As a result of the sentencing, we learned Vance Roberts at one point lived in Virginia. Apparently, Jackson's lawyer once again tried to play the "lesser role" card, which upset Michelle Dierich and she walked out of the coutroom. As I said before, I somewhat believe Jackson when he says his brother threatened to kill him and forced him to participate. At the end of the day though that doesn't excuse what he did. He could have said no, I dare you to kill me, I'll go to the police, I'm not raping innocent women. And he certainly didn't seem to have a problem with what his brother was doing. I don't recall the girls saying he asked Vance Roberts to please stop hurting them at any point. I don't recall them saying him telling Roberts he was concerned or looking concerned for them at any point. He had the option to do what was right and what's sad here is despite the plea deal there seems to be no real responsibility from Jackson for what he did. He let his lawyer speak for him while not apologizing to Dierich or Andrea Hood himself. If he was any iota sorry, he would have addressed them himself. Perhaps they would have thought of it as lip service anyway, but it's better than hiding behind your attorney like a coward. Jackson did pass a polygraph when asked about other victims, which did surprise me. But at the same time, polygraphs aren't always accurate. I still find it way too coincidental that police find Polaroids of countless women in the house, and the only ones Jackson says he participated in were the only known victims. Unfortunately for now, I guess we'll always have unanswered questions about if there were any other possible additional victims in this case. www.oregonlive.com/hillsboro/index.ssf/2016/05/paul_jackson_followed_sociopat.html

For anyone interested, even if you already saw the episode on CNN, the Netflix version of the Paul Jackson episode shows Jackson being led to a courthouse in handcuffs after his initial arrest. (Or by America's Most Wanted's old definition- The Hunt showed a "Walk of Shame").

Crime Watch Daily did a 4-part segment on their show today about this case- as Hillsboro P.D. Sergeant Bruce Parks (who was also interviewed on The Hunt), and Michelle Dierich are still determined to identify Roberts and Jackson's other believed victims and make sure Roberts and specifically Jackson (who only received 18 years) never see the light of day again as they can still be prosecuted for new charges. Former AMW correspondent Michelle Sigona was the correspondent for this segment and 'Hunt' producer Ted Schillinger was also interviewed as the show also covered The Hunt's capture of Paul Jackson in Mexico. Apparently the reason the actual photos have never been released up to this point is because they were too graphic, but Crime Watch Daily teamed up with a forensic artist to produce sketches of two of the victims (one is back in the 80's/90's, while the other would be an age-progressed sketch of what the victims may look like today). Anyone who believes they knew the woman in these photos or where they might be are asked to call Crime Stoppers of Oregon at (503) 823-HELP, or they can submit a tip to "Crime Watch Daily" at crimewatchdaily.com (larger photos and story/video segments in links below): crimewatchdaily.com/2017/05/08/exclusive-authorities-seek-help-identifying-possible-portland-slave-room-victims/

It's about time they started work on that part of the case. I estimated the scrapbook to depict, conservatively, 25 further victims, which is precisely why I gave Paul Erven Jackson such a high rank on my Most Wanted of '007. Nobody has knowingly seen any of the victims since they were last confirmed to be in town, and those pictures date back to just after they were last (knowingly) seen by anyone but Erven and Vance. I'd given up hope because Erven had been sentenced before any progress was made on these, but now I feel this part of the case has plenty of potential for solution.
