Missing 411: JF's potato / Élora Patoine / Mamma JF

So, this is what I understood from watching the streams and reading what the media has to say:

03 Oct 23 - Royal Canadian Mounted Police disclosed on their site a missing posting about JF's potato (Link / Archive).

At least, from what I know, this is the most "trusted" source of information we have. The rest is based on JF's statements.
From what information they made public, we can say that her last sighting was on June 17 2023 at Borden - Carleton. And that the missing report was only made on the week of Oct 03 2023.
On October 6, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Prince Edward Island published on their facebook page (Link/ Archive), a update stating that she was seen again at June 19 at Albert Street in Moncton.

04 Oct 23 - JF makes his public statement on Twitter/X and launches a stream about it.
Momma JF has gone missing. JF claims he had no Involvement in her disappearance. I hope she's ok.

The stream can be seen at Odysee / Archived at this post. This is my highlight of what I considered the most important information on the stream:
If we are to believe him:
  • He has been speaking with Feds before this video for a "couple of days" (4-5 days before Oct 4th)
  • For some reason, she wanted to go away. She had some kind of plan and brought "camping materials". He understood it as some kind of "survivalist trip". She initially promised that would not disappear
  • He has "electronic traces" of him dropping her alive at a gas station on June.
  • The first 2 days he was allegedly speaking to her, but on the second day, she decided to go "off the grid" - and changed her cell phone.
  • According to him, she went without credit cards (I don't know how she changed phone without her credit card, though)
  • It was not JF who called the police about her disappearance, nor were her close family. Apparently, if we are to believe him, she has a history of traveling "off grid" Hitchhiker/ Hippy style.
  • In October someone allegedly not in her close family contacted the police about her disappearance.
  • He characterizes Potato Wife as a past "homeless druggie", and he extracted her from that "miserable" lifestyle. But apparently, she wanted this lifestyle back.
06 Oct 23 - JF is interviewed on The Crucible Youtube Channel (Link). On this stream, he details more some of the dates. I made my highlights of the stream bellow:
  • She's been preparing for "many years" for this trip. He specifies that for some years she had been wanting to go away. He conjectures that what she wanted to do with him was already done.
  • In 2021, she did a "test run" of the trip with a hitchhike between his place and Quebec. He says that she had travelled around the world with this hippie yolo lifestyle, sometimes even without documents.
  • In May 2023 she was already buying camping materials.
  • At June 17 happened the first drive, when JF left her at a gas station close to a bridge.
  • He cleaned his house after she left because his autistic tendencies couldn't bear the disorganized mess that she made at his home.
  • He had informed her family about the trip since June 17.
  • From his estimation, she is heading west (towards where her family lives)
  • On the second day she dropped off her phone (June 19). It was the day when JF autistically had his last good byes by asking her if she had any evil intentions doing so. Coincidentally it was also the date when she was last sighted in Moncton (~2h afar from where he lives), only carrying a school bag.
  • He characterizes her on the video as some kind of retarded free-spirited low-focused hippy savant. She had the intention of going on a crazy trip for some time, without much consideration on sharing with him the information about those trips.
  • They are actually not formally married. But he has the intention of forming a monogamous family unit with her, after some STD tests / pregnancy test if she ever comes back.
  • Some "family member" said to him that she had a previous history of disappearing on these hippy trips without giving any signal for months.
  • Most of the video is a psycho autistic rambling, that shows little emotional intelligence while advertising his own book.

MY PERSONAL CONCLUSION - If we are to believe that the last sighting of Potato Wife on June 19th is accurate, I think it's hard to also believe that JF really killed his wife.
He leaving her at the gas station at June 17th is a very easy fact for the police to verify, so it is improbable that he'll be lying about that.
I reckon that's very improbable that after June 19th he traveled to Mocton just to kill her.
What I think is happening is that an autistic sociopathic man has a strange relationship with an equally eccentric woman who went on a crazy voyage, and that translates as him seeming very guilty of something awful.

clearly not enough time to fabricate a convincing story or study up on police interrogation tactics
There was a japanese case where the guy disposed his victim piece by piece not leaving anything behind just under a week. He was a suspect and police was watching his apartment. Then the retard folded immediately when they pressured him just a bit.

oh yea, they’ve already played friendly with him to get info for a bit and according to him they haven’t contacted him in a few days. his next talk with the police will be in an interrogation room and he will regret all of his “the police have been so respectful and nice” statements
 
If that's true, why would he make the claim publicly when the interview is going to find its way to the police? They'll have already spoken with the parents and know he's lying about crucial details, effectively incriminating himself.
He didn’t claim they were fine with her leaving her infant and small child, he won’t even acknowledge the kids exist. Elora’s pregnancy was a “family project” and her her participation in the project was completed.

