His facebook is open-

On September 28th, he said; I'm hitting the road. This is my last photo post for a few weeks. Vacation time is upon me, and I'm taking to the road with a camera in hand - and no particular destination in mind. See you soon ... and thank you for your continued support of my work!

Yep, he hit the road alright

If this is the right guy, I am curious how many other victims there are in all those states that he travels. Especially since K said that there were pics of other girls in his vehicle.

If it IS the photographer he is actually 39.

You just never know who it will be. He had a lot to lose.(If it's him)

I suppose the girl will have to identify him. I feel for her.

 

[passionflower]

So now we can say the name,?

He posted on September 28th that he was going on "vacation" and to travel around to take photos. Sure. JMO

If it IS the photographer he is actually 39.

must be some earlier photos of him on his pages.

Knox: I don't know if we can post his name. The police have withheld it. But we found it and so did many others. xo

I wouldn't until there is a MSM link.

 

[matou]

I'm thinking this guy took more than nature photographs. Ugh......take ALL of his gadgets LE and search everything.

 

[TreeClimbingGirl]

The name has now been printed in the MSM-it is Jesse Paul Speer

 

[sfbaynancydrew]

It's definitely looking like it's him. The only person with his name in MT has the same middle initial and same age.

Still makes me uneasy until we know for sure though. If it IS, he has spent extensive time in CO taking pictures as well. Sort of makes one wonder...

Didn't the victim say she saw lots of photos of little girls?

There is kind of an MSM link but I cannot believe MSM was that irresponsible.
Just because he is the only guy showing up doesn't mean it's him... how about you let them release it before saying it?
If this is NOT the guy he has a great lawsuit against KTVQ.

If it IS him and he has ties to Colorado... are we still sure Jessica and this case aren't related? That's a huge coincidence.

yes-she did...

The cops have his vehicle and it seems to be the same one as the suspect vehicle.

I just don't see how a perp could escalate to the extreme of Jessica and then let this little one go. Seems backwards to me.

...he loves taking pictures of mountains and wind swept fields ... his book of photographs "Autumn"....( the season which is now)..
IMO he left his victim(s) in the very vistas he loved to photograph during his favorite season - I know it hasn't been connected, but many of his photos reminded me of the remote and picturesque field that darling angel Jessica Ridgeway was found - this is just heartbreaking and awful ... if he is indeed the perpetrator it is horrific to think that someone who can portray so much beauty in nature (through photography) can also perpetrate such evil and heinous acts on innocent victims... so twisted and unbelievable -but i think he fits both the FBI profiler's profile and the brave, little victims witness sketch.... may justice be served...
