Kipling was last seen on his way to school in Merritt Island, Florida on the morning of March 27, 1979. He never arrived for classes that day and has never been heard from again.
I do realize that they consider this case solved. They have accredited this boys disappearance to a serial killer who was in the area at the time. They have also accredited this same serial killer with several other unsolved disappearances involving young boys. They never proved any of it in court and there is no evidence to directly support these claims but it does help the cops close some cold cases. In most of these cases, very little police work was done. This happened in the 1970s and I lived in the area at that time and can tell you it was a sleepy place and the cops spent more time in the doughnut shop then they did chasing dangerous felons. They loved to write traffic tickets and chase pot heads, though. LOL. On two of the cases in question, the cops did not even look for the boys. I am still working on one of the cases privately so this one has some interest for me. If the same person killed both of these boys I should be able to tie together descriptors in both charts. I am hoping to be able to not only do that but to make a strong attempt to locate the body of either of these boys. So I wanted to run charts to see if what I find matches what the cops theorize happened.
To be fair, I want to include information given by the cops that ties this particular serial killer to the Hess case.
"John Rodney McCrae is the one and only suspect in Kipling's case. He met Kipling a few days prior to the child's disappearance, at a church carnival, and later assisted in the search for the missing boy. Several years later, police found a missing persons flier for Kipling taped in McCrae's locker at work". According to witnesses, I might add, McCrae was seen to intervene on some boys who were bullying Kipling. Kipling appears to me to be just the type of boy that would be bullied and also easy to prey upon. Don't ask me why I say that. Just a feeling.
Anyways, John McCrae died in prison so whether or not he did this is no longer a matter, except that if he didn't do it then somebody else got away with taking this boy. Whether the boy is dead or alive today is also an unknown. I would like to see if things match up in the charts. If they do, then this is more proof that Astrology does work, even though this is in reverse, it is proof that it should work in forward. I never blame the charts for the lack of evidence in any case; I blame the human reader, who is working with a seriously clouded vision.
My first problem with this case was the screwy time data. They report that the boy was off to school at the time he disappeared but then they give 19:10 military time as the time. I don't know if they're dumb or just asleep but 19:10 is 7:10 IN THE EVENING. The morning time would be 7:10. Midnight is always zero. So I took a leap of faith and assumed they meant 7:10 am and not that the boy was taking evening classes. So I am using that time in this first chart. And looking at it, I right away notice that the first house ruler is conjoined the Moon in the twelfth. This indicates a secret of some sort. Something private that is shared, perhaps. So perhaps Kipling when off to school that morning with a secret plan of his own, such as meeting up with someone no one else knew about? Notice that the seventh house ruler is in the eleventh house. This shows someone this boy knew or wanted to be friends with. Could this be the secret? Plans to meet up with someone he considered a friend but not someone he told his parents about? The weirdest part of this chart is that the Moon and Mars (the chart rulers) are disposed of by Neptune in the eighth house. This implies a secret about sex. I don't know why but I think this 12 year old boy may have been too young to be making plans to have sex with someone? Would the short meeting at the Carnival be enough time for this man to make such a proposition and obtain consent? I am not sure but it seems like a stretch to me. Not saying it's impossible, though. Looking at the tenth house ruler in the fifth sort of blindsides me; this aspect shows sex with an adult male! I say that because the 10th house points at patriarchal figures and most often describes the father in the charts of young boys. I am not going to expound on this any longer except to say that these aspects cannot be ignored.
