Who is EO? I don't see those initials. :blushing:

And don't forget the 1928 murder of little Grace Budd, and one of the worst monsters of all time.

When I'm researching cold cases, I'm often shocked by the number of old news items I run across that report kidnappings and murders of little children as far back as the 19th century.
I have a feeling when they make an arrest in this case, WHO they arrest is going to be more shocking than the crime itself.
Years ago when I was a lot younger, I lived in one of these trailer parks for about 3 years while I was working in the oilfield in Texas.
It is very common for younger kids and older kids to mingle around with each other, and the older kids are pretty much looked at as community appointed babysitters for the younger kids. There is sort of an unwritten code among the residents that everybody keeps an eye out for everybody elses kids.
With inside knowledge of how these trailer parks are structured, and basically self-governed, I think this may turn out to be an older child or a teenager that is responsible.The age difference may not turn out to be nearly as great as you might think.
I think she was lured out into those woods by somebody she knew, and probably knew pretty damn well, if it was in the darkness of night.
I think at this point, the perp could be male or female. This may not necessarily be a sex crime. Then again, that might be exactly what it is. There can be a lot of jealousy and resentment generated amongst playmates. Older kids sometimes view the younger kids as being a nuisance and tag-alongs that they would rather not have around. Fuel that simmering anger with some alcohol and possibly some illegal drugs, and you have yourself a crime scene.
In almost every park, there is a place that the older kids like to use as a getaway spot so they can avoid the scrutiny of the grownups and smoke cigarettes, drink beer, make out, talk loud, etc.. I have no doubt that the kids living in that park knew all the trails and hiding spots in the wooded area like the back of their hand, especially the older kids. They aren't afraid of the dark, matter of fact, they welcome it.
The location she was found certainly looks like one of those great hiding spots for somebody trying to avoid the prying eyes of the area residents. It is close to the park, yet totally secluded from view. It is far enough away that noises would be muffled, or not heard at all.
Obviously we'll have to wait and see, but don't be too shocked who it turns out to be.
I think the person who killed Jenise was trusted by her family and potentially took advantage of the teenage brother being out of town, lives in the immediate community and lacks transportation aside from the Bus/bike, marginal intelligence and social capacities (frustrated and rejected socially/sexually), is publicly "grieving" and trying to look sympathetic to the family, possibly even attending the community vigils, behaving like a victim on social networking sites, etc.
I think LE knows exactly who he is but they are cementing their hard evidence and rock-solid case as we speak--and perhaps seeing if there is any possibility another perp was involved.
Unless they were actually reading their texts on their phones, I'm not sure that would tell them?
ETA: If a teen/minor is responsible, I really don't think his friends new about it. I think perhaps NOW they are starting to put it together, but I don't think anybody helped him. IMO.
"I'll miss her coming over and asking to play and I'll miss the I-love-you's and how she asked me to come over," she said. "Her smile was so unique and special and her laugh was always making my day. I'll miss our adventures to the creek and how I would hold her close so I wouldn't lose her.
A long statement from Jenise's friend at the vigil. This part stood out.

I'll look for the links to back up this post and I'll come back to edit but early on it was determined that although a child did place the 911 call, the phone was then passed to Jenise's father who was sitting right there with the child.
ETA: Here's the link to when we discussed it http://www.websleuths.com/forums/sh...erton-2-August-2014-1&p=10823985#post10823985
Here is a c/p of what is at the link:

Maybe this is where all of the confusion is coming from whether there was one or two calls and if a neighbor called or whatnot....
In the comments of this news article there is a poster (initials TCL) who basically says her son is the one actually placed the original phone call to police and then he handed the phone to Jenise's dad, James.
