GUILTY TX - Jubal Alexander, 24, found decapitated, Angleton, 27 April 2016

[Everyday Grace]

Everyday Grace, you should be called Amazing Grace! Your posts are Amazing! I happen to like Jubal's name very much. It's very unique and special, like he was before someone robbed this earth of a good man. It is unusual and I too think he was very talented. It just breaks my heart to here his father plead for information and the message on the concrete pillar where Jubal and his truck were found brings me to tears. I am going to take some time to listen to him play his guitar and pray there will be Justice for Jubal.

Thank you, but I'm just the everyday version given to us all.

My wish is also that there be justice for this young man. May the love that binds us all be the healing balm we can offer for this man's life.

I think Jubal was killed elsewhere, too, EG. He was probably put back in the truck at night when notice would be much less likely. He could have been killed at any time during the week. Sorry to keep coming back to this but the smell of death permeates the air and can be smelled from a distance. It made me uneasy that they had his vigil there as the smell would have been pungent.
(and no one was wearing masks).
The other thing about being killed elsewhere and then putting a lifeless body back in his truck is....they had to leave some traces of DNA... either on the body or /and in the truck.

The weather and/or high water may not have been conducive for for anyone to go canoeing or fishing for that week.
According to Weather Underground, it was cloudy and overcast in Angleton with some rain during the time period.
May 3, the day Jubal was found, was the first sunny day in some time.

I tend to believe he was killed there. If he was killed elsewhere, why bother bringing him back to his truck? And, I don't believe someone drove his truck with him dead in it back to a spot where he normally sleeps.

Speaking of the timeline, here is a very graphic explanation of what happens in decomposition. Jubal may have just gotten "ripe" when he was found. Maybe with the fisherman being in LE, that is what really drew him to look into the truck?

This is about little piglets!

Have you read what happens with decapitation? I won't put it here as the article includes too much verbage. I will continue to look however, for a more "readable" version.

More flooding for the area:



Swollen river feeds flooding near Houston as residents flee

During four days of torrential rain last week, six people died in floods along the Brazos, which runs from New Mexico to the Gulf of Mexico. A Brazos River Authority map showed that all 11 of the reservoirs fed by the Brazos were at 95 to 100 percent capacity.

Four of the six dead were recovered in Washington County, which is between Austin and Houston, County Judge John Brieden said Monday. Lake Somerville, one of the Brazos reservoirs, was "gushing uncontrollably" over the spillway and threatening people downriver, he said.

Sorry I am so fixated on this but do you suppose if blood had seeped from the truck, that it would have been washed away by all the rainy weather? I just don't think I could be at the place where my son's blood was still visible.

Yes, I do think any blood leaked from the truck would have been washed away. It's horrible to think about what happened there. I wonder if the windows were up or down? Was the truck locked? I believe what happened to Jubal happened right there. The heavy rains probably destroyed any tire tracks, foot prints, etc. Praying that someone hears something that will be helpful in finding the person or persons who did this to Jubal.

 

[Razz]

Some of the points of the article are valid in this case. Especially Point 3 which leads me to believe the decapitation did not occur in the truck.

ok. I promise no more posts from me re decompositiin after this one. But this is about the odor of death and why I can't shake the thought about what the smell must have been like under the underpass. Or, why I think he may not have been there that long.

Do we know if the windows were closed or not? How much odor would escape the confines of the truck?
There may also have been a breeze blowing through under that underpass that may have helped dissipate some of the odor. The smell of exhaust fumes from the highway above and boat motors on the water and the natural gases from the surrounding swamp and marsh areas may have also helped to mask the odor of death.

I don't know but in the picture, the window was rolled up. But I don't think closed car doors would contain the smell.

And you were right about pigs being the closest to humans in decomposition. 😯🐖

It's a tough job, but someone had to do it. Very informative. Thanks Razz! If someone saw our search history, they'd think we were creepy!

This is heartbreaking. Be sure to read the comments following this post.

I don't know about the smell of human decay, but I can tell you that you can smell a deer or cow decaying from about a mile away. I've been out trailriding, and come across a deer that had died, and we smelled it about a mile before coming up on it.

First I want to say how sorry I am for Jubal's family and friends, as well as Jubal himself. He seemed from all accounts to be a special and well-loved person.

*******************************************
On decomposition in general - I live in a very populous city and there in a stretch of overgrown embankment in my area with a relatively busy road and houses just above that I travel down by foot on average once a day. There's a sidewalk on the embankment side and there's always a pedestrian or two on it during the day and often at night as well. Twice now people have died on that embankment and they weren't discovered until quite some time later. Both times before the bodies were discovered I noticed an odd smell when passing by, but there are a number of inexplicable odd smells that come and go in the area. I want to stress just how narrow a stretch of land this is- it's literally a stones throw across one side to the other (if the foliage in the spring/summer didn't block the stone). Also, both people remained unfound during some very warm weather. I guess what I'm trying to say is it isn't difficult for me to grasp why nobody reported they smelled anything particularly suspicious.

This is a new fb post and explains what happened to the one I posted earlier. Haven't heard from our Texas wbs in a while. Hope you're not fighting the floods!

I am from the area. Not sure if I could be of any help here, but just generally curious about the whole thing. My husband also works FOR INEOS. He had not heard anything about it. INEOS is a big plant. Also, I have smelled a dead body. It s the most unforgettable smell. My neighbor who lived directly across the street from me had died in her backyard in her hot tub. I believe it was summer time. The smell was horrible. We would sit out on our front porch a lot, but it was not easy during that time. Of course I had no idea what the smell was, but it def wasn't right. My next door neighbor knew what it was right away, however he also fought in WWII. There is quite a bit of flooding in the West side of Brazoria County near West Columbia and also parts of Angleton area near 35 on the west side of HWY 288, and also a very small portion of the west area of Lake Jackson near HWY 332 and FM 2004. The community is coming together. People and many animals being rescued, and people coming together to help with food and sand bagging etc. Our community here in the lower Brazoria County is awesome. There is a facebook group page called Brazos River Flooding Info & Assistance Group where you can see many pictures and videos. After this is all over, the facebook page will stay up and be used for emergency and info purposes. Can someone tell me if his head was ever found? Someone told me that they found his head a few days later under the overpass? I can't find that info anywhere.

Also, driving on 2004, I do not believe his truck would have been visible from the road. And on top of that, not many people have a chance to even concentrate on one spot for too long, because this road is a long and dangerous road. There are only two lanes and everybody goes much faster than the speed limit. there is not much room if any for pulling over to the side, so concentration on the road is a matter of survival! It's really crazy. Lots of accidents on this road.
