Yarmolenko’s body was found last week next to her car on the bank of the Catawba River. Police said suffocation was the cause of death but they are not sure of the circumstances surrounding her disappearance and death.
Mount Holly Police have released a surveillance tape of Yarmolenko visiting a Goodwill near campus to drop off some donations hours before she was found dead.
Our latest information is that she made a stop at the credit union and then stopped at the Jackson's Java near the UNCC campus. She left Jackson's Java around 10:50 in the morning.
Yarmolenko was last seen leaving Jackson’s Java on University City Boulevard on May 5 just before 11 a.m. Her body was found a few short hours later at 1:15 p.m.
Yarmolenko was a graduate of Chapel Hill High School in Orange County.
I saw this broadcast on Fox News and it caught my eye. Here is a young immigrant girl in college in North Carolina and she is found dead, just laying there next to her car. Cause of death is strangulation. No mention of sexual assault or robbery. However, her car was crashed into a tree stump and she was just laying there next to it like she fell out. It is a strange story and is a big mystery for NC cops. There just isn't a single clue.
So I decided I would do some charting and see what the stars wanted to tell me. It is a tight sequence of events in a short period of time as she leaves the coffee shop at almost eleven and is found dead just after one. She wasn't seen with anyone, leaving with anyone, talking to anyone. Nothing points to anybody else and she was mostly noted by viewers as being alone on this sunny day.
My first chart, of course was for the time she was leaving the coffee shop. The chart I drew up showed that at 10:50 am when she left the coffee shop, she went some distance with a male friend. She had possibly run into him in the shop and they stepped outside to talk some more, or perhaps she gave him a ride? Her time with this person extended beyond the 10:50 time at which she was seen leaving. A third person, whom I believe was the stalker, the attacker, entered or exited the coffee shop around this time. I believe he was watching her because the chart also shows that while she was at the Coffee shop, this person drove by or parked outside and saw her then. He may have come in a car or maybe walked if he lived in the neighborhood. He was from around that area. He might have been stalking her or looking for her. Irina spoke to a man and woman in the coffee shop, perhaps a couple or just two of her friends. He watched this from somewhere nearby.
The chart also shows the Sun and Moon are both conjoined and disposed by Venus, meaning they have a mutual female friend. She knew this guy, through a friend. This female friend may have also been foreign or from another country. Venus in the ninth.. an exchange student or temporary student visa? So this person knew her before he saw her this morning and she was likely the reason he was there.
Seventh house Aquarius ruled by Uranus in eighth, disposed by Neptune, in the seventh. His one and only purpose this day was to kill her.
By 11:20 am, she has left the company of the man she was talking to. She has parted ways and has moved on. She is out in public, easily seen by other people. This may be a part of that elapse of time where she visited the Goodwill store. Mars is closing on the Ascendant so she is near to confrontation with her attacker. He is in her second house, so I believe he may have been hiding in her car when she got in either at the Coffee Shop or later, at the Goodwill store. Again, Saturn is disposed by Mercury in the eleventh, so this is someone she knew and thought was a friend. Not necessarily a close friend, but in a circle of her acquaintances.
At 11:45 am, Mars slips into the twelfth house and Saturn is hiding in the second. I think he comes at her from the back seat. His ruler, Uranus, is in the ninth house, so he may also be an immigrant, a foreigner or foreign exchange student. He may have also been from the Ukraine. His circumstances may be unusual and perhaps he is even a refugee or may have escaped from an oppressive or undemocratic country.
Uranus in the eighth is in mutual reception with Neptune in the seventh, so he might have been propelled by drugs or alcohol. He might have blown his imagination up into something wild and that drove him to do this. He might even have imagined her to be someone else.. or she might have reminded him of someone from his past. Perhaps a lost girlfriend or wife. The North Node is conjoined to Neptune, so the whole event has a "karmic" feel. As if he felt this was his "destiny".
The time is tight and swift. He sneaks up on her around noon and she is dead by 12:30. She may have been driving the car but she could not have been after this time. He must have driven the car during the crash-- or he killed her and pushed the car down the road.
