You are right about that Jane. It really doesn't make much sense or fit in with his usual mode of operation. I was just a little surprised when I heard reference to hearing impairments, once again, in discussions about her case. I can't help but find that odd. However, you are most likely right about it being highly unlikely.

from boards.insessiontrials.com:

Hi guys, sorry for the blocks. All I get from overseas are attackers day and night so I just block most overseas IP addresses. Same for free email addresses, as mentioned many do.

First, thanks for taking a look at the suspect blowup pictures. We can discuss them here, although I welcome registrations of course. Email me at admin (or anything will do) @ justiceforchandra.com or if you can see the blowups I place my personal email address ralph@ee.net on the page. Give me an IP address or email address that's blocked and I'll unblock it except for stuff like gmail or hotmail. The attacks are just too numerous from those.

Also, I've written a great deal on this but lost somewhere in all of it I describe blowing up the pictures and analyzing them. I did it two years ago with a Windows Me laptop with a dialup connection and a free or low priced copy of Paint Shop Pro. It's not the computer, it's the effort you put into it. Believe me, not many are going to go through the weeks of effort it took me so of course police, experts, etc. never looked and found this stuff.

In fact, the one expert the Orlando police turned to (paid, I assume) to look at the suspect's head and determine what they could responded "could be male, could be female. Could be a hat, could be hair. I don't know." That's what I started out doing, trying to figure that out, and weeks into it was able to draw some conclusions. Paid experts aren't going to put in that kind of effort for what the police can pay them to take a look.

Also. PS, Guandique's trial is coming up in a few months. I wrote Murder on a Horse Trail: The Disappearance of Chandra Levy back in 2003-2004 and made it available to the public to read on my site. Hopefully you all will read that before the trial comes up for a full analysis of the events surrounding her death.

I will be glad to discuss that in an appropriate thread as well if any comments.

regards,

Hi everybody!
I just wanted to let you all know that I have moved the "auto-erotic asphyxia" posts to the private discussion board. I feel that is a more appropriate place for this topic.

Uniforms and armament

The uniform worn by DoD Police officers are identical to that of civil police, apart from insignia. All officers are trained to use firearms and are armed at all times while on duty. DoD Federal Police Officers are armed with M-16 assault rifles, H&K MP5, and various 9mm or .40 cal pistols. They are also equipped with tasers, shotguns, ASP batons, OC Spray, shields and other riot gear.

Most DoD Police are still using the M-9 Beretta pistol, (The M-9 is the Government version of the 92F). In the early 1990's, the standard sidearm was the Colt .45 Combat Commander. This was last used by the now defunct Mare Island DoD Police force. Some DoD Police Departments had used the Sig 228 compact but was traded in for the M-9's due to lack of an external safety lever.

Hi everybody!
I guess we are all waiting to hear something from the agency that arrested Hattaway. If it doesn't turn out that he was the perpetrator of the crime, it would obviously be wise to take a closer look at anyone who might be a suspect, based on the court documents that Jennifer was going to file on behalf of Westgate Resorts (as laskipper has suggested).
It is very odd that the perpetrator would strike on a Tuesday, instead of acting on a Monday and that somehow he/she/they would have waited until Jennifer was back in her apartment on Monday eve--Tuesday morning, instead of attacking her on a Sunday eve--Monday morning. It appears as if someone(s) had inside knowledge that she wouldn't be home on Sunday-eve--Monday-morning.

I finally got things rearranged/set up to where I could hook up my HP laptop to a large screen. I mention the HP laptop because with the IBM Thinkpad I'm posting this on I black and white pictures are too dark to see for some reason. (Color seems to be ok).

Anyway, whenever I look at the Blowup of Jennifer Kesse person of interest / suspect pictures on a much different setup I try to look at them with a fresh perspective, as in what might this show me that I haven't seen before.

With the very large screen I noticed an unmistakable pattern to the back of the biking helmet. The pattern is so precise that I have no doubt a particular model or style of helmet should be identifiable.

