I wouldn't say it's a BDSM show considering his faith and thinking a tattoo is a sin. It is things of religious significance, and I'm guessing it's not JUST torture devices but I'm sure that's included, hence the strappado. It must be some kind of showcase but is it something we need to search for or will more clues be given as to how to stop him?

Ok, I have been going through all the pages again and looking for details. I've noticed a couple things and had some thoughts that may or may not be related. Pardon if this is rambling, I'm not sure how to put all these things together yet:

* I think the numbers 4 and 5 might play into something. In some of the journals the numbers 4 or 5 appear to be typeset as opposed to hand written.
journals5.php: numbers 4 and 5 are typeset.
oldjournals5.php: number 4 is typeset.
oldjournals6.php: number 4 is typeset.
oldjournals11.php: number 4 is typeset.
Also on journals6.php it says "How Many" which might be important. There are 4 photos and 5 girls.
Edit: I am doubting this now. I think that it's just a quirk of the font used that the 4 and the 5 happen to look very different from the rest of the letters/numbers.

* journals4.php and journals5.php are labelled with what appear to be page numbers (1 and 2 respectively) in the bottom right corner. None of the other journal pages or old journal pages are numbered like this.

* He seems to always take the girls on September 4th around 9:40 which is the anniversary of when he first performed the excorcism ritual on Moira. However, if the Missing poster is of the most recent girl which is still alive he could have taken her as early as September 1st (which is when she was last seen.)

* Moira was born in 1978 (according to the plaque below her body on jcmh.php), so she would have been about 21-22 when she was killed. She was either married to or knew Jerry for 5 years previous to this (in oldjournal.php he says he yelled at her for the first time in 5 years.) So they may have met in 1994/1995 when she was 16-17. How old is Jerry?

* As for the number of deaths there have been 11 if you include Moira and Daisy, with one girl who is currently believed to be alive (who would be #12.) That is assuming that the two girls in 2001 were the first victims after Moira and Daisy, and that there has been only one victim a year after that.

* He met Moira in Lincoln Park, NJ (he left the body where he met her and that is where it was found.) Possibly in a park in Lincoln Park? He probably either lived, worked, or went to school close to there (Kuroi mentioned going to different schools in one of her conversations, but also seemed to indicate that the was working at the time?)

* His work and home are a good question for finding him and the girl. When he lived with Moira he had a 1 hour commute home. After her body was discovered in Lincoln Park he moved "closer to work". Wherever he lived/worked in 2001 took him through Hawthorne, NJ on his commute, as that's where he met his first two victims after Moira. (I was thinking maybe he worked at the Salem Witch Museum in Salem, MA but that is over 3 hours away so it isn't likely.)

* There is some intentional or unintentional errors with the dates of the first several oldjournal entries. They are all from August to November of 2000, but occur before Moira's body was found. The date her body was found is almost certainly May 4th, 2000 so I am guessing that those earlier journal entries should be 1999?

* jaeger138: You had asked why Tommy was only sentenced recently, but what made you think it was recent? I don't think the Radio video's announcement said a date (only a time, 2:40) and I didn't see anything elsewhere about when he was sentenced. It could be an old recording? Or it could be that it just took a long time for the trial (I think some trials can take years to be finished.)

I thought about Salem too at first, but you are right, it's too far way...I looked to see where you would have to live to have a drive of an hour away from Lincoln Park, since she said they met while he was working, and came up with this map...

Using the town of Norton, NJ, this is an hour away from Lincoln Park. I chose that direction because he makes mention of a Lake house and having to buy rock salt, so that would point to it not being towards NY city, although what really matters is the distance, of course some routes would be closer/farther depending on the roads. I also included the other places in the newspaper clippings for reference. Maybe there is come clue if we looks where the events took place.

For whatever reason i think that when he is saying Lake is referring to Lake Hopatcong.. but i dont know why i get that impression to be honest.

at the moment i am breaking down EVERY page to try and understand what we are missing. I will post it here when i am done.

I don't think he actually moved to the lake house, though. In oldjournal13.php he talks about the 6 feet of snow and needing the rock salt. But then he says he drove up to the lake house as soon as the roads were safe. So I would say he stayed in his house through the winter, and had left Moira's body up at the lake house all winter long.

So he could still live in a city, and travel to the lake house in the winter...And he keeps his...guests there while he tries to "save" them.

