JC's Gma

working on senior project

ohhhhhh, that stuck out like a splinter- wonder if it was a group thing or individual?? Wonder what all she was doing for it? Going places- seeing people, etc??
Hope they have gone to the Art school and doing some digging there

 

[sreshowtime]

Yeah well I assume the parents are divorced, as it was mentioned her Dad was moving in with his girlfriend. Not that it may matter, but I wonder if the divorce was recent. What in the mother's life may somehow be connected? Odd lifestyle, friends, anything that could potentially be connected the KM missing?

 

[cluciano63]

At some point JC might be given a LD test...Chief kinds of hems and haws about it...saying the have no evidence, person innocent until proven guilty, etc...
Her dad is extremely cooperative. LE has no evidence of foul play or non-foul play, at this time. No evidence of domestic violence. No evidence against JC at this time.

Chief says extensive resources have been devoted since day one, have discovered nothing that supports any theory...

 

[~SuperSleuth~]

The 911 call and the timeline of her fiance JC looking for her on Sunday are baffling. Appreciate if anyone can clear anything up for me.

During the 911 call, the dispatcher asks for the address, then asks, "And you're out there now?" He says, "Um, I'm heading out there now. I, like, have been trying to get ahold of her and I decided to go by her house to see if she's okay, and her car's still there - she would be at work right now with her car. Which is why I'm like really freaking out."

However, he ALSO said in the 911 call: "Her purse was there, nothing but her cell phone was missing." And later in the call he says, "The only thing that's not there is her cell phone, which is positive, but she's not answering it."

These comments indicate he'd been in her apartment already by the time of the call.

So, according to the things he himself said in the 911 call:

1) He went to her apartment and went inside.
2) He found her gone.
3) He examined her belongings thoroughly enough to assert later that nothing was missing but her phone.
4) He did not call law enforcement.
5) He then went somewhere else. (Where? Why?)
6) He then RETURNED to her apartment. While en route, he finally called 911.

?!

Especially if her dog was confined in an unusual way, why did he not call LE immediately the first time he visited?

After listening to this 911 call, and the Police Chief on the radio show,
the biggest question I have is "where did JC go after his initial visit to her house?".
If he's calling while 'on his way there', yet has obviously been there already,
it seems as if he must have gone some distance because he never indicates that
he has arrived back there by the end of the 911 call.
And, as ShouldBWorking pointed, his house is only 0.2mi away?

Does anyone know if this question has been asked and if there's been an answer?

Someone mentioned looking it up on the county website I can't remember though.

 

[Idon'tneedthesame]

Of course his Grandmother is going to say only positive things about him.
if I'm wrong I will apologize but I think he knows more than he is saying.

 

[sreshowtime]

hmm- I am kinda thinking they might need to get beyond her 'immediate' circle of friends, and look at acquaintances....school & work- there is a difference between the two...KWIM?

 

[ShouldBWorking]

They are breaking the interviews down on their site, this is gma

[cluciano63]

Would it be normal for her to be home alone on a Saturday night in the condo? And who would know that, if it was?

 

[~SuperSleuth~]

Sorry if I'm asking something that's been addressed somewhere already...
I haven't been following this case that closely.

Has LE used cadaver dogs on her car and his car?

That's my biggest question too. It MAY have a logical explanation... Maybe he went to her place, saw she was gone and thought, "Holy crap, I'm going to go check out/talk to XYZ." Then upon finding out nothing, he thought, "Okay, I've covered the basics, now it's time to call 911," and did so while driving back to the apartment.

The way he presented it to the dispatcher, though, was that he was "freaked out" by the presence of her car, and that was why he was calling before 24 hours had passed.

I'd be puzzled by finding the car there, and I'd run inside thinking she was sick or hurt. An abduction wouldn't even OCCUR to me. I would freak out only after actually finding her gone from the apartment - especially with purse & keys left behind, and the dog in an unusual place. THEN I'd think of an abduction. And I'd be calling 911 right that moment.

But, I realize everyone behaves differently under stress...

 

[vasportsmom]

I'm really bad with maps but are there any parks or walking/biking paths near her home? Somewhere that she might have gone for some fresh air or perhaps friends nearby that she was known to walk and visit? Maybe JC went to check out these areas between checking her apartment and making the 911 call? I'm not sure that really makes sense given his distress at seeing her car at home but I'm still hoping that he is just terribly awkward and that there are innocent explanations for the rest of his hinky behaviours.

Someone just told me someone called into 700WLW in the third hour and made some valid points defending JC I am listening right now.

As we know, many times when people go missing and foul play has taken place, the bodies are found in water. I really hope that this wonderful woman is alive somewhere. The police are saying how thoroughly they searched everywhere in Fairfield.


Ground searches have been suspended after authorities “have covered this city probably as extensively as there has ever been a search in this city,” Dickey said. “There is no other place to look.”
Searches conducted via helicopter, air boat, a mounted ranger from the Cincinnati Park District and All-terrain Vehicles haven’t turned up evidence, Dickey said.

If you look at maps around her address 5214 Dorshire Dr. There is a heck of a lot of water to the west. Wouldn't they have to dredge it rather than just take an airboat??

There is A LOT of water and I have asked this question and it's one of the things that makes me think more then they are letting on because common sense says dredge the river but it's huge so maybe they just don't think it makes sense. I don't know.

Here is the link to a radio interview with John Carter from last week:

It's interesting because if you listen to his interview. He is, of course, exhausted. He hasn't gotten an attorney, even at the advice of family members. He has said many, many odd statements. But in my heart I do not believe he did anything. I have thought about this couple and read their facebook exchanges. I just don't think he did anything. I hope I'm right on that. We see so many cases of bf's etc that do harm that I believe we get tainted right from the beginning. He has given us so much information to critique, but really we have no idea about all the people that KM knows and really who she may have encountered that night.

Here he sounds very credible. Especially when he says he doesn't need an attorney. I might eat crow on this one.

 

[Idon'tneedthesame]

He still calls her cell phone. I just Hate how he keeps referring to her in past tense. ugh.

That REALLY does bother me, my best friend died in March and I just recently started referring to her in the past tense. Confusing!
