IF YOU DO NOT LIKE................

WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THEM DO NOT READ IT. WE ARE ENTITLED TO OUR OPINIONS AND OUR FREEDOM TO CHAT ABOUT THIS. I AM TIRED OF PEOPLE ASKING ME WHO I AM. GUESS WHAT I AM NOT GOING TO TELL YOU WHO I AM. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THAT THEN I AM SORRY. IT SEEMS LIKE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO JENNIFER ARE MORE CONCERNED THEN HER OWN HUSBAND.

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WHAT WE SAY PLEASE DO NOT READ WHAT WE ARE WRITING. THAT WAY YOU HAVE NOTHING TO GET MAD OR UPSET ABOUT.

THE ONLY REASON WE HAVEN'T ASKED TO DO A SEARCH FOR JENNIFER IS BECAUSE WE DO NOT WANT TO DO IT WITHOUT THE FAMILY BEING INVOLVED. IF THEY DO WANT TO DO A SEARCH I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE WILLING TO HELP.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT THIS UNTIL JENNIFER COMES HOME.

wow housewives trying to get in on the action of some one elses pain

Deb said...

Those of us that actually care enough about Jennifer being found, must really be stepping on the toes of those that do not care, or are trying to cover something up in this case!!

I find it absolutely amazing, that after a photo of Jennifer with her children is posted, and after info from neighbors and friends starts to be posted, we suddenly have someone going "nuts" and posting such ludicrous ramblings. Maybe us housewives, that are trying "to get in on the action of some one elses pain" are hitting some raw nerves?????

Whether these negative posts are coming from a "special friend" of Jason's.....or Jason himself, please take note and be advised that we will NOT go away until Jennifer is brought home....one way or the other. Be advised that we will take the statements of family, friends and neighbors SERIOUSLY.....and the information that they give, will be posted. Their names will remain private, for their safety. BUT, their information will become "public property" in the search for Jennifer.

If this case should become upgraded from a "missing person" case to murder, we will continue in our efforts to bring the perpetrator to swift justice.

Jennifer is not a daughter to one of us.....but she is a daughter. Her parents have a right to know what has happened to their child. Jennifer is not a mother to one of us.....but she is a mother to 3 beautiful children that have a right to know what has happened to their mother. Jennifer is not a personal friend to one of us.....but she is a personal friend to other people that have a right to know what has happened to their friend.

Jason Powers needs to know that we will not just "disappear" as his beautiful wife, Jennifer did. Jason Powers needs to know that we will not be silenced and our fingers will not cease to type Jennifer's name as many times and in as many places as we can, until Jennifer comes home.

If you (ardmoregirl;anonymous'lucky1...or any other names that "people" can come up with), do not like what you see being posted in an effort to find Jennifer.....you most certainly do not have to go to any site that is set up in her name....and you certainly do not have to read what is posted.

No matter what you post...or how many times that you post it....WE ARE NOT GOING AWAY UNTIL JENNIFER IS HOME..........

deb, Oh wow is all I can say. When I read your post my mouth hit the floor. You are right. Us "housewives" are not going anywhere.

For the record, I do have a job outside the home. I am also a mother and a wife.

I agree, if you don't like what is put on these blogs then turn away and don't read them.

my name is sharon mullins yup sharon mullins the only one on here who isnt afraid to say my name.You hit a nerve with me because of an email you posted were the girl said she lives across the street from jennifers cousin lives on the same steet were jennifers parents live,well im the only cousin she has on the same srteet with her parents and the girl said that her cousin was pointing a finger at jason not in those words of coarse,but anyway i have not said anything like that but to people reading this it looks like me that she is talking about thats what i dont apperciate thats pretty serious to accuse someone of and thats not right to take hearsay and post it thats not doing anybody any good, nor to tell when you see police cars pulling up in her parents drive way that is just being nosey that has nothing to do with finding jennifer that is just harrising her parents they are goig through enough without someone watching them and posting whats going on at there house.Yes its good to get the word out but there is a diffrence in concern and gossip

Deb said...

Sharon,

We are deeply concerned about what Jennifer's parents are going thru. We are willing to do anything that we can to help them find her. All we can do is put info out that is given to us. If that info is wrong....please let us know so, and we will gladly rectify the problem.

There are people that would be more than happy to help her family get flyers up. There are people that would be more than happy to help in search parties.

We are trying to keep Jennifer's name out there, so that the public will not forget about her. We want people to remember that she is the mother of 3 young children, who need their mother with them. We want people to remember that she has parents that love her and are worried about her, who need their daughter with them.

There are people that post on all of the sites set up for her, as well as al.com forums, that have seen Jason with their own eyes, out in public. They are not posting "gossip", but rather what they have seen with their own eyes. What they have seen, is a man whose wife is missing, that seems to not have a care in the world. They see a man that is laughing and flirting (with one woman in particular). That doesn't seem to be the actions of a man that is concerned about his missing wife.

