IN - James Chadwell II, 42, arrested after girl 9, found in his home, Lafayette, 19 Apr 2021 #3

On a positive note about this whole thing is if JBC is the scum we are looking for in Abby and Libbys case perhaps the 9 year old girl would be eligible for the reward. Perhaps a small bit of good for a story with nothing but bad.

Here is a link to JBCs Facebook banner photo people were discussing, if you want to check for the knife:

Looks like a guitar pick to me.

I agree 100% Just recently the husband to one of my close friends was arrested for a rape that was committed in back in 2000. The moment I heard of his arrest I went into shock. His bail was set at 1 million dollars!

After reading an article that went into detail which he admitted to, I am still dumbfounded! Never in a million years would I defend him or what he has done but I have remained silent about this on any platfor until now. Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since his arrest.

People who find out people are monsters should do into shock. Yes I can see some defending their loved ones but I can also see the side of it where people have no idea what to think (like myself) so they don't say anything because of guilt.

I have so much guilt like many of my other friends like we should have realized something was off but we had no idea. I have training in analyzing people when I am conducting interviews of loved ones who are related to/ know someone who is missing.

How his family came right out and said what they did without even being in a state of shock or denial is very alarming in itself to me!

When I was young, I was on the bus returning from work, and a woman at the front of the bus was being very chatty with the driver. Even at my young age I recognized someone in mental disarray. I couldn't help but tune in. Turns out she was married to a notorious local rapist who had been active for a number of years and was responsible for likely over 20 rapes. I got the feeling she didn't actually have a mental disorder per se, but was having a natural dissociative response to the shock and trauma of learning what he had done.

I grew up in a small town in the Ozarks, some boys whittled, but I don't recall anyone that young with knives, especially around other young children. Boys I knew that whittled didn't start until 11/12, nowhere near that young. If it is a knife in his picture, that's very alarming to me that he was allowed to have a knife at that age, especially around other children, and his brother whom he tried to drown when he was 4. I can't see if it's a knife or not because I don't have facebook and it puts a large banner over the bottom part of the picture, which is why I really wish people could post the picture they are referring to.

If you click on the banner and “Open link on a new tab,” the full size photograph will open in that new tab. Then, you can go to that tab and see the knife.

I wonder how many Delphi POIs LE are/have taken a look at based on their criminal and violent backgrounds. This guy could be a JC in the making, several similarities apart from attacking a 9 year old.

Did JBC ever live near Abbigale or Libby back in 2017 ?

To me the phrase "Guys down the hill" struck me as something someone would say that knew the party they were saying it to. Not like a stranger telling someone to "GET" down the hill or something to that effect. Maybe he didn't have internet access at the time or didn't want to use it. I heard somewhere that around that time February 2017 he didn't post for a good month so maybe he had access. I don't know. Or didn't want to use it. And if he knew Abbigale or Libby may not of wanted to be traced talking to them on-line, knowing it might be traced.

Did anyone check Snapchat to see if he has an account?

This is where I am confused.

His girlfriend took out a restraining order in 2011-against him.

And he got married ---albeit briefly---in 2012.

So I think he was paroled in 2011, but was arrested again in 2015:

12/6/10: Warrant issued for return to custody (Source: Public Access to Court Electronic Records | PACER: Federal Court Records
1/12/11: Memorandum in request of release Public Access to Court Electronic Records | PACER: Federal Court Records
1/18/2011: appears he was paroled Public Access to Court Electronic Records | PACER: Federal Court Records
10/8/2015: Parole hearing (appears granted to transition to Indiana) https://boardsandcommissions.sd.gov/bcuploads/ParoleBoardDecisionsOctober2015.pdf

I can offer some of the documents I located. There still may be information that hasn’t been located for 2011/2012 but below is what I was able to find. I highlighted what I found of interest. Is it possible the 2015 parole board links are related specifically to a request made to move out of the state? Maybe a verified attorney can chime in with a perspective.

This is what I was mentioning.
That's why you joined right? That's what you said.
This is just so off somehow.
Something is not right. Those nails are groomed and for a very long time for a girl of her age.
Makes me super uncomfortable.

Lots of 5 year old girls get the little press on fake nails, makes them feel grown up. Not a big deal, IMO.

I agree. Also... lots of little boys have a pocket knife. Mine did and he’s not a rapist, pedophile or killer. Some people are really stretching here for ominous signs, IMO.

Yes some boys do have pocket knives however the fact that he uses that picture as his banner says a lot to me.

Attempted murder defendant investigated for ties to Delphi murders
The article sited doesn't say that though.

If you click the source, it's just a news article from April 27th that doesn't actually quote LE claiming he is a POI. Just that they're looking into it.

One last detail on the FB photo banner, the shirt JBC II is wearing literally has the word "campground" on it.

What is the significance?

 

[Inthedetails]

This has been my primary thought as well....

Why is NO ONE coming forward... to share some facts,..or just get some limelight...

This is one of the strangest thoughts I have so far... that no one is speaking out...including updates from LE.
I am sensing there is pressure coming from nLE to stay quiet... which does me to lead that there is much more going on besides the kidapping of the 9 year old girl.

I think so too. LE has been good, imo, at keeping people from gabbing online and to the press all along. Make sense they would tell any new people coming forward to stay quiet during the investigation.

Because of some quotes in social media accounts about disappearing camping and woods.

One of my points was/is they do not look like press on nails to me.
I'm a female, have a daughter and granddaughters. We've all done the press on nails. Those don't look like press ons to me.

Chadwell was involved in jail fight and needed medical treatment
Lafayette accused child abductor needs medical treatment after fight
He may have been ok in jail before because his crimes were not against children but this is going to be so bad for him now.

Not even the slightest bit surprised.

The guy fights without hesitation.

I suspect he will fight in jail again.
