I'm not really local to it. About an hour's drive from here. A woman I used to work with lives in the area and filled me in on some scuttlebutt, but I wouldn't be comfortable doing more than I already said. Other than that there seems to be a pretty widespread belief that JF might not have been directly involved.

I am local & I've heard similar...then again, it seems this guys past was common knowledge among many.

Thanks Carbuff and LLC. Definitely changes the scenario I was thinking about. Especially the part about the possible uses for the van.
 
Been busy, no time to read back. Do we know what happened to the woman who was missing and was hospitalized? Is it related to Jaimee?
 
Family members say Jaimee Mendez was with a registered Level 3 sex offender Thursday when she called two friends to say that she was uncomfortable and wanted to leave.


"She was worried. She was freaked out. She was with this guy; he was acting weird. She wanted to get out of there," said sister Alyssa Mendez. "The guy that she called went to pick her up, and she never showed. And that's it. That's the last time anyone heard from her".

JMO, but the above makes JF a very solid POI. If not directly responsible, he has knowledge of what happened to her.

Her family have been amazing advocates, they are doing everything just right.

Prayers for a "Carlesha Freeland-Gaither" ending for Jaimee and her loved ones.

Nope ,and could be??

She was found in the hospital . It was stated she doesn't remember on facebook ,all post relating to it have gone "poof" and her sister karissa (was in the video link) is helping in the public searches for Jamie.

I am so impressed with the way Jamiee's family have been able to get stuff done so quick !
They already have a billboard, absolutely amazing!

All we need now is a LE presser!
 
RE: having a bedroom in your van. I know it sounds creepy but for many (many and women alike) it actually makes sense. NOT because they're a creepy, traveling pervert but because they live on the go. Growing up in western WA knew a lot of people that would travel up to Alaska to work seasonal jobs on commercial fishing boats and almost all of them either had a vehicle they'd use just like this, or a partner or friend who did. It's living on the cheap while raking in a *really* good wage.

I don't know if it's like this on the east coast, but it was really common on the west coast. Just wanted to throw this out there for those who might not know.

Thank you, great info to know.

Considering the anchor insignia on the back of the second van that was impounded; the his RSO profile lists commercial fishing as his profession; that his DNA has been on file for more than a dozen years; the thought that he may have gotten around and made sure his victims were never found - is the worst possible speculative scenario. Whenever you hear about women going missing, or anyone dead mysteriously, I've observed that there seems to be much speculation that attempts to distinguish the victim as unique or the circumstances. Nobody wants to feel like they could be a victim.

These creeps who rape and/or kill are uniquely inhuman, though those closer to them are always the last to see or accept, it seems to me. In Carlesha Freeland-Gaither's violent abduction, the perp's uncle was one of the few relatives I've seen on MSM who doesn't mince his words about his very bad nephew. The other person who comes to mind is Ted Kazinsky's brother who actually tipped LE to his brother's complicity, just based on the manifesto Ted had written and had been published in part to generate leads. That's a good example too of how when information is made readily available it is easier to then fill the gaps.
 
info found on the Find Jaimee Mendez facebook page, name not included
i know he used to do fishing commercial fishing does he have any friends with a boat or keep in touch with his old bosses from the boats he worked on? He's the type of person who is easily going to survive in the woods, on the water, or in the middle of the open. he's creative, smart, and has street skills, and is a professional con artist.Biggest flaw- He can't read he is dyslexic fyi...or as of 5 years ago he couldn't read at anything above a 2nd grade level so that may help too. he has street and surviving skills lets just hope he gets tired and messes up soon and Jaimee is returned safely.

Authorities temporarily suspend search for missing Swampscott mom
By Laurel J. Sweet Nov 13, '14
The search for a Swampscott mother missing since Thursday has been suspended for today to afford police an opportunity to regroup. / "Investigators will meet today to assess the search effort thus far and determine next steps," said Carrie Kimball-Monahan, spokeswoman for Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett. /Kimball-Monahan declined to say what, if anything, some 100 searchers combing the Salem Technology Park yesterday may or may not have found, citing the "active investigation."

DA: No Active Search for Missing Mass. Mom Thursday - There will be no active search Thursday for missing Mass. woman Jaimee Mendez

Mendez's family says the young, diabetic mother's sneakers were found in a dumpster behind a CVS on Eastern Avenue in Lynn, along with a piece of rug they say came from that man's minivan. Police have not confirmed that. The Mendez family says someone matching Jamiee's description was seen at that CVS, but there are still questions.
 
Not a dumb question. Suspending the search doesnt mean there isnt any hope either, or that they have reached a dead end. It could mean that the evidence they have has been processed or some of it has been and in that evidence lies some answers.

Hang in there Jaimee and hang in there family and loved ones!!!
 
While we are waiting for news, I have been thinking about the possibility of fluids on any carpeting that has been recovered. Even if there isnt blood, even if there is say urine, an awful lot of information can be obtained. Obviously, there is a chance of DNA. But, if there is fluid evidence of Jaimee in the van or on her clothing and it is (for example) urine, there is a chance that her urine will indicate where she is or was in terms of her insulin deficiency when the urine was transferred. Insulin deficiency sets off a chain reaction that eventually leaks ketones into urine, among other things. If there is enough urine to test in this fashion, it might help pinpoint how insulin deficient Jaimee was at the time.

