And she has the house, vehicle, etc. in her name to make sure the groom comes through.

Sure, Michael would have to go through with the wedding or get left in the cold, but why would Jodi? Seems to me she could start singing like a canary, make herself the hero ("I would have come forward sooner, but was afraid of what that horrible man would do to my parents", etc.) and pocket Michael's "gifts" to her. Seems like a beautiful situation for her to me.

Makes ya wanna go out and hire a supersleuth detective (Colombo! lol) to find out if MS is doing to Jodi what he did to Terri (and as per a never published letter to the Tampa Newspaper-but printed here on FR without a last name, withheld out of respect, reported that MS had yet another child, now a teenager with someone before Jode but after marriage to Terri). Would be interesting to see if MS has held to his MO and see if he has other 'women' right now. That might make Jodi shout what she knows from the top of her lungs!