The next group of aspects I notice seem to support the idea that Kipling had met his abductor in the past. Moon ruling the fourth from the twelfth shows this person had either been to the boys home or neighborhood and they had met and maybe even had a previous rendezvous. When I first saw this I assumed that this involved someone from his family or close circle of friends because of the fourth house connection. But the carnival in question was in the neighborhood, there in his home town, not far from where he lived. I am not sure of exactly where Kipling lived but Merritt Island but the island is a short bike ride or walk around and even shorter car ride, more like a hop, from one end to the other. Therefor the carnival could be said to be in his "neighborhood". So perhaps this is the meeting the chart is referring to. Jupiter in Cancer in the fourth emphasizes family entertainment, a "fun" place. It can also indicate churches in the area and I am thinking this was probably a church carnival. Jupiter rules the ninth house and this also points to churches. We have had many church carnivals in the local area over the years. Moon trine Jupiter leaves no doubt in my mind that Kipling was excited by the carnival and by his new found friend, the man who defended him from bullies. There is emotional excitement in this placement and I am thinking he was more than happy to meet up again with his abductor. These placements clearly support the trip to the carnival and the meeting of a new "friend". And they fully support the police theory that this boy was taken by John McCrae.
The next chart I drew was for a little over an hour after the boy was last seen. We are not aware, at least there are no eyewitness accounts, of when he was abducted or where. We just know he never made it to school. I assumed he walked to school as no mention of a bus was made. This chart, for 8:30 am, clearly shows the boy at the abductors home. The first house ruler, Venus, is in the tenth house (the fourth from the seventh). Notice how the seventh house ruler, Mars, is conjoined with the Moon (the chart co ruler) in the eleventh house. The eleventh house describes many things, from friendships to dreams, on the one hand, but on another, it describes unharmonious relationships, marriages that end in divorce and often unwanted sexual attention. Notice that Mars, the seventh house ruler, is close to the fixed star, Markab, which can describe using or shooting a gun. The Moon is close to the fixed star, Scheat, which can mean death by drowning. Venus in the tenth house also opposes the fixed star, Phecda, which can indicate sex addiction. And then, at the same time, Mars (the seventh house ruler) and the node (in the fifth house) are tied up in a T Square with Neptune in the eighth house. This layout has sexual components that are hard to miss.
Another thing I see here is that Uranus, which is at the seventh house cusp, is trine Mars (the seventh house ruler) and square Venus (the first house ruler). I would think that perhaps this was a blitz attack on the boy, taken by surprise and a sudden turn in events. All planned out by his attacker, of course (node in the fifth) and ending up in a sexual assault, or so it would seem. Pluto, the seventh house co-ruler, is disposed of by the first house ruler, Venus, which tells me that this person targeted the boy. His whole purpose in this event was to get the boy alone.
The charts for the next few hours all show the same slow development with a stellium in the eleventh house, Pluto in the fifth and Neptune moving through the seventh house. This was a ruse, no doubt. Perhaps he invited the boy over to meet other kids, to play games, to look at videos? The fifth house could be any form of entertainment, including sex play. Perhaps the videos were porn movies? Neptune in the seventh means he misled the boy in some manner, most likely about who he really was and what he really wanted. at 9:30 am, Mercury becomes the first house ruler. Mercury is the natural ruler of children and, in this chart, also rules the fifth, a house that is attributed to children and children's activities. I don't know about Kipling's interest but if there was a sport he was enthusiastic about, this could have been part of the lure.
In the chart for 10:30 am, the stellium moves into the tenth house, emphasizing the fact that this boy is in this man's home. Perhaps they have moved into the living area of the home (tenth house) or around a swimming pool (Pisces). This appears to be a brick and mortar house. Now, my question would be, if the charts are correct here, did this McCrae person live in a home in the Merritt Island area? It is known that he worked at the local prison, which is in a town many miles north of the island. The charts do not appear to show anyone in a car or going for a drive. But I must assume a car was involved because of the way he disappeared. They would have been seen walking together if they had, indeed, walked to the home. Yet, it is the chart for 8:30 am, an hour later, that shows him in the home. And an hours drive is quite within the distance I am familiar with from the island to the area where the prison is located. Would Kipling have gone along for a drive so far from home with a stranger (or newly made acquaintance)? If so, there must have been tremendous motivation.
