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

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?

You bring up a valid question. For all we know someone else may have brought Jonathan to Mona.

There is a witness putting her at his home. There are the phone calls to mom's work from the boys home. He was burned in Mona's home.

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?

The timeline of events. Stepfather shows up at 1:45 PM and the rest is well known with the phone calls, who answer, mother home etc.

I would never rule out a woman when a murder happened.

I have alot of splinters in my backside from sitting on fences, but not this time. Female voice on the phone, burned carpet in her apt, video at the drop site. I would just like to know the "why".

I am pretty sure police know the timeline a lot better than we are.
I presume it makes sense to them or they wouldn't rule everyone else out.

Bumping this post from Bean. We have conflicting reports as of now. At the press conference the detective said the possibility does not exist. Now today they are saying the possibility does exist.

Yes, just listened to it, and transcribed the relevant part. At 9:40 in this video.

Reporter asks: "Is there a possibility he was burned alive?"

Detective says: "I don't believe that, no. There's not. We've already conferred with the district, uh, the medical examiner's office, and that possibility does not exist."

Over the many years I have been here, I have often posted my opinions on female murderers, and predators. I have always felt a lot of unsolved cases were done by a female, and they have gotten away with evil acts for years.

Maybe more will be solved if LE opens their eyes more as to what some women are capable of doing. I hope so for the victims that have never seen justice.

Post respectfully snipped. I firmly believe this as well. Very good post IMO.

Where's the witness that sees Mona leaving with Jonathan? We know the step-father was at the house at 1:45 PM too as he admitted that one himself at some point (IMO).

:waitasec: that makes two people at the house within the same amount of time.

We have to remember these detectives aren't medical examiners. I am sure at trial medical examiners will testify as to what could have killed him. Possibly being torched to death gotta be very unusual cause of death so that could add to the confusion as to whether one should expect sot in the lungs or not.

I am a "beyond a REASONABLE doubt" kinda gal.

I am comfortable connecting the dots right now. I don't need a witness or a video tape to show she transported him there. She was at his house, he ended up in hers. Burned and later dumped by her.

Now pass me that needle!

I agree, LE probably has a better idea of the timeframe, but all I had to go on is what LE stated at the press conference regarding the timeframe. :crazy:

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.

We all want the DA to prove his case Patty and I have no doubt he will do just that.

DAs don't take it lightly when they charge someone with capital murder.

IMO

Please save your shock for what Mona did.

Heaven only knows what what was going through MN mind.

I just cannot get past the idea of her saying she was drunk on vodka. That does not sit well with me and I hope LE ran tests for other substances in her system. She obviously had been in and out of her apartment since that fateful evening. With the evidence LE collected no doubt there were some horrible odors there and the damage from the torch. I also do not see how you could remove that type of odor with a shower and a change of clothes.

I do not believe for one minute anyone else murdered this precious child.
I certainly do not believe someone else was at her apartment and murdered Jonathan and then she just would casually come in and take him out of there in a container and dispose of him. This makes me ill to think it, much less type it.

And I certainly do not like the path her defense seems to be taking. Calling in Quanell X. I do not want this to turn into a circus.

God Bless you little man. :rose:
JMHO

Respectfully snipped. I don't believe there was a "defense" when MN requested to speak with QX. I have not seen any reference to her having an attorney yet.

MOO :twocents:

 

[oceanblueeyes]

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.

Happy New Year Linda.

It is sad that we all come together to grieve another precious life lost.

They said Mona was known to hang around where Jonathan lived. I think she saw his step dad leave and then she struck when the opportunity was right.

He was a child. She probably told him she had something to show him or that she had some fantastic video games at her house he could play. You know how cunning psychopaths can be.

imo

 

[Patty G]

I just want to know why Jonathan had to be checked on at 1:45 PM.

 

[SuziQ]

I believe it was stated there was no soot in his lungs.. but that's not a direct quote and i saw it posted on here

FWIW and sadly, not all fires or methods of creating heat create smoke. High heat burns so completely that there is little pollution created. Think of a waste or medical incinerator.

Also FWIW, come to think of it, I've never seen a smokey or smelly welding shop. Maybe for the above reasons I posted. IDK.

 

[epiphany]

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.

There is no proof that Jonathan's body was in a plastic container. There is no proof that such a plastic container even exists. LE spoke about a trash can found at Mona's residence. If there was a plastic container, Mona got takeout prior to visiting her victim's family on Xmas Eve and after dumping this child. It would fit with her nonchalant demeanor that's been described by MSM.
