Five days after waitress Jennifer Lee Hampton vanished from a Days Inn in Tennessee, there is still no sign of the 21-year-old from Alabama.

Hampton, of Florence, disappeared Friday from the West Knoxville hotel, where she was reportedly staying with several of her coworkers from Mama Blues Buffet, UPI reported.

A search is under way.

The staff was in town to help with the opening of a new restaurant, according to a spokesman from the Knoxville Police Department.

The odds are that eventually, one innocent person passing through such a location might end up running into someone else passing through who has anything but innocent drives or motivations.

Normally I might withhold such speculation, but police have already said that they believe Jennifer Lee Hampton was the victim of foul play. If so, they may have a tall order ahead of them, if all of Hampton's co-workers check out. They will have to trawl through receipts and security tapes from the hotel, the nearby truck stop and any other restaurant or customer-oriented business in the area.

If you were in the area on Friday night or on Saturday and think you have any information that might help, call the Knoxville Police Department at 865-215-7014.

yeah, this is bad. It will a relatively local to Knoxville pervert who was trolling around looking for a victim at hotels. As such, he will have been seen around on the peripherals, but no one knows who to look for.

I hope they have security tapes at the Days Inn, but rooms facing outside on balconies may not be covered. Maybe the parking lot is included with enough detail to get license plates of cars coming and going. It really is needed these days in my opinion.

I wish I could be optimistic about Jennifer's survival, but this is worse case. If the bastard ends up being a sex pervert who was on probation, which given these creeps is almost assuredly the case, the tipping point for keeping them under 24 hour surveillance is way past due.

Still no sign of Jennifer. I hope they find her soon. It is a shame we have another missing woman.

Reward:
"A $5,000 reward is being offered by Hampton's employer for any information leading to her whereabouts, DeBusk said."

Police: Motel Room of Missing Alabama Waitress Indicates Foul Play
Thursday, September 25, 2008
Associated Press

SNIP
WATERLOO, Ala. — Police in Tennessee say the motel room of a missing waitress and former homecoming queen from Alabama indicates that foul play may have been involved in her disappearance.

Evidence from the room indicated foul play, he said. He declined to discuss what was found but said it was critical to the case.

Police already have obtained some results from forensics tests, he said, but he would not elaborate. And they're trying to piece together a timeline of what Hampton was doing in the days leading up to her disappearance.

We will have to wait till they ID the body. LE still feels there was foul play involved in this missing case. If this is Jennifer, may she rest in peace. LE has notified the family.

Days Inn workers murdered Jennifer, and they were illegal immigrants to boot. Great. Talk about a massive lawsuit. Jennifer's family should sue the hotel for so much people will be afraid to ever let this happen again.

The hotel knows they're employing illegals, knows they didn't do background checks on these creeps, knows they're jeapordizing the safety of their guests.

Part of these perverts thinking they can rape and murder and throw away women is that they're running around with no one knowing who they are. The have no accountability, to anyone.

They should have had accountability, at the border, at the employers, back wherever they came from. But no, they had to bring grief with them to an innocent woman and her loved ones.

When will we ever have accountability for so many murdering perverts?

Hotel Worker Charged With Murder of Waitress
Arrest Brings Little Consolation for Family of Slain Alabama Woman
By SARAH NETTER
Oct. 1, 2008

A 19-year-old hotel employee who police believe is in the country illegally has been charged with the murder of Jennifer Hampton, the 21-year-old waitress whose body was found over the weekend.

A man who gave police the name of Valentino Miranda is being held in Knoxville, Tenn., on one count of first-degree murder. Both he and a man who identified himself as Rogelio Melchor, 38, also an employee at the Days Inn where Hampton was staying on a business trip, have been held since Saturday on unrelated fraud charges.

(snip)

Hampton, a pretty homecoming queen from Florence, Ala., was found Saturday in Melton Hill Lake about 5 miles from the Days Inn. DeBusk said the medical examiner's preliminary report stated that she had been strangled.

(snip)

Part of a close-knit family that spoke often, Hampton, called "Jenny" by friends and family, had recently been accepted into a program to become a registered nurse.

Funeral services will be held Thursday at the Baptist church the family attended.