We have had someone to post on the al.com forum saying that Jennifer has a history of "running away" from her family. They have posted that she is a known drug user, who is probably living on the streets "strung out". They have posted that her 1st husband is also missing, so they have run off together. Whoever this person is, they are posting some of the most negative things about Jennifer that I have ever read about anyone. I have asked this person, more than once, to please tell us where they got their info on Jennifer from. They refuse to respond.

We are not doing anything to cause any more pain to her family, than they are already going thru. All we are doing, is trying to keep Jennifer's name in people's minds. We are NOT doing this for any recognition from anyone. We are NOT doing this for pats on the back and "15 minutes" of fame. We ARE doing this, in an effort to help bring Jennifer home to her children and parents.

The information concerning Jennifer being a known drug user and leaving for days at a time is true. As "Deb" and "Help find Jennifer Powers" have clearly said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Well, for what it is worth (which of course isn't much), here is mine. I certainly appreciate the fact that you guys want to keep her name and information out there until she comes home, but you don't know Jennifer or the whole story. "Help find Jennifer Powers" has said herself that she has never met Jennifer. That is what has been so perplexing to me as I have read the blog entries. Of course the fact that you don't know her does not mean that you don't have the right to be concerned about her. There again, I appreciate your efforts. But for those of us who have watched her headed down this destructive path and have been bracing ourselves for something like this to happen for a while now, it is difficult to read your accusations and your rebuttles to ones who do truly know Jennifer and Jason. I believe your site started out with the best of intentions. But somewhere along the line your lack of information has clouded your judgment of this situation. In the beginning, I earnestly read your entries hoping to find new information or join a search party if one was formed. Now, the lack of useful information will cause me to take your advice and stop reading it. I've held my tongue, or my fingers in this case, because Jennifer's family is aware of her drug problem and probably do not want to bring it out. But now that it's been mentioned, here we are. Was Jason or the family supposed to publicize that fact about her? Of course not. It's painful enough. As for Jason's behavior, who are you to judge how he behaves especially when there is so much you don't know. I won't identify myself, but I am family, and I want her to come home more than you can even imagine. You won't hear from me again. I just couldn't stand it any longer.

THANK YOU SHARON!!! And know i will not leave my name for the fact of confidence for the friends and family of jennifer and jason...and by the way.."ardmore girl" is not one of his "special friends" she is 10 years younger than him.....I am a friend of jennifer and jason and i do not think that this sight is helping...it is just gossip..as ardmore girl, sharon and anonymous have said...IF YOU DO NOT KNOW JASON OF JENNIFER HOW CAN YOU TALK???? We are concerned about her, but we have watched her self destruct for many years...as for Jason...he has to keep it together for three children (one who is not his, but he takes care of like his own). I have seen him break down when the children are not around. As for him "laughing" at work....I didnt know it was a crime to laugh..or that it made you guilty....SO AS IT HAS BEEN SAID STOP GOSSIPING ABOUT JENNIFER AND JASON AND IF YOU WANT TO HELP...CONTACT THE FAMILY AND ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO....and by the way...as for flyers...Jason works for UPS and hands out lfyers at every delivery stop...so once again get the facts straight..before you start talking about things you know nothing about!!!!!

Help find Jennifer Powers said...

anonymous,

I know Jason works at UPS. My husband also works there too. I don't think Jason is handing out flyers. For one that is to be done on his personal time and not company time. Next, I have not seen one flyer in Huntsville. If he is handing out flyers it should not be done on company time. That just slows the driver down and then other drivers have to step in and help. Which then takes away time from there families.

Ok, we know she is a known drug user. Ok thats fine. Everyone makes mistakes in there lives. No one is perfect. I understand how hard it is to stop doing something that you are hooked too. I drank for 12 years before I had a wake up call. I too used to leave for days or weeks at a time.

I still think that should have been put out in the news. If that was known back in July when it was on the news then maybe it would helped. I understand that the family doesn't want it out. But I think that is importaint information. What if she is in some drug house and the people living there see that on the news. They see that and tell her to leave. Maybe she would have been found by now.

Addiction is a powerful thing. I know you can not just get up and walk away from it and say everything is going to be ok. It does not work that way. It takes years and some times a life time. We don't think any less of Jennifer because she uses or used drugs. She still has 3 children at home that want to know where there mother is. She still has her parents, friends and husband.

Maybe she is hurt and is listed as a Jane Doe somewhere in a hospital. Maybe she went away to get clean. If she is trying to get "clean" great, I am happy for her. Maybe the only way she could do it was to hit rock bottom first. Most of the time you have to hit your bottom before you are able to get clean. I pray she is alive and well. I hope that she is in a treatment center somewhere changing her life for the better.