The chart I drew up for a half an hour later showed Saturn in the first and she was already dead. She was dead before they got to the embankment where she was found. The car played absolutely no role in this, neither did her money. This was personal and had nothing to do with robbery.
And again, I see Saturn slipping into the first with Mars still in the twelfth at just around 12:20 pm. Mercury, which disposes Saturn, has backed into the tenth house. He strangles her from behind in the car, right there, in public. I doubt if she was driving. He probably forced her off the road. However, Scorpio and Taurus are at the angles, with Pluto in the fifth and Venus in the tenth. I think he offered her a choice. He may have tried to force her to have sex with him. There may be sexual evidence at the scene.
Saturn disposed by Mercury, she was strangled or suffocated. Smothered to death. It is likely she was smothered.
Earlier in the day, Saturn in the second house, disposed by Mercury in the eleventh, shows that the attacker spent the morning thinking about his long lost loves, his ex wife or girlfriend. He felt towards her, perhaps, like a possession and that this woman "belonged to him". He may have been reminiscing about gifts her gave her, alimony he has paid, money she took from him and he resents this. He also shares a friend with Irina and perhaps this provides a link to how he chose her.
Note also that the seventh house ruler, Uranus, is consistently in the eighth house. He wants to rape her? He has sexual desire for her? He feels a karmic link with her, like they are "meant to be"? Also, Mars in the twelfth is disposed by the Moon in the tenth, lined up with the Sun. He shadows her, follows her all morning, with the intent of attacking her, forcing her or killing her. Perhaps the delusion I keep seeing and the sexual energy cause him to think of her as the woman he is so angry at and by forcing himself on Irina, he establishes some dominance. I'm not a psychologist but I watch a lot of Dr. Phil! (LOL).
Or perhaps this is just a hate crime. Or the revenge of a jilted lover. Here I am just guessing. It's like shooting in the dark. Only those with the opportunity to interview friends and family and trace her history can answer those questions. Hopefully, they find this girls killer. There is always a chance that this is the work of a serial killer, as of yet undiscovered. There have been numerous murders on the campuses in NC and there might be a tie between a few of them.
And this is where I try to give a description of her killer. I already said I thought he was a foreigner, an immigrant, like Irina. Uranus, his ruler, is in Pisces and this describes a man of average height with a large, well made body. Not fat, necessarily, just large muscled and boned. He is not an athletic type. He is likely pale in complexion with lots of thick or curly dark brown hair. He has a high, broad forehead that gives him a thoughtful countenance. His eyes are likely dark grey and very expressive. He expresses his emotions openly and tends to be sentimental. But he can also be very critical, malicious and rebellious. A tendency towards adventure creates many strange experiences in his life. He tends to brood and hold grudges. And he has an active imagination which can border on delusional fantasy. Irina may have been a part of those fantasies. And she may have not been the only one.
This case is a tough one. I did not want to do it at first because the time lines were sketchy, the evidence was pointing at the parents, there was still evidence surfacing and the police had made big mistakes in the investigation. All of this conspires to make it a hard read. Thanks to an interested reader, who had collected lots of details and Internet sites for me to see and use in my efforts, I decided to give it a shot. I have gone over the public information on the BBC and the British papers, where they have followed this event closely. This beautiful little girl just disappears in a foreign country under suspicious circumstances. The entire order of events are strange, the parents behavior is questionable, the police appear to be bumbling along and the entire world is focused and frenzied.
Trying not to make judgments or jump to conclusions, I want to draw up a objective chart and analyze it with an open mind. I admit, this is hard to do. The slant of everything I read made it seem like mom and pop had done it. Just like Stacey Peterson, I want to do a fair reading but I hate to go against conventional wisdom. Like the OJ Simpson case, where the jury found him not guilty, the world is of the conventional wisdom that he is. And I would never be one to discount the value of human intuition. After all, what I do here, is to a great degree intuition, although I prefer to think of the gist of it as science.
