It looks silver to me, the lighting is weird though, so i can understand the confusion.

Looks like brushed silver to me. DH has an Oxo mug that is brushed silver with black trim (but no handle).

The reason I was curious about the mug is if it was one she owned previously; one she bought that day or if it was a mug someone gave her. IF the mug was seen in other photos of partygoers it might lead to Chelsea. Any small detail can be big when it comes to these missing persons cases. I've scanned over photos posted here to see if I could see that mug or a similar one, with no luck so far.

Great work on finding who manufactures the mug.

There is certainly enough of a resemblance to merit a close look. That said, the sketch shows someone with a pointy chin and this guy has a square chin. Not necessarily a perfect science, but that jumped out at me.

Same thing here. Noticed that, but go to a good clear copy to of the POI sketch, for some reason the chin looks less pointy.

The photo in the comment here is uncanny! Not what I sent in, but wow that is close to the sketch!

OMG .... what an uncanny match to the sketched person. Have we seen this pic before? Am I following the posts there correctly and they found and ruled out this person?

It looks brown with marble texture to me. Do you think CB is holding a silver mug?
It is definitely a Copco mug. No other company uses the rubber ridges. I bet they have a patent on it.

Yes, I believe it is silver with the black trim.

You guys have done a great job finding the mug. This Copco mug looks right. Now to find out how it came to be in her hands. The link with pic of the mug posted by BetteDavisEyes says it is a 24 oz. mug, and I do believe it is larger than many. That would fit. Here is her link again http://www.copco.com/store/site/pro...1/fid/E61EA782-475A-BAC0-59493AEF6DFDB336.cfm

Kilen or Klynn ---- could you find out if she brought her own mug to the event? If so, thanks!

Quite possibly the image may have changed/narrowed, horizontally or vertically as I manipulated (resized) it to make the comparison image.

I agree with your thought process. I don't recall reading anywhere that she brought a mug. I have a 20 yr old brother and I know at his age...most don't plan that far ahead (he would forget his head if it wasn't attached. He is a very intelligent kid, 4.0 GPA but lives for the moment and not good w/ pre-planning ). I know she made her costume but that is different since woman seem to be more into their appearance. Honestly, when I was Chelsea's age...I would not have brought any alcohol. In my opinion, it is much easier for a woman to get alcohol at an event like this. I am not saying this is smart but when your younger, you aren't always thinking about the consequences of your actions. I feel someone could have used this as a way to get to know Chelsea and as a way to take advantage of her in some way. Additionally, maybe someone put something in her drink. From what I understand there was a large range of drugs being used at this event.

Anyways, I am sending my husband on a mission this evening. He is going to Pilot to look at all the travel mugs. He feels it looks very similar to ones he has seen there before (but who knows..I don't know that he has really ever looked at Pilot travel mugs before). He owns a company (w/ lots of equipment) and this is the only gas station he will use. I will let you know what he finds out. I asked him to take a picture of anything similar.

Wonder if you found out anything..... curious if there's surveillance at Pilot.... probably way too late now even if there was.... What's the cost of that mug... would that impress a gal, being given that by a stranger?

Someone at the event must have seen something, even if they aren't aware of it... So if band held a benefit.... might raise awareness, and get that someone who might have seen something to come forward.

Involuntary shiver!!!!

Note that the guy in the photo mentions his hair specifically ;)

No "involuntary" shivers in these parts today. Current temp 8* with wind chills below 0. Intermittent snow squalls. Going to be much worse tomorrow with predicted wind chills of -20. Brrr...

Hopefully you guys aren't sleuthing non POI's.

Social Networks

Regarding Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and other social networking or blog websites: Links may be used to direct posters to view something on a social networking page. But postings on social networking sites are not considered fact; they are rumor. Copying and pasting, or taking screen caps, directly from these pages is not allowed. Paraphrasing is okay. (Exception: If the Twitter or Facebook post belongs to a verified news station, it may be copied. But a link should still be provided.)

Also, social networking pages may only be linked if they are directly related to a case, i.e. the victim or suspect. We don't want to post to someone's mother, brother, employer, milkman, or postal carrier just because they know the main player. We also NEVER link to minor's pages (unless they are the victim). And be sure that the page actually belongs to the person being discussed. Do not link to someone if you are not 100% sure it is the correct person. And if a social networking is set to private and you get in the back way, you may not post what you find. Private means private!

They look like they are distributed at bedbathandbeyond, Target, Walmart and Meijer to name a few...

Okay....so this might be way out there, but.....what if on the days leading to the party she goes into MEIJER to buy a mug mentioning to someone working there she may have gone to HS with...that it's intended purpose is for the party....and they decided to go...I bring this up BECAUSE I read that Julia was a long time employee of MEIJER'S as well as her mother who I believe may still work there....(along with one of Chelsea ' s sister's, I think I'd heard.) Just thought of a *possible connection to both women.

Not so "way out there" IMO....

Possible, but they may all have worked at different Meijer's. I would guess Chelsea went to Meijer in Monroe, Niswinder mom worked at Pittsfield Twp. Meijer. Not sure of the others having worked at either, but possible.

I'd have to go back and read the earliest posts about Julia, but I think she worked part-time at Meijer while she was a student at EMU. Not sure which location, though, and there are several in the Ann Arbor/Ypsi area.

The person of interest in the Kaitlin Walters case looks eerily like the sketch of the suspect in Chelsea's case. Difference is, in Kaitlin's case they have this guy's name. Maybe it is totally not related but I had to share this.
Here is a link to her case:
http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?267137-OH-Kaitlin-Walters-13-Burbank-31-December-2014
Here are 2 images of the person of interest in Kaitlin's case, next to the sketch of the person of interest in Chelsea's case.

Quoting my own post.
It seems this is getting out into social media, (Facebook) I just want to clarify that I have not posted this similarity anywhere other than right here at WS. If anyone wants to pass the likeliness of these photos on to LE that is fine, I think they (LE) should be the ones to decide if these cases are in fact related. I know that the similarities are very hard to ignore, but we do not know what that means yet. These are both active-ongoing investigations, we don't know what will help or hinder them, lets let LE decide.

I found this: "Jennifer works at Meijer and her sister worked at Walmart"
http://www.annarbor.com/news/ypsilanti/sister-of-julia-niswender-i-vow-to-dedicate-live-every-day-in-memory-of-her/

So Julia worked at Walmart, probably on Ellsworth in Ypsilanti, not far from the EMU campus. Just a guess, tho.

Many of my posts were removed and I'm not sure why. I checked the forum FAQ and saw nothing about posting links with pictures and there are other pictures in the thread without links. Can someone explain to me this rule so my posts don't get removed?
