TX - Jonathan Foster, 12, Houston, 24 Dec 2010 - #4

[belimom]

W is the middle initial of the RSO in Lubbock, TX. He had the same name as DD.

Right - knew about that one. But it seems that someone had mentioned the W middle initial earlier in another thread. I'll see if I can find it...

ETA: Okay - I did a search and don't see it listed. Maybe someone listed the RSO as having the same name, and I took it to mean they had the same EXACT name. My bad! Sorry for the confusion! See how easy it is to get rumors started?!? LOL

SNIP>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

UPDATE: A close family friend has been arrested and is expected to be charged with the kidnapping and murder of 12-year-old Jonathan Foster, a police source close to the investigation said today.

The woman, whose name has not been released, was arrested this morning at her home, the source said

If she was a family friend, she'd know his mom's name is angela...... UGH this just gets more confusing

Okay, but if this was a "close family friend," wouldn't she know that Angela is his mother? Weird.

IMO, there is no way that we can SAFELY guess who this person might be...

FYI...Harris county jail has the 3rd largest number of inmates in any jail in the US with an AVG daily population in EXCESS of 10,000...and that was from 2007 - 2009...

I know right? I was wondering why she wasn't in cuffs :waitasec:
and they just let her walk around...hmmm

They may have took in in for questioning and as a result of what didn't come out at questioning or what came out at questioning, decided to arrest her at that time.

A close family friend.................hmmmm.

UPDATE: A close family friend has been arrested and is expected to be charged with the kidnapping and murder of 12-year-old Jonathan Foster, a police source close to the investigation said today.
The woman, whose name has not been released, was arrested this morning at her home, the source said.
A break in the case came when a vehicle that "was very identifiable as her vehicle" was spotted on surveillance video taken from an office building near the ditch where a body believed to be Jonathan’s was found in the 9900 block of East Hardy on Tuesday.

This makes NO SENSE either. A close family friend that didn't even know the boy's mother's name? Mom didn't recognize the voice? WTH???

I wonder if MSM had it wrong and it was her car they towed, not the SD's?

Article says a close family friend is the Suspect. Charged with kidnapping and murder. :furious:

It also contradicts an earlier article in the thread that states that the car seen on camera at the business nearby where the body was found was the suspects, this close family friend...?

Lots of weird facts swirling. I lived in Houston for 8 years, and to me, the most reliable of all of the sources is KHOU but that is because I know one of the reporters personally, we went to the same church for the better part of 5 years. JMO.

This is so sad. You can't trust anyone anymore. The poor child must have trusted her and she just destroyed his little soul. Makes me sick that this happens in this world.

Okay, but if this was a "close family friend," wouldn't she know that Angela is his mother? Weird.

Not necessarily if she's a "friend" of the stepfather's.

"Close family friend" and mysterious phone call at work don't jive with me.... Hinkola.

 

[Melanie]

GRRR.. this is just ONE of my pet peeves regarding the media reports on this case. Why can these media people not get even a name correct?

This baby-child's name is JONATHAN, not Justin!

The article has been corrected.

Am strongly suspecting that this was not a close family friend of Angela's but rather a close family friend of another close family member.

The mysterious roommates friend????

That made me laugh out loud! Not that it's actually funny, it's not. I guess all the mis-information thing has really gotten to me

Yep, that's what I was thinking, too.

A different video take on it:
http://www.click2houston.com/video/26312243/index.html

According to this reporter, the woman who was questioned/arrested lived in the same "neighborhood" not far at all from the mom's apartment.