I have isolated the helmet from suspect stills 1 and 2:




The first, from still 2, shows the precise pattern of the back of the helmet, at least clearly discernable on a large monitor at 1024x768. The top of the helmet descends smoothly until there is a dip to a lower level, then extends on back and then slightly back in and out again, causing a double hump in back. From the double hump it descends downward and inward in a slight stairstep pattern, causing a zigzag effect in a profile view.

That particular blowup is darkened to the degree that the helmet and hair cannot be discerned from each other. The second picture above, from still 1, shows the profile of the helmet over the hair.

I took a quick look at hundreds of biking helmet pictures with Google Images and all the ones that came close were mountain bike helmets. I posted a few below, including one with the dip and one without but with a similar double hump:





I will add these crops to the Blowup thread. I feel that the helmet and holster are extremely distinguishable by their shapes and can only guess at the reasons for the resistance in identifying the equipment and uniform of this suspect dressed as a law enforcement officer.

Maybe embarrassment? I don't know.

Here is the link to the "Bell" bike helmets website. In your opinion, which of the helmets does it resemble the most?
Do you think it resembles on the U.S. "youth" helmets or one of the European "fusion" helmets?
http://www.bellbikehelmets.com/

Hi Rainbow, it resembles none of those, including the two mountain bike helmets shown. The mountain bike helmetsI have displayed above are the only ones I've seen that's close. I'm still looking at images on Google but had to break away to take care of other things.

When you look at the helmets in the link you posted, you will see that none have the drop down in the back from the top, then out to a double hump.

The profile is amazingly clear in still 2. With that drop down, double hump, and zig zagging pattern on the back down from there, I would not be surprised if it could be identified as a specific make and model bike helmet.

We also have to look at models that were around 3 years ago.

I was working on my ThinkPad laptop computer this weekend and ran across some keyboard adjustable brightness settings I didn't know about. I tried fiddling with that but it was already maxed out on brightness, the laptop display probably being too bright as I mentioned before on viewing black and white pictures with the ThinkPad.

But that got me to looking at the brightness settings on my monitor and brightness was only 50%. So the darkness I wrote about in viewing with the ThinkPad was from bad monitor settings.

I adjusted brightness up and now I can see the pictures as well as with other computers. So I haven't run across a setup where the pictures can't be seen well. I'm going to amend the blowup page now that I know what the problem was.

The big problem with enlarging these images is all the imperfections are enlarged as well.

Obviously you're referring in some part to my blowups of the suspect. The difference between perfection and imperfection, between grainy and clear, and between seeing something and seeing shadows is the solidness and regularness of the shapes.

Every shape that I pointed out resembles law enforcement gear and insignia in solid, perfectly regular shapes. Just as importantly, there are not two things in the blownup images: shadowy imperfections that resemble anything, nor similar solid shapes that resemble anything not law enforcement gear or insignia.

I welcome anyone to point out any imperfection that resembles a solid regularly shaped object that I haven't pointed out.

I won't go through the litany of all the objects I found, the details involved, or even the link to the images, I have posted them all here as I found them.

Many people have looked at those images, and not one person has ever pointed out a flaw in the blownup images.

Please be as specific as to the location and what the shape is as I was.

regards,

I have seen many 'enhancements' of the POI photos done by several people and most of them have different interpretations with regard to the POI and who he or she might be.
Whilst I admire the efforts of those who have tried to unmask the POI I cannot see what is claimed to be insignia, weapons, or anything else.
I have to declare I have tendency to dismiss these enhancements since I was conned by the 'Face on Mars' photographs.
Light, shadows and angles play horrid tricks in pictures.


I haven't seen any other enlargements posted here or elsewhere. Of course I may not be following this as close as you. And you say these enlargements are misleading, heh? Would be interesting to see just which of these Jennifer Kesse suspect enlargements you're referring to.

The bottom line, you dismiss what you haven't looked at based on you can't believe it's possible. Yet intelligence agencies blow up images every day. People enlarge images every day. Guess what? What do you think binoculars and telescopes are? They enlarge images. You can see things you can't see with the naked eye. Why is that so difficult to accept?

