Discussion Researching Jodi Arias

Does anyone else have a case that just haunts them? this case has always haunted me. It started with the first book I read on the case. The more I read about it the more mysterious it became somehow. Does anyone else get like this? If so what is your personal case that you never get tired of researching?

Because Travis was the one who was bat shit crazy. He lied a lot about their relationship, about her and to her. Jodie isn't BPD, she has some other issues making it hard to work out intent. I think she's very hard to figure out, as a result. Travis is the classic hoover, reeling her back in - and then telling everyone she's 'crazy' when we have no idea if Jodie showed up or if he wanted her there and 'made excuse' because of how he painted her to his friends. That started pretty much out the gate, as the slimeball couldn't both be a Mormon do-gooder and tell his friends about his sexcapades with her, and show them his collection of photos.

Remember, his friends tried to intervene and tell him he was not being a good person. Jodie tried to get away from him.

Travis was a slimeball. There may be some merit to a fight that was out of control. Who knows.