Going back to the chart for 7:10 am, when he was last seen before he went missing, I want to point out a few more things. The first chart is always the most revealing in these cases. Notice how the first house ruler, Mars, is conjoined to the Moon in the twelfth. This shows someone disappearing into hiding, being stashed away somewhere, perhaps restrained and/or confined. Also note that Mercury, the universal marker for children, is under the Sun's beams. This always shows grave danger. The north node is in the sixth house, disposed of by Mercury. The tenth house ruler, Saturn, is in the fifth house, also disposed of by Mercury, and retrograde in motion. Neptune is in the eighth house. I believe there is a direct motivation and purpose in this abduction, mostly to kidnap children, have sex with them and then dispose of them where they will never be found (node in the sixth). The conjunction of the Moon with Markab may mean that he forced this boy at gunpoint. This may be why the boy was willing to sit through an hours drive. He knew he was in trouble already. The boy's ruler, Mars, is disposed of by Neptune in the eighth. These planets are also square. This points to the boy either having a secret or having secret knowledge, which he was, perhaps, reluctant to reveal. Or, it may mean that the boy had secret knowledge of exactly what this man wanted and was not willing to participate. The square shows resistance of some sort.
Running the charts forward, I encounter the first death pattern at 3:30 pm. This does not mean he died at 3:30 pm, just that the stars compelled his death at this hour. It may have occurred later in the day or just before the pattern formed. In the chart for 3:30, you can see that the first house ruler is in the eighth, the eighth house ruler is in the fourth, the Moon is in the eighth and the twelfth house ruler is in the eighth. This combined with the Moon in the eighth along with Mercury, the Sun and Mars. Mercury, the Moon and the Sun are all disposed of by Mars, which co rules the fourth. These are all houses of ending, coming to end, dieing and passing over. The fourth house also describes coffins and burial sites and the tenth house shows their location. The Moon has left it's conjunction with Markab so I do not believe that Kipling was shot. He was probably forced along with a gun but he was not shot. Saturn in the first is rising to the twelfth and shows the body becoming bones. It is in the sign Virgo. It is disposed of by Mercury in Aries in the eighth. The Moon is also in Aries. Mercury in Aries is a marker for where his body ended up but it is retrograde so it would be many years before it was found. There are no markers indicating the body will never be found. The sixth house markers earlier in the day indicate that the purpose was to make sure he wasn't found and this has been a stumbling block for many decades. But none of the rulers indicating the boy or the body are in the sixth house. So it is possible to find him, just that it would not be done for a very long time.
Since the seventh house ruler is Jupiter and it is in the third house, I say he took the body in a car from his home to the place where he dumped it. Neptune in Sagittarius is in the fourth house, so this describes the grave or disposal site. Venus in Aquarius rules the tenth so this shows the area where that happened. Saturn is close to the node so it is possible that this burial place was familiar to the murderer, a place where he had either visited before or had dumped other bodies there. This place would be described by Venus in Aquarius and Mercury in Aries. This would be someplace recently dug up or under construction (Aries), near a highway or other major thoroughfare (Mercury), involve a garden of some sort (Venus) and airplanes or other flight systems (Aquarius). The place on Merritt Island that best fits this description is the Rocket Garden at Kennedy Space Center. Back at this time in our history, the whole place was under construction of one sort or another. I am doubtful that the abductor had access to the center directly but that complex is surrounded by woods and swamps and a protected area known as the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge. Neptune in Sagittarius may reflect an outdoor area that is hidden, dark or hard to access. This describes a large portion of the refuge and the surrounding scrub. There is water in that area filled with gators and snapping turtles (Mars in Pisces).
