Howell did indeed have someone come to his place under that exact circumstance, but when checked, it was determined that this WASN’T Jacob Wheeler who had blood on him and wanted to use Howell’s phone. We don’t know who it was. But it wasn’t Jake.
WOW maybe the whole 3rd person thing is falling into place!!
Maier said that his department is checking leads that Wheeler was seen AFTER the suspected time of death (the coroners report indicated that when Evans was found, she could have been deceased for as long as 24 to 48 hours, meaning she could have died any time between Saturday afternoon or Sunday afternoon), but nothing so far has been confirmed.
I can't get the meth outta my head. Meth labs in houses that are confiscated suggest larger quantities of ingredients in bulk instead of buying a few bottles of cough syrup or ephedrine products. People that make it from allergy tabs & small bottles of ammonia usually mix it in empty soda bottles somewhere nobody else is but the people they're getting high with. Manufacturing meth in a house suggests to me that it's cooked on a stove & larger quantities of ammonia would be used. In such a rural area, there'd have to be a major fertilizer manufacturer around. Something's just itching me, I can't place it...
In the pics on his FB he was wearing what looked like a uniform. It has his name Jake and then Brown's on left side. Former military, I'm guessing a security job of some kind.
****As far as wild animals...besides humans, the only critters normally found in this area that would be a threat is a cottonmouth/water moccasin...venomous snake. There may be big cats of some kind....occasionally, but I would think they would be just as afraid of you as you are them. Maybe if there was food left out, etc. Since the migration of the wild hog, that may be a reality also, but I haven't lived there for very long time and hopefully you can comment more on this 88? .....AND there was a supposed sighting in Murphysboro awhile back of BIGFOOT. lol (directly west...almost to the Miss River) TIA
If someone came to my house in the middle of the night with blood on them Id be asking questions, has there been a wreck etc and called 911.
Little known fact: After the last ice age, the glacier stopped in S IL. All the boulders and earth it carried were dumped there causing giant hills, cliffs, etc. Beautiful....and such a diverse area of land after miles of miles of flat farmland that covers 90% of the state.
Did he report this before the story broke or after?? Sometimes people like to inject themselves in to the news. KWIM?
According to the article's editors, he reported it as soon as he heard about the 2 missing people on Monday.Did he report this before the story broke or after?? Sometimes people like to inject themselves in to the news. KWIM?
Also on some of his pics he has a work shirt on that says Brown's. There is a Brown Feed and Chemical that comes up for the Carmi area. That kind of fits into the meth theory.

WHAT???
Did he let the guy use his phone? What did he say other than needing to use phone? How many people answer their door to a man with blood on them and not ask questions???
WHY didn't someone call 911 right then???
So Strange....if he made a call, what did he say to person he was calling???
I really don't think it's fair to accuse him of making meth just because he may or may not have worked for a farm supply company. Both my father and my father in law do as well. That doesn't automatically make them meth manufacturers.
And I doubt that anyone kidnapped him to get meth materials.
A)They would have to know who he was and where he worked.
B) They would have to know exactly where and when they would be camping.
C)It's just too complicated and risky. It would be much easier for them just to go steal some stuff themselves. Meth makers don't want to do things that put them at risk of being found out. They break into homes and businesses when no one is around to take things. I've never heard of anyone being abducted and forced to give up their farm chemicals or cold medicine.
I agree.
Wanted to note that when I asked about supply companies or manufacturers, it was in regard to larger quantities being available - not to imply Jacob did anything like that. I'm not familiar with meth labs, only info from Philly DEA & local sP when they have information meetings for us parents through a task force held at our local hs here. Iow, they teach us what go look for so we're more aware. I'm still learning as I go along.
But in noting what I have been made aware of - usually when a house is confiscated due to meth, 9 x out of 10 it was cooked on a stove using larger quantities. The more popular lab now is the shake & bake method in a car or private area like a public bathroom stall. this is why I had so many questions regarding the area.
Thanks so much you guys for educating me, actually all of us.
