Well Karenza, it seemed everyone was well aware that Jodi was habitually late. You know someone with a responsible job anchoring a morning news show at her age, someone with a drive to keep a diary to motivate herself and a 5 year plan for success. A clueless boss unaware one of his key employees was having the police escorting her back and forth to work for fear of her life. Unaware she was habitually late. A police department claiming not being aware she was having problems yet they were doing the escorting.

Pick one, there are so many conflicting statements from co-workers and police it makes your head spin.

It wasn't 3:45. Kuns called Jodi at 10 after 4. They estimate abduction time to be between 4:30 and 5:00 AM. Just clearing that up for you.

First, Karenza, you are correct. I have read and heard many conflicting articles/sources as to the time Amy first called Jodi. Navyboi, Karenza, and Vinny, this is a good thread.

I want to say that I 100% wish to echo and endorse Vinny's expression of frustration with all this conflicting information. Vinny, I have always felt strongly about everything you mentioned, and I feel like if we could get some clarity about what was going on at the station, in terms of who knew what, we'd cover some ground.

I might have mentioned in previous posts, I have worked as a small market anchor. I did early evening news, and I know that if I had been late just once, that any number of people would have ratted me to the boss, and I would have been fired. I just will never believe that Jodi was so careless about her job. Again, I'm not accusing anyone of lying (I actually don't know what I'm doing-- maybe thinking outloud), but as someone who has anchored and done the same job, I know that I would have been out the door and others would have lined up to take my spot if I made a habit of being late. And I'm sure this is most often the case in most small and large market television stations.

Now, forgive me, but this point needs to be made. . . if your friends are so close to you, they cover for your habitual lateness and enable you to project this professional essense otherwise, wouldn't you think one such friend who loved you so much would have called the police and known something was terribly wrong when you didn't show up to work in time to hit the air? This really bothers me, folks. Why didn't someone at KIMT call the police sooner, particularly if they loved Jodi enough to cover for her, if they valued her so much, and were so close, they would have known she was being stalked and would have been scared when she didn't get there by 5:30.

I'm not trying to put words in Vinny's mouth, but it all goes back to his point about conflicting accounts. . . as we say in the south, "something ain't right."
