Westminster, CO- Standley Lake High School dropout Austin Sigg told his Mother he kidnapped 10 year old Witt Elementary student Jessica Ridgeway the morning of Friday October 5.
Mindy Ashbaugh Sigg , divorced from Robert J Sigg, the father of the couple’s two teenage boys, called Westminster Police Tuesday evening to alert them of her son’s admission.
Upon arrival, Austin Reed Sigg confessed the unthinkable. Sigg told investigators he strangled the little girl after he snatched her into his Jeep, hogtied her in the back, and they could find the remainder of the child in a cooler located in a crawl space at his 102nd St address. By 7:45PM Sigg was arrested for the kidnapping and murder of Jessica Ridgeway, and the attempted kidnapping and attempted murder of a female jogger on May 28, 2012 a few hundred yards from his home.
The self-professed death mobile was impounded and inventoried at an undisclosed evidence bay for processing .
Although Sigg did not graduate High School, he earned his GED and was attending the alternative school Warren Tech last March where he won second place in the forensics category- a CSI award. Sigg was currently enrolled at Arapohoe Community College with the intention of fulfilling the prerequisite courses necessary to join the mortuary science program- which requires a background check for acceptance.
The irony of an award matching the letters on the backs of jackets combing through the Sigg home was not lost on the seasoned crime scene technicians fastidiously processing this newest crime scene in the case.
It was also not lost on any of the law enforcement personnel present that field testing did not detect results synonymous with an environment used to dismember a human. They are confident that had to have occurred somewhere else.
They are missing a crime scene. Are they missing an accomplice?
Spawn or Pawn?
Austin Reed Sigg was born to Mindy and Rob Sigg on January 17, 1995 . This was the second marriage for Rob and two small children later, the couple would divorce before Austin’s fifth birthday.
Mindy Sigg, a tech for a Lasik provider in Westminster, had full custody of the boys while Rob continued his long and varied criminal history consisting of DUI’s, drugs, and finally landing in Federal prison for an identity theft and mortgage scheme in 2006. Robert is the president of Performance One Media- the company is named in current civil litigations, and he owns a go Kart racing team.
Extended family members speaking on the condition of anonymity to BOC, confirmed this morning that the family had serious concerns about Austin’s “direction” during his junior year at Standley Lake.
…” We heard that he was in counseling over issues related to the family breaking up, you know, Rob was in and out of prison sort of thing, but while Mindy kept telling everyone she was told this kind of phase of wearing black, being holed up in his room playing video games, and charging porn movies on her accounts was normal for a teenage boy, we had discussed someone taking the lead and mentioning we thought Austin did not seem “normal” for as long as I could remember. But then he had a girlfriend for a while, and he seemed to sort of snap out of it. The last thing I remember was that they had gone to some formal and the next thing we knew he was pulled out of school and in intensive therapy for a pornographic addiction, so I don’t know if that is what broke the kids up, or what. Mindy had it rough with the two boys on her own. She put herself through that school in Denver on her own dime while Rob got locked up and about the same time. I think the kids were probably very much on their own and by the time Austin started having really big issues, it may have been too late obviously.
We still don’t know how he comes out of prison and paid of over $140K in fines while Mindy was forced to file bankruptcy this summer we found out later. I tried to look up Rob’s stuff on the internet, but a bunch of the files from his criminal case are still sealed.”
A review of Ms. Sigg’s bankruptcy petition may indicate that Austin either had or was facing some juvenile charges. It was filed 2 days after the Memorial Day attack on a young female jogger Sigg is also charged with, and a few weeks prior to an elaborate luxury vacation the family took to the US Virgin Islands. As reported by kdvr, Investigators with WPD and the FBI may not have been aware of their suspect’s international travels and are now in contact with authorities abroad.
Emerging Profile
As the news of Austin Sigg’s arrest flashed through the town of 18,000 and then the Nation, those that knew him or claimed to know him well, hit the web. Below are the highlights that portray a picture of an adolescent exhibiting signs worthy of
Sarah Moravec, a Standley Lake High School senior, says she picked on 17-year-old Austin Sigg nearly every day for having a high-pitched voice.
“I picked on him a lot,” Moravec said. “Austin was just different. So, why not pick on the different people? But then again, I was bullied whenever I was younger.”
The Standley Lake senior said Sigg often wore dark clothing and hung out at the back of the cafeteria with others.
“We didn’t even think he was somebody our age,” Moravec said. “We thought it was some 45-year-old pervert or something like that.”
“Danni”- a girl who dated Sigg twice and spent time with him at Warehouse 180, a meeting place for Christian teens.
“He was sweet. I knew he had like a weapons collections, swords and knives, but it was just like his man cave.
Christy Mueller- walking on the trail around Standley Lake recently, encountered Sigg and a few friends. She felt immediately as if he was up to something.
…” I just felt as soon as I saw him he was up to something, if he (her dog) was not here I am afraid of what might have happened…”
Meaghan Barker was Sigg’s lab partner at Warren Tech-
…” We learned about DNA analysis, finger printing, hair follicles and decomposition…”
Someone claiming to love Austin Sigg and a fellow victim of bullying that Sigg helped, started a face book page in support of Sigg late yesterday and said that he may have confessed because he knew whoever else was involved could not be caught. He went on to ask forgiveness for his friend and called the act satanic.
Although an avid gamer under the tag dohastvath, there are no current online stats exist past June 2010. Sigg’s voice can be heard here, he plays Yoshi in this YouTube series with two other boys where he repeatedly expresses he is not gay and references a disturbing knowledge of bondage and graphic sexual devices and situations. The series was uploaded in 2009.
It is clear that Austin Sigg has a slight speech impediment, and indeed, an efeminite vocal tone at 14.
Yesterday during the press conference Jefferson County Prosecutor Scott Storey announced that further charges were possible in connection with Ridgeway’s murder and the investigation is ongoing.
The autopsy of Jessica Ridgeway’s remains located on October 10th are complete pending forensic and toxicology testing, however, her cause of death , if known, has not been released publicly.
This morning, it was decided that Sigg will be charged as an adult. His next court appearance is scheduled for October 30th. Austin Sigg’s DNA was recovered from Jessica Ridgeway’s backpack.

