotion during the time she is presumed to have gone missing? Something is just not adding up for me...

Police are looking at a house two doors from Jessica's house (from the tweet above).

Is this one of the RSO's??

No I do not believe so, he lives right off Moore Circle, about three house's down from Jessica and then north two on the right roughly..

No, they are going house to house in a 3 block radius and asking if they can search. Think this is what the pic is ...

And here's another abduction attempt. This one 104 miles from Westminster, on Sept 14th, of a 14 yr old girl. http://www.coloradoconnection.com/news/story.aspx?id=800991#.UHNQya5YWSo

Sorry to quote myself.. Wanted to note that the child enticement attempts were almost a full month ago, YET LE JUST NOW RELEASED THIS SUSPECT SKETCH YESTERDAY!..

IMO that leads me to believe its not merely coincidental that this sketch was released yesterday(2days after Jess's abduction)..moo is that lE sees this as a good possibility of being connected and thats exatly what prompted the sketch being released yesterday...kwim?

**thanks to perpetual curiosity for linking the suspect sketch**

Actually, this sketch has been out there a while. Below is a story from September 14 that includes that sketch.

http://denver.cbslocal.com/2012/09/...ase-sketch-in-child-enticement-investigation/

IMO I don't believe there is any indication that LE thinks this suspect is responsible for Jessica's abduction.

 

[cluciano63]

Why are they doing the door-to-door searching now? Why not the past three days?

 

[vasportsmom]

It probably does explain,why he has not come to CO to help find Jessica...

He probably is very limited in where he is allowed to go...

JMO

It really pains me to think that this father could be forbidden from traveling to CO, to be forced to miss out on hearing any info that LE has to offer the family and ask questions face to face because of this conviction and probation. DV is a terrible crime. One that he deserves to be punished for without a doubt but if he wants to be on his daughter's home turf during this time I hope somebody in the probation dept will have the heart to make it happen.

** now I only know what has been reported about his criminal history and I'm assuming he isn't a repeat offender since he was offered diversion. If I'm incorrect there I would have to rethink the above based on that new info.
