What does LE stand for?

Law enforcement.

Not sure if this is or is not against rules here but I was involved in organizing a local fundraiser yesterday for Andrea yielding nearly $12,000. Knowing how much this is impacting so many folks out there, I felt it important to also share these (slightly more uplifting) tidbits of info. Thank you to everyone here for spending time trying to problem solve this heinous crime. May justice be served soon! And personally, can't wait for LE to share accurate updates ASAP so rumor control occurs.

I will be glad when LE releases some evidence in this case because rumors are killing this thread imo.

Speculation and rumors are all we really can discuss at this point, since LE isnt giving out any information. Until there is an arrest, I doubt LE will let us know what evidence they have, and even then I doubt we get much.

If it's a rumor you will need to put this in your post and if you have a link from an MSN source that would be great. Thanks

That would have been on Ford Road where this happened a mile or so down that road. A road block would have been set up to redirect traffic. That whole intersection was a crime scene involving a death. No cars would have been able to pass so the road block he ran into was more than likely to redirect traffic. LE does not block off a road to a family member, they notify them by sending an officer to the home as soon as they have an ID on the victim. This happened before 3am and her husband was not aware of what happened until after 6am. It should not have taken LE 3 hours to notify her husband had she had an ID on her. jmo

I'm not sure how I missed this when it was posted, but I did. While it may be a moot point at this time in light of recent developments, I still think this misinformation needs to cleared up.

This is fact, not rumor: A LE road block was NOT set up anywhere near the Kruger home. There are two entrances to their neighborhood that are easily accessible from Fort Street or 144th Street -- neither of those entrances had a road block. Neither of these entrances is less than 22 blocks away from the crime scene. How do I know this? I live right there and take my grandson to day care every day, RIGHT THERE. There were no road blocks that morning, absolutely none within sight of the Kruger neighborhood.

If it wasn't too much information that shouldn't be made public, I would post a Google map and mark it up. Looking at such a map, what I'm saying would make sense. You would be able to see the considerable distance between the crime scene and the house.

Waiting on DNA results taken from the car... could be as early as this week.

Right, and he stated to the reporter that it was down the street, which could have been where they had set up a road block. It's relative to the person making the statement as to what "down the street" means. He drove down Fort Street and at some point ran into LE. Depending on what your belief is at the time it can be twisted into something wild and crazy which is what we always try to watch the speculation and ask for facts. Thanks

"Kruger said he was met by sheriff's deputies a block from his home. "

I we really arguing whether or not a tomato is a vegetable or fruit? What came first the chicken or the egg?

Nope, not arguing at all. We are told to post links, and only links, to back up anything we say. So I did that.

Anyone think NJ will be able to come up with 10% of $500,000?

I believe there are a couple of reports of what he said, none of which really matter because his home was not being staked out and we still have no information on whether or not she had ID on her to identify who she was. There was just no easy way for this man to have found out what happened to his wife.

No link for this info, so it's a rumor. My friend who has a source in LE said the source told her, when discussing this case... Let this be a warning about people and road rage...do not do anything to incite other drivers, you never know who you are dealing with.

She also clarified the & Go story about Andrea stopping to buy meds for the sick child was pure speculation, and that did not come from the LE source.

Based on what she told me, I wouldn't be surprised to find out there was some sort of road rage incident that led to her killing.

I was told she stopped at the & Go for medicine, and that's where this sicko either started following her or possibly even got in her car.

Technically it's a rumor since I don't have a link. But the person who told me knows the family and has a source in LE. So I have faith the info is credible. She knew about the arrest before it hit the news. She also confirmed that LE knows much more than what is out there in the media.

[bbm]

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'

Deputy County Attorney Chad Brown told the court that it's the state's intention to charge Jenkins as an habitual criminal. Jenkins will go to court for two guns charges on Wednesday. He informed the court that he will represent himself.

When most suspects say very little at bond review, Jenkins continued to talk.

Oh boy.

This thread started off bad with all the speculations with Husband Ryan, good slothing after that. Now back out of control. To everyone close to the case wait for creditable sources & links.

That twitter picture is interesting. It makes me think the crime scene is larger than right beside her car. Look at all the (non-road?) cones to the west/right in the picture, and the second photographer and LE facing away from the apparent scene.

Discussing only publicly available info, I think this observation of the twitter crime scene photo is going to prove to be sadly true. I do however recant my theory this was a pre-planned (more than 10 minutes in advance) hit.

 

[misskitty77]

I do have to agree that speculation is killing this thread. LE is releasing absolutely nothing which hopefully means that they are close to solving it.

I am pretty sure that NJ won't be bonded out...most of his classy family members are in jail right along with him (and apparently aren't interested in talking, imagine that). Just hoping that the ballistics results come back this week and crack this case wide open...

 

[nick12]

Habitual criminal? Didn't I say that about 2-3 pages ago...? I'm not going to give away evidence, or provide info from, "sources," that is compromising, but we should know a lot more in the next few days.
P.S you guys should take a look at the letter he sent to the courthouse, it's written in code and written in a diamond shape...how many points are in a diamond? How many murders? Pure speculation on my part.
