[Spellbound]

Is it just me or did that entire article disappear since you posted it less than 3 hours ago ???

It did disappear! try this: http://www.heritage.com/articles/2015/03/04/ypsilanti_courier/news/doc54f741b1bf7c4984549555.txt

The article was nothing new, but the comment at the bottom was ..... supportive of family and against the Ypsi police handling of the case.

original link was to the Saline Nsp., this one is to the Ypsilanti paper

I thank you too Spellbound, for all the information, and the combined wisdom of WSers as well.

As to the comments on the linked piece?

Mara MacDonald, Local 4 Reporter, Mar 04 '15 12:19:43 pm says those investigating Julia's homicide would

"like to have a long talk with him."

after waiting for two years to talk with this "strange" man who lawyered up a long time ago, and, most likely it seems to me, may have tried hard to cover his tracks at the expense of those closest to him.

Some 3rd grader kids had a sleepover at his house, but unlike a typical pedophile, he tries to get away from it.

briefed respectfully

Did he have experience wiring audio visual?

Great catches, thank you for sharing them.

To think that he was away willy nilly, may be more of charitable read than he is due.

O/T About his name, was he always Turnquist, I wonder? If you take the S and T off, which he has on occasion posting on the blog linked upthread, it's pronounced like turnkey, never knew what it meant. Hearing is this morning.

"Turnkey" is commonly used in the construction industry,

pre-built computer "packages"

Turnkey products are synonymous to "off-the-shelf" solutions and not customized.

In real estate, turnkey is defined as delivering a location that is ready for occupation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnkey

The blog posts seem contrived, 'ole innocent me' stuff he put out there, interesting if there is anything to be drawn from it about his mindset at the time.

"Police believe someone who Niswender knew, used her key to lock her door from the outside before they left."

I had it wrong, not 2 years (atrocious @ math), from this previously posted piece by Robert Allen & By Katrease Stafford, Detroit Free Press 2:06 pm Mar 4, '15

"more than three years after his stepdaughter's unsolved murder,"

Have some confidence in your own math...
Julia was killed in Dec. 2012. So in Dec. 2015 it will be 3 years. But we are not in December yet. So it should be "over two years"
It looks like Robert Allen & By Katrease Stafford are atrocious at math!

I think he choice "turnquij" because sometimes names for email accounts are restricted to 8 characters.

Yes, black_spuirrel, that is sometimes the case, but some have longer names on the hunting blog. I'm not sure if we can discuss specific posts. That back and forth between him, if it is him posting, have interesting little tidbits, I'm not sure we may discuss as per the WS TOS.

 

[Spellbound]

I agree with black_squirrel. I think he probably used turnquij on all his social sites so he would not forget his user name. I know I get confused on the different requirements on some sites -- would like just one name everywhere. Some want a mix of caps and %s, only letters, only numbers, restricted number of characters. arghh. That probably made it easier if he is not very computer literate. Just my thought, though.

The few sites where he chatted with others did not seem particularly noticeable to me. I was not impressed with his communication skills --- just a low to average sporting guy trying to impress others, was how I felt. I picked up "no clues", but who knows?

details of of family rift. Grandmother has not spoken to her daughter since December. Also the day after he was taken into custody for psych. Eval./observation after fleeing to the karate center:

A day later, Julia's grandmother, Rose Niswender, filed a personal protection order alleging James Turnquist threatened to "take out" her in December 2012. She also accused him of entering her home without permission around that same time, according to the PPO, which was granted.


two hearings today: probable cause this morning. Later a hearing on COS request to remove youngest daughter.

 

[tarabull]

So...lots of additional details floating to the surface this morning...

Both lie detector tests were in 2013.

IF he has nothing to hide, why won't the man just give a dayum statement.

The pictures (7 or eight of them) are all of girls under 18.

They are concerned about the youngest daughter left in the home with Kim because she is still supporting her man. There is a hearing for that after his hearing this morning.

I guess Im going to need coffee. Well really I need sleep but doubt that's gonna happen now.

:coffeeup: opcorn:

 

[electric_rainbow]

Thank you for providing details! I wish i could watch, but i cant.
That's also crazy that he threatened his mother in law.

Still waiting for hearing to begin. Will post when it starts.

 

[Spellbound]

For some reason, when I am on my PC I don't stay logged in (even with the box checkmarked). No problem on tablet, though. I was surprised that the hearing will be live-streamed. Thanks, BDE!

From the LansingStateJournal article:
-[grandmother]: He blames me for police investigating him," she wrote, saying she was fearful he will come after her.-Julia's twin sister, Jennifer Niswender, said her grandmother, who she is estranged from, hasn't spoken to James Turnquist in more than two years.

-Julia's aunt, Carrie Niswender, said she is standing 100% behind her brother-in-law.
-[Lt. Deric Gress ]: Sorry, I (we) won't be giving interviews," he said in an e-mail. "And will provide updates as warranted."

Lie detector test being given in early 2013 may not be a concern.... her death was December 2012. The investigation was just getting started at that time.

...The pictures (7 or eight of them) are all of girls under 18...

I wonder how long ago the photos were taken. Is Chelsea Bruck among them???

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

For anyone here who hasn't followed the case of Chelsea Bruck, missing since last October from the Monroe, Michigan area, here is an article/photo of Julia and Jennifer Niswender and Chelsea and Kassandra Bruck. The girls had gone to school together, and Jennifer Niswender was Kassie Bruck's Maid of Honor at her January, 2015 wedding. None of us know for certain that Julia's murder and Chelsea's disappearance are related, but it's worth consideration given the closeness of the families. :moo:

To make the claim that the girls were under 18 implies either that LE was able to identify the girls in the pictures or they were obviously under 18, i.e. prepubescent. I notice that cameras were part of the search warrant - LE probably went through the memory cards of the cameras to see if they were used to take the pictures.

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

Hearing on now.

Lots of family members in courtroom. Jennifer looks angry and rough.