Considering that Venus, the tenth house ruler, is at the descendant and that Mars co rules the fourth house with Pluto, I would say that the place he was killed AND the place he was buried would be very near to where this man lived at the time. Since he worked at the prison, which is very close to the Space Center, and is in a town called Sharpes, not far from the area where many NASA engineers bought homes. That area is very closely proximate along a very large highway system that actually runs up most of the state (US Highway 1). All of this fits the profile so I am ready to say that this boy was buried somewhere in the refuge or any nearby outdoor area where the Rocket Garden would be visible. His abductor could access much of the external area there by car but would have to get out on foot to move farther into the swamps. It is my opinion that the boy was likely buried in a swamp (Aquarius, Pisces and Aries). If the grave was shallow, most of his body may have been scattered by alligators but some of the bones may be located in the swamps. But if the grave was deep, then his skeleton may be in tact. He could have been buried close to the road there because the traffic is sparse and moves by really quickly. Back then, it would have been even more desolate. If he did it at dusk, no one may have seen him digging. But I am not sure how unusual that would seem back then when so much of the area was under construction.
Anyways, I do think the charts support the idea that he was abducted and murdered by the man he met at the church carnival. This means that John McCrae did kill Kipling even though he denied it to the end. And it creates a possibility that he did, as well, murder the other boys he also denies killing. I will be working on those charts to try to draw comparisons in those cases and determine if the charts support the idea. This sort of study helps to determine if Astrology can match the facts in known outcomes. If it does, this supports the assumption that it should be able to do the same in advance.
Lori Boffman was last seen on August 5, 2006, at 6:30 p.m., when she left her home and took a drive in her vehicle. She did not take her purse or identification with her. Additionally, Lori was taking medication for diabetes. Her vehicle was found the next morning at 5:30 a.m. in the next town over from her home. She resided in Liberty Township, Ohio, and the vehicle was found in Youngstown, Ohio. The vehicle appeared to have been in an accident and was abandoned. Lori Boffman has not been seen or heard from since this incident.
Lori Boffman wears her hair in dread locks. She wears glasses and has a scar on her abdomen. She may also go by the name of Lori Ann Stubbs.
GRACE: Every day, 2,300 people go missing in America, disappear, vanish. Their families left waiting, wondering, hoping, but never forgetting, and neither have we. Fifty people, 50 days, 50 nights we go live, spotlighting America`s missing, boys, girls, mothers, fathers, grandparents. They are gone, but where?
Tonight, to the heartland, Liberty, Ohio, a beloved mother of three, Lori Boffman, heads out in her car, August 2006, leaving behind her purse, her I.D., and diabetes meds. She`s never seen again. The car, a 1992 blue Mercury Sable, found the very next day near a library one town over, apparently, part of a fender better, but mysteriously, the key still in the car.
The ignition, the engine, still running. Also, adding to the mystery, family says Lori had just won the lottery the night before she goes missing. Her children still waiting for mommy to come home. Tonight, where is Lori? Jean, what happened.
JEAN CASAREZ, LEGAL CORRESPONDENT, "IN SESSION": You know, Nancy, it was a good day. It was February 5th, August 5th, 2006, and it was a day of a picnic, and she just won over $1,000 in the lottery. Her daughter was home from college. She was getting groceries to take to the picnic. She had the picnic with her family and her friends. I want to go to Phil Trexler, reporter for the Akron Beacon Journal joining us tonight from Ohio. Phil, who was the last person that we know saw her alive?
VOICE OF PHIL TREXLER, REPORTER, AKRON BEACON JOURNAL: Well, you know, the details were kind of sketchy there. Obviously, she was with her family there at the picnic. There was this companion that they spoke of who drove with her to take the food back to her home. That appears to be the last person. Now, there were some sightings in the days after she was reported missing. None of those have been confirmed.
That`s a common problem or phenomenon, so to speak, with missing person cases. That there are a lot of sightings, but very few of them prove to be founded. So, it`s a little sketchy as to who was the last person with her. Obviously, her family, when she left the barbecue, the picnic, and then, the man who was supposedly with her that night, but again, it`s a mystery.
CASAREZ: All right. To Natisha Lance, NANCY GRACE producer, first of all, do we know who that man is that was last seen with her?
NATISHA LANCE, NANCY GRACE PRODUCER: We don`t. We don`t know who that man is, and we also don`t know who the man is who was with her at the grocery store. Police have yet to identify that man as well, too.