It’s astonishing and disgusting to hear the admission of bullying from his former classmate. In my eyes, she played a role in his mental perversion. What IS IT about people that they have to pick on and bully others?

I agree it is reprehensible. And in my kids school bullying no matter how minor is dealt with very harshly- however, his profile is not coming up one of rage for me.

Thank you for compiling and sharing the information Blink.
He may have suffered from Growth Hormone Defiency. Lack of height, pudgy, high pitched voice and pallor are all symptoms. If this hormonal imbalance is caused by a brain tumor then the violent tendencies or depression can also be factored in as a physiological root cause. GHD also causes shrunken testes and micro penis which could have affected his psychological state. When added to lack of parental guidance and family stability, well, the snowball just got bigger.
It’s hard to miss it when your male child has pituitary issues… the symptoms are very obvious. If Austin does have undiagnosed GHD then it further supports neglect on the part of his parents, IMO.
Not to dismiss the evil behind his acts in any way. I just find the human brain facinating. That one person can experience spiritual heights and bliss while another delves into the deep and dark caverns of evil…
He is not pudgy. There is nothing in his background to suggest this was an issue, and there would be significant missed school, specialists, meds, etc. Not that I don’t think we could find frontal lobe issues as one might suspect of a possible psycopath or sociopath.
B
No excuses for the evil hands that perpetrated JESSICA’S SUFFERING AND MURDER.
Don’t trust anything including the “turning in” to LE.
Don’t believe the evil has now “done the right thing”.
IT still continues.
ps
The video is introduced by him using his alleged user name . . . and imo, is not the most high-pitched heard afterwards. He answers the highest-pitched voice that is exclaiming the not gay, not gay.
The higher pitched voice is a much younger child. He flat out sounds exactly like Kurt Hummel (glee) to me.
For the record, Hummel plays a gay teen on glee. I could care less what this kid’s preferences are, but I do care how he got to the place he is, very much, we all should.
B
First and foremost thank God this guy is off the streets and that his Mother did the right thing and called the cops, undoubtably she has saved further victims from the same fate as poor young Jessica, many others may not have done so…
This guy seemed to be well down the road to becoming a serial killer (if he isn`t already one). That international travel is worrying as it seems to be around the period of time where his crimes were escalating…
I suppose being from a broken home, Dad with criminal background, Mom too busy moving on, being bullied for multiple reasons…put the ball in play and his behavioral problems continued to worsen. I also wonder if there is a second perp involved. This is a terribly grizzly crime to have been committed by a teen. It will be interesting to know if Mr. Sigg was up to no good in the USVI. Also, I wonder how close Austin and his brother were and if his brother is aware of exactly how Austin has been passing his time. My prayers for Jessica’s family, friends, classmates and all of those involved in this investigation. I just can’t imagine….
(snips)
“As soon as Sigg was brought into the courtroom – sporting a goatee and a mohawk – one of his family members started to sob.”
“Sigg asked questions in regards to his legal rights, which the judge allowed Sigg’s attorneys to explain to him.”
“Sigg looked back at Jessica’s family at least once during the proceedings. Jessica’s family did not react to anything said in court Thursday.”

