Why would she leave her cell phone at home? Was she abducted at her house? Or her mom's? Why would she have left her keys in the car? Or did someone else use her car. Seems rather odd.

I wouldn't say they party there, but I'm not in the loop!! I only go home a few times a year.

Burnt Mountain is listed as a "recreation area" on my google map. I blew it up and the access roads are so complicated. This takes me back to a local, and not just anyone, but someone who hunts/fishes/camps/4-wheels?? This isn't somewhere I would go without a GPS!

Plus there are a lot of small roads out there interconnecting all the little rural areas. If you are a local but haven't been out that way, you might get lost. For example, the Coos Bay Wagon Road (yes, it is really was an old wagon road, I've been on it) goes all the way to Roseburg throught the boonies, unpaved. You would NEVER travel this way unless you purposely wanted to go for a drive. It might look fairly simple on a map but it is extremely rural.

==============================================

I would agree. This has to be a local, who knows all the back roads.
I've tried some of the back roads and they are not fun to drive.
Could be just me.
They are sometimes graveled, if you're lucky and
can be just hard packed rutted dirt roads.
There are usually no shoulders on the road
and there might be room for two cars going in opposite directions.

If that is where he took Jayme,
I am doubling my prayers tonight.

I was wondering if she forgot to charge her phone and thought she would take a shower and then go back home and get the phone before she took off for work. Her house is on the same property as her mom's, so it is really close.

That could be. I understand what her mom was saying because I am a blackberry user and often my phone even went to the bathroom with me. I know...that's bad. lol

This makes me think of Jodi Huisentruit. She was the Iowa TV news anchor who disappeared in 1995. She called in late to work too and there were signs of a struggle near her car which was parked outside of her apartment. There was even a palm print left on her car but she has never been found and there have been no real POIs. People wondered about a stalker in Jodi's case as well because her job on TV made her a high profile person in the community but there weren't the obvious signs of one like in Jayme's case. I hope this turns out better for Jayme and her family.

Scandi, the area is full of logging roads. Now that we have GPS, I wouldn't go wandering out there without one. On NG the reporter from the Oregonian mentioned Burnt Mtn being 50 miles away, I think she is looking at the wrong Burnt Mtn. NG seemed intrigued by BURNT MOUNTAIN and repeated it several times. Expect them to go off on the wrong track.

OT: Thanks for checking out Leah's info, I worked really hard on all of it. My head was spinning after I finished with all the details.

This article mentions the well was the source of water problems and she had problems in the past.

...snip...Sandi Woodworth, Oregon Satellite’s Coos Bay store manager, described Austin as her right-hand person.

“If I needed anything done, she was right there to do it for me,” Woodworth said. “She’s just a friendly, outgoing person.”

On Monday, Austin called Woodworth, the last person to speak with her, to say she was having well troubles and would be late to work. She planned to shower at her mom’s house, two doors down.

“She’d been having trouble with her water prior,” Woodworth said.



OT: I noticed this comment, it was left by Jeremy Bright's mother, he has been missing since 1986 from the Coos County Fair in Myrtle Point. Very close by.

I pray that she is found safely. Sounds like she made quite a turn around in her life. My heart goes out to the family and most certainly her children. Not knowing is the hardest - I know - I've waited to hear for over 23 years.... Jeremy's Mom

 

[nursebeeme]

bumping up for Jayme....

 

[chicagofa13]

After reading it again I think her phone was found at her Mom's?? Also, it wouldn't be unusual to park you car and leave the keys in it. People are very trusting and consider themselves safe.

 

[tiredblondy]

Could the bathtub have somehow overflowed, maybe in the struggle her foot closed the plug??

 

[txsvicki]

Maybe it's all tied to the cell phone. Jayme called her boss saying there was well trouble and she'd be late. If she also called her mom and said she'd be bathing at her house, then the abductor could have had the phone bugged. That could explain the phone being back at Jayme's house. Maybe he had to clean something up or remove something from the house. The person who did this could be a customer of Jayme's employer or someone known there who'd have the knowledge to hack into phones and internet. Could there have even been a tracking device on her vehicle?

Abductions just do not make sense to me...

One thing, if someone entered the house to rape and attack a woman why would they take her with them?

If they killed a woman, why would they take her with them and now have to find a spot to dispose of a body?

I always sort of thought that if it is an inside player they dispose of the body to get the evidence away from their "home".

It just does not make sense to me right now.. at all...

I think you did a great job. I think of all the time you saved me. LOL

From Reston to Coquille is 55 miles. Now I don't know how far Reston is from Burnt Mountain, but it is 5 miles E of it, 50 miles would be right on.

You know, this reminds me of a similar road the Kim family took, Hwy 42, in early 2008. cutting over from I-5 to find Coos Bay on their way to Gold Beach. The car got stranded off a side road and he set out to get help and never made it out alive. It pretty well parallels this road from Coquille up and across, past Burnt Mountain to Roseburg. 9 days of HE!!, and I'll never forget the day they found him. xox xox

 

[chicagofa13]

Yes Scandi, that road was south of Coquille! What a crazy thing he did not turning around. Anyway...

On my google map there are two ways to Burnt Mtn. I did it from Coquille, one route via Fairview Rd, 31.2 miles. The other via Coos Bay Wagon Road is 42. Then I did one from Fairview, which is the general vicinity of Jayme's house (don't have exact addy). It is only 22.4 miles. And I got google earth shots. (They really are everywhere!). That is why I think the reporter is off. It's not 50 miles by any stretch. I think this is where they are searching, not a further location.

I am not savvy enough to figure out why I can't get the map to post. But if someone wants to do it, use Fairview OR and Burnt Mountain OR and choose Coos County. There are a lot of Burnt Mtn in OR.

 

[Kimster]

OOO man I am trying this but not sure it is going to work. I came up with about 31 miles

Chicago, the link to this map worked pretty good for me. I was able to scootch it around and see the roads.

On NG last night they were making it sound like the perp was the one that vacuumed up the bathroom, I don't buy it, but if this is true then he would know the victim and the family well enough to know where the vacuum was kept (In the closet). In that case this most likely was a friend of the family. Hope LE tested for prints on the vacuum.

txsvicki: I agree with bugging the phone, it seems this person knew everything else about Jayme as far as e-mail accounts and net working sites. I think it could be someone she knew from work, someone she sold to.

I think with the floor being soaked the perp may have surprised Jayme while she was showering and a struggle happened with the water still on. If it is true towels in the dryer (Only heard that one on WS) perp could have needed to dry off and put the towels in the dryer, (Didn't hear if the dryer was in the bathroom or other room in the house) the heat would kill DNA .....but I just can't see him/her sticking around to do that.
This case sure leaves a lot to think about, I hope she is found safe.

==================

In the most graphic sense, abductors take people
so they can spend more time with them,
alone, in a solitary place.

But, upon returning to her Fairview home, she found Austin’s car parked safely in the driveway.

Inside, a heater continued to blow hot air, towels waited in a dryer, and Gisholt found Austin’s new Droid cell phone, abandoned.

“She wouldn’t go anywhere without it.”

more at link..

 

[JulieR]

Darn the link don't work for me. Was the dryer still running at the mothers house? This would mean the prep had less then an hour head start before anyone found Jayme was missing? To me it would also mean more took place in the house then we are hearing.