CASAREZ: All right. Natisha, she was last seen August 5th, 2006. When was she reported missing?
LANCE: She was reported missing on August 7th. Now, what her family says is that her children went on August 6th to Youngstown Police Department to try to report her missing there. They were told, according to the family, that they should wait a little bit longer, and also, that they would have to report her missing in the town that she lived in, which is Liberty. Then, on August 7th is when her niece went to Liberty Police Department and made the report to file her missing at that point.
CASAREZ: And with us tonight is Chief Richard Tisone, who is joining us from the Liberty Police Department. Chief, thank you, once again, for joining us. She had won, you said, about $1,000 in the lottery. What I want to know, when her apartment was searched and her purse was found in the apartment, was that $1,000 there?
VOICE OF CHIEF RICH TISONE, LIBERTY POLICE DEPARTMENT: No. We did not find any substantial amount of money. There were no signs of any foul play in the apartment. There was no forced entry, and basically, the one daughter had been living there. So, there was nothing of any evidentiary value that we found there.
CASAREZ: Did you find through any bank accounts at all that that money had been deposited?
TISONE: No, we did not.
CASAREZ: You did not. So, that`s a missing element right there, the money she`d won from the lottery.
TISONE: Quite possibly, yes.
CASAREZ: All right. To Patricia Saunders, clinical psychologist, joining us from New York. Dr. Saunders, the thing that just -- I can`t get out of my mind is this car with the engine running and the car door open and her glasses are still in there. Two pairs of glasses are still in there. I mean, that tells me that somebody had to get out fast.
PATRICIA SAUNDERS, CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST: Very fast. I think this might be a mixture of medical psychiatric vulnerability and that someone took advantage of her, some predatory person. It was said that she had a chemical imbalance and diabetes. Sometimes, chemical imbalance is a euphemism for bipolar disorder, Jean, or what used to be called manic- depressive illness, spending $500 for food and crying to her kids that she had no one to take care of anymore at the picnic suggest that she might have had truly unstable moods.
Whether that was secondary to the diabetes, which is possible, or the diabetes was secondary to psychiatric medications, I don`t know, but this was someone who I think made a profound decision based on her instability to leave her life, and somebody may have helped her leave her life and exploited her.
CASAREZ: And the question is, could she still be alive if she decided to leave her life there in Youngstown, Ohio? Or is she the victim of foul play? Everybody, Lori Ann Boffman, 45 years old when she went missing in 2006, 5 feet 9, 180 pounds, black hair and brown eyes, and she wears glasses, and she had a scar on her abdomen. May go by the name of Lori Ann Stubs.
This case is a true mystery with some really weird circumstances. It was hard for me to resist even when the charts proved to be difficult. It took me many weeks of study to get a viable analysis from them and I am still not sure of some of the circumstances surrounding this case. But there are standout aspects in the chart drawn for when she was last seen and when you look at the chart for 6:30 pm, the time at which Lori left the bbq, you can see right away that the charts show her to be in grave danger. First and foremost is the placement of the first house ruler, Saturn, just under the Sun's beams in the seventh house. This is a definitive marker for danger and usually from the person defined by the house placement. We do see several planets in the seventh house, the first house ruler, Saturn, with the Sun, Mercury and Venus. Venus rules her fourth house so this is showing us her family members, females with children (Venus conjoined Mercury). These people were probably the witnesses that gave the report that she left the bbq with an unidentified man. Notice that Cancer is the sign on the seventh house cusp. This is a placement that tells us that she is, indeed, in someone else's company. I say this because the Moon, which rules Cancer, is also the co ruler of the chart and the subject. In this chart, it also rules the seventh house so this tells us that Lori is in the company of another person and they both share the rulership of the Moon. Now, notice that the Moon is in the twelfth house conjoined Pluto. Pluto rules the tenth house. Mars also rules the tenth and it is in the eighth house. The twelfth house and eighth house are both houses that indicate death. The eighth house can also indicate sex. Mars and Pluto both indicate violence. And with the ruler under the Sun's beams, this chart screams danger from many different placements, with possible violence and death.
