Found Deceased MA - Jaimee Mendez, 25, Swampscott, 6 Nov 2014 - #1 *Arrest*

[FindHG]

I hate to say it, but I am starting to think JF may not have been involved in this either. She obviously hung around shady people as it is... And she was involved with drugs. I still think she may have OD'ed and whoever she was with panicked. But, won't know for sure until more evidence is discovered.

That being said, something about that article with JF's interview struck me as odd. It said the family last saw her after 6:30? And he says he picked her up an hour prior to that. So if they did the deal, maybe she had someone else (the drug dealer maybe) take her home so she could grab stuff (like her phone charger), then they left together to go get high. Maybe that's who she was with when she placed the call (how could she have called someone while in JF's presence??). Just saying, we very well may be focusing our attention in the wrong direction.

So, I'm trying to imagine how she would call for help as she OD'd?

I was thinking about that too. Like I said in my prior post, we don't know when she called her friends or what time she asked them to meet her. Perhaps she got high after placing the call (either voluntarily or forced)? Dying from diabetes or drug overdose was purely speculation - but fits with the few clues we have. I'm still hoping she's still alive though, even if it doesn't seem likely.... :/

So many things could have happened...so many things rolling around in my head.

Personally, I think all of the families know more than they are saying & may be trying to paint a better picture...

I saw a post on one of the FB pages (think it was the sister's), thanking someone for the money & smokes to get them through...
Soon after...their father, "guaranteed" on the donation site that he would personally see that all donations would "not be wasted" & he would "make sure every penny went to her son & no one else."

Let me go grab the page...this whole things gets stranger by the minute.

Sounds like the dad wasn't happy that the sister was getting personal donations.... Or maybe someone complained....

Especially money for smokes.

 

[Soulmagent]

so either she returned home (or to wherever her charger was located) or JF is lying about not seeing her once she left his car...Correct?

I take my car charger with me (well before it was lost) .Maybe he wouldnt let her charge her phone . I dont see the car charger being found friday as leading to this guys telling the truth.

He could have stole it from her and knowing her phone was dying trying to wait her out.

I also do not understand why we are believing the admitted herion user/convicted So about any drug buy.

I saw the post where Alyssa thanked a personal friend for helping search her and buying her lunch and smokes. That was early in the week. I do not think it had to do with donations.

Officials meet on next steps in search for Jaimee Mendez

We know Jaimee Mendez was with the RSO. We know she felt fear caused by him. We know she was able to call two friends to raise the alarm that she felt unsafe, and that she identified who that person was. One of those people she called went to get her where Jaimee Mendez said she would be, somewhere near the RSO's Spring Rd former residence. The friend gets there and Jaimee Mendez is not there. Her phone no longer answers. There is no sign of her. The Mendez family is soon alerted to these events and immediately begin their search. They show up to the RSO's house. They see fresh scratches marks on his face. The RSO denies knowing where she is, of course. The Mendez see his van set up like a bedroom. The next day it has been cleaned of all the bedroom material. The Mendez keep at it and Jaimee's mom finds a piece of carpeting from the RSO's van and Jaimee's shoes, all very near the RSO's house. The police then begin their search and soon find her cell phone, broken to the point of having it's memory chip damaged so no information can be pulled from it. The area where they find these items is just across the woodland near the RSO house.

For me, anything the RSO says is a lie. His story holds no credibility. His character is seeped in criminality that ranges from violence, sexual deviance, harassment, theft, heavy drug use, possibly pimping, etc... So my following speculations are staunchly based on the above assumptions, just so you know. I did the same thing with the predator who is being charged with Hannah Graham's murder. At the time, I felt awful to doing it, to make a man guilty in your thoughts and let it go. It felt wrong but useful and necessary to help figure out what happened. I have no such compunctions in this case. This man is brazen, arrogant, violent and deceptive to the core, from what I can tell. I will not entertain a minute of victim bashing suppositions in my thoughts, as they have never helped, as far as I can see.

All are free to think as they wish. Journalists are free to get scoops from scumbags, not a bad thing to get them on record. It does not equate with giving them credibility, neither for the scumbags nor the journalists who make a career of scoops, at all cost. I'm spend time here to contribute thoughts to help find Jaimie Mendez. The last thing I'm going to do is believe a man suspected of taking her, who sounds no different than other men who have done the same kind of things, and said the same kinds of things, who are now serving life terms in prison for murder. So here goes.

 

[FindHG]

Speculative timeline:

I think the RSO may have been able to get to Jaimee Mendez, as she feared, before the friend arrived.

He then went to where ever he may have left her.

On his way back, he first may have gotten rid of her items near Technology Way.

He then was said to have visited the mother of his daughter, around 10 pmish according to the RSO (not confirmed information). He may have gone there to clean up and deal with the aftermath of whatever happened, such as the scratches, stuff on his clothes, whatever he needed to do, to be clean.

Then after the Mendez family search began and they confronted him, he cleaned his van of evidence and got rid of the piece of carpeting and her shoes. Mrs. Mendez herself found these in a dumpster near his house (confirmed in MSM by police sources).

