CO - Jessica Ridgeway, 10, Westminster, 5 Oct 2012 - #3

[Seek&Find]

It was the aunt who said that when she stays at Jessica's house, she sleeps in the lower bunk bed.

The grandmother is on the property tax rolls as the owner of the house.

That was the great aunt, not the aunt. The aunt was the young blonde behind mom that said Jessica is her mini-me. Initial reports were aunt does live there. Haven't seen that corrected by LE or in MSM. Has anyone else?

Argh, I made a mistake. I was referring to Jessica's father and I thought his name was Jeremy. My bad, I'm sorry.

The correct info is that his name is Jeremiah and someone was holding his hand during the interview.

my bad; they did call her father, Jeremy....and you are right, everyone in the front row was holding hands...

Thank you. I got confused on who was who but I did know that it was not grandma who sleeps on the bunk bed.

I think it is time for me to go to bed.

There was alot of confusion because of a transposed house number for the Ridgeways. Bad info was 10768, when the correct addy was 10786 Moore. The house is approx 3 blks....the near addy for the park is 10767.

I measured it as about 500 ft from Jessica's house to the park using Google maps. Houses are packed tightly together in that neighborhood and the street layout is nothing like a standard urban grid.

do you agree looking at the correct address numbers that her house would be no more than roughly 10 houses from the park?

They don't work? The grandmother doesn't appear retirement age. Nothing is said of their being there that morning. Just trying to place everyone. thanks!!

ETA what time did the mom call 911? TIA!!

They may both work, I don't know. But I think that when they heard that Jessica was missing, they dropped everything and went to Sarah's house. JMO.

I could be wrong and I'll look for the link, but I think it was Sarah's aunt who says she stays in the bottom bunk when she visits. Sarahs aunt was in the video, not jessica's aunt.

I believe Sarah, Jessica, Jessica's aunt and Jessica's grandma all reside in the home. I'm off to double check. If someone finds it first, please link. Ty

I thought I saw a followup on this saying they removed several items from the home. Can someone please help me find the post? TIA!!

I to had this mixed up, I thought great aunt was the aunt. I thought the young blonde was a cousin or something.

Maybe time for me to go to bed to, lol.

I know you didn't ask me, but I pulled up the map posted, I counted and I counted the houses in the left side if the street leading away from the park, there are less than 10 houses.

This is interesting to read, because I had to go back and watch the raw interview again because I thought maybe I saw the wrong thing. I just saw a family who really wanted their Jessica back.
Sarah strikes me as a bit simple and very caring. She mixed up words and her family helped her correct herself. The family waited for Dad to make a unified statement- that doesn't scream "custody battle" to me- I'm guessing the hearing he attended Friday was more likely about income and child support, which makes more sense as to why Mom wouldn't have attended the hearing (for actual child custody it seems to me jurisdiction would be in Colorado, because that is Jessica's residence).

I have little girls too, and while they are much younger than Jessica, it is a running joke to say they are the age they are "going on 30". When S---- said Jessica wanted to be a teenager- seems perfectly normal to me, and something all of my friends have said about their daughters at one point or another. She didn't seem defensive- just talking about how independent her daughter is. She gave her kid a little bit of leash- to walk to school- and I think she has a right to feel defensive about it. I think Mom's want approval for the things we do that seem normal (and letting a 10 year old walk 3 blocks to school in a safe neighborhood with friends- what could be more normal?)- because I think the really GOOD Mom's DO question themselves a lot. It's part insecurity, part trying to figure it out as you go- it's trying to LEARN rather than say "I'm the perfect Mom".

When I watched the interview, I heard a single Mom who yes, has support, but who also craves approval for the choices she makes. She seemed genuine and like she is trying to improve her life- going back to school, living at home with mom, working a full time job. I just couldn't find it in me to think they are responsible for this tragic situation but that's just my opinion, of course.

Did anyone catch NG?
NG didn't seem to point fingers at the family- isn't she usually first on that bandwagon?

Jessica's aunt, Sarah's sister, Rebecca, was in the back row. That's why Christine (grandma) was joking that Sarah got her sister as her child (since Jessica is Rebecca's mini-me), rather than herself as so many do.

I have been on a self-imposed time out. This case seems to be getting the better end of me.

Praying for Jessica and her family.

Here is an article on who lived in the home.


The girl lives with her mother, grandmother and aunt at 10768 Moore Street in the town of nearly 13,000.

More or less. It's a tenth of a mile, probably a 2-3 minute walk.
