Im extremely bothered by a couple things in the 48 hours episode. First, though, i want to say that im amazed someone FINALLY brought up the fact that her red miata was still in the namw of John Lessard. It never mentioned that in the book and botheres me that her family or anyone else k ew how she could afford the car. Back in 2012 i posted on this site that the car was given to her by John Lessard and they dated. I worked at Fox River back then and everyone knew he gave her that car and they were seeing each other. That brings me to why did he tell 48 hours that he only met Jodi once when he handed over the keys to the car?! I dont think Lessard had anything to do with her disappearance but im baffled at why he would deny knowing her. Which brings me to another thing that struck me. Hohn Vancises lady friend stated John V told her that the car was a bday gift feom a boyfriend but she was going to give it back. This sounds totally truw to me. But why would her friend Ani say she didnt believe that at all. Didnt any of her friends wonder how she could afford that car? My theory is that it WAS a gift. That she was i deed seeing Lessard. He was very rich and very handsome. Jodi made hardly any money. She most likely didnt want her friends or family to know she would accept such an expensive gift from a man. Maybe she thought they would frown on that. I think John V was jealous John L because they were the same age yet jodi thought of JV as a father but really luke JL as much more. He prob questioned Jodi about the car and she said she was going to give it back to JL to appease JV. Maybe she even tild him she wasnt seeing him anymore. And maybe just maybe JL was at her apartment that night and JV was spying in her and after jodi got woke up for work, JL left first and then when jodi came out, JV confronted her. Couldnit be that she was supposed to come over to watch that video with him the night before but instead had a male friend over after the golf outing and stood vancise up so he sat outside her apartment waiting to see WHO she stood him up for? I think investigators have not followed up and through with certain things and just taken peoples words at face value. Why wouldnt they check with more people about the relationship between lessard and jodi. They just assume her best frienda or family would have known. Why not ask peoplenin the town and community where Lessard lives? There ARE people who saw Lessard and Jodi togwther. This was taljed about WAY before she ever disappeared. Again, i dont think lessard had anything to do with her disappearing. But i totally believe he  and his res miata has so much to do with why. As for him kying about only meeting her once. I can only soeculate that he lied because he is a very orivate person. This town he luves in and owns a business is VERY small. 30 miles from Mason city, osage has a pipulation of around 4000. Everyone knows everyone. Im sure he did not want his name involved in such a high profile case. And he managed to have his name not mentioned once for 23 years until tonight in 48 hours! Ive always wondered how on earth he managed that! And even though 48 hours finally vrought it up, they still didnt get it quite right. But i guess its a start. Still, i cant help to feel frustration.
