| 12/28/06 John would like for everyone to know that he really appreciates the support and prayers that he is getting . He is getting mail....he just cannot respond to it. (yet) He will answer everyone's letters and asks that everyone keep writing to him. Address is above. John has claimed his innocence from the start. He was put under attack by the police department during questioning in April 2005. Though they tried "tricking" him repeatedly, he maintained his innocence. Even when the claimed DNA evidence, he told them he was innocent...he KNEW they had NONE of his DNA, HE DID NOT COMMIT THIS CRIME!! HE WAS NOT AT THE RECOVERY SCENE!! AND NOT WHERE THE BIKE WAS FOUND!! So, what did our law enforcement officials do, the police LIED, and told Johnny that they had a letter from his dad. Thinking this would make him buckle. They held up an envelope and claimed that inside of it was a letter that his dad had written... Telling them about his involvement in the death of the victim. What did John do? He maintained his innocence, because he KNEW that he had told his dad none of this. IT DID NOT HAPPEN. HE DID NOT TELL HIS DAD ANYTHING ABOUT IT, BECAUSE IT DID NOT HAPPEN!! He had no reason to think he would need a lawyer, or that the people whom were supposed to be upholding our laws... Would out and out lie. He just KNEW HE WAS INNOCENT of their claims. John's phone records (see below)show that he was at home at 9:15, 10:38 and 10:45. Jill logged off her computer at 9:32 a.m. - and went south. She was seen at Harrell and Moffatt about 9:45 - 9:50. If she immediately turned around, she would have been back to her starting point about 10:05 - 10:10. Then IF she went to Maple Grove Road, that would have taken about 30 minutes - 10:40 - right at the time John was on the phone. ( I might also add that Jill would have allowed herself enough time to get home and shower prior to having to be at work..so why would she even be in this area during this time frame?) Are we really to believe that John got off the phone at 10:46 - drove down the rode a mile, abducted her, and threw her bike in the cornfield so that it was seen at 11:00? That gives him about 10 minutes to do all of that. And, then there was no DNA in his car - did he take a blanket or something with him - in case he decided to abduct someone? Why would Jill have chosen to go 5 miles or more south and then all of the sudden,even though she had commitments very early that day, choose to take the far north route back past her home and toward Maple Grove? It would not have allowed her enough time to make it back home and do what she needed to prior to work. She would have calculated this in to her riding time prior to going to that area. The prosecution feels that John's phone records place him in the area at the time of her abduction... What evidence is there that she was abducted from that area. It only makes common sense that the time frame does not fit. THE PROSECUTION WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE THAT JOHN SAW HER ON MAPLE GROVE ROAD FROM HIS TRAILER, AND DECIDED TO ABDUCT HER. THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY HE COULD HAVE VIEWED HER FROM HIS TRAILER. IT IS NOT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE. In addition, ask any bicyclist in the area if they were to go out for a "quick ride" to get some training in and they had 90 minutes or so to return, shower, change, and clock in... Would they take anything even close to this route? On a normal day with no responsibilities, what rider would choose this path? It is NOT a route than anyone with any type of experience would even thing of taking. Try it, I have and it would not be a training ride to double back and come back thru town to get over to the north side. Nothing fits. She was definitely seen on the south side of town by a person very familiar to her. It only makes common and physical sense that she was abducted from the South side of town, and John was not there!! it. Any other evidence that might help him is long gone because of the time lapse since the crime. He has a video store that he went to at that time - the only one. He knew the owner very well and would stand and talk with her. They got a new computer system 2 years ago - before that their system was 10 years old and she could have told the family if he had rented any videos during that day. Remember he was on vacation. His father is dead so he can't tell you what they talked about. He placed a call that same day to an aunt in Mitchell - she is also dead so she can't tell us about their conversation or his frame of mind. His mother and father went to see him that day about 3:00 - he was distraught about his Dad's cancer but showed no other unusual behavior. |