But we can't help unless the family has a way for us to help. The sheriffs dept was no help when some of us called to find out how we can help. They said that the case was confidential and they could not give out any info.

If the family wants the help of the public then maybe they should ask for the media to set up a time so the family can ask. Send a copy of the flyer to the news stations, that way people can pick them up and hand out copies. Set up a time and day where the family is avalible for us to pick up flyers from them.

We have asked many questions. Does she have any tattoos, what was she last wearing. Just the normal questions.

You can call it gossip all you want. Like I said before, if you do not like what you are reading then don't come and read it. I understand that laughing is not a crime. But the way Jason acts is not the way a husband should act when his wife is missing. Why would another woman be asking about him and when she is told he is off of work because he hurt his foot and she gets a really sad look on her face. Then when he is at work he is standing there for a good 5-10 minutes laughing. Let me tell you body language says a lot. If I was in his shoes I would say hello and be on my way so I could take care of the kids and get out and look for my wife.

If you want to get mad about what we say, that is fine with me. You can take your anger somewhere else.

so again all you know about jasons behavior is hearsay...you have not personally talked to him...and maybe you should look around a little bit more... i was in madison and huntsville today and saw about 5 flyers...would you want the world to know your daughter or husband has a drug problem.....didnt think so...and didnt know it was a crime to be concerned about a coworker...it wouldnt be big deal if it was man that asked about jason or a man he was laughing with would it...didnt think so...so again...with out knowing the situation..you are spreading rumors...come on how does that help??

Deb said...

anonymous.....I thought that you weren't going to read the "gossip" on this or other blogs anymore. You say that, yet you cannot seem to stay away.

If in fact Jennifer does have a drug problem, then she along with her children and parents have my sympathy. As the g-daughter of an alcoholic that died as a result of his addiction, I know just how hard it can be on a family.

I do have some questions though that come to mind. IF Jennifer has a drug problem, then her "contacts" are going to be in the Huntsville, Harvest, Ardmore area. This pretty much means that this is the area that Jennifer should be in. Why hasn't she been seen yet? There are just not enough areas in any of these places where a person could "hide out" and not be seen even once in the time that she has been gone.

It has been said that Jennifer talked to her mother everyday. Isn't it strange that someone who talks to their mother on a daily basis hasn't called her one single time to just say "Hi, and don't worry about me." There are just too many unanswered questions about this entire situation.

As HFJP has said....why was it at least not reported what she was last seen wearing??? Why has it not been reported if she has any scars, tattoo's or markings on her body that would stand out to someone that saw her?? Why has no photo of Jennifer been shown to the public??

Stating what you see a person doing is not "gossip". You see what you see. How many times have any of you told someone else what you have seen with your own 2 eyes?? Was it "gossip", or is it what you saw personally??

I also have known UPS drivers personally. The ones that I've known have not been allowed to hand out flyers of any form or type while they are on the job. That is considered personal business by the company. Any and all personal business must be done on your own time....not on the company's time. Also, the only flyers that anyone we know have seen, have had Jennifer's mother as the contact point for information. Why is that?? Wouldn't her husband want to talk to anyone personally that might have seen his wife??

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. We will NOT stop until Jennifer is found. If any info that we receive is false, then let us know personally in an email, in a nice way. My email address can be seen simply by clicking on my name on this page. Or I can save you some time by simply giving it to you here.....Chevygirl40usa@hotmail.com...and my name is Deborah Jansons. Don't come on here and rant......it doesn't look like you are trying to find your "family member" when you do that. I have also started a myspace page for Jennifer. It is at http://www.myspace.com/findjennifer
I am still in the process of getting it in order...but it is there for people to see.

If we have the "wrong info" about Jennifer....give us the correct info and we will be more than happy to post it.

I am the anonymous directly under Deb's response to Sharon. The other anonymous is someone else. But, you caught me. I did check this morning. I mean it's hard to write something and not see if someone responded. You have many questions. Good questions. But, the fact remains that you don't know us. You don't know about the strained relationship lately between Jennifer and her parents. You don't know the decision behind putting her parent's number on the flyer. You don't know how many times Jason has talked with the Sheriff's Dept. or how many times they've called him. The Sheriff's Dept. is aware of the drug problem and has searched places of known drug activity. You don't know the advice given to us by the Sheriff's Dept. concerning the media. You bash Jason for not handing out flyers, then you bash him for handing them out at work. You asked people not to come on here and rant, but you have. Ranting about something you know very little to nothing about I might add. You asked why all the flurry of responses after the picture was posted. I can't speak for everyone, but personally, it struck a nerve with me because Jennifer doesn't look much like that anymore. She no longer has that youthful, beautiful look. Years of drug abuse has taken it's toll. I guess I wanted you to know just how off base you were getting. The reason that you don't know the answers to all these questions is that we certainly don't feel accountable to two ladies who have started a blog and a my space account. We might have benefitted by communicating with you concerning all this, but the accusations and finger pointing have made us feel that that wouldn't be a wise thing to do. So, you really don't know what's been done on Jennifer's behalf from the family's standpoint and it will remain that way. You've said you will not stop until Jennifer is found. Stop what.. typing on your computer. That's fine. It is certainly in your right to do that. I just do not understand how so much has been said and printed concerning someone you've never known. It would be like me going to NASA and giving a rocket scientist advice on how to build his rocket. I wouldn't know what I'm talking about therefore my advice wouldn't be worth much.

