TX - Jonathan Foster, 12, Houston, 24 Dec 2010 - Mona Nelson charged with Murder - #9

[krazyfingerzz]

I believe somewhere an article said everyone was questioned again today?Don't get me wrong.I do strongly feel she could have done it on her own also.Anyone who can burn a body(a corpse,especially a child)is psychotic.I'm just looking into what everyone is saying and trying to figure out what I think happened.I would like to look at all angles and theories.I do believe she burned the body and hid him.Just maybe she really didn't kill him.I'd have to hear more as it all comes out.

But consider this, for a moment. No matter if she used her tools after death, or was the cause of death, what does it say that she could go on as though nothing was wrong? It's almost worse to have burned the body. Anyone who would/could do that is really the only one that could be responsible in the first place. I don't know if that makes sense. Think about the video, and what they found in that apartment, and her behavior after. She might have been drunk, and dumped something that she didn't know about. Someone might have even burned a child in her home without her knowing (though the family was with police from about 3:30 so who that would be, I have no clue). Now, she wakes up the next day, sober, looks around, and just goes about her business? Not something that an innocent person would or could do. I want to say it's not something a sane person would/could do, but I really hate the thought of her using that plea. It's just that no matter how I look at it, she's it.

I agree and someone else wasn't involved.

:waitasec: but I think someone else IS involved and that person killed Jonathan!

I'm ready your post as you feel it was Mona alone! Am I correct in my thoughts?

 

[Filly]

Absolutely agree. But why direct hate at a 12 year old boy?

For it to be classified a hate crime what? She was prejudiced against the little guy because he had ADD? He was Caucasian? He was maybe Baptist or name any other Religion.

Either she's a complete psycopath or there's something we're all missing.

 

[Patty G]

Well maybe that's why forensic testing of her apartment is going on, don't you think? I am sure they will test the torches and the carpet, etc.

That will prove that the horrific act was done at the house, but will it show that the murder actually occured there?

It appears by reports that precious Jonathan was NOT alive at the time.

It doesn't appear so from the more recent report where LE think he was killed by a torch.
"One officer said on Friday that the autopsy has ruled out any trauma on the child's body. There were no broken bones or any signs of strangulation or head wounds, so officers said it now appears the child was killed with a welding torch that could be capable of 6,000-degree flames."

The young boy is dead. I cannot judge this person or his motives or his love for his son. I suppose I could, but I don't want to.

To my knowledge we have him saying he is devastated and needs supprt and will be leaving the immediate area to go and seek it. Who am I to judge. Just as I will not judge mom, who LE has cleared, I will not cast judgement on dad's shortcomings in the support you ex area.

From what I understand, AD went to her mother's house soon after a positive ID was made on the body. DD is on his own right now, and apparently trying to mourn this child all by himself. His time spent with this child seems to be almost equal to AD's in the past 5 years so who is to say his feelings are not on par with hers? I can completely understand why he might want to go elsewhere where he can get some support.

 

[Dear Prudence]

I made my statement solely based on what we all are hearing via press conferences, timelines, evidence they stated they took and so on.

I don't find "reasonable doubt" to be a strange statement especially with the timeline of events from 1:45 PM to a little after 2:00 PM.

ETA: All it takes is ONE JUROR to have reasonable doubt!

But a courtroom trial is completely different than what we're hearing in the media and from one press conference. This isn't Florida, no sunshine laws, all the evidence will be revealed at trial only.

 

[Linda7NJ]

I do feel Mona is guilty of disposing of the body - 100% and that can be confirmed via the surveillance camera.

I can lean towards the fact that perhaps after the death of Jonathan, Mona could have done the horrific acts, but someone has to prove to me that she killed Jonathan.

I don't know all of the evidence but I know SHE took that boy from his home to HERS. The "burning" evidence is in her home. The timeline is extremely narrow. Parents have been ruled out. I would have zero qualms sticking the needle in her arm myself.

 

[Beyond Belief]

This killer was making a statement. Burn a body with a torch and leave it will where it will definitely be found. Whatever her thinking which I can't even begin to understand was trying to communicate somekind of message.

I did read that article and I thought that it was stated at the press conference that the child was not alive when it happened.

 

[Openmind]

Nelson told community activist Quanell X that police need to take a closer look at Jonathan's stepfather.

"She said she's not a child killer and she would never do this," community activist Quanell X said.

Quanell X said that Nelson told him she feels wrongly accused and that Davis had a hand in the boy's death.



"She said the stepfather, David, paid her $20 to dispose of a container, and in that container she later learned it was the child's body," said Quanell X.


******

You have got to be kidding me, the above statements are nothing more than someone jumping into the ring so to speak to slip the race card into the mix. The next thing the "community activist" will do is pay for attorney for MN.

Quanell X's invitation to get together a "pity party" for MN is just as despicable as MN herself.

I do not know what exactly a "community activist" does however, I would hope that he is as caring and protective to Jonathan's mother and family who have has a child ripped from their arms in one of the most horrific ways anyone can even imagine.

The idea that anyone would believe the 20.00 to dump a container story that MN wants spew out neglects to give explanation of the evidence collected at her home.

MN can lawyer up and get those who wish to support her in the community to do just that if they wish to. With the information so far it seems as MN fate is death row. I do not believe that LE would name her as only suspect and make arrest as they did so soon and be so open about their confidence in the case unless she was the ONLY person that EVIDENCE led them to.

The community activist can throw a pity party on how she "feels" wrongly accused but the only victem in this is Jonathan and his family.

I don't think Quannell is getting any sympathy for MN from any part of the community. The interviews of the people that live in that area are expressing shock, dismay, and no one has said once MN is being mistreated or falsely accused. Some are surprised but isn't that true in just about all these cases? Who could ever guess you would know anyone capable of this kind of crime? It is the ultimate of evil.

How do you know that she took him from his house to hers? Was there a witness that stated they saw Mona take Jonathan out of the house and get into Mona's truck?

I do think she knew about the body in the container,I do think she burned him and disposed of the body.But I feel someone else may have killed him and she possibly was there.If there are other people involved they need to pay too.I agree with you.It was psychotic,sick and wrong for her to burn little Jonathan.It's makes me very mad.I will not defend her.

I'm ready your post as you feel it was Mona alone! Am I correct in my thoughts?

Why do you feel someone else is involved and she didn't kill him? We know of nothing that indicates another being involved. Is it because she's a woman?

 

[Filly]

I am interested in this too.May I please ask.What is the New Black panther party?

Unfortunately I have to give you the Wiki version. Their site is undergoing changes or something.

Oh dear God! But I thought there was no evidence of smoke in his lungs? I so hope he didn't experience being burned alive. I will pray they missed something or he was knocked out, drugged, something!!!

I think the part of the article quoted with my post speaks for itself.

I do too.I agree with you.Someone else killed little Jonathan.Maybe I worded that wrong.I'm sorry.

Because it's a torch and not fire maybe the smoke wouldn't be in the lungs? We know no gasoline was used in burning. I am sure at trial experts would be giving their opinions on what could have killed him.

Sadly I thought the same thing.

Even the Mafia wouldn't purposely murder and burn a child though. Well, the Italian Mafia.