This chart is what I call a "scary" chart. Another ugly aspect is the sinister conjunction of the Moon and the fixed star, Sinistra. Sinistra often refers to rape or sexual assault and with Mars in the eighth, this is an idea that we have to address. We know that she left with this person in her car and that her car became a focal point in the aftermath of this event so we look at the third house for enlightenment. Notice that Mars rules the third and it is in the eighth, as previously noted. This may indicate the theft of her car. In fact, that dovetails with Pluto and the Moon in the twelfth, which can mean an attack from behind. So it is possible, according to this first chart, that Lori was attacked from behind in her car and her car was then taken from her. So this is a possible car jacking. The conjunction of the Moon and Pluto lead me to believe that there had to have been, at the least, an altercation. There is several reports of her strange behavior prior to the disappearance and that she may have wanted to get away from her life. She had also just won some money in the lottery. It was not a lot, a thousand dollars, I believe, but enough to make her a target. She may have been looking for a good time, with that cash, and hooked up with the wrong people. All of these things are possible. Sickness and medications are shown by the sixth and ninth houses in the chart, although these are not angular houses and are not considered under usual circumstances. The sixth house is used most often to determine whether the victim will ever be found or return home. Mostly this has been used in horary charts for runaway children. In this chart, both the ruler of the sixth and the ninth houses are conjoined in the angular seventh house. This gives these rulers some degree of importance in the chart (as well as the rulership of the angular fourth by Venus). Especially since both of the planets are disposed of by the Moon in the twelfth. I believe this is telling me that she is possibly in bondage to this man (twelfth house Moon ruling the seventh) and this is causing her some worry over her health (Mercury conjoined Venus in Cancer). It may, in fact, create difficulties or even danger for her as time passes (Mercury in Cancer exactly inconjunct to Pluto in Sagittarius).
We have gleaned all that we will obtain from this chart. The gist of the chart seems to be that Lori is in danger.
Now, I am going to leap forward to the day when her car was discovered. I am doing this to bring the two big events in this case together, but I promise I will progress the charts along in the interim to determine the events as they occurred and whether or not Lori is dead or alive and where she might have gone. But I want you to see the chart for the time when her car was found, still running, in the yard of the library with no one in it. Right away, I must note that the first house ruler, the Sun, is in the first house in the sign Leo with Saturn 1 degree away. This conjunction can be either good or bad, depending on the rest of the chart. A first house ruler in the first house is usually a sign that the subject is still alive. But Saturn in the same place is not so good. We will have to wait and see. The chart co ruler, the Moon, is in the sixth house, disposed of by the first house Saturn. This is not good. Moon in Capricorn is in fall, which weakens it's power, and the placement in the sixth is very sad, often meaning that the victim will never be found (as already noted). It's disposal by Saturn in the first is also a possible omen, as Saturn usually describes the bones (or dead body) of the subject. But we have not yet seen a death pattern, so let's keep our thoughts on a better outcome.
The most telling aspect in this chart, I'm afraid, is the seventh house ruler (Uranus) placed in the eighth house. The seventh house ruler in the eighth is always a marker for a criminal, a bad guy. This is almost always a person who lives outside of society, on the edge, so to speak, outside the law. Often described as "dark and sleazy" in many older tomes, I prefer to say that this person has lived a hard life and is jaded; this person refuses to live the boring staid life that society condones. At the same time, Uranus is also often a marker for an unusual person, who does not play by the rules and does things in their own way. This can be good if this person is an artist but when it's in the eighth house, it more describes a dangerous person who has no morals or values. Uranus in Pisces with Neptune in mutual reception from the seventh, more than whispers that this person has a drug problem and/or some degree of mental illness. Lori's marker, the Sun, is almost exactly opposed to Uranus, telling me that she did not care for this person that much but might have a reason to be in his company. At least, until she became a victim. With the ninth house ruler in the seventh and the node also in the ninth, I would say that this person was driving Lori's car and may have carjacked it. At that time, this person considered the car to be his and at his disposal for whatever purpose. The node indicates that this person had a plan to take the car, with or without Lori's permission, I suppose. This validates the police theory that Lori most likely was not driving her own car at the time it was wrecked. The charts appear to support that.
