Found Deceased WA - Jenise Wright, 6, Bremerton, 2 Aug 2014 - #2 *Arrest*

[Unsolved]

From all I've read it has not been confirmed at all that anyone saw her Sunday. Some have said they thought they did but no one's come right out and said "yes, I saw her about 2pm on Sunday afternoon" or anything like that. Honestly I don't think anyone did see her on Sunday, which tells me she's been gone a lot longer than previously suspected.

ITA. On JVM last night she asked reporter Russ Bowen from KOMO news about some reports of sightings on Sunday and he said they were still unconfirmed and they "can't find one neighbor to tell them the same thing". Though I guess it could be that everybody is afraid to talk now?

I drove around.

Park is a mostly a mix of retired people, single women, young parents, ex-military and current military. The new search dogs are getting ready to go out again with FBI. They are grouping at fire station.

4-5 police cars seen off 303 by where the homeless camp is behind the community.

FBI are going door to door for DNA samples of everyone in park....everyone co-operating.

 

[rebeccaeee]

The going back in the park today with a specific purpose jumped out at me. Would not expand either hmmmm

Me too. Special purpose with special dogs.

 

[matou]

Did anyone else here someone say "Yes, we're planning on a 4:30" to the press off camera after the interview was over? I wonder if he was referring to another presser this afternoon.

two pressers in one day?

Did they get any real sightings of Jenise on Sunday?

Really, literally everyone? Wow, are they just building a data bank, or is that fro a specific reason? Very interesting, never seen that in a case before.

I don't take it as fear, just as eye witnesses not being reliable. JMO

I agree. I think that's pretty telling. I think they've found something we do not know about.

 

[Magdalyn]

Progress is good!

But I wonder: what progress?

I'm thinking it might mean they're confident she's not in the MHP and can eliminate that area as a site???

My guess right now is they are developing through interviews in the community a clear picture of the who, and can make an educated guess about the what.

I think this is like Jorelys Rivera. I think it was someone they all know, in the community, and didn't give a second thought to him being around their kids. When they started interviewing everyone, many thought he (Ryan Brunn) acted odd, said odd things, spent too much time staring at the playground, etc. I think it's someone they all know and Jenise trusted.

Sadly, I do not think she's alive. I would sooooooooo love to be wrong!

two pressers in one day?

Did they get any real sightings of Jenise on Sunday?

It kinda sounds like none of those sightings really panned out to be solid enough to say " YES, we know she was in this park on Sunday". Maybe some people thought they did see her but then when considering the gravity of the situation said' I cannot say for sure' .

 

[SCHMAE]

I agree. I think that's pretty telling. I think they've found something we do not know about.

They have to have something. What good is a pile of dna samples with nothing to compare it to ?
Oh no......

 

[Makaroni]

I agree. I think that's pretty telling. I think they've found something we do not know about.

That's what I was thinking ... Like maybe clothing that could have been Jenise's in dumpster?? And had other dna ... Just speculating ... Hate to think about it!!

DNA samples, oh boy. Does LE know if there were any visitors Sat night who left during the night or next day?

 

[Kaydence]

How long would that many samples take to go through? We are talking hundreds. Even excluding women and children, there could be more than a hundred.

Wow, I've never seen it either.

They did it for Jessica Ridgeway in Colorado.

Bench said the FBI agents told her they were also collecting swabs from male residents who live near Jessica’s house, as well as near Pattridge Park, where her body was discovered by a road crew doing clean-up work. “They clearly have DNA coming from somewhere. They wouldn’t put in that much effort if there wasn’t any evidence,” Bench said.

I guess that's the reason for the 2nd presser today. JMO

I'm afraid the outcome is going to be the same as it was with Jessica.

I first heard this term with the Allana Gallagher case. It is a parenting style 'movement' and people in this movement refer to themselves as free range:

I do agree there is a balance, and I feel most parents, at least in my community, are balanced. Parents of the three to six year olds are out in their driveways watching their children play. 7,8, and 9 year olds are seen playing w/o constant supervision. 12-15 year olds are seen walking around the community, going to the pool, the park, the store. Most balanced parenting styles include allowing incremental steps toward independence having to do with the child's age, maturity level, the community surroundings, and their own gut feeling/comfort level. And, the child's comfort level.

That being said, I think most of us can agree that not clapping eyes on your six year-old for 22 hours on any given day, assuming they are fed when they miss lunch, assuming they are not hurt, getting into anything they shouldn't, under the umbrella excuse of "someone" in the community must be watching them, is not parenting at all. It's neglect.

I agree with what you said about incremental steps. I feel like it is fine to give kids some independence, appropriate for / relative to their age, but that doesn't mean let them wander about for hours on end scrounging for food where ever they can get it. My daughter doesn't play in our backyard for more than a few minutes without me looking out on her, checking in with her. The sliding door is always open and I can see her from many windows. Its new for us to HAVE a yard she can play in without me right there, like just this week new, and so this feels like a HUGE step to me!

It was talked about earlier that abductions and whatnot are not more prevalent now than they were even 10 years ago, and two kids riding their bikes down Main St. are very safe, and while that may be true (I haven't researched it), I don't think that means kids should be given carte blanche while they take to the road. Sure, stranger abductions are rare but they DO happen. IMO the kids who are most vulnerable to the chance of being abducted are the ones who spend time roaming around freely. It just seems to increase the odds. How many of the kids in cases like this have a history of spending lots of time alone? A predator can easily watch a child for a few days to determine when/how the best time to snatch them would be. Even if your kid goes on a bike ride alone most days for just a short time, the patterns are easy to discern, and someone who is looking for a victim will find one... I don't even think having a second kid riding with them makes that much difference. Look at Lyric and Elizabeth. Even though it highly unlikely any of our kids will be snatched by a stranger, why increase the risk by giving them more freedom than they actually need? I'm not saying put the kid in a bubble or put a lease on them, but there are safer ways to let a kid experience freedom than letting them go off.

Thank You I have been sitting here trying to think of the case they did this also.

Poor Jenise. Her story makes me so sad. Knowing how my 6 year old loves to be with me, to have me play with her, or even just sit in the yard and watch her play while I work, I can't imagine what a lonely life Jenise must have had. I don't know any six year old who WANTS to be out alone, who wants to be out in the dark, who wants to stand there awkwardly when her friends are getting ready to eat dinner waiting to see if their parents send her on or if they'll offer her a meal. Six year olds want to feel secure, loved, and taken care of. This poor little girl deserved so much better.
