Have had to call Tow Boat a couple of times when motor wouldn't start. They are expensive.

If you can give the BF any credence, they put the boat in the river early on New Year's day, so if she got out of the boat shortly afterwards, it was still daylight.

Right. Here it is:
"Sheriff Jimmy Edwards said the couple, described as being in a relationship, had gotten into a small boat without a motor, putting it into the Tallahatchie River at the bridge on County Road 46 south of Enterprise about daylight Friday morning."

These are my thoughts also.

I have a lot of the same questions as others:

1. Why was her phone handed over?
My phone is expensive, I'm not turning it over to anyone.

2. Did this guy physically see JS?

3. I have been on the rivers plenty of times. I have never taken my keys. If they get dropped over board or lost then I'm screwed. Never have I taken my purse. That stays in my vehicle under the seat. I have a second phone that has no internet, a cheapy phone. That's the one I take on the river. If it falls in its not a big deal. When I get home I transfer my pics to my fb or my good phone.

4. What made her get out of the boat, if in fact she did. Was it a fight or flight situation?

5. No phone, no gun, no purse, no keys, but she has a knife to cut off her boots??

6. Why did he call his son and not the guy who has her phone?

7. Whose idea was it to go boat hunting?

8. Why is she not reported missing sooner than 10pm?

9. When is the last time someone physically saw her?

I see all kinds of red flags....

I think you should send this to the Sheriff.

I carry a small purse and always kept it in large zip lock bag. I carried it for security. You never know when you need a phone, or credit card or cash for emergencies.

Not sure how big that “boat” was - but space is limited. Thinking little creek boat. Unless you’re hanging out on a big cabin cruiser - you don’t take more than you can carry on a small boat with no motor. Mostly what we’ve done is use the boat to get to the hunt area. Not hunt from the boat.

Guns and ammo need to kept dry.

Wallet always goes with me. It has my hunting and fishing license plus ID and emergency insurance information. Goes in plastic bag or dry box.

What about water? Food for the day? Cooler? Rope to secure hog/deer?

While we're discussing why Jessica would leave her purse, let's discuss why BF would abandon the boat and leave her purse in the boat.

Vanished New Albany woman has Chickasaw ties

"Searchers combing the area later located the boat about a mile upriver from the Rocky Ford bridge at Etta. Her purse was in the boat, according to Jones."

I'm thinking it is a flat bottomed aluminum boat used for shallow water. Lightweight enough to launch by hand. Could be hauled in back of truck and lifted by two people and put into the water.

I am still stuck with the info that her boots were cut off? Can anyone elaborate on that for me or why her boots would be cut off? I don’t get it.

Also, river bottom is that at the bottom of the river or the end of the river? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but....

When I was around her age I partied all night on New Year's Eve and would not be putting in on a river early the next morning. I'm wondering if something happened during the night while celebrating New Year's Eve and the boat trip was contrived to coverup for why she is missing. In that case I hope that the BF as well as the phone man is being questioned and questioned and questioned. I feel like some other young people, maybe friends, know what happened. JMO

Well, it was pointed out earlier that someone could have done this to fake her footprints in the mud.

I was thinking the same thing!

This story is just crazy to me. I have no idea why the boots were cut off, but maybe if it was boots attached to waders, it was made to look like she had to cut them off because she was sinking? That still is nonsensical to me.

Something has happened to this poor girl, and it sounds more and more like foul play to me!!

Also, hubby said in most states it is illegal to shoot deer if they are considered to be swimming (FWIW). I wondered if anyone even had hunting/fishing licenses?

Cadaver dogs were used at the river. I truly hope that her house, his house and vehicles are checked as well.

Friends would know if she attended a New Year's Eve party. If not, then maybe a domestic violence incident?