I’d bet JF has little to no contact with Elora’s family. Given what we do know I’d expect she wasn’t allowed much communication or unmonitored interaction with her parents. It was stated a concerned citizen reported her missing, so that means her family wasn’t alarmed by not hearing from their daughter for four months!?!

I’d bet her family was happy with the idea Elora was leaving this creepy autistic weirdo, but not with the “abandoned at gas station to live as survivalist” or “left without her still nursing infant”.

The RCMP have probably told her family to play it cool and not antagonize JP, maybe even pretend they don’t think he murdered her if they have any contact.

Or Elora has a trash family and they don’t give a fuck about her or the grandkids. But I’d bet they didn’t report her missing because they have been accustomed to having little to no contact from her. If she went to her parents when she left the last time he would have definitely minimized or forbidden contact and communication with them.

Usually maternal grandparents spend a lot of time with a daughter with two babies. The fact they didn’t immediately report their daughter, who was nursing a newborn and has a toddler, had been dropped off with no money at a gas station to “live a life of adventure” means they had no idea she was missing, she didn’t have regular communication with them and JF had not told them their daughter abandoned her babies and had become a survivalist. (He was probably too busy sterilizing his house and yelling at his mom to put the kids in the cages if she couldn’t keep them quiet tbh.)
 
Wilson of The Crucible is doing a post mortem of last night's stream:

So I finished this stream by Andrew Wilson, the fellow who did a stream with him last night. I think if he were a contributor here participating in this discussion, he would get a fair amount of "disagree" and "dumb" stickers. To summarize, he does not think JF killed Elora, but cannot be sure. He does rightly point that JF asserted:
- he contacted her parents the day of the drop off
- dropped her off in front of security cameras.

He has a valid point that if either were disprovable, law enforcement would have ascertained that and things would be at a much more critical state.

Quite bizarrely, he disputes that Elora is "mentally retarded." I am not sure if that is the precise term I would use (is that even a clinical term anymore?). But he was challenging superchats and callers to provide "proof" that she is "mentally retarded" or "mentally impaired." It may be proof by a preponderance of the evidence, or simply evidence, but her bizarre outburts on past streams, the way she talks (French speakers claim she also sounds slow in her nataive tongue), that JF comically claims she "plays with water" among so many other things about this bizarre woman all belie this. I was dumbfounded no one challenged him on this.

He also stated there is nothing wrong with dropping her off at a gas station. The problem with this theory is that a spouse (I believe even a common law spouse but maybe Canadian common law marriage is different) has a duty of care. So when a spouse fails to properly take care of another, or even does so by omission, that invokes criminal negligence. Even if JF did not kill her at his house, and I think that is safe to assume unless his claim about security footage is disproven, it is a breach of duty of care and even if JF did not kill her and she starves to death or gets raped and killed in some meth den, it is at least arguable that he has committed criminally negligent manslaughter. Maybe the causation in that sort of fact pattern is too tenous.

maybe she really is just kinda dumb and a bit slow in the head, without crossing the threshold into legally certified retardation and disability. no way for any of us to know. not everyone who does dumb shit and talks weird is mentally disabled.
 
He literally self identifies as being autistic, but in the same interview says he doesn't believe in mental health labels. She's totally dead bros.
At the best it was an autist with a retard fetish not realizing that it isn't a good idea to let an adult with the mental capacity of a child go out in the woods to play survivalist, and now she's dead from exposure/starvation/dehydration. He could be on the hook for it and maybe that's why he's being cagey. At worst he killed her, probably in a tard rage, he has that impotent tardrage vibe to him. She also said he was going to kill her so maybe it was her low iq way of trying to out him for abuse. This is all just my speculation of course. This is a fascinating story regardless.

Honestly this is probably what happened. It's just that JF's response to the whole thing makes him sound guilty of far worse.
He always striked me as a sort of cold, calculating man. But not entirely harmful. He really has the emotional capacity of a plastic bag.

He sounds only too happy that he can rearrange his house and keep it clean from the spud who apparently likes playing with water near electric appliances... While she's out slumming it in god knows where doing god knows what.

I just think it's a little suspicious that he apparently cares so little for her wellbeing... At least that's how it seems. He'll agree to dump her at a gas station for her jolly adventure innawoods with naught but a cellphone and act like that's the end of it all. And if she has been gone with absolutely no contact for this amount of time, it sounds really bad.
I don't buy this "She wants to remember what it's like to be human" shit, wanting to go so off grid that she has zero contact with seemingly anyone. Sure, she may have done this sort of thing before, but it's a bit bizarre how there was no apparent lifeline whatsoever. And JF sounds only too chill with the whole thing.