So it is with this brave stab at fairness that I went about collecting time lines and casting charts. And, boy oh boy, did things come clear FAST. In my findings, it became quickly my belief that you can just toss out the time lines as given because the charts tell a very different story, indeed. And in the charts, as they come into focus, no one has been telling the truth and I personally don't know why. This includes friends who were there with the Mc Canns at that resort on that fateful evening. They have to be lying. And that bothers me. Why on earth would these people, having nothing to do with it presumably, tell tall tales? Is it because they are ashamed to admit they suspect these people? Or is it because they don't want suspicion cast upon them, as well? Or is it just human nature to defend those around us? It is your guess. Someone with a degree in Psychology may be able to answer this question better than this Astrologer.
I usually avoid really high profile cases that have fallen into controversy. In this case, most everybody has come to the conclusion that her husband, Drew, was responsible for her disappearance and probable murder. And, in this regard, I am not one to differ with conventional wisdom, unless the chart shows something different. But I was reluctant to do a chart, mostly because of the shifting time lines, and the probability that Drew is lying about the time line to begin with. He was the last to see her alive. Are the times he reports for these events to be trusted? So, you can see why I was reluctant to put a card on the table.
However, I do have some time lines reported by other people from which to start. Her sister last spoke to her at 10 am, so this was a valid point from which to begin charts. Drew claims he last saw her at 11:00 am, which was an hour after her sister spoke to her. As if we are to believe that she talked to her sister, told her nothing about leaving her husband, then quietly packed in less than an hour, on a whim, and just left. This is a stretch even for the most liberal want to be believers. However, a chart done for that time, as I will show you, has Stacey still alive.
But not for long! As the stars move backward across the progressions, the dial flips and puts her ruler in the twelfth house of death with Pluto at the Ascendant. All within a half an hour. And it is that exact moment in time, the moment when she crosses over from being here and being there, that also defines who was present when that event occurred. The chart will define this person pretty well, as I shall show you. But, first of all, you have to remember that this is just my psychic interpretation of what happened and that I have no clues, no fingerprints, no DNA, nothing that will hold up in a court of law. All I can do is point and direct. And perhaps the charts will show me where she is now, allowing me to really point and shout... go find her! When Drew Says He Last Saw Her
Starting with the time at which her sister claims to have last spoken to Stacey, which is at 10 am, I draw up a chart and see that Stacey is alive and well and no violence has occurred this day yet. Sagittarius is rising, Gemini is falling and Virgo is on the Midheaven. Jupiter is at the Ascendant, in Sagittarius, double emphasizing Stacey in her place. She is where she usually is. Pluto is in the first house in Sagittarius, close to Jupiter, which tends to say that she was a little irked or feeling a bit argumentative over something.
The chart co-ruler, the Moon, is placed at the Descendant, in the sign Gemini. Internally, she was analyzing how she felt about her marriage. There was some contention between her and her partner. The descendant ruler, Mercury, was placed in Libra in the eleventh house, meaning that he is overly engaged in friendships, partnerships and business alliances. He allows other people to influence their marriage and this irks her. There is also a possibility that she believed he was cheating. Libra tends to be flighty but quick to get attached, jumping from one love affair to another. Her partner, according to this chart, tending to be a flirt and like the attentions of the opposite sex.
Lana Stansbury was a young woman when she was found dead in an apartment in Orlando. The police have released very little information because they have no suspects or clues even now. This is truly a mystery murder with no cause to suspect, no persons of interest, no fingerprints. They only say she was murdered and do not give the method. I have no more information than this.
I do know that she was discovered at 11:40 am on February 13, 2004. It isn't said if she was shot, stabbed, strangled or whatnot. Whether she had a roommate, or even whether she actually lived at this location. The chart will reveal a lot, I'm sure, and I'm glad I don't have any other information to change the way I view it.
