Unless he felt some kind of remorse afterward. Put her somewhere she is sure to be found so she can be taken care of. Or he was leaving her there to brag about the power he had, that he could do something like that and not be caught.
Reading about Jonathan David Drew they said he didn't have the build up like most killers. He was reported as violently attacking girls when he was as young as 8 or 9. Usually they start with petty things like peeping or exposing themselves before they work up to actually attacking a live person.

Or harming animals. That's a big red flag, iirc.

I just finished a book about Jesperson (happy faced killer) and in his own words he says what I think we all suspect but it still makes me shudder to read, "it is just too easy to kill and get away with it when you are long haul trucker". I am not suggesting Jesperson is her killer but I think there are truckers out there that have yet to be caught and I'm fairly certain WCJD is the victim of one of them.

I think you’re correct about them being two way. I am not sure about the side roads or what the population north of town looked like at that time. The area where she was found is a little north of Huntsville. I’m guessing there was not much there. And he felt pretty safe not being caught dropping her there. He obviously wanted her to be found though. Anything indicator of SK I would think. Otherwise why but try harder to conceal or hide her so that she wouldn’t be Found.

I am not sure he wanted her to be found or not. I think she meant as much to him as flicking a cigarette butt. He didn't care if she was found. He was many hours down the road by the time they found her. He probably had her clothing as a souvenir to remember her but I don't think he cared one bit if she was found. JMHO

Animal harm, starting fires, and bed wetting I believe are the big 3 big red flags.

ICAM. The profile of a psychopath; no feeling. She was nothing more than an object to him. A kleenex to blow his nose on and toss away.

As I read this I reflect on how lucky I am to have the group of girlfriends I do. We are *so* protective of each other. We like to think of ourselves as being delightful and charming, but if a man crosses the line with any of us....we turn in to a pack of raging she-devils. I wish all women had friends like mine. : )

BBM. I wish they did too.

I was looking through a Rockport fb page and I was wondering if WCJD said she was from that area because she had been vacationing there that summer. Its not uncommon for families to have beach houses. I have seen a couple different names thrown out by locals as possible identities. I know they have been mentioned here but I haven't seen that anything came of it. If she was just a summer resident it would explain why she wasn't known to any of the schools or known around the community. Her reason for lying could be that she feared her parents/guardians had reported her as a runaway and that people would be looking for her.

Why did she give the duel answer of being from Aransas Pass or Rockport?

The ambiguous answer suggests that it was a decoy, especially when combined with her claim to be years older than she was.

Were those places chosen at random? Or perhaps they quickly came to mind because that's where the people who gave her a ride said they were from?

They are next to each other with a couple small communities between them. They would be the bigger places that people would recognize.

I managed subcontracts for our Harbor Island TX site it is on the road that goes to the ferry. Many people came from around the country, Texas and ajoining states to work there. Majority would stay in motels or campers etc.. I once stayed in one of the only motels around can't remember the name it was off the main highway it was family owned and had a BBQ place. This was in the late 90's. any who she could have been staying there temporarily while her parents, caretaker or guardian worked. In all it is a thought ...

Its possible she was living with a boyfriend or husband who was working down there. My dad is a welder and we stayed down in Corpus for a while when I was about a year old. When the job was done we went back home.

Exactly ..... "follow the work" its very common I think we opened the yard in 77 or 78 joint with Brown & Root (KBR) well before my time we sold it in 2014. In all its possible she could have been from somewhere else staying with family or a love interest while they were working in the area.

Many people that worked in the yard stayed in motels, camper parks or acquired apartments. It was more of a desolate area with industrial yards back in the late 70's from what I was told by the old timers.

Has Gina Hall been Excluded
Missing Person Case

The list of excluded persons I found names: Joyce Brewer, Kimberly Doss, Angela Meeker, Karen Zendrosky, Mary Trlica, Deborah McCall, Wendy Eaton, Marie Blee, Maria Anjiras, Kirsty Booth, Cindy King, Rachael Garden, Tina Kemp, Lauren Garden, Laureen Rahn, Roxanne Eastland, and Carla Corley.

Has Gina Hall been Excluded
Missing Person Case

She is not formally listed as an exclusion in NamUs, but Stephen Epperly was convicted of her first degree murder in Virginia, although her body was never found. Considerable blood was found, so my suspicion is that she is somewhere near Virginia, not our girl in Texas.

Sending love to Our Girl. We'll give you back your name someday, WCJD.

 

[daisy6441]

What would it take to get her DNA put in GEDmatch?

 

[Paul B.]

it's reading about cases like Our Girl that reminds me that serials killers in real life are not the same as serial killers in tv/movies. Real SKs don't stage elaborate scenes with tons of forensic evidence that will lead the police right to them and are much more likely to just strangle or throat-slit the victim and leave them in the woods or by the side of an Interstate.

 

[Alleykins]

What would it take to get her DNA put in GEDmatch?

From what I gathered from DDP, they will take on a case if asked by the investigators of that case and get the funding for it.
I can't remember, has someone put a bug in the ear of the investigators on WCJD's about DDP?

I found old news footage from 1979 where they went into Rebekah Home for Girls. It appears all the girls had to wear skirts or dresses. I think the red uniforms that had been mentioned before were just for the choir girls that traveled around. From what I have read about this place and New Bethany School for Girls (Louisiana) it sounds like they would hunt down girls who escaped. There was a report from New Bethany that a girl was found by a couple and people from the school stopped them and took the girl from their car.
I believe WCJD was said to have been wearing jeans. It seems like the strictness of this place would have forbidden her from wearing pants and they likely would have been taken if she did have them.