As you pointed out, he shows very little emotional intelligence. He seemed a little rattled by the end of the interview, by the time Null and the Chat started asking some questions. But that's more out of annoyance than any remorse or stress about the entire thing. I think he knows he's in hot water over this, but rather than actually show a bit of worry or, he doubles down on the autism.
Maybe I just don't understand how these people think and act, but to normal people this entire thing just seems wrong.

And that entire tirade about mental health being SOCIETY's definition, and referring to her in the past tense, was he trying to come across as totally fucking guilty of murder? Even if he wasn't, it just makes me believe that he orchestrated this in some way just to be rid of his spud wife. Idk man...

If anything this is one hell of a weird way to call a relationship off.
 
Watching The Crucible last night was bizarre to say the least. JF seems to have that DSP syndrome where his attempts to defend himself makes him seem more guilty. I don't know if he killed his wife, but damn does he make it hard not to think so. I hope potato wife is ok, but I'm having a hard time making that possibility even make sense. She doesn't seem like the type that could fade into obscurity given she is a decent looking woman with an obvious speech impediment (or whatever the fuck it is). Apparently she's Bear Grylls and can leave the house with a little backpack and survive for four months on the road. Whether he killed her or not, I don't think she's alive anymore.

for some reason i keep remembering that scene from that kids movie AI, timestamped
just replace her crying with JFs nervious laughter
 
It’s the perfect crime:

Maplenigger tells his potato to get in the car for a drive. He leaves his phone. He drops the potato off in Saint Elsewhere, Québec, and drives home.

Proceeds to act like a suss retard for months but the Leaf Feds can’t find anything actionable with which to charge him with a crime.

Ouí Ouí
 
He leaving her at the gas station at June 17th is a very easy fact for the police to verify, so it is improbable that he'll be lying about that.
I reckon that's very improbable that after June 19th he traveled to Mocton just to kill her.
While I doubt the “sighting on June 19th” (since afaik it could just be “sure looked like that girl” rando recollection), and we have only JF to trust on the gas station drop off on the 17th thus far, but even if those two pieces of data are true people seem to think she wasn’t capable of going back to JF after he dropped her off?

Maybe they were fighting and she said she wanted to leave, and he seems like the type to enjoy dropping her off at a gas station with the clothes on her back, and no money, to prove a point. After walking around and stewing she walks back home. He lets her in, enjoying her returning defeated and the fighting resumes. She starts saying she is leaving, but not without the children.

Threatening to sue for full custody would probably be enough for JF to off her. He seems very clear that she was just womb he needed on a temporary basis. Once she gave birth her only mandatory participation in the “family project” was over, he had what he wanted

Maybe they had fights and she tried to leave several times in June, but didn’t want to leave without at least the newborn? A couple with two kids don’t usually have a clean break, it’s lots of fighting, tears, stress and negotiation. JF cheerfully dropping off the mother of his two small children at a gas station, and wishing her well on her life of adventure, is fucking absurd retard world bullshit.

The only independent source we have that she left on June 17 is JF. The neighbors reported her missing because they noticed she had vanished and were concerned. It sounds like they didn’t have a lot of contact with the JF household but enough that they became very concerned by her absence after weeks go by.

There might be CCTV footage of JF dropping her off at a gas station, but that doesn’t mean that’s the last time he saw her or anything else besides he dropped her off there that day for whatever reason. The last date he actually saw her could be June 20, July 1 or later. No reason to trust JF on anything.

It will probably be hard to verify when she went missing because it doesn’t seem she had much contact with anyone besides JF. The fact that she could be missing for four months, with only neighbors finally reporting it because they saw no trace of her for so long, is shady af.
 
He always striked me as a sort of cold, calculating man. But not entirely harmful. He really has the emotional capacity of a plastic bag.
I think it's obvious that JF is a psychopath/ sociopath. He is callous, lacks empathy, has a shallow affect, is irresponsible, glib, and has a grandiose sense of self worth (he invented streaming on YouTube guys). He has a retarded girlfriend because she is easy for him to manipulate and abuse.

That said, I'm not convinced JF killed Elora. It seems that he dropped her off next to the highway hoping she never came back. He's certainly capable of killing her but I don't think the evidence is there yet. Maybe he just wanted her out of his life and got his wish through negligence.

But then again I wouldn't be surprised if he did it.

ALSO:. the Kino Casino Clips channel has an excellent Part 1 and Part 2 on this case.

Just noticed a contradiction: JF says in his Cost of Freedom stream that she left with camping materials to live "in the wild" but in his Crucible stream says the opposite.
