OK... if RB commented on empty apartments and missing children a few weeks before JR disappeared why? WHY on earth would he be fool enough to use an empty apartment? Based on his comment alone seems like Heather would have sent police to EVERY empty apt pronto!!!! KWIM?
Something is fishy here!
or maybe he is just THAT brazen???
You are right. Why didn't LE check the vacant apartments before Monday?
IMO after RB made this comment to Heather, someone (LE, other tenants, or managers at the complex) should have stepped up and alerted the parents about this dangerous situation that existed at the complex and advised them to be extra vigilant and not allow their children outside unsupervised.
Unfortunately these words of wisdom that came from Ryan who worked on the complex and assessed the risk accurately was never conveyed to parents in the complex in a timely manner and next thing you know, an innocent child is murdered weeks later.
Here is what Heather told NG:
GRACE: We are live and taking your calls. And with us, a woman who helped the GBI crack this case, Heather Johnson Coker. And I`ve got to say, the GBI did everything right that we know of in this case, immediately turning up at the scene, going door to door, speaking to neighbors just like Heather in their search not only for Jorelys but who took her.
In the last hours, an arrest goes down. But still at this hour, Mommy separated from her two other little girls because of this incident.
With us, Heather Johnson Coker, the citizen that came forward. Heather, is it true that this guy, who apparently is wearing one of those expensive Hollister jackets -- they`re all over the malls now, apparently - - who -- at the time that he made this statement, that there`s a lot of vacant apartments on the lower level where someone could assault or attack one of the children off the playground -- was that when the other little boy in the complex went missing?
COKER: Yes. That was when the other little boy went missing. He was only missing for a couple of hours.
GRACE: OK. And what happened to him?
COKER: They found him at a friend`s house, I believe.
GRACE: OK. So that aroused everyone`s suspicion, and that is when he made the comment. Heather, let me ask you a couple of more questions. Everyone, also Heather taking your calls, as well. Heather, did you know Jorelys? Had you seen her around the complex?
COKER: Oh, I knew her very well. I saw her every day, talked to her every day. She would come over to my -- to my railing and play with my dog every time we were outside. And she was a sweet little girl. And I knew her very well and I knew her mother. And it`s just really sad that she`s gone.
GRACE: Well, I`m sad tonight also that DFACS has swooped in and taken her two other girls away because of this incident. Mommy works the night shift, correct, and is the sole supporter of three little girls?
COKER: That`s right.
GRACE: What shape is the mom in tonight, Heather?
COKER: I haven`t spoken with her today, but I know that a lot of the family members have come to be with her at this time. But as far as actually seeing her, I have not.