Drawing up the chart for 11:40 am, the time at which she was discovered, I find the following positions and aspects:
Taurus is rising and Venus is in Aries in the eleventh. Scorpio is falling and Pluto is in Sagittarius in the twelfth. Co-ruler Mars is in Taurus, in the twelfth house, conjoined the North Node. Aquarius is on the tenth house cusp and Uranus is in Pisces in the tenth. Uranus is in mutual reception with Neptune in Aquarius, also in the tenth house. Leo is on the nadir and the Sun is also in the tenth, in the sign Aquarius, positioned between Neptune and Uranus. Interesting line up. This is what it tells me:
Either a friend came calling or a roommate came home because it was a girlfriend (Venus in Taurus in the eleventh) that discovered her and called the cops. Mars in the twelfth conjoined the North Node says it was a stark scene, a dead body in bad shape, obviously the victim of violence. This is highlighted by the exact sextile from Mars to Saturn (death) in the second house (the victims property). I believe she lived in this apartment, either alone or with roommate(s). She was definitely among "her things".
The perpetrator or killer is signifed by Pluto in the eighth and Mars in the twelfth. These houses indicate death and violence. Pluto is typically a violent planet under the right aspects. Mars is an "igniter". Pluto in the eighth also says sex to me, so there is a probability that this circumstance involved sex, consensual or otherwise. This killer came there for sex, either to rape her or because she invited him (or her?). Knowing nothing about the victim leaves this question unanswered.
But I can guess! And remember, this ONLY A GUESS, not a proven fact. But because the Moon co rules the chart and it is placed in Scorpio, right on the descendant, I would say that the victim participated in the sex. In other words, it was consensual. With this information in hand, the cops might want to look at friends, ex lovers, ex husbands, boyfriends, even casual acquaintances. Of course, knowing more about the victim would help here. Did she pick up strangers and bring them home? Some women do. Or was there a "booty buddy" that perhaps her roommate or friends knew about?
I am doing a reprise on my original chart and analysis of this case. Normally I would just do what I could with a chart and leave it alone but this one keeps surfacing with more information and more precise data that I originally found. In light of new information, which changes the time of her disappearance radically, I must redo this chart to be fair. The original information I had read was that she was reported missing on January 24th when she didn't show up for work. It was said that she had promised to mail a cellphone for someone and it was hinted at that her last known destination was to do this. However, new information clarifies this substantially. The new information has Jennifer calling her boyfriend at 10 pm on the evening of January 23rd. It is from that point on that she has not been seen. There is no assumption that she was on her way to work or even to the post office that morning. In fact, she may have disappeared any time after 10 pm.
Since her last communication was with her boyfriend at 9:56 pm on Jan 23rd, I worked on charts that extended out after that time until I found the events as they occurred. At ten when she made that last phone call, the chart shows that she was having fun somewhere. This can mean she was with friends, having drinks after work, eating out, at a friends house socializing, but she was out of the house, having fun and enjoying herself. The chart shows her signifigator in the fifth house, accompanied by two other significant planets. These planets, Neptune and the Sun indicate the presence of the two people who played a part in her disappearance. Somehow, somewhere nearby they were watching, if they weren't actually among people she was with. Not knowing exactly what she was doing, it's impossible for me to say. But because Mercury also rules the midheaven, as well as the ascendant, I would venture to guess that she was out in public and not a private event. This means they may have been among a crowd at a bar or restaurant, noticing her.
Here's a thought. All three planets, theirs and hers, make aspect to Saturn in the eleventh house, which seems to indicate that these men had a mutual friend with her, that all three of them knew an older person who was somehow a factor in all of them being where they were at that time. Perhaps this was a boss from work or the owner of the establishment or a neighbor? It's hard to say. However, there a few guesses I could risk. The Sun is disposited by Saturn, so perhaps one of these men was a relative or close friend of this older adult? Perhaps they were even brothers? Or, on the other, hand, they may have been employees. They may have been working in the bar or restaurant at the time. Your guess, at this point, is as good as mine!
Forensic Astrology is the art of using charts to determine the nature of events as they occurred in unsolved crimes and missing persons cases. The method I use is uniquely mine as I have over 35 years experience in Astrology, both Forensic and in general.