Blink,
Want to be clear, I am not focusing on “I’m not gay, I’m not gay” other than to reference that was not his voice.
I got ya, and there is an entire series where his voice can be heard.
I gotta say people, if the only DNA evidence that links Sigg is on the backpack, I have a nagging feeling something is just not right in this case. At any rate, all the markings of a mental defense.
B
b says,but I do care how he got to the place he is, very much, we all should. i am glad you said that,cuz i want to know how he got there too. when i was reading the initial reports ,i got the feeling his mom was next,then i read the song on his page was stalking the mom,and how strange that ari ligget is practically doing the same thing at around the same time. bizarre , and the csi award winner leaves his dna,what does that say?
He is not pudgy. There is nothing in his background to suggest this was an issue, and there would be significant missed school, specialists, meds, etc. Not that I don’t think we could find frontal lobe issues as one might suspect of a possible psycopath or sociopath.
B
_____
Pudgy as a symptom is generally around the mid section only. Missing school and seeing specialists would only apply if his parents were actually having him treated which does not appear to be the case.
Did I hear Nancy Grace correctly last night state that mom had a boyfriend who recently moved out? The transcript from her show isn’t up yet. If that is correct I would like to know more about him.
Blink, why are we able to know everything about this 17 year old, and not even the names of the 15 and 17 year old brothers in the Autumn Pasquale case?
Is Sigg’s brother younger or older?
Their names are in my tags, so dunno.
Younger
B
I don’t know if ? was answered. In photo was there a cross on that string on Sigg’s necklace ? If so, does he still have it and could there be another perp/mentor type with a like cross? Was he doing any training in a funeral home?
I’m thinking something like the CraigsList farmhand killings by Richard J. Beasley, 52, and Brogan Rafferty, a 16-year-old. I believe that trial is going on right now and the teen is saying he felt pressured into helping or otherwise being a victim. Its a pattern we’ve seen all too often. Lee Boyd Malvo & John Allen Muhammad, Brendan Dassey & Steven Avery just to name a couple.
Here is the quote I was referring to from the Nancy Grace show:
MONA, CALLER FROM ARIZONA: Nancy, earlier I`ve been watching this as it broke news today. They — one of the neighbors mentioned that the mother had a boyfriend that moved out about a month ago. I want to know who this boyfriend is, where he works. Was he in a mortuary? What influence he had on this boy?
GRACE: You know, I`d like to know that, too, Mona in Arizona. But I will tell you right now regardless if he had a bad influence on him, if they played these crazy games together — I`m going to go to you on that very quickly, Matt Zarrell. Unless he took part in this crime he`s not going to be charged.
http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1210/24/ng.01.html
Blink, whoever uploaded that Youtube video of Sigg’s voice has closed their account. The video is no longer available.
Not surprised. I passed it to LE yesterday. We are going to run into gag order issues I believe.

