I have always thought that there was an element of jealousy to this crime. By that I mean that MAS may have professed to known or liked Jaren but deep inside she was quite jealous.
Consider the fact that MAS wanted to be a part of the French Quarter scene and her laughable attempts at being a model. Let's face it, she wasn't pretty and never would be "model" material. I am sure that MAS would have loved to have been a dancer and make that good money and have guys openly admiring her.
The best she could do was to glom onto a sex-offender who was on the run and looking for a place to hide. Even with that, he still wanted "a treat", so obviously MAS wasn't completely satisfactory to TS. Obviously he wanted something more, something better. MAS was definitely involved in luring Jaren.
Even women who consent to threesomes or open relationship often report that they became jealous of the situation and it caused issues ( I am not at all saying that Jaren was consensual in this, i am just focusing on the mindset of MAS) . I have no doubt that MAS did not like Jaren, had no loyalty to her and MAS was highly jealous of Jaren.
Let's face it, Jaren was gorgeous and she had a beautiful smile and a personality that won her many friends. She was popular and loved. She could make hundreds a night by dancing. In short, she was everything that MAS wished she could be.
MAS may have protested that Jaren was a "friend" but i can guarantee you that she NEVER did anything to help save Jaren. I feel she openly participated in whatever sick and twisted stuff went down.
MAS's actions after Jaren's death speak volumes.
If Jaren was a friend, why didn;t she go to police and tell what she knew. If she was innocent and not involved in Jaren's death, what did she have to hide?
If she did not do anything to Jaren but TS did (I don't believe this at all but lets just play "what if") then WHY would MS stay with a man who has killed and dismembered a woman? Any other person would be scared to death, but MAS continued to protect him with her silence, even after he was apprehended and sent away for to prison for a few years.
And what did MS and TS do after Jaren was killed? They fled their home claiming eviction (a proven lie as it was her late grandmother's house that she lived in). Then she shut down her facebook page and attempted to erase herself from the internet. Then she and TS dyed their hair a different color (albiet in bizarre bright colors that stood out!!)
When finally apprehended, MS pretty much refused to speak. She gave a few people (such as one of Jaren's family members) a lame story of not remembering anything from that night because she had eaten bad seafood and had food poisoning. Has anyone here eaten bad food? Did it cause you to lose your memory? Heck no, in fact the results were probably unforgettable with cramps, vomiting and diarrhea!
So perhaps MS might say she was drugged and knew nothing of what occurred? Nope, not possible. She was there to help lure Jaren to their car, she was there to help the coverup. She knew why TS wanted Jaren and she helped him get that. She knew they were the last ones to see Jaren before Jaren washed up in pieces in Mississippi. Obviously something very bad happened and her man was involved.
MS reacted to this by staying with her man, going on the run with him and spouting the lies about where they were. Hardy an innocent woman who knew nothing of what happened. Sounds more like a completely guilty party trying to cover their own azz along with their man.
Everything points to her (and TS's) guilt. Circumstantial perhaps, but also quite telling, considering that Jaren was someone that MAS claimed as a "friend". MAS had plenty of tears for herself when she was in jail, falling to the floor and sucking her thumb and crying for her daddy but NONE for Jaren. Nope, no sympathy or concern for Jaren. Heck, I didn't even know Jaren and the details of her death had me in horrified tears
Justice has been a long time coming. Through this I have come to know many of Jaren's friends. I have joined their online group of Jaren's friends who want justice for Jaren. Their love and loyalty to her is touching.
To this day, they still maintain a memorial spot for her with a cross on the beach (about a week ago some hs kids took that cross but it will be replaced and they are gathering to honor Jaren and their thankfulness for the arrest of MAS). I have not intruded upon them and I respect their privacy and I am just a quiet member of their group who supports their quest and I have learned more about Jaren and how very much she was loved.
I am SO thankful that MAS has finally been charged. Jaren's case is one that is so close to my heart, even though I did not know her. You just have no idea how happy i am over this arrest. I was so freaking happy that my family came running to see what my exuberant and thankful reaction was about.
RIP Jaren, justice is finally coming.