That sounds likely. He does say in journals7.php "I see them all here, I see them all staring at me." Possibly the girls? He's keeping the bodies, maybe preserved in a similar way to Moira's. He just learned his lesson with Moira not to "display" them.

I wonder if we're still missing something from the listen.wav file though. Could there be something hidden in the static? I'm pretty new to this so I'm not really familiar with all the ways that things can be hidden, like stegs and stuff.

Just a thought: Could it be that Jerry is a Professor of Art or something related, thus, he deals with antiques and such artifacts?

-That might explain why the two girls from 2001 almost readily agreed to come with him to his house. Did Black mention whether he knew the two girls? If he is indeed a Professor, the two girls could have known him.
-Moira was teenager when they met, thus, she's probably still attending school, might even be in his class.

I'm trying to google Universities around/near Lincoln Park or Hawthorne, NJ at the moment. Sorry I'm not familiar with Roads and Places of USA. =)

About Listen.wav: Wasn't Kuroi saying something like, "Someone...please... understand...Tell him..."? My headset is quite defective, hard to listen.

Could be a professor, though I'm not sure about art. It seems like his collection is most likely related to torture/inquisition devices, but maybe that's only part of it.

It's possible, but there's nothing in his journal to lead us to that. He doesn't make any mention of recognizing them, and they are hesitant to go with him at first until he mentions the booze, so they probably don't know him either.

It's definitely possible that he is slightly to much older than Moira was when they met. If he was a professor of anything then she wouldn't have been his student as she would still be in high school rather than college (I think, my date-math could be off.)

That sounds about right. "Someone please understand tell him (them?) he's not the right man."
This most likely refers to the fact that Tommy Jones was sentenced for her murder, but Jerry Black is the one who is actually responsible.

i would like to point out something you guys keep overlooking
i will number the responses here.. michael was asking her questions in her mid sentance, so she delays on the conversation. look carfully ill number them.
1]we met in a park...
9:54pmMichael

2referenceing 1
Lincoln Park?
9:54pmKuroi

1]we went to differnt shools...
9:54pmMichael

3]Was he working?
9:54pmKuroi

2 referenceing 1}yes...
she was cut off in mid sentance. from the way this conversation is going. she is not answering to him working in the park but that lincoln park was where they met.
9:55pmMichael

4]
A grounds keeper?
9:55pmKuroi

4]that he is not...

continue to read... (here it looks like she's trying to tell a story but micheal keeps cutting her off)
9:55pmMichael


what drew me to this conclusion

this part of the conversation

I see the new entries are up...have not been able to read them yet...
9:56pmKuroi

read..then ask...
9:57pmMichael

Does he still work in the park...I see he saw the 2 girls on the way from work
10:00pmKuroi (here micheal asks if he still works in the park)

never... (her answer was never she was trying to tell him he never worked in the park they just met there. now i understand why she says we are not listening)
10:02pmMichael





you guys see her online and jump on her like a dog, you ask her so many questions at once its no wonder we are getting no where. i am just saying. if we are dealing with a spirit who is wasting energy trying to communicate with us, why cant we be more sympathic?

Small problem. Facebook deletes messages... i normally keep mine small but this one was different. I will highlight for you.

Jerry is a curator/collector of things related to "The carrying on of Gods mission"
Moira met Jerry when they were young and Jerry was very very hansome.
Moira felt blessed that she was chosen by him.
They got married at the age of 16 i believe and lived happy at first.
Moira was to be a house wife and could not work or finish her education.
Moira saw less and less of Jerry and Jerry became cold refusing to lay with ehr saying "lust" is a sin.
She met Tommy in a food market and he was a free spirit.
They fell for each other, slept with each other, and then came the morning sicknesss.
She got the sonogram of Daisy
She didnt know how to possibly tell Jerry.. but she was going to leave them
WE must find a place where we can hold this collection of wome that he keeps.

So are you saying she said that WE, as in us unfictologists need to find a place to display the bodies? Is that a clue or just a request?

OK, I usually try and wait a little after Kuroi's finished typing to reply but I can see it's a bit confusing for everyone when these convos are posted, i'll do my best to play nice.

Jerry is still young so it's hard to see him being a professor. Kuroi outright told me he gets paid to travel around and display his collection. I think we should ask what else is in the collection as we only really know of the strappado if I haven't missed anything. Could help us learn more about him.

Lou, if you don't exit the conversation before you log out of FB it should save the convo, might make it easier for you.