Source: Suspect Told Police Jessica’s Murder Brought Him No Joy
Posted on: 10:30 am, October 25, 2012
WESTMINSTER, Colo. – The young man arrested for the murder of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway will be tried as an adult, prosecutors said Thursday.
The suspect, 17-year-old Austin Reed Sigg was arrested at his home in Westminster Tuesday night after police, according to a source, received a phone call from his mother.
According to a source, when Sigg confessed to kidnapping and killing the little girl, he told police he didn’t receive the joy from it that he thought he would, so he went further.
Snipped
http://fox4kc.com/2012/10/25/source-…ht-him-no-joy/
Where is the crime scene that will be the place of dismemberment? And a further question is did he have help from another person after the abduction?
The remains not found earlier were in a portable cooler box stashed under the crawl space of his mother’s residence. Makes me think that he has some other place that is frequented and is a hide away from the normal things in his life. It may also include others of like mind, thus an opportunity for an accomplice in the death, not the abduction.
This guy has been disturbed for a long time. Is it because of a broken home or could it be related to an inherited gene? Children and teens who get involved with Goth usually have a problem of some kind relating to interaction with people. It to me indicates an interest in death. Not theirs,but the death of someone else. Is this an enactment of an imagined 12th century death scene?
I see this very simply. They don’t know where and how ( outside of the forensic findings) she was dismembered, and my sources tell me all of her remains are still not accounted for.
If he was going to confess, why not tell all?
More work to be done here, I am afraid.
B
So there is a missing crime scene, and possibly a missing accomplice. And it’s also possible that the only DNA they have on Sigg is from the backpack.
I’m wondering if Sigg was a hunter, and could the missing crime scene be deep in the woods.
I’m sorry I sure can’t identify the source, but somewhere on another blog someone mentioned that Sigg’s mother said there was someone else. That Sigg didn’t do this alone. There was no source in the comment, or I would have made a note of it.
And about the DNA and the backpack, as soon as I heard he was a student and that he’s studied crime scene investigation, I wondered how he could possibly have left any DNA anywhere, because wouldn’t he know better than most how to avoid leaving DNA?
I think the idea of him having an accomplice is even more horrifying. Blink profiled this guy as being a RARE and dangerous type of killer. One who chooses children, both sexes, AND adults. A rare thing. Maybe he does have something physically wrong with him, a tumor, as you said Amys Sister, or at least some kind of frontal lobe issues, as you said Blink. So what are the chances of TWO people making an agreement to commit such rare crimes? Unless one is the sick one and the other is just extremely influenced by the sick one. I’m afraid to say it, but maybe the brother?
good update, Blink. from your link, it sure does sound like there could be accomplices, especially with the lack of crime scene.
http://www.9news.com/news/article/295988/222/Ridgeway-suspects-ex-girlfriend-says-he-was-sweet-and-kind
So, should the people in this area let their guard down? I think, not a chance, until we find out if there was an accomplice(s) and until the additional crime scene is revealed.
I don’t like the idea of blaming people outside of the killer in general as happens so much in these cases, because none of us are perfect parents, friends, or family members, but I sure hope Sarah Moravec in time matures enough to understand the shame she should feel for those comments and her admitted bullying.
FYI..BFN has a good photo/sketch comparison for the jogger. Member johan555 created it and you will need his permission to post it here for your research if interested.
To the father’s neighbor who almost hit a news crew with his speeding car . . . get a grip.

