Ridgeway murder suspect Austin Sigg’s father no stranger to police
Posted on: 7:34 pm, October 24, 2012

<snipped>

Austin Sigg’s father, 48-year-old Robert Sigg, has a long criminal history dating back decades.

He now lives in a sprawling Parker mansion on a hilltop overlooking the city.

We have learned he is in Mexico on business. He is the owner of Performance One, a  media company in Centennial.

Robert Sigg’s trouble with the law includes a federal conviction for bank fraud in 2004.

He was also arrested for first degree burglary and assault in Jefferson County.

The rap sheet goes on: Driving under the influence in Evans, selling and distributing dangerous drugs in Weld county, as well as assault and battery in Aurora.

Denver police arrested him for obstructing, and resisting arrest and disturbing the peace.

Robert Sigg was charged as an habitual traffic offender in Thornton.

Parker police arrested him for domestic violence and driving under the influence of drugs.

[Kermit]

I wonder if Sigg watched Jessica or other neighborhood kids/women? 

sex addicts:
go into their "own world" fantasy. they do not have a connection with their feelings like a normal person.
something triggers them
they plan
they act out
guilt phase - this would be the small amount of time that they would confess & tell everything
then they have no remorse & close up


Austin was out in his moms car driving at 8:30 AM. maybe on his way to his classes
He had rope, he had trash bags, he had a car -  so he planned.

Kermit-  respectfully, there is absolutely no evidence that Sigg is a sex addict.  I have never studied sex addiction in my practice so I could not speak to that, but I have studied both homicidal motivations and sexually motivated offenders to include sexual sadists, ritual offenders, all areas of paraphilic motivations and associated criminology with each.

You are a talented researcher with good insight.

 An "addiction to porn" is really a layperson descriptor for very specific issues based on exactly what his behavior and actions were based on access.  I can tell you to be removed from curriculum, and put in treatment, there is likely a juvenile offense associated with this,  OR  someone became aware of deviant behavior which was attributable to the kind of porn that contains violence in a sexual situation (s).  For me, this is underscored in Mindy's bktcy filing, or she was concerned about being sued for something.

I was told by LE yesterday that a gag order will preclude any autopsy information released and  quite frankly,  the COD and wounds inflicted to the remains evidence is the single biggest determining factor in this offenders classification.

I am not going to publish the inside rumors  ( I call them rumors because with a gag,  no way to vett them,  but legit sources.)

I think it is dangerous to assume this kid is telling the truth.  As an example, who really believes he is driving by her 1000 ft track,  goes up the street and turns around,  grabs her against her will in full daylight and houses,  and manages to subdue her and hogtie her in the middle of the street.

He would have had to -to believe his story, and with a cargo value of less than 64 cu. ft WITH the seats down, he would still need to reach behind him and close the rear door by hand.   Do we suppose he just stopped in the middle of the street with light snow at the school hour and hogtied a child without anyone noticing and did all this, to finally calmly drive somewhere, not his house, and dismember her without detection and find some undisclosed place to hide her partial remains for 5 days?

Not going to happen without help or an alternative location he has access to where he was apparently home by midnight because of a JR license.


This case was sealed before they had a minor as a suspect, it is that heinous-  

Hi Blink,

In response to your post:


   Austin Sigg is said to have an addiction:
The teenager accused of murdering Jessica Ridgeway was reportedly treated for a severe pornography addiction at the young age of 15-years-old.
http://www.examiner.com/article/jessica-ridgeway-suspect-treated-for-porn-addiction

1. I have a degree in psychology.
   Without going into a lot of psychobabble - Not only does Austin Sigg have an addition to porn, but I would pretty much say that   he had an affectionless control style of bonding as a child which oft times leads kids to not be able to fit in and make friends.
   These types do not go from A to B. In other words, they don't start out raping & murdering.
   They are unable to fit in & they have a lot of anger/rage which manifests itself in other ways. They are unable to feel acceptance by others and they become dysfunctional emotionally  with no coping skills and that contributes to them  developing a world of fantasy which is their escape.

