Travis Forbes Last Seen with Missing Teen

A reader on FB pointed me to this video of Travis Forbes (thanks, DN).  He was last seen with Kenia Monge, 19, after he claims that he picked her up on the side of the road at 2:30 a.m. because she was crying and drunk.  His story is absolutely fishy when you listen to him tell it. It makes no sense whatsoever. If he was a good samaritan who wanted to help a young, vulnerable girl, he wouldn’t drop her off to smoke with some dude and then just leave.  That makes no sense. It’s a complete contradiction.

Travis gives us some incredible hot spots that are almost hard to watch, because what they reveal, is painful.

When we first hear Travis, we can’t see him, but we hear him say with a snicker, “I just want this girl to be found.”  He continues, “I want her to be found because I hope she is okay …safe.”

Travis says as he notably shrugs his shoulders, “When I was dropping Eddie off is when we, ah, met the missing girl…er…um… what’s her name..Kenia, yeah.”  Notice the change in the direction of his statement.  He changes course notably.  Was he going to say something he shouldn’t?

He continues, “There was this guy, he was smoking, she asked him for his cigarettes. They sat down, smoked his cigarettes, and, um…all of the sudden I was no longer important. I…I mean I was just one stranger, and then off with another stranger.”  When he talks, notice all the shoulder shrugging?  Worse, he is fighting hard to keep a smile off his face.  Why on earth would he feel like smiling?  Sadly, this is not the worst of his clues.

Do you notice how his story lacks details, like we were driving and she said she wanted to stop for cigarettes, but she didn’t have money, or something to that effect. All of his details are missing!

Watch when the reporter says, “Did you kidnap her?”  He says no.  The reporter continues, “Did you sexually assault her?”  He says, “I did not.” 

When the reporter says did you murder her, Travis gives off some indicative body language.  He says, “I did not” without moving his eyes off of her.  His eyes are locked (hot spot).  But worse, his head shake of “no” blends into a mix of a shake and nod, which is highly suggestive of conflict from the subconscious mind to the conscious mind.   And this battle between the minds continues on, if you watch. He repeats the word, “No” then shakes his head no, but then all of the sudden it changes to a head nod (indicative of a yes) (I personally think he is thinking here and that is what we see — his thoughts), and then he goes back to a no as he thinks that, too, to cover himself. This shows the conflict with him, which in my opinion, doesn’t support honesty.  It’s actually very revealing.

Travis continues, “No, and you know, having that on you, having that energy on you….is….is very stressful.”

The news story cuts again to Travis, “If I had known she was going to go missing, I wouldn’t have left.  I’ve…..Man……..  I’m sorry that I’ve….. that I was indifferent…that I didn’t think anything…I didn’t think anything…I didn’t think she was…was…was… going to disappear.  I could have…I could have walked with them. I could have been more, like  no, you know, I’m going to take you home…and you know, and you know, I…I could have intervened more, you know, and not just said, ‘okay’ and gone home, you know?”

He is displaying guilt here.  Why would he be guilty if he was trying to be a good Samaritan? 

It’s even more chilling when Travis says, “You know, everyone has their own choices, you know, and she chose…to walk off with this guy, and (shoulder shrug, smile), I can’t ….I can’t blame myself for that.”

If you want my opinion, Travis is holding back what he knows to the be the truth, and if we look at what his body language is conveying, it looks very bleak for Kenia, sadly.

Wazineh Suleiman Found Alive, Hiding

Many people wrote to me and sent me the video of Abed Suleiman asking if I thought he was lying.  While I always find it odd when someone claims their marriage is “perfect”, I told each of you who wrote me Abed’s interview was not conclusive.  I didn’t see any outright hot spots that he was lying outside of saying his marriage was perfect. I needed more.

Apparently, Wazineh Suleiman is in hiding because she is afraid of her husband.  Thank goodness this story has a good ending at this point!  Let’s hope she stays safe.

Jenn Sterger’s Mix up with Brett Favre

Jenn Sterger wants to set the record straight that she didn’t want any part of Brett Favre. She spoke to Geroge Stephanopoulos on GMA yesterday. While this isn’t a high stake scenario, Jenn doesn’t do so well in this interview if you ask me.

Sterger was a sideline reporter for the jets when Brett Favre joined the team and they crossed paths.  Jenn says that Favre made unwanted advances to her.  I believe that, however, in this interview when George Stephanopoulos asked Jenn, “Did you send him a text that said, ‘If this is you, smile at me.'”

Sterger’s response, “No, I don’t really recall all of the texts. I don’t remember what was in them. I’m sorry.”

