Who Was the Intended Target? | Forensic Files

Like, has anyone looked at what the motive would be if it were foul play? Like, who is the intended target? We
keep talking about Jennifer cuz she's the one who had time to have a story around her life, but maybe it was the
kids. It's totally possible. And like you said, I mean, the wild part is they're
so young that they would have absolutely no memory of where they came from other
than like what they were told by someone. Like the problem we have here is I don't think anyone has enough
information to say what the motive is because I don't think you can talk motive without knowing what really
happened, right? But I will say I mean there's been some online chatter like one of the things I came across that I
found really interesting is this kind of fringe theory that maybe this serial killer guy named John Robinson could
have something to do with Jennifer's disappearance. So, according to something I read on Investigation
Discovery, John was a serial killer that operated in the Midwest, but specifically the Kansas and Missouri
areas around the time of Jennifer's disappearance. And I mean, listen, I would love to know if John was a patron
of baby dolls, but like everything I found about him online is that like he tried to maintain this facade of this
super upstanding citizen. I mean, he was a Sunday school teacher. Doesn't mean he
didn't, but like doesn't fit the like persona he was trying to put off. But he ultimately got arrested on a
sexual battery complaint in June of 2000. This is just a month after Jennifer and the girls vanished. And
from there, detective discovered human remains on his property.