Nothing like doing that on camera where they shoot your plate. Idiots.
B
Blink and Cindy,
Cindy, here we are again on the porn subject. This boy was addicted to PORN?? His brain hadn’t even finished growing yet. And what kind of nasty stuff had it progressed to if it turned into an addiction I wonder. I’m wondering how much the porn could have influenced him, I mean it sounds like this was a few years ago, when he was even younger, and how much could this have made him what he is now?
I think his father should have made sure he knew what was going on in the kid’s head. Probably when his father was young he had no access to anything NEAR what this kid had access to on the internet. I don’t really know enough about it, but I’m just wondering if crime studies have shown a link between porn and crime.
Maybe Austin would confess more if a Sig Sauer P299 was pointed his way.
I only care about the details of the case, intellectually. Otherwise, he’d be outta here.
Duchess, your link didn’t work and I suspect gag order especially if he was quoted as having “no joy” over the actual murder and needed more stimuli in dismemberment.
This does appear to be sexually motivated. Blink, your thoughts?
As he has a serious porn addiction background, I can safely say that at it’s root, it is sexually motivated to an extent, because this type of offender is a sexual deviant, and the second one marries violence with arousal, it is an eternal driver.
B
Duchess, the link was just broken. Here’s another:warning graphic and not necessarily accurate, unfortunately.

October 24, 2012
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V-uExizJdk
Are the two other kids in the ski photo friends or relatives?
From the little we have heard, it doesn’t appear he was anti-social. He had a girlfriend in 8th and 9th grade, he talked and waved to adult neighbors, he asked to play capture the flag with neighborhood girls, he was seen at the park with two other young people. He hung out with other goths.
I just wonder what snapped in him. It sounds like he had a dark obsession that he could not control.
One more question for anyone that is patient enough to explain this to me….How does the lack of a crime scene indicate the possibility of an accomplice? With access to a vehicle, it appears he would be able to manage the crime entirely by himself.
I’d like to know more about the cooler. Did he purchase it? Or did it belong to his mother? Has it been tested for prints?
@ Edwardwho is bfn?
I think I read (I’ll have to look back) that a girl saw him on the trail with friends one day and she felt he was up to no good – she mentioned she would have been scared had she not had her dog. I’d be curious to know with whom he was walking. That little neighbor interviewed on tv last night mentioned he really didn’t have male friends and played hide the flag and other games with the group of girls – all close to 13 y.o.
I’m with you Blink and others,
somethings not right here, this isn’t over and definately
not as simple as he’s arrested and end of story.
UGH

Does anyone know if his father was in court today?
There is no doubt that this case will become one that many study. From my pow he was troubled,young…committed a crime…family found out…covered for him and tried to get help…put him back in society and crossed their fingers…which did not work…and Jessica’s family have to live this nightmare of someone that wanted to disect people as a profession and had possible sick sexual drives and could not wait for a real dead body and produced his own and only looked at beautiful, innocent, just trying to do what she is suppose to and go to school, loved Jessica as an item. I only pray pray pray she was gone very quickly. I can not give a pass to his family. To little to late.
pov (point of view) not w…argggg
His “shark eyes” seem so cold and vacant.

Blogs for Natalee
I was unable to post yesterday, so glad an arrest was made.
Sounds like Standley Lake may have been a routine hang out for this kid. Drug involvement? What does one do there, at 8am? I haven’t heard if he was employed anywhere. I would love to be a fly on the wall in the psych ward to hear how they analyze him, what did he think this was going to do for him?
OT but what is going on with people? Kids killing kids, police officer and his morbid plan? Is it video games, movies, social media?
I had lunch with my 8 year old son at school today. His friend sitting next to me told me about his arm getting pulled out of its socket when he was a baby by his father shaking him but his mom isn’t with his dad anymore. She is going to marry his 3rd dad soon. ‘His 2nd dad didn’t do anything to them’, but my mom is now marrying my 3rd dad. I asked him if he ever sees his dad, first dad and he said ‘no’.
I found this conversation so sad and feared it was a look into the instability and loss of our youth. Not all kids turn bad, but we need to recognize what are the factors external to the child contributing to the path some of them take.

“Sources told the CALL7 Investigators that police would have eventually been led to Sigg, because he was one of 500 people who voluntarily submitted their DNA to investigators. So, while the phone call tip to police led to Sigg’s arrest more quickly, once all of the DNA samples from neighborhood residents had been processed, investigators would have connected the cases to Sigg.”

