It seems as though the pace of the discussions slowed a bit once the speculation was made that MAS and Jaren may have been casual acquaintances with TCS being in the picture since he hooked up with MAS. That would easily change some of the scenarios, especially those involving a premeditated hunt for a "victim". If the three knew each other from working in close proximity in the FQ, which is very likely, then why did LE need to ask the public for help in identifying MAS and TS in the Temptations video? This is where I think Jaren's case becomes just the tip of the iceberg- an mass of ice involving illegal drugs, possibly prostitution, and associations with organized crime that comes with life in a Bourbon St. strip club. That would explain a hesitance on the part of those from their scene to have identified the last two people seen with Jaren prior to the release of the video on the news. It would also explain why the Temptations dancer, whose conversation I overheard in line at a store in Metairie, was worried about her safety and was quitting her job at the club, in spite of the fact that MAS and TS were being held in jail in Tangipihoa(sp?).
And that might help solve other crimes linked to FQ dancers and/or TS's past and place MAS as only a minor character in a story much bigger than any she has ever created.
I think answers to three questions already posted in these threads would really help to move the case along. Had Jaren ever been to a specific location on the MS coast with other dancers or MAS before? If Jaren and her fiance were battling some drug dependencies, were they getting any from MAS or TS? And did Jaren carry any kind of knife for self protection?
