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

[carbuff]

I'm back. I think I've caught up. Looks like I haven't missed much, sadly. I was hoping I'd come back to news that she'd been found somewhere alive and well.

 

[Soulmagent]

Never read about this garage with plastic sheets either. How am I missing everything?

Because this is a hypothetical conversation.

 

[Soulmagent]

20 cases? Links please.

Here Y a go ,

Also anyone want to try screen grabs of these docs?

This case has been a difficult one to contribute thoughts and ideas to once JF was named by msm. Especially considering he has not in fact been named by LE as either a suspect or POI. They have treated him as such with the searches and seizures but since there has been no arrest (and 3 rounds of questioning) it honestly doesn't feel very likely he's our guy.

From what I've read about Lynn (I'm not local so it's not first hand info) it's mostly sketchy & full of drug activity. That makes me feel sorry for the people who live there who are neither sketchy or affiliated with the drug scene. If in fact the area is as bad as it seems, it really doesn't surprise me that so and so would know such and such, know where he lives, who his or her circle of friends are, etc. Even though reports say Jaimee and JF were friends, it also says they hadn't know each other that long. I questioned at first then, how her mom would know where he lived to go park outside his house. More than likely, one of Jaimee's friends (or the sister's friends) found out thru their own circle of friends.

Re: it being fact or speculation that JF was indeed the last person known to be with Jaimee. I'm still not convinced on that. Nearly every single early report I read said when she called the two friends that night she never said who she was with or where she was - it was just "this guy". It was her sister all along who was convinced she was with JF, presumably because he picked her up at the house. Then all of a sudden one of the articles comes out saying Jaimee actually said she was with JF (to the friend) and asked to be picked up at his house (to the other friend, an hour later). I honestly question that. Did she actually say that, or does the sister just naturally assume (and honestly, it's a logical conclusion since he's the one who picked her up). Can the male friend verify (or has he already?) to LE that JF's address is the location Jaimee asked him to come pick her up at? From all I've read, LE has not confirmed this. They have not denied it either, so we're all still left in the dark.

SO many unanswered questions here I'm just not getting that JF is our guy. First, it's too convenient, but secondly he doesn't strike me as the type to be able to conceal her whereabouts this long. The window of opportunity was way too small to meticulously and effectively remove all evidence directly leading him back to her. He just doesn't strike me as smart enough to pull that off. I studied forensic investigation long before anyone knew what a CSI was (started 30+ years ago) and I don't even think I could pull it off, with the technology detectives have available these days.

I could be totally wrong on this and he could very well be the one, but I'm just not seeing it yet. Either way, I don't believe dear Jaimee is still with us I think when they do find her, evidence will likely answer some questions we've all been scratching our heads about.

MOO.

Great post. Agree with everything you said. Had LE ever named him or has it all come from her family? I understand his car has been searched and he has talked to LE, but has LE mentioned him in MSM?

His 2 vans were not only searched. They were seized. So there is a probable cause statement somewhere. (someone could try the FOIA)Which would make him a suspect. Otherwise getting the judge to sign off on the warrent seems impossible.

They dont issue warrants to seize property without merit...IMO...moo... some of this Is fact but I dont feel like linking laws about search and seizure and probable cause ..and all that.

They might have gotten a search warrent on little merit but ,they took 2 vans and if he isnt their suspect then someone with access to those 2 vans sure is..JMO.

 

[hockeymom4]

Regarding the sheets part, I think FHG is going off a FB pic he had posted that appears to be a sheet in the background of the pic. No clue where pic was taken. No clue how old it was. No clue what the "sheet" was for. But, if more is available regarding this, I too would love to hear about it! I can add it to the timeline. Can you provide us a link FHG?

Thanks. I was told that as well. I can't seem to find his FB page however. Is it gone?

So, back to my question, has LE named him in MSM or has it all come from her family? Can someone kindly answer my question.

He did delete his facebook, however I guess he had to older ones which he forgot about or locked himself out off ( speculation)which are posted in the front half of this thread.

I never saw his deleted facebook,I am still looking for his myspace cuz I know he has to have one!!!(speculation)

I was more wondering if they mention his name as in, Jaimee Mendez is missing and was last seen and may have been with Jason Fleury. I know in many cases, LE mention a name even though it's not a POI/suspect and many times they don't. Just was curious if they had mentioned him here by name. I will go with no.

MOO.

That characterization of Lynn is a bit harsh. The city has the usual problems of an aging mill town trying to replace the old economy with something new, and does have sketchy areas, but the entire town isn't sketchy or drug-laden. Recently they've shot scenes from several movies there, new industry has moved in, and many neighborhoods are being upgraded.

I don't live there either, just visited a time or two, so I don't feel qualified to go into more detail than that.

It would be great if we could get Jamie's family on blogtalk...

Can someone please tell me how any of this back and forth about the RSO is helping to find Jaimee?

Oh wow it looks like they might be getting closer.

That area looks ideal for a fisherman .

DIamond creek ,pines river , alot of marshy land.

It appears JF has been cooperative. Maybe he permitted them to test his vans, knowing he had nothing to hide? Or perhaps the probable cause is the supposed carpet found in the dumpster. Maybe they are trying to determine if it truly came out of one of those vehicles? If I had killed someone and one of my two vehicles were involuntarily confiscated, and I was sure they were going to find something in one that was going to incriminate me, I'd probably jump in my second one and flee. But that's just me.

(MOO)

It's not. But some of us don't feel it's fair to label someone a murderer when police haven't even named a suspect yet.

I heard his page was removed. Let me see if I can find it.

Just two sentences down it says he has not been named a suspect or person of interest. These articles can be so misleading at times....

Thank you. I agree it's unfair and I think we should refrain. We can sleuth locations, possibilities, etc. without further discussion about JF in an accusing manner. Can we talk about his possible whereabouts? Sure. Can we discuss the possibility of his involvement? Sure. Can we even say he might have been the last person to see Jaimee? Of course. But IMO we need to put the focus back on finding Jaimee and we should remain open to anything that can help us do that.