   As Gypsy points out in her post that the porn, the war games all becomes a means for escape but it fuels their inner rage
   that has no normal way of being able to cope with.



MAY 2012 seems to be a pivotal month (this may have been the trigger for Austin).
Mother, Mindy, files for bankruptcy. In spite of her 2000.00 a month child support.
an attempt to kidnap the jogger (DNA) connects Austin Sigg with that
They go on vacation to I think it was Virgin Islands
Austin returns, starts college classes
Oct 5th he kidnaps and murders and mutilates Jessica Ridgeway.

2. In regards to your theory that someone or others are involved. I posted that I, too, believe it is possible
   that Austin was involved with an online group or individuals who took part in the crime in some way. My reasoning that it's
   an online relationship is because Austin doesn't seem to have friends that he normally hangs out with although the women
   who walks her dog in the park said she saw him with 2 other boys. . I believe we'll learn more about this part of
   the case when the computer forensic's is completed. I also would not rule out that Austin had access to film/video equipment.
   Didn't his father own a company involved in media.

3. How did Austin kidnap Jessica?
   He may have had his mothers 9mm and told Jessica I'll shoot you if you don't get in the car.
   Most likely he took her to a remote place and then tied her up. He says that he hog tied her and then
   strangled her. When the forensic tests come back we'll learn if he also raped her.

Thank you for the compliment about the research, I appreciate it.
Enjoyed listening to Dana's show last night and your insights into the case.

Murder Suspect’s Father Releases Statement: “Devastated”
October 25, 2012 4:36 PM

<snipped>

Sigg’s father has been in and out of legal trouble and his mother had financial problems and a history of divorce.

Austin Sigg’s father, Robert J. Sigg, has a history of both civil and criminal problems. Court records show the father was arrested for driving under the influence in Douglas County in 2004, domestic violence in the same county, and DUI arrests in Arapahoe and Jefferson counties. He also had an assault arrest in Jefferson County and a drug dealing arrest in Weld County.

The FBI arrested Robert Sigg and he was convicted in 2006 for involvement in a mortgage fraud scheme.

Records show Robert Sigg has been married and divorced several times and has been wrapped up in dozens of civil actions over money.

Austin Sigg’s parents were divorced 12 years ago

Jessica's body was not positively identified until the next day after this was posted.



Did this dude seriously amputate the leg of his squirrel and conduct withholding experiments on it?

There is a young girls voice and fingers in one squirrel video.

This suspect is a lefty if this is Sigg for sure, and I am not seeing on the surface how that was vetted.

Enjoyed listening to Dana's show last night and your insights into the case.

Kermit, in my piece I posted a series of at least 10 youtube videos ( they were removed by the owner the next day) which would support that Sigg was entirely comfortable recording, understood the equipment to do so well, and also had a serious understanding of porn and sexuality at 14.  It also contained a FB link of a friend of his claiming to be very close with him, and by all accounts, he is not as much of a loner as one would think.

If you are referring to his POTENTIAL ( none of us have interviewed him so I am cautious to state my observations as fact)  inability to attach as an infant, I do agree that is a major indicator in the psycopathy checklist, and likely found in this profile.

Does anyone have the software to lighten up this photo from the video that is thought to be Siggs.

At the 2:21 time mark in the video, the reporter says that there is a Jeep logo on the steering wheel (shown briefly).  Sigg drove a Jeep.

Some people were saying Friday Jessica Ridgeway’s accused killer shot a video while driving a Jeep past an area where police were conducting a search.
 
The video was shot the day after the 10-year-old’s body was found in a field in Arvada. The full YouTube video appears below.
 
It was shot by someone driving a jeep. The logo is clear on the steering wheel in the video. Sigg drove a jeep. Police towed it away from his home near 102nd Ave. and Oak St. Wednesday afternoon.

 ::snipping2::

The YouTube video was posted by someone with the handle “LostWithinBoredom,” the same one Sigg used to post other videos in the past.
 
