The article left me trying to figure out how the witness could be on the passenger side of the SUV, the same distance from the SUV as his opinion of the construction workers location, yet see the entire event from very beginning to end?  He also says he was close enough to hear the conversation at the SUV.  These statements contradict each other. 
I think I know who this “witness” is…..
CLAYTON • A stream of eyewitnesses has been testifying in secret before a grand jury considering whether to indict police officer Darren Wilson in the fatal shooting of Michael Brown near the Canfield Green apartments in Ferguson.
One Canfield resident — who said he saw the killing of Brown from start to finish and talked to the grand jury recently — has given the Post-Dispatch an account with some key differences from previous public statements from other witnesses.
Among the recollections of the witness, who agreed to an interview on the condition that his name not be used, were:
•After an initial scuffle in the car, the officer did not fire until Brown turned back toward him.
•Brown put his arms out to his sides but never raised his hands high.
•Brown staggered toward Wilson despite commands to stop.
•The two were about 20 to 25 feet apart when the last shots were fired.
•He would not detail what he told the grand jury but said the members seemed fair and asked a lot of questions.

This is what happens when you politicize a public health issue. Bureaucrats have to keep the concentric circles of protectionism around the President fully supported. Contradictions then become glaringly obvious.
CBS Reports Ms. Vinson was cleared to fly with a fever by the CDC.    Today the CDC says Ms. Vinson should never have flown.
You know…. well,… protocols and such.   Yeah…. watch:

The most unfortunate outcome so far is that Ebola has become politicized.  Val Jar and McDonough are applying the political prism to every statement, policy, instruction, speech and action.  Hence all the inherent contradictions… 
EXAMPLE:

Vinson called CDC several times before flying, informed staff she had fever. It allowed her to fly, reports @DrLapook on @CBSEveningNews

WASHINGTON – White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest today reaffirmed that the government doesn’t think a travel ban between the U.S. and countries affected with Ebola is a good idea. Fox News’ Ed Henry asked, “Why is it still appropriate for the U.S. to allow people to fly to America from the hot zone?”

Earnest said, “Quite simply, Ed, because there are –– there’s a multi-layered screening protocol that’s in place to ensure that individuals that may have symptoms consistent with Ebola are not even able to board planes in West Africa.”
He said plenty of people haven’t been allowed on planes for that very reason, and there’s additional screening for any American who flew to that part of the world and wants to reenter the country. (more…)

President Obama Has Cancelled Tonight’s Fundraiser !!

CDC Thomas Frieden says:

“We have stopped every Ebola outbreak, until this one!

The second Ebola treatment nurse, diagnosed with Ebola herself, is a 29-year-old named Amber Vinson.
Riddle me this: The second nurse who has Ebola in Texas flew on a plane two days before apparently developing symptoms. The CDC is alarmed by the commercial travel method. The CDC says Ebola exposures should have “controlled travel” only, and wants 132 passengers who were on the plane with the nurse to call them ASAP. Why?

[Frontier Airlines] “At approximately 1:00 a.m. MT on October 15, Frontier was notified by the CDC that a customer traveling on Frontier Airlines flight 1143 Cleveland to Dallas/Fort Worth on Oct. 13 has since tested positive for the Ebola virus.

The flight landed in Dallas/Fort Worth at 8:16 p.m. local and remained overnight at the airport having completed its flying for the day at which point the aircraft received a thorough cleaning per our normal procedures which is consistent with CDC guidelines prior to returning to service the next day. It was also cleaned again in Cleveland last night. Previously the customer had traveled from Dallas Fort Worth to Cleveland on Frontier flight 1142 on October 10.  (link)

The CDC opposes a travel ban to/from West Africa. To support their position the CDC says if a person has no symptoms there is no reason to worry. They say the Dallas nurse, Amber Vinson, had no symptoms – yet her travel is alarming.  A contradiction, no? (more…)

…”It is Now Officially An Outbreak”…

THIS IS BREAKING NEWS – Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital is confirming another healthcare worker has now been diagnosed with Ebola as a result of their exposure to Patient Zero.
Two patients sickened as a result of one source of origination is the technical threshold for the term “outbreak“.
This second confirmed healthcare worker is being discussed as another nurse who was caring for the Liberian patient Thomas Duncan, patient zero.  The second worker reported a temperature on Tuesday, was tested, and the test result came back as positive for the deadly virus – The worker was immediately isolated.
This comes as  THE LARGEST US nurses’ union alleges that nurses at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, were not given proper protection or guidance in treating Ebola patient Thomas Duncan, while the condition of infected nurse Nina Pham, is upgraded to good.  (link)

Yeah, well, we haven’t forgotten this – and apparently the Virginia police have not yet found Hannah Graham.

Honestly, I’ll admit I had to put the research away for a while because it was so disturbing. Yet, every day I’d stare at the white board and kept coming back to the dates. The dates -and- the creepy profile.
What is it about these dates? What it is about this geography? A geography of familiarity because I’ve spent quite a bit of time up and down the Appalachian trail much, much earlier in life. Perhaps that’s what’s so unnerving.
Without going into detail about all the scratched out post-it notes. I think there’s a possibility worth pursuing.

“Summer Camps” in Virginia.

Specifically camps that have summer activities, sleepover camps, for kids. A camp that Jesse Matthew might have familiarity with, or might even have attended. [And or campgrounds that are only seasonally active during the summer.]
Unattended, “off season” summer camps might make a good place for egress and access within distance to the geography. (more…)