He has, by his own words, as liars often mix the truth with their fictions “She was with me 30 minutes tops,” and that nobody can “hide a body so well in four hours so 700 people can’t find her." So given that he has provided the time it may have taken him to achieve this, and as nobody has yet confirmed that she is dead other than the RSO, and nobody else has come up with how much time he may have had to hide the body, it is interesting and completely damning that he provided this information, the way I see it. http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?261926-MA-Jaimee-Mendez-25-Swampscott-6-November-2014&p=11200618#post11200618

If he had had the time to go out to sea, then he may have not had her clothing, phone and ID to dump on his way back, so where ever he went to hide Jaimee Mendez would be someplace that would have Technology Way as a convenient dumping spot on the way back, once he hid her someplace else. I think he assumed then as he assumed now that his story would hold, but that once the Mendez were onto to him, cleaning out his van and getting rid of the carpeting and her shoes was done with limited movement and time, way after the fact.

So, what may need to be figured out is where he may have been before he dumped her things off Technology Way. Perhaps security camera footage from around the Salem and Lynn area caught him moving around in his van. Descriptions of his van moving around from the time Jaimee Mendez called to when he may have gone to his former mate's place may be key.

The other possibility is that he may have left her in a dumpster that he knew would be picked up, around there, as he has a background in garbage collection.

There are two cemeteries, one nearby in Lynn Woods and another one just off Jackson Pond, those may have been options for him. He did this all not late at night with nobody around. It was between the hours of 6 and 10 pm ish so there is a good chance he was seen moving around or caught on security cameras in the area. I don't think she is far, I don't think some drug syndicate did this. The chances of that are minuscule and fabricated only by RSO statements and rumors, completely disregarding the facts.

Every place in America has people buying drugs, paying for sex, these are common, not unique to Lynn. Any criminal or defense lawyer wants to cast doubt on the victim or the circumstances, it is in their interest to do so. It is not in the interest of communities to believe brazen criminals when it comes to a missing mother who has an autistic son and a family who has acted with such bravery, gumption, and love so quickly and effectively. Jaundiced eyes may be prepared to distance themselves from the victims do that. Good people who care and are committed to finding Jaimie Mendez, I'm certain won't miss a beat because of what the RSO has put out there to cast doubt on her.

Do you mind providing links to this? I do not recall ever seeing where they confirmed that it was him she was feeling unsafe with, other than the family speculating because they assumed he's the only person she was with. I also do not recall reading where they released the location she asked her friend to pick her up from.

 

[Coldpizza]

Guys, please provide a MSM link when stating something as fact. If it's your opinion then say so... Imo, Jmo etc.

Thanks

 

[Ontario Mom]

But I think I remember reading that usually she calls from her phone. Plus they did find her charger with some of her other belongings. I don't know out you, but I don't carry my charger around with me unless I know I'm going to be gone a long time (like over night). So if she was leaving for just a short while, it just doesn't make sense that she would have grabbed her charger also. But then again, I guess anything is possible.

I didn't realize her charger had been found as well. I remember reading her shoes, jacket and phone, but that was it. I'm the same, I never take my charger with me unless I know I'm going to be gone for a while, OR, I forgot to charge my phone at home before I left and know I can charge it wherever I'm going.

 

[Ontario Mom]

I also do not understand why we are believing the admitted herion user/convicted So about any drug buy.

I wouldn't say I believe him, exactly, but I will say that just because he's a convicted felon and RSO and heroin user and from all accounts, an all around stand-up guy, doesn't mean he had anything directly to do with Jaimee's disappearance. Our society has no shortage of genuine creeps, but not all of them go around disappearing people, they're just creeps in other ways.

Besides, he's been questioned multiple times by LE, has had his property searched, etc., and they STILL haven't arrested him. So, that either means they have nothing on him, or they're waiting for lab results from whatever testing might have been done. So, if LE isn't calling him THE suspect yet, I won't either (no matter how much of a sketch bag he seems to be).

Most of the articles just say phone, ID and jacket. But a few also report a charger being found along with them. I quoted one of the articles earlier, but I can provide the link again if you would like me to.

We know Jaimee Mendez was with the RSO. We know she felt fear caused by him. We know she was able to call two friends to raise the alarm that she felt unsafe, and that she identified who that person was. .

I'm not sure we DO know that. We do know that she called and said she was with *someone* and felt uncomfortable but did she actually say who it was she was with? Since he claims to have picked her up AT her house, it's entirely possible that this is how the family knew she was with him, at least initially. Not to mention, he also claims he's picked her up there at her house at least a couple times before, so I suspect the family knew at least his first name and the vehicle he drives. Just guessing on that.

This is where it gets shifty for me. Has anyone actually said "she called and said she was with **named him by name** and felt scared" ?? If there's a link somewhere in msm or on the Find Jaimee FB page maybe someone can point that out? Maybe I just missed it somehow.

 

[Ontario Mom]

Family members have said THEY know who she was last seen with, but that doesn't mean he was actually the last person who was in fact with her. Neither of those links say that when she called she named him by name, just a reference to "this guy".

Just trying to be factual, that's all.

The very first post on this page, the first link I posted in response up thread, has her sister stating it in quotes. May I equally request, if anyone has information contradicting that both, the family and the friend who went to get her, or the LE has ever given any indication it could be anyone else, other than what the RSO and his family have stated, I would welcome it.

I think LE knows what it is doing in terms of evidence and building a good case, doesn't worry me. I would rather speculate on where he may have taken Jaimie Mendez than if her family is to be believed.