I would suggest that had you taken a look at the images, you would in fact see that all the items I have pointed out are solid and perfectly shaped, not shadows, angles, and such as you think. Not only are they solid, perfectly shaped objects, but they are on the suspect at appropriate places for the gear it is the shape of.

No, the real problem is that an armed security guard parking Jennifer's car just doesn't match with the illegal construction worker theory, and it's pretty much as simple as that.

Believe me, I sure wasn't looking for anything no one had noticed before. All I was trying to do was figure out if the headpiece was hair or a hat. But however discomforting it is to find out it's not a Latino gang banger with a bandana on his head as the police believed and fits in with the illegal construction worker, the surveillance camera did its work and captured details about the suspect.

They are just details that are too inconvenient to believe.

I was reading slashdot, a thread about an amateur astronomer creating some amazing pictures:

http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=10/01/23/001227

when I saw this post. This post describes so exactly what I have done here:


Hubble? I don't think so (Score:5, Interesting)

They may resemble some of the aesthetics of Hubble, but not the resolution. Thus, the comparison is potentially misleading. The photos in the gallery are of relatively near or bright objects. It's more about careful timing, planning, and processing that brings out details of such objects. Major observatories often don't have the budget or motivation to spend the time to carefully process images of common astronomical objects.

One amateur reprocessed images from Soviet Venus landers and brought out some amazing detail, finding landscape features that weren't spotted before. It's simply the case that sometimes amateurs are simply motivated to spend the necessary time and attention to detail more so than "professionals", who normally have full in-boxes. Amateurs can decide to be as anal as they want. Call it open-source astronomy.

The bold was in the original post. Motivated to spend the necessary time. This stuff isn't easy. I spent weeks and weeks and weeks of late nights a couple of years reprocessing and analyzing these images, time that law enforcement doesn't have.

And like the post above, I found amazing details no one had noticed before. Because I was motivated to spend the necessary time and attention to detail.

Her car was found at the HOTG, at Americana and Texas Avenues.

Does anyone else find it curious that there is a bus that runs from the Universal Studios Employee Center that stops at that same intersection? More interestingly, This same bus directly passes her condo.

Could it be possible that the perp was someone ending his shift instead of starting?

Yes, I considered that and wrote about it elsewhere, for example
http://www.justiceforchandra.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=30602&highlight=bus+universal#30602

There are some locations in that area that interested me concerning my theory, including Universal. Was there something in particular about Universal Studios that you mention it, or just that there's a lot of people?

Interesting thought.

Shortly after the disappearance of Jennifer K, my son was pulled over and questioned as a person of interest in her disappearance. Because of the grainy photo, a woman who saw my son leaving work decided that he looked like this person and pointed him out to the police. My son was pulled over and questioned by the police, and luckily for us he was let go. Please note that my son is over 6' tall, thin, white. He was wearing a black ball cap and a white t-shirt due to his job as a kitchen manager. In other words, anyone could be a POI.

When the Orlando police tested the surveillance camera, they knew that their dark uniforms showed up light in the image. It is unacceptable that they did not determine and publicize the color or range of colors of clothing that would render as was captured of the POI.

Instead they were quoted as saying don't worry about the clothes. Completely unacceptable.

That leads to people thinking that what they are looking at is what they would see, white shirt, etc., leading to accusations against kitchen workers. Whether white and dark clothes render to the same light color I have no way of knowing, but clearly they are not white because they look white. The dark blue police uniforms rendered the same way. (and obviously is a factor in my analysis).

Concerning the hat, this is what I most recently posted about it.

I finally got things rearranged/set up to where I could hook up my laptop to a large screen (for big screen tv). Whenever I look at my Blowup of Jennifer Kesse person of interest / suspect pictures on a much different setup I try to look at them with a fresh perspective, as in what might this show me that I haven't seen before.

P.S. When I wrote this I was thinking of law enforcement as to resistance in publically dealing with this information and investigating it. Whether anyone else is or isn't in agreement with me is not a matter of resistance but your opinion. Police don't have that luxury. I have presented evidence and it should be acknowledged and investigated or refuted. They would do so if I called in that I had a vision she was in a warehouse. This is just much harder to deal with.