Good show Blink.
Any standing relationship btwn Dad and son?
Not that I can see recently. I just read a statement he provided, I would say no.
B
Great interview on the Dana Pretzer show, Blink. Thank you for that.
I have a question. If there is an accomplice, what would his profile be? And would he commit a murder by himself or only along with Austin Zigg?
Also, I’m curious about Jane’s question now, and could the boys that were seen on the jogging path with Austin Zigg be accomplices? I wonder if the police have descriptions and sketches of them. Would Austin Zigg’s mother know who they are.
JANE said:

Joan- I just do not have enough info at this point to provide an educated response. The possibilities are endless without distilling information. I will address if possible when more intel emerges.
B
Cindy and all,
I don’t know if you heard the Dana Pretzer show tonight, the interview with Blink, but she answered the question about whether porn is linked to crime. She said that Ted Bundy, in his final interview, said that porn was a catalyst for him, that without it, he might never have acted on the weird thoughts in his head. I’m paraphrasing, but that was the gist of it. Wow.
I saw the radio blurb at 10 but could never get it to load.
Is it archieved?

i’d still like to know , the story of the cross, was it a gift , did he drop it,or leave it on purpose ,did the markings mean anything, where was it purchased ,and why is it crooked? now that we know he is goth ,it reminds me of the movie, susperia.did he know the kid who made the patridge park video , did he see it?
Sunshine_4me
In regard to your story of the conversation in the school with the friend of your child. We have become a society that does not put the proper values on choosing a marriage partner and being faithful to them. I spent 8 years as a daily volunteer in the public school system in our county. There were many such children with multiple dads and few were real fathers to the children.
There are many such stories among our youth. Moms having children before they have time to evaluate the father and vice versa. The children are those that are harmed in such situations.
We don’t have a lot of information regarding the family of this perp. Mom and biological father were divorced probably because of the fathers propensity to get in trouble with the law. Not stealing in the normal way, but using schemes to defraud others.
The information from the child about the perp not having normal relations with those of his gender, but playing constantly with girls is an indicator of a big problem.
I hope that LE will keep digging until they find the addional remains and get a real determination of whether there is actually another person involved.
Rob’t Sigg issued a statement.
“There are no words to express the sorrow that I and my family feel for the pain they are suffering. We are devastated by the knowledge that my son, Austin Sigg, has been arrested and will be charged with the murder of their beautiful daughter Jessica.”
“This horrible event is a tragedy for both the families, as well as the community. I ask also for your prayers and support for Austin’s mother, whose courageous act — unimaginably painful for any parent — has put this tragedy on the path to resolution,” Rob Sigg said. “I am hopeful that as the legal process unfolds, the Ridgeway family may come to know peace.”

Thanks Word. Anyone wish to take a shot at the translation?

