IronTiger Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Surely most of you know about the Jonathan Foster case: a 44-year-old woman was accused of kidnapping a 12-year-old boy on Christmas Eve, they found a burned body in a ditch, identified it as him, and got a suspect who has had a criminal record.That's the short version anyway.What do you think?Do you think that Ms. Nelson is guilty and should get the punishment she deserves?

kylejack Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 They said they have a lot of physical evidence from her apartment, where they think the body was burned. She admits to dumping the body since she was caught on camera, but says she didn't kill him. She says she was given a plastic bin by the dad to dispose of which she never opened and just dumped, which makes no sense for numerous reasons (1. the mother got a strange phone call from Mona and an alive Jonathan 2. It was not a plastic bin dumped, it was just a burned body).Seems to me like she's full of crap and she did the whole thing...but WHY did she do it? That part is very unclear to me. Maybe a botched kidnap for ransom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTiger Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Apparently the parents also changed their story, so they may be hiding something.Either way, there's still a lot of unanswered questions by Ms. Nelson. If she's as innocent as she says she is, then WHERE'S THE PLASTIC BIN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 A birthday wish nearly two months ago - that he return to his mother - placed Jonathan into an orbit that included shady characters in an impoverished pocket of Garden Oaks in northwest Houston. There, the forces of his tiny transient life appeared to doom him.http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/7362771.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little frau Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 That Chronicle piece is just plain sad. There is a lot yet to come out on this story. Sounds like his step dad might be someone to look at also. But why kill him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