The video lasts for 1:25. It was posted with this one-line statement: “Driving through the area around where the dead body was found in Arvada”

Blink,

Do you know if the friend is someone that is an "online friend" or someone whom he would hang out with in real life?

Most of these types have no real life friends and from what the other kids that went to school with Siggs are saying he had no friends. thereby isolating himself further from the real world. I'm inclined to believe that his friends were only online friends.
Also, anyone who spends a lot of time online, knows how to upload videos etc.

I'm wondering though if he and one of his online friends used a video camera someplace to watch. I'm trying to be sensitive in saying so you read between the lines of what I'm getting at.

Police: Suspect in Jessica Ridgeway murder is 17 year old boy
10/24/2012 11:57:04 AM MDTThe Denver


Austin Reed Sigg (Westminster Police Dept.)

Westminster police have arrested a 17 year old boy for investigation of the murder of Jessica Ridgeway.

Austin Reed Sigg was arrested late Tuesday night after police received a tip that led them to a home near Ketner Lake Open Space, according to a news release from the Westminster Police Department.

Authorities also said that charges will be filed against Sigg for the May 28 attempted abduction of an adult jogger near Ketner Lake, which authorities confirmed earlier this week was connected to Jessica's kidnapping and murder.

Sigg will be charged with two counts of murder in the first degree and a second-degree kidnapping charge, among others.

According to police documents, Sigg is a student Arapahoe Community College.

On March 23, Sigg won second place in the Crime Scene Investigation division of the Health Occupation Students of America State Leadership Conference competition.
Police will release additional information at a news conference at 12:05 p.m. at the Westminster Police Department.

Source: Jessica Ridgeway murder suspect wanted to be mortician, turned in by mom
Posted on: 12:45 pm, October 24, 2012

WESTMINSTER, Colo. — According to FOX31′s Justin Joseph, the 17-year-old suspected of abducting and murdering 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway was arrested after he confessed to his mother, who then turned him in to police.

Citing an anonymous law enforcement source, Joseph confirmed those details and was also able to report that the suspect, Austin Reed Sigg, had aspirations to become a mortician.

<snipped>

http://kdvr.com/2012/10/24/source-jessica-ridgeway-murder-suspect-wanted-to-be-mortician-turned-in-by-mom/

Could it be that the previously diagnosed addition to pornography of the minor Austin Sigg will be the foundation for a plea deal in the charges encompassing the murder of Jessica Ridgeway?

Could it be that the criminal record encompassing the father of minor Austin Sigg will be a factor?

Exclusive: Ridgeway murder suspect Austin Sigg treated for pornography addiction
Posted on: 11:38 pm, October 24, 2012

Fox31 Denver is digging into the history of 17-year-old Austin Sigg. He’s in custody and faces charges for the murder and kidnapping of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway in Westminster.

Senior investigative reporter Josh Bernstein confirmed that the teenager had been treated for an addiction to pornography.

Bernstein reports family members say he was just 15 years old and his addiction was so strong that it required counseling.

In real life,  and was allegedly also a victim of "bullying".  Sigg had girlfriends,  was a member of a youth ministry clubhouse for HS students, and went to church.  Lab partners, csi partners- all shocked and said he was "brilliant."

His online profiles we were able to track coincide with what I believe was the treatment time and when he was removed from school.  That is usually the sign of someone who has been restricted from web access for whatever reason.

SO I am not sure how the recent youtube is attributable to him.

Police look at teen in death of Jessica Ridgeway for 2 other child cases
Friday, October 26, 2012

 ::snipping2::
Sigg turns 18 in January. He remains in a juvenile detention facility and cannot face the death penalty because of his age when he allegedly committed the crime. Jefferson County District Attorney Scott Storey said Sigg will likely be charged and tried as adult by his office.

But that decision can be challenged by Sigg’s public defenders who can ask a judge for what’s called a reverse transfer to keep the case in juvenile court under a state law passed this year. Among the factors to be considered by a judge to keep the case in an adult court are the seriousness of the crime, impact on the victims, and the maturity and intelligence level of the defendant.