Insulin deficiency also causes increased triglyceride and protein metabolism in skeletal muscle. This leads to increased release of glycerol (from triglyceride metabolism) and alanine (from protein metabolism) to the circulation. These substances then enter the liver where they are used as substrates for gluconeogenesis which is enhanced in the absence of insulin and the elevated glucagon. The increased rate of glucose production in the liver, coupled with the glucagon-mediated inhibition of glucose storage into glycogen results in the increased glucose release from the liver and consequent hyperglycemia. The resultant hyperglycemia produces an osmotic diuresis that leads to loss of water and electrolytes in the urine. The ketones are also excreted in the urine and this results in an obligatory loss of Na[SUP]+[/SUP] and K[SUP]+[/SUP]. The loss in K[SUP]+[/SUP] is large, sometimes exceeding 300 mEq/L/24 h. Initial serum K[SUP]+[/SUP] is typically normal or elevated because of the extracellular migration of K[SUP]+[/SUP] in response to the metabolic acidosis. The level of K[SUP]+[/SUP] will fall further during treatment as insulin therapy drives K[SUP]+[/SUP] into cells. If serum K[SUP]+[/SUP] is not monitored and replaced as needed (see below), life-threatening hypokalemia may develop

I disagree with this. If they have evidence and answers, that would speed up the search. Unless it tells them this is voluntary, that would stop the search. Since she is missing and needs her medication, I am very surprised the search has stopped.

I follow what LE says in all cases to the media and in MSM. This one is a tough one because so much in MSM is from the family. I look forward to hearing an update hopefully soon from LE.

Respectfully, I completely disagree with this. This is a pull all the stops out, damn the expense, no holes barred search effort. Stopping to regroup means that this was determined to be a voluntarily missing case? Not in my experience. And a very disheartening thing for friends and family to read here imvho.
 
That is not what I said.

I don't think she is voluntarily missing, but if I did, that is nothing wrong with saying so. Here on WS, posters can state if they think a poster voluntarily is missing. That is not against TOS and is part of sleuthing...part of what this place is about. In fact many families have not thought their loved one would voluntarily be missing and it turned out that was the case. The first case that brought me here was exactly that situation. The family said there was NO WAY he would leave his wife and child. He did. He committed suicide. It happens all the time. I did not say that she voluntarily left because I don't think she did.

No active search for missing Swampscott woman today
By Evan Allen and John R. Ellement | Globe Staff Nov 13, '14

Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett’s office, which is overseeing the search that has involved at least five law enforcement agencies, said the “active investigation’’ is ongoing, but officials would not disclose what evidence they may have discovered in recent days... Police said officers covered about two square miles of woods surrounding an office park on Technology Way in Salem, where police confirmed items belonging to Mendez were found. Mendez’s family has said those items were her cellphone and some clothing; a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation confirmed that report...Mendez’s family did not return messages left for them Wednesday, but posted updates to the Facebook page Find Jaimee Mendez, announcing that they had put up billboards about Mendez’s disappearance.

Police Teams Involved in Massive Search for Missing Mother

Morning all or should I say almost afternoon to the east coast! I'm surprised that the Find Jaimee FB page is not addressing or answering questions about a search today of their own or that police are not searching per MSM. It seems people still want to help in the absence of a police search today.

That being said... JM's sister posted on her FB 2 hrs. ago that police are searching today and so are they (paraphrasing).

I can only hope that LE have gained some knowledge or evidence that has caused them to take a day to reorganize. IMO it's the quiet before the storm.

BBM. I agree. I think they potentially found something yesterday and could be waiting on some sort of confirmation. I always feel like when LE is quiet...they have a pretty good idea of where the investigation is going or what happened. When LE is very vocal and doing a lot of press is when they need help and tips (Hannah Graham)

LYNN, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) --
Stephanie Vaczy, 35, is one of two missing women on the North Shore. She called her family from a hospital in Haverhill at 10 a.m., according to her aunt Jodi Hill. Hill says Vaczy was missing for close to two weeks. /Her aunt said she does not remember anything about the past few days and said she couldn't remember if she had any contact with the other missing woman, 25-year-old Jaimee Mendez of Swampscott. The search continues for Mendez. /On Tuesday, investigators focused on a Spring Street home in Lynn, which the state Sex Offender Registry Board lists as an address of 29-year-old Jason James Fleury, a Level 3 sex offender. Investigators towed a van from the house to the Swampscott Police Station. This is the second van they have taken; officers took another van of his over the weekend. /Officials have not named Fleury as a suspect, but Mendez's says she was with him when they last heard from her. /"We are just doing our best to find any new piece of information," said Alyssa Mendez. /Fleury's mother, who did not want to be identified, spoke exclusively to FOX 25's Ted Daniel and said Jason told her he was with Mendez the day she vanished, but claims to have nothing to do with it. /According to the Mendez family, Jaimee was last seen Thursday at around 5 p.m. at Rite Aid on Lewis Street in Lynn. /Fleury's mother said Fleury claims he dropped Mendez off there, and then immediately returned home for dinner. /"Wait for the truth to come out," his mother said. /But Mendez's family says they already know enough. Jaimee's sister says Jaimee called two friends Thursday to say she was with Fleury and that he was making her nervous. They also say a piece of rug similar to the rug in Fleury's van was found in a dumpster behind a Lynn CVS. /The Salem Police Chief said in a press conference on Thursday that the search for Mendez is "well choreographed," with K9 units going in first, then ATVs, then an organized ground search. The chief said that over 100 officers were present for the search, which could go until dark.
