2. There’s been a lot of discussion about the lack of safety at Jennifer’s apartment complex. At the time of her disappearance, the complex was being worked on, and numerous workers were around throughout the day. There’s also this:
When my son-in-law moved into the Mosaic apartment complex before they went to condominiums, he asked me to come over to watch the…