Going back over the period of time that elapsed between the hour that Lori left the bbq and the hour when her car was found, the chart for 9:30 pm is my next and it is very telling. Notice how the first house ruler, Neptune, is in the twelfth. This supports the other charts that indicate she was "in bondage" to this man. He has her hidden somewhere, perhaps restrained in some manner. Neptune is in mutual reception with the twelfth house ruler, which is in the first house. The node is also in the first house. Perhaps Lori had made plans of some sort with her captor and then was surprised by the sudden turn in events. She apparently went along with the plan long enough to end up a captive. The Moon - Pluto conjunction is now in the tenth house, which is usually the home of the other person, which, in this case, is likely the man she left with. Mars is right at the seventh house cusp. When they got to his home, perhaps sometime around 9 pm, then he became violent and controlling, strong arming Lori and restraining her. The tenth house ruler is in the eighth and notice how Mercury, the seventh house ruler, is together with Venus in the fifth house. I believe this tells me that he took her back to his place to have his way with her. He resorted to violence to gain control over the situation and get what he wanted from her. Mars also rules the second house and Venus rules the eighth, so he was after her money as well. It is probable that he stole her winnings, raped her and possibly even killed her. I am still looking for a death pattern to show me her death or for the charts to otherwise show me what came of her at this mercy of this man.
The next chart to stand out to me and also to reflect a big change in events in the chart for 12:30 the next morning. Notice here that the Moon - Pluto conjunction is now in the eighth house. Mars, the current seventh house ruler, is now in the fifth house. This is a standout for sexual assault. The tenth house ruler is in the fourth and since this ruler is Saturn, it is telling us that the home is very old, in disrepair, possibly dirty and has very few amenities. Saturn in fall in the sign Leo says that the house has nothing special or attractive about it. It is what I might call an "ugly" house. The fourth house ruler is the Moon so it is likely that he does not live here year round or that he is only there temporarily. Venus, the first house ruler, in the sign Cancer conjoined Mercury in the third house is a good marker for a house that can be moved, such as a trailer, an RV, a boat, perhaps. I am suddenly pretty sure that he lived on a run down boat and this is where he took her. The boat probably doesn't run or has a broken engine. He has lived in various marinas and moorings in the boat, never staying anywhere long. He is a hard man to find. On this night, with all the planets in Pisces, Cancer and Sagittarius, I am sure his invitation to go to his boat seemed exciting and fun to Lori and so she went along.
After progressing the charts through every hour until the hour when her car was found, I am not seeing any death patterns. In fact, the charts are very similar to the ones we have already seen. Nothing much changes. These charts do echo the indicators that she was beaten, assaulted and held captive by a violent man. But I am not seeing any hints in these charts about where Lori may be or what happened to her. Is she dead or alive? Can she be found? The sixth house is telling us that finding her, dead or alive, is highly unlikely. Often this is because the subject does not want to be found but I have seen this in stone cold cases where a body has never been located. But what I want to know is if she is dead or alive. I am hunting for death patterns or indicators that she is on her own. So I end up running charts for the hours after the car was found and I eventually find what I am looking for. In the chart for 6:30 am, you can see the first house ruler, the Sun, rolling back into the twelfth with Saturn on the horizon. Mars is moving towards the first. The Moon and Pluto are in the fifth house, continuing the ongoing indicators that this has a sexual component. Is she being assaulted just for the fun of it or is this a sex slave situation? The Moon in the fifth is disposed of by Saturn at the first house cusp. This could indicate continued confinement or it could indicate a body reduced to bones (such as what occurs when someone dies). The fourth house ruler, Pluto, is also in the fifth and is disposed of by Jupiter in Scorpio in the fourth. This creates a mutual reception between Jupiter and Pluto, which seems to indicate the crazy notion that she is being restrained and sexually exploited. This pattern looks to me that she is being held as a sex servant, having sex for money. The co ruler of the fourth, Mars, is in her second house of money. The node is in the eighth house, another indicator that money is involved. Uranus, the seventh house ruler, is still in the eighth, telling us that she is definitely in the company of dangerous criminals.