Ted Bundy did claim:
“Pornography can reach in and snatch a kid out of any house today. It snatched me out of my home 20 or 30 years ago. As diligent as my parents were, and they were diligent in protecting their children, and as good a Christian home as we had, there is no protection against the kinds of influences that are loose in a society that tolerates” (porn)
Ted Bundy wasnt “snatched” out of his home- by porn- This was his sick way of wanting to be seen as a “victim” himself- He snatched- he raped- He murdered-
Despite Ted Bundy giving hundreds of prior interviews with LE and doctors – in which he never mentioned at all ever his “porn”
He suddenly in his death bed confession told the story of how porn led him to this lowly state…
Why? well first because He wanted to make sure that no one looked too hard for the answers certainly not in his past not his upbringing for he assured us that he came from a “wonderful” “fine, solid Christian home” a family that- did not drink or smoke or gamble- no physical abuse or fighting in the home- regularly went to church
“I hope no one will try to take the easy way out of this and accuse my family of contributing to this.”
Still in his effort to confess- he- on that list, left out sexual abuse…. perhaps he forgot- we’ll never know
Ted wanted to make sure no one but he had “an easy way out” he wanted to make sure he was the only one with the answers and he was going to have the last word.
Second Ted wanted to be sure to point out HE wasnt the only one to blame
He certainly didnt want America to be let off the Hook for how They that is- WE contributed to the rapes and murders of his 30 KNOWN victims. How by allowing porn ofcourse.
( BTW He went to his death claiming there were more victims- but wanted to stop his execution before he “confessed”)…oh well so much for “coming clean”
How does a serial killer like Ted get his victims and remain unnoticed by family and friends?
By gaining their trust, by manipulation, by portraying himself as something hes not-
How? by waiting for the right “audience” for the “scam” -
by “becoming” who they need him to be inorder to be “believed”
as a nice unassuming young man in need of help-
my arms in a sling can you help me?
==
Who was Teds last victim?
Who did he seek out and grant his last interview to?
James Clayton “Jim” Dobson, Jr. – an American evangelical Christian the founder of Focus on the Family and most importantly a member of The Meese commission which helped to write a report on what they believed to be the harmful effects of pornography and the connections between pornographers and organized crime.
Why did Ted Bundy seek out James Dobson?- because= just as he had always done he was intent on lying and manipulating and who does a liar & manipulator surround themselves with inorder to be believed?
People who will not question “the truth” of his words-
Why Dobson? Because Dobson was his mark -someone who would not question or challenge Teds newfound “truth”
Why not? because it was James Dobsons “truth” and Bundy knew it-
James Dobson championed the cause of censorship-Porn is bad- its harmful- its immoral- its a sin- it leads one to a “sexual frenzy” of violence and worse
James asked and answered:
“Outside these walls, there are several hundred reporters that wanted to talk to you, and you asked me to come because you had something you wanted to say.”
“You feel that hardcore pornography, and the door to it, softcore pornography, is doing untold damage to other people and causing other women to be abused and killed the way you did.”
James Dobson bought into Ted Bundys “truth” hook line and sinker- and Dobson sold it to the American people as “the truth”- the interview earned Focus on the Family over $1 million which they in turn mostly donated to anti-pornography groups
Its a shame that James Dobson took the word of Ted Bundy as truth for if he could have looked at it objectively he might have “focused ” the donations solely towards the victims families instead of for
anti porn groups or perhaps he could have donated the money to science to the further study of any correlation between porn or other media and rape and murder especially violent types.. Which is lacking
However in Demark once they legalized pornography the # of rapes dropped as well as showing in some labatory studies the viewing of sexually explicit material of a non-violent nature actually reduces aggressive tendencies in people prone to them
Having said ALL that
I dont know if porn is the answer to why in this case or if it is part of the answer
IDK what type of porn is involved –
is it violent porn?
Because if not then IMO we have to look at whether or not the “porn addiction” was reducing the aggressive tendencies as was shown in laboratory studies
We all want to know the whys – we all want to believe there is some easy formula to figuring out why Ted- why Eric- Why Dylon -Why Aaron….?
Is it bullying?
Is it a broken home?
Is it abuse?
Is it society?
Is it drugs- or lack/wrong pres. drugs?
Is it receiving no or poor psychiatric help?
Is it games music dress porn?
violent types of media?
are these causes or effects/ symptoms- or is it genetic
Or is it all of the above or none of the above-
IDK
I do know there is no easy answer and I do know it will never be because they are “the devil” or “evil”
They were all babies once- and no baby is evil
My prayers for Jesicas family and for all-
I am so sorry no one figured out the answers in time to save Jessica
May we all keep trying
AJMO
Peace
Correction: Austin- not Aaron-
and
this snip should have read:**
he could have donated the money to science to the further study of any correlation between porn or other media and rape and murder* especially the correlation to violent types of media *.. Which is lacking
Thanks
I was also curious re the CSI Second Place Award at Warren Tech. Could there have been an instructor a little to eager, enthusiastic to take this troubled kid under his wings and show him a little too much? I continue to question how a teen could commit such a grizzly, savage crime.
Saw this posted in a comment by “R” on a kdvr article… Sigg appears in this Performance One (his father’s company) YouTube video wearing the little wooden cross…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O7cCZAqWGQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Austin Sigg and cross appear around the 1:45 mark walking on left side
Don’t know if you’ve seen this yet Blink? But leads to further questions of if he took the cross off to leave with her body, it was ripped off, or if he had several of these?
Yes, the still from the Youtube was sent to LE as well as the other items discovered in our research/investigation.
