It appears that mystery woman bought ammo at canfields, we are back in buisness.

PLEASE do not take this the wrong way, it is simply an observation that touches tangentially on this and several other threads (the Creighton pathology killings and associated case for example).

It must be absolutely exhilarating (not the precise word I want to use, but bear with me) to be a crime reporter in Omaha the past several months. I mean this, if you ARE a crime reporter, and what lights your fire is writing about crime and all the facets of that job- there has been a heck of a lot of just plain interesting crimes to write about lately in this market.

Again, in no way am I diminishing the horrific nature of this or any other crime, nor the tragic consequences on the victims, their families and the community at large. (For example, I am a pediatric ICU nurse. I do not enjoy AT ALL children being critically ill/ injured, but I do derive a certain satisfaction from doing my job to the best of my abilities when they are.) But Omaha seems to find itself in the center of the future-real-crime-book universe for the moment.

Is that where the photo they circulated was taken? It appears so.

so she was speculating about the meds but you stated it as 'credible' info because of her 'connections' and now you're inferring that it's a road rage incident, based on, once again, your friend's 'sources'

forgive me if I don't trust your friend as a legitimate inside 'source'

:banghead::banghead::banghead:

I don't care if you believe me or not. I was simply trying to share some information I had about the crime, at a time where there was zilch coming from police or the media, and folks on the thread were anxious for more. I never called my friend the inside source, I said knows the family and has an inside source within LE. My brother works in LE as well and I haven't even called him for any info, since I trust my friends source.

I received a pm from another poster who shared more inside info on what the family was told what happened, and this was after NJ and the others were taken into custody. The road rage warning was consistent with what the family was told.

I have indicated all my info falls in the "rumor" category since I have no links to support it. If you don't want to read about rumors then put me on ignore, but to criticize me for coming back and correcting the info I had previously relayed as being from the inside source when it wasn't is uncalled for.

I'm confident my friend has credible sources. The information should come out in the next week, if not sooner.

I'm not going to quote any posts that are TOS-questionable (yes that's a fake word). Yet maybe they could be edited before a Mod has to do it. (No discussion of PMs in thread).

I'm new to this case...clicked on wrong link on home page and now I'm off to read your sleuthing! Thanks for all you oldtimers on this thread that are keeping WS the best forum ever (no link...jmo).

Let's just try to keep with what we know to be a fact as there are a lot of locals on this thread. LE isn't saying anything for a reason and that could be because NJ has not been charged yet. If you are just speculating then you need to say it is just your opinion and not fact. If you claim to have inside information you will be asked to verify this with the MODS first. Thanks

NJ has officially been charged with four counts of first degree murder. Expect a press conference at 11:30.

My friend just received a breaking news twitter announcement from one of the news stations that Jenkins is being charged with all four murders. Apparently, there will be an official announcement or news conference at 11 this morning.

You beat me to it.

Kruger — on her way home from work — just happened to pull up behind Jenkins at 168th and Fort Streets. Jenkins described being at the stop sign when Kruger's SUV pulled up behind him. Jenkins emerged from the car, circled up to Kruger's driver's-side door, pulled her from the car and shot her in the head, said a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Investigators are still trying to piece together who else was involved in that slaying. Someone helped Jenkins drive his car and Kruger's car away from the slayings. Kruger's SUV was found about 16 hours later at 43rd and Charles Streets.

Andrea Kruger was the only truly random victim of a just-released prisoner who authorities allege committed a series of four murders in 10 days.

WOW Not road rage, not robbery. Just a cold, straight-up, point blank murder.

Well it was a murder and a robbery, they stole her car.

Well that is HIS version of events. I wonder if we will ever know the truth. He seems so evil he very well may have killed her for the sake of killing her.

 

[dr dona]

He just killed her because he could--mad dog rage...What a world,!!!!

 

[sammie]

Per KETV they were on surveillance tape together at the same place before she was killed. His version of her pulling up to the intersection behind him sounds like BS to me.

Was that in the news conference... it isn't in that article? thanks

It is buried in the article:

"Sources tell KETV NewsWatch 7 they believe the motive for Kruger's murder was "robbery and thrill," but nothing was taken from Kruger at the time of the killing.

There is no evidence of any road rage incident or other confrontation prior to Kruger's death, authorities said. However, surveillance video puts Jenkins and Kruger at the same place moments before her death, though there's no indication Jenkins got into her vehicle."