The difference between adult court and juvenile court is that the maximum sentence for serious crimes, such as murder, which in juvenile court is seven years, said Kim Dvorchak, founder of a the advocacy group, Colorado Juvenile Defender Coalition.

While adults face a mandatory life without parole for a murder conviction, juveniles tried as adults face life in prison with the possibility of parole after 40 years, Dvorchak said.

Even if Sigg’s case remains in juvenile court and he’s convicted, the changes to the law enacted this year allow juveniles to serve back-to-back sentences for multiple convictions for crimes of violence, which could mean a decades-long prison term for Sigg. That sentence would first be served in a youth corrections facility followed by a transfer to an adult prison at age 21, Dvorchak said

Did he get the mohawk in Juvenile Detention?  I was thinking the picture that was put out of him was his mugshot, if that's so...he didn't have a mohawk then.

That just bugs me, if he got that haircut after he was arrested seems a little "in your face" to me.  jmo

And having the nerve to look at Jessica's family too.

Overwhelming evidence against Austin Reed Sigg - suspect in the Jessica Ridgeway case in Westminster, prosecution team says
10:26 PM, Oct 25, 2012   |   13  comments

 ::snipping2::

Multiple members of Jessica's family appeared in court wearing Jessica's favorite color - purple. Sigg's family was also present in the courtroom Thursday. As soon as Sigg was brought into the courtroom - sporting a goatee and a mohawk - one of his family members started to sob.

This was Sigg's first appearance in court. His public defenders kept referring to him as a "child" during the court proceedings. The judge did not read Sigg his charges, but he did explain his rights. Sigg asked questions in regards to his legal rights, which the judge allowed Sigg's attorneys to explain to him.

The prosecution says they plan to transfer the case to district court and eventually ask him to be transferred to the county jail, but he remains in juvenile court as of Thursday.

 ::snipping2::

Sigg looked back at Jessica's family at least once during the proceedings. Jessica's family did not react to anything said in court Thursday.

Thanks for posting that no rose.  Just wanted to point out that video was posted prior to identification of Jessica's remains.  He also stops taping as he turns around apparently.  I wonder if he asked the cop anything.

The judge did not read Sigg his charges, but he did explain his rights. Sigg asked questions in regards to his legal rights, which the judge allowed Sigg's attorneys to explain to him.

The prosecution says they plan to transfer the case to district court and eventually ask him to be transferred to the county jail, but he remains in juvenile court as of Thursday.

Sigg looked back at Jessica's family at least once during the proceedings. Jessica's family did not react to anything said in court Thursday.

texas mom- as usual we are on the same page - the mohawk really bothered me because he had to get it in the juvenile detention center..  I presume that means he had access and was in the general population.

If not, prior to court but post mug shot ( I thought that was weird because he had his necklace on and in general that would have been removed from his possession and a mandatory suicide watch) he was allowed some sort of court grooming appt that did not include clothing for court.

So his lawyers are calling him a child, they plan to seek relief to keep him in juvenile court ( they have to) but he shows up looking like a thug on purpose?

Mental Defense, all the way.

Did anyone read the Stig Larson trilogy?  Lizbeth Salander scene where she preps for court and shows up in chains, goth makeup and a mohawk.

Thanks Grace.

Austin Siggs mother may have turned him in but ... considering a DNA sample was taken at the getgo ... I assume that investigators were in the process of connecting the dots.  Think about it.  DNA was taken from Jessica's bagged remains as well as her backpack.

Prosecutors Say There Is DNA Evidence Linking Suspect to Jessica Ridgeway's Murder
Oct. 26, 2012

Prosecutors said that Sigg's DNA was on Ridgeway's backpack and at the crime scene in the Arvada, Colo., where her body was found Oct. 10. Lawyers also said that traces of Sigg's DNA were left at a crime scene involving a jogger who was attacked in May.

Sources tell ABC News that human remains believed to be Ridgeway's were found inside his home, which is less than a mile away from where the 10-year-old lived with her mother. Investigators have been searching for clues in Sigg's home since his arrest. Sigg shares the home with his mother, Mindy.
