Case frame
The surveillance image is a lead, not an identity.
Jennifer’s car and the person seen walking away from it are central to the public record. The available image does not justify naming someone. A careful file keeps the timeline, physical items, agency changes, and later review work distinct.
Research boundary
Check sources. Do not intervene.
Do not identify the surveillance figure or contact workers, residents, or people discussed online. Send firsthand information to FDLE through its current case channel.
