​@@thewillofabeast9079 Well said. I'm not a fan of police work but at the end of the day it was upto a different group of people, the jury, to convict him. The defense had no defense and couldn't provide an alibi. He could've known beforehand from staff that cameras weren't working at both places and that's why he offered the alibis there. If another person had entered the home when the girl was on the phone, killed her and removed her body , the stepdad was there all that time and would've been aware of it. I do wonder sometimes if in fact they conceal sexual crimes to save the parents the anguish, coz a simple slap could be negotiated with a reward of money or later curfews etc.

That together with the FRESH thistles under his car the same as the dump site where her body was found, the fact that he was the last person to be with her at that exact time she went missing, all point to his guilt.

Unless the DNA of the common weeds shows they came from the exact area and the marks couldn't be from any other type of car's seatbelts or another type of object, I can now see the reasonable doubt.

Did anyone stop to think/investigate if she was being molested? For a situation like this where a girl seems to have a guardian (biological or not) that she cares for only to become extremely defiant/rebellious. I think it’d be a failure on everyone’s part of that wasn’t at least investigated.

Binge watching Forensic Files while learning monsters are everywhere. If I were a juror on Mouser's case, I wouldn't have been convinced by Yellow Star Thistle or by the post-mortem imprints, alone. It doesn't even sound like investigators attempted to recreate the thigh impressions in other vehicle models for comparison. However, an abruptly ended conversation was most likely a result of getting caught on the phone by a parent. And, worse, no logical reason was furnished as to why Mouser lied about being on a computer at work that day. A lie in a murder case draws attention to the liar in considering him a murderer, which brings me back around to the matching Yellow Star Thistle, precision thigh imprints, with the phone hang-up and lie about work makes the prosecution's case more compelling.

The carpet and seatbelt marks on Jenna’s body matched down to the micron, which was pretty convincing. The defense attorney only says the prosecutors “didn’t theorize s-t” and offered no alternative explanation.

Well, not everyone wants to be on television (and, subsequently, the Internet) where millions of strangers will watch and judge them, like you did in this comment. It's very hard for some to be so vulnerable and discuss such difficult matters in front of a producer, camera crew, and millions of eyes watching. I don't blame them.

[@jeannettechimerofsky5433]

I was really good friends with Genna all through Junior High and I know for a fact how much her mother and stepfather loved her more than anything in the world! Her stepdad was a very calm cool and Collective guy it would be like you picturing your own father strangling you because you were a pain in the butt teenage girl just like every other teenage girl was! He didn't do this! I actually talked to somebody who saw her hitchhiking back in 1995 but for some reason that was not in the video! She was saw hitchhiking because she was upset she got grounded. This could have been anybody! I remembering being an emotion teen at the same time! An innocent man is in jail and of course a defense attorney is going to be upset that he knows an innocent man is in jail and he did everything he could to prevent that! I do not think it is very funny like some posted! I can even tell sarah, who was a classmate of mine doesn't believe this BS! She was the one being interviewed. He can't even get out on parole because he won't admit killing her because he didn't! So he'll spend the rest of his life in jail and is an innocent man because he will not say I killed her. So sad!

OF COURSE she called her friends. What did her mother expect? That’s not teaching your child to be obedient, it’s teaching them how to be sneaky. All this said, I can’t help thinking that the jury must have had more to base their decision on than just this rather weak forensic evidence.

[@luarena]

before it was even said that he was a suspect. , when I saw him at the burial in that photo I knew he was the killer.. and I surmised that as her call to her friend was cut off so fast it was someone in the family who stopped that call, because she was told not to use the phone... I believe for Sure he had enough of her bad behaviour and she probably told him to F off and he hit her then strangled her. the fact there was no evidence of sexual assault but that she was strangled indicates immense anger. not sexual intent.. teenagers can drive their parents crazy with bad attitude but most live to grow up and mature. he is guilty 100%

In her marriage, she changed into a submissive, crying wreck of doubt, was he cheating, was she good enough? I ain't thankful, I would have been if he never came into my life and hers. Why do non- blood people think we owe them gratitude, when all I wanted was my mom before him. He stole my first cozy, pink, barbie world and made it tense life with bellyaches and walking on eggshells and Sunday sports. Live apart together. Don't claim a house and think that children are only and completely happy, because some are not, and hold a grudge till their last day about everything, I know I do, Now I am gonna listen to Robbie Williams no regrets and cry again.....