DID YOU MISS THE PICTURE IN THE HUNTSVILLE TIMES???????

Deb said...

Actually, I DO know a little about how things work when you are dealing with the media AND a police enforcement facility, ie; Sheriff's Dept.'s, police dept.'s, etc. You see, here is something that you don't know about me. I worked for a number of years, in a position that put me in direct contact with the employees of the people working in their positions. I did everything from buffering their questions to everything else right on up the list. And.....according to my former employer, who is still a close friend....I did a darn good job.

Neither of us have "bashed" Jason in any way. We have asked questions about his behaviour. And yes, I did ask ardmoregirl if she was a "special friend". I asked that based on what people have seen him (with their own 2 eyes) do at work. Whether you want to admit it or not, there are people that he works with that see things that you do not see, unless you are going to work with him. No one was "bashing" him about the flyers. We were simply stating that there are employers that do NOT allow you to take care of your personal business when you are on the job.

HFJP posted emails that she had received from someone. She DID not just make something up and put it out there. As I have said before, if either of us are given the wrong information....correct it for us. BUT, do it in a nice manner, instead of ranting about it. Contact one of us and say....I appreciate what you are doing....but this info is incorrect.

You also need to understand from our point of view, that ANYONE can come to one of the sites set up in Jennifer's name, sign in as Anonymous and CLAIM to be a family member. This is a 2 way street. You don't know us and we don't know you. I respect HFJP's right to privacy, in not giving her name out. She has her reasons for that and knowing the facts surrounding it, I agree with her decision and back her in it.

All we want to do is keep Jennifer's name alive in people's minds. We want to do that in hopes that someone will remember just one little thing that might help to find her. Sometimes, people see something or someone and just file it away in their mind. If they can be reminded of it, even though it seemed like something small....it could be the one thing that helped to bring her home.

If one of my children were missing.......I would be grateful for any and all help that I could get in finding them.

Help find Jennifer Powers said...

I know that there was not a picture in the Huntsville Times. I get the paper everyday. The only place I saw a picture was the one news channel 19 had on TV once.

If Jennifer's parents are standing by his side why weren't they there when he talked to the media.

Anonymous said...

I've been reading this blog for awhile now. I have not posted before but when I finished reading some of the things here, I had to say something.

I do know Jennifer. I have known her for a long time. Until she came up missing, I saw her on a regular basis and we would talk. We talked about our kids and we talked about our husbands. I won't go into detail about everything, but I can tell you that she was not happy being married to Jason and she was afraid of him.

I do not believe that she was using drugs. She didn't show any signs of a person that uses drugs. Her kids were too important to her for her to do something like that. Jennifer is a sweet person and a good person.

I hope that she comes home soon because I miss her.

To all that leave comments on this blog, please be aware that Jennifer's and Jason's children are old enough to read. I can only imagine how those precious children must be hurting. We don't know the facts so please for her children's sakes be careful what you type. I also want it to be known that Jason was raised by a wonderful and loving mother in a stable home. So please pray for Jennifer's safe return home and for the family that is worried and missing her. Remember God knows all, and is all powerful! Praying to our Heavenly Father is the best thing we can do!

I agree, that God knows all. He knows what happened the night that Jennifer left. He knows where Jennifer is at and I truly believe that He holds Jennifer in His hands, even as I type these words.

My only hope, is that Jennifer's children, parents, family and friends will know where she is before too much time has passed. They have that right for their own peace of mind.

As for the person that posted, saying that you know Jennifer and have talked with her and spent time with her in the past, I hope that you also find out what has happened to your friend. Thank you for your post, also. I truly didn't know what to do when I read your post.

What UPS store did Jason work at the time of the disappearance?

Anonymous said...

Please keep posting! We have suspected that Jason did it since the day we found out Jennifer went missing. Now, Jason is living with Jennifer's Grandma and being supported by them. A killer is living in their house! And they are too stupid enough to realize it! I guess the case will never be solved since they keep protecting Jason. Too bad for their own daughter....