She doesn’t expect us to buy that, does she? “Really” (hedge!)?  She can’t remember?  Most people would have read those texts many times over after that ordeal and during, as well, if she was trying to figure out who it really was. She would have done so much better had she said, “I have no interest to talk about the details of this nonsense.”

I find Sterger angry, and maybe rightfully so, but I also find her arrogant and cocky –which puts me on immediate alert.  She has a very similar demeanor (and look) to Casey Anthony of all people, though I am in no way implying that she has Casey’s mental illness.

Here are my initial thoughts on Brett Favre when this broke.

My Thoughts: Jennifer Mee

Jennifer Mee tells us that when she got all the national attention from having the hiccups, she let it all go to her head, and she “…just started doing what (she) wanted to do.”

Jennifer says, “I took the path of the devil, I really did, instead of keeping my faith with the lord. I let the devil overcome me.”  When she says this, she is truly sad. She is being completely honest here.

Jennifer says that she thinks of the victim everyday and it eats her alive.  I believe her, but when the reporter asks her if she feels responsible, she says, “I can’t tell you the truth because…ah.. I didn’t do anything wrong.”

She couldn’t be more honest,  “I can’t tell you the truth because …”  However, in the second half of that statement, she was improvising, if you want my opinion.  What I believe she really wanted to say was …because if I own it, I will implicate myself and I cannot accept that.

She smiles at that time because she knows her actions started that ball rolling, but doesn’t want to own it because she doesn’t feel she pulled the trigger. This is causing her to feel conflicting emotions.  Yes, she feels bad that she did what she did, but she feels that she never intended for murder to be the outcome.  She continues, “I’m not guilty of anything.”  Jennifer doesn’t want to take responsibility for her actions, sadly.

She first told police a false story,  if you want my opinion, and then she confessed to the truth–though Jennifer wants us to believe the second confession is false in hindsight.  I suspect that is because she got arrested on the truth.  The reporter says to Jennifer, “Why would you implicate yourself in a murder?”

Jennifer says, “From (shakes her head no), I don’t know.  It’s hard…it’s hard to explain.”

It’s hard to explain, if you want my opinion, because if she says the truth, it will implicate her again, so what can she say? It’s hard.  Absolutely.  She is stuck between a rock and a hard place and she knows it unless she wants to fess up and face prison time.  Not a nice place to be for a bad decision.

She continues, “I did, I thought I was quote unquote ‘famous’ so young nothing would happen to me so I went with a story that I wouldn’t get in trouble with, but in all reality it put me behind bars 5 months and I could be facing life.”

Jennifer says she “went with a story”…a story is usually not how one refers to the truth.  I think the story was the first version she gave and when they didn’t buy it, she confessed to the truth believing that would “free” her, but it backfired instead. Instead, Jennifer found the truth didn’t sit well. That’s a hard lesson because we are all told as children, the truth will set you free, but as you mature you realize that statement has a very different meaning.

Jennifer expresses sadness when she talks about her grandmother’s death.  She displays true oblique eyebrows, but we don’t see that any other time prior to this, ironically. Jennifer believes she contributed to her grandmother’s death because of her actions.  Jennifer knows she stepped way out of bounds, but like anyone, doesn’t want to sit behind bars for the rest of her life.

Jennifer says she doesn’t want to think that far ahead about the trial, because she is scared, and I believe her. She cries again, showing true sadness when thinking about her family.

Then she shows true sadness when the reporter reminds her that she will see the victim’s family in court and asks Jennifer to say something to the victim’s family.  She shows true and genuine sadness when she says, “I just want to say I am sorry for the loss of his cousin and that I wish it would have been different than how it proceeded out to be ‘cuz he didn’t deserve it. He didn’t.  He did not deserve to go.  He did not.”  You can feel and see Jennifer is truly sad about the murder.

While Jennifer smiles through parts of the interview, I do not see them as malicious or arrogant smiles.  They are more nervous in nature, and not arrogant in any way.

Jennifer, if you want my opinion knows she made horrible choices, but she keeps clinging to the belief she didn’t kill the man.  She didn’t pull the trigger.  She doesn’t want to accept that she lured this man into a lethal situation and her smiles show her turmoil, her confused emotions. To me, it is akin to her saying, “Yes, I did that, but I didn’t intend for this to happen…so I’m not guilty (yet she knows her actions led to murder).”

She also has a hard time reconciling the fact that when she told the truth, she was arrested.  The truth, we all believe should set us free, and when she was honest in my opinion, it did her more harm than good in the eyes of the law. It put her behind bars, and she doesn’t feel that is right.

Life can be oh-so-complicated. Jennifer Mee got a taste of stardom and that taste was very destructive for her, sadly.
