hi. new here ... and here's my :twocents: ... and beware this is going to be a long one because i've had all this pent up since this all started ... i only just found this thread the other day on google ....
i do have every news report released as well as copies of all the affidavits and warrants that have been released. the DA promised us copies of everything in the Discovery file that is public domain. as soon as we get that information i will post it.
Jaymie's biological half-brother is my husband and we do have access to some information that maybe the rest of the world isn't. and at least i can help put a face on the family who knew her as a child.
i've not had a chance to read this thread as a whole, but i do want to add some things that have been wondered about as far as Jaymie's family is concerned.
1) yes, she was estranged from the family who raised her for at least the last 7 years of her life. they do not know much about her life in Oklahoma City. i'm not terribly certain how many members of her family even knew where she was living until she went missing.
2) that would be the reason they did not have much to do with the search for her. they did not know anything about her recent life or have any recent pictures at all, so what could they add? all the pictures they had of Jaymie were more than 7 years old. colby, my husband, did do one interview before Jaymie's body was found to help keep the story in the public eye.
3) speculation on the meaning behind the blog that was found on facebook: Jaymie's adoptive mother told me that Jaymie did not see being adopted as a gift or a privilege. she said it seemed like Jaymie saw being adopted as a slight, that she wasn't good enough or something. as a result of that, she spent the whole rest of her life trying to reinvent herself to feel good about herself. i got the impression after speaking with her adoptive family that she was a very lost person, even before she went missing. and that she was always in search of herself. perhaps (keeping this information in mind) the meaning behind the title of the blog was about her life and that she was close to being where she felt she belonged.
4) according to the information i've seen and read, the entomologist said that there is nothing to rule out the possiblity that her body was in the location it was found for the entire time she was missing.
there are some questions i've had from the beginning, some of them i've had even before her body was found. these aren't in any particular order, btw. ....
1) why did it take 2 hours for Justin and his mother to find Jaymie's van. she told him where she was going to be. he KNEW where she was supposed to be meeting this "friend" ... so why did it take that long?
according to the probable cause affidavit that was attached to the application for the formal charges that the DA filled out, when justin went over to his mother's trailer (which is directly next door to the one he and jaymie shared) he and Tina left immediately to go get Tina's parent's vehicle so they could search for Jaymie. that accounts for maybe 5-10 minutes of travel time.
i've been in Blanchard, it's a small place. we had to go down there for Jaymie's funeral service. you can drive from one end to the other in 10 minutes.
i google mapped the distance between blanchard and the mcdonalds where jaymie's van was found, that's only a 37 minute drive. ... so that's only 47 minutes accounted for out of 2 hours between the time Tina said justin came over to her trailer and when jaymie's van was found.
what were tina and justin doing for the other hour and 13 minutes? that's a lot of time to have unaccounted for.
2) the woman who ran the page that was collecting all the info on Jaymie's disappearance repeatedly asked Justin for copies of the same pictures he had of Jaymie that he was showing to the cameras during his plea for jaymie's return that first week she was missing.
he ignored all requests for those pictures. that woman was trying to help get Jaymie found, you'd think justin would leap at the chance to help get recent pictures of Jaymie out where people could see them. suspicious behavior much?
3) justin repeatedly changed his story and NONE of the versions of his story matched the information the police had at that time. same for the stories tina told the police, though she was mostly just rephrasing justin's stories. what reason do they have to lie, unless they actually had something to do with jaymie's death and disappearance?
4) why did justin not want to report his wife missing to the first officer who showed up when he called after finding jaymie's van?
5) why was he so obsessed with making sure the cops thought jaymie's laptop and cell phone were missing? he told them repeatedly, according to the probable cause affidavit that was submitted with the formal charges. (if no one has posted a copy of that document or any of the search warrant/arrest warrant documentation, please let me know and i will post it for all to read.)
6) why did justin wait 2 hours from the time he claimed to have last contact with jaymie before deciding something was wrong? she was last SEEN alive between 9 and 10pm on december 9th, 2011 ... this was according to justin's brother (who doesn't seem to like his brother much. his biological father, who i met, doesn't seem to like justin much either.)
7) why did neither justin nor tina show up to jaymie's burial, which occurred BEFORE justin was arrested? and why did Tina not show up to the funeral, which was the day AFTER justin was arrested, if justin is innocent? (don't ask me why the burial occurred before the funeral, i don't know. i'm rather confused by that fact, actually. all i know is the burial was on the friday shortly before justin was arrested and the funeral/memorial service was the next afternoon. if anyone can help resolve my confusion on that, please do.)
8) why did justin really lie to the police in the first place? i know what he SAID about why he lied initially ... but what's the real reason? he's been false and secretive since day one. i don't think he's telling anyone the truth about what happened, even now.
...
i got curious about what oklahoma law said about what justin is in for now that he's formally charged ... if he is convicted of the murders. what i found is bad for him. here's a copy of the research i did ...
capuital punishment statues for Oklahoma:
http://law.findlaw.com/state-laws/capital-punishment/oklahoma/
if he "
knowingly created great risk of death to more than one person" they can seek the death penalty. yes, that's right folks. the great state of Oklahoma believes in killing murders back. and if Justin is found guilty of both counts of first degree murder, the man is SOL. because by killing his wife whom he KNEW to be 2 months pregnant, he definitely fulfilled that clause in the capital punishment statues.
as to why he can be charged with _2_ murder counts, Oklahoma also believes that life begins at conception. that means, that killing a pregnant woman is equivalent to killing 2 people at once.
and that is found here:
http://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/DeliverDocument.asp?CiteID=69292
A. Homicide is the killing of one human being by another.
B. As used in this section, "human being" includes an unborn child, as defined in Section 1-730 of Title 63 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
other fun knowledge about oklahoma murder statutes:
http://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/DeliverDocument.asp?CiteID=69297
A person also commits the crime of murder in the first degree, regardless of malice, when that person ... takes the life of a human being during, or if the death of a human being results from, the commission ... of murder of another person
so, basically, according to all that, if justin's found guilty of 1st degree murder of jaymie, he's automatically guilty of 1st degree murder of the unborn child jaymie was carrying when she was killed.
can you say "screwed"? how about "massively screwed"? cause that's where he is if he's convicted.
i'm not saying the man is guilty. not at all. but what we already know of the evidence against him, it looks like he's up a polluted tributary sans paddle ... perhaps even sans boat, if you follow me.
and based on that "probable cause" affidavit, i'd say they got the warrant for arrest not just because of what we know, but what about what they found in jaymie's van and tina's car? this arrest was less than a week(?) after they took the van back in to be re-processed? i can't help but wonder what they found in those cars ... and what they DIDN'T find in the truck belonging to the man who claims he contacted Jaymie via craigslist.
there's still so many unanswered questions.
oh, and all of the above, doesn't even include what impact that the victim impact statements that can be presented during sentencing might have on the folks deciding what to do with the foul monster ... here's exactly what oklahoma does in regards to victim impact statements:
http://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/DeliverDocument.asp?CiteID=70774
yah. that's right. colby and his parents (cindy, kent AND peggy), as well as all his sibs, even those of Jaymie's kids who are old enough can present victim impact statements. not only present them, but have them added to the court transcript unedited. ... i don't think any of Jaymie's children are old enough to participate, though.
i don't think justin thought this through before he did what it looks like he did. either that, or he foolishly thought he wasn't going to get caught. oh, well. he screwed his own



to the tree on this one. i don't feel at all sorry for him. i do feel sorry for jaymie's kids, all her friends and family .. and especially poor colby. she had always been the one constant in his life. even when she wasn't talking to him, she was always there.