I think the next chart gives us a viable death pattern. Notice that the first house ruler, the Sun, has moved into the twelfth, along with Saturn. This is an omen that she has "passed" and is now reduced to bones. Pluto, the fourth house ruler, has moved into the fourth, the resting place. The co ruler of the fourth house, Mars, is now in the first. I cannot be sure from these markers that she died exactly at this hour but that violence and abuse (Pluto, Saturn and Mars) damage her enough to bring her to the brink of death and possibly beyond. And perhaps when the Moon enters the fourth house, within the coming hour, that will be the coup de gras. We know she had health issues and was fragile in many ways. Saturn, the sixth house ruler at this hour, shows us a long standing health issue that played into her weakness and vulnerability. Moon in fall in Capricorn in the fifth house continues to describe a violent situation involving sexual exploitation. I am not convinced enough to say for sure if she is dead or alive. The pointers do indicate death but they are not strong. She could have nearly died or otherwise come very close and still be alive. It is just impossible for me to tell.
But I am pretty sure that what we see in these charts is a violent kidnapping and car jacking, a beating and a sexual assault that very likely brought about Lori's death. I do not believe, looking at these charts, that this young woman could have survived this. There is a slim possibility that she survived being held in confinement and used for sex and is possibly in slavery still today but if so, she is probably addicted to drugs. Neptune in the sixth house implies that she was drugged heavily to make her more compliant. But where is she? If she is alive, where can she be found? And if she is dead, where would be body be located? Do not forget that the charts are telling us she will never be found and this is born out by the aspects indicating her current location. Lori is north east of where her car was discovered. This is either where she was kept that night or it could be where her body was buried if she is, in fact, deceased. If she is alive she is being kept in an inaccessible place that is almost impossible to get to. And if she is dead and buried, then her body would be in the deepest, darkest, heavy forested area in the local area. Think of a deep woods area where sportsman hunt and the animals are larger than they are in other areas. Her body may be near a feral cat colony. Wild cats of all sizes may roam in this area. Are there local wildcats like panthers or cougars? Look in those areas where they hunt to find her body.
If Lori is still alive, she is most likely in the sex trade. She would be working in porn most likely, being photographed. She could be a prostitute as well, but she would be working in areas where she would be working in the business district or in an area with government buildings. She may also work an area along a strip of entertainment venues. The local theater district is a possibility. I do not see any indicator in these charts that she was taken to another part of the country. The third house in some of the charts do indicate that she was relocated from that house to another place but I believe if she is still alive she in the same area.
The man who kidnapped and carjacked Lori is described by Uranus in Pisces. He is addicted to drugs and is living a criminal lifestyle. He is an outlaw who makes up his own rules. He is unpredictable, violent and dangerous. In his personal life, he has an interest in the occult and supernatural. He may have used drugs to facilitate his investigation of paranormal things. He has a vivid imagination and can be paranoid at times. He also has a malicious turn of mind at times and can be mean. He can be verbally abusive. He is extremely critical of others and sees them as being beneath him. He has inflated ideas about his own ingenuity and intelligence. This man is extremely adventurous and has lived a peculiar, unusual life. He lacks fear in many situations and is often convinced he is right even when facing destruction. He can be unrealistic and views his own actions through rose colored glasses, always believing himself to be an innocent victim. He has sociopathic tendencies. He takes advantage of others for his own purposes and believes himself to be more deserving than his victims.
