The Longwood University freshman was home for Spring Break.

Police initially said there's no indication of any foul play, but they continue to look for her.

“I found my daughter’s jacket in his couch rolled up behind the cushion,” said Hadsell.”I was just trying to make the evidence come to light.

His hotel room in the same town where they live?  Oh boy...   

First question that comes to mind is was he at home with the family or in his hotel room Monday night?

I haven't listened to all of it yet, but I've got some concerns.  The concerns started before he lied about the jacket.

From the comments:

Cleaver • 15 hours ago

Anjelica's second stepdad was indicted by a grand jury for rape, kidnapping, and assault in 2005. On the day the indictment was handed down, AJ's second stepdad kidnapped his estranged wife, Michelle Tallman Hadsell, for two weeks. A national manhunt occurred to find and rescue Michelle. She was eventually rescued from the stepdad by law enforcement officers at a roadside rest stop. Michelle later refused to testify against Wesley, so the District Attorney prosecuted Wesley for felonious restraint, assault, grand larceny, statutory burglary, and many counts of forgery. Wesley, Aj's newest stepdad, was given a 10-year prison sentence and served most of this sentence.

In the first days after AJ's disappearance, Wesley withheld information from police officers. Notice the first missing posters state AJ was last seen at 7 am on March 2nd. This is now known to be untrue. Several days after AJ's disappearance, Wesley came forward and admitted that he saw and spoke to AJ at a gas station around noon, but they didn't talk much. They mostly stared at each other for 45 minutes then she "departed his presence". You can hear Wesley provide this specific information on a podcast operated by Chelsea Hoffman.

Wesley Hadsell no longer resides with AJ's mother. On the gofundme page, Wesley states that the donated money will be used to help his families. The number of families that Wesley has is unknown.

The jacket that Wesley stated was found in some teen male's closet was NOT verified by the police to be AJ's jacket. This unverified information came out from Wesley Hadsell.

The unidentified person that Wesley states interjected himself into the case and is a POI is AJ's first stepdad. The first stepdad raised Anjelica from the age 1 to 14. He has distributed fliers to find AJ, but Wesley and AJ's mom ordered his posters to be ripped down. The first stepdad also put up a $25,000 reward. For many years, the first stepdad has kept a blog of his heartbreaking interactions with Wesley Hadsell and Anjelica. His blog is open for the public to read.

Peaceful end to manhunt

Ohio criminal had ex-wife as hostage | 0 comments

An army of state, county and local police collared an armed Ohio kidnapper this morning after an intense manhunt through dense Kankakee County cornfields northeast of Manteno.

His female victim was also recovered unharmed when police dropped the net at 10:39 a.m. at 12000N and 6000E roads.
 
Wesley Hadsell, described by state police as a career burglar, was thought to be armed and very dangerous. There was no information at presstime whether he was armed at the time of capture. Hadsell was being transported to an area hospital to be checked for injury, noted police.

He was being sought for the Aug. 26 kidnapping and rape of his former wife, Michelle Hadsell. She was with him when he abandoned his car after a police chase that began around 1:05 a.m. today on Interstate 57 near Peotone.

 

Delaware County, Ohio, sheriff's police, a jurisdiction about 20 minutes north of Columbus, said this morning that the kidnapping was initially reported by the victim's father who'd received a panicked call from his daughter.

Police later found signs of a struggle at her residence.

A patrolling state police trooper ran the plate of Hadsell's car early today near the Peotone rest area and learned the driver was wanted for rape, domestic violence, kidnapping and assault.

Tip on missing Norfolk woman leads divers to pond

ISLE OF WIGHT COUNTY

Norfolk police divers searched a retention pond in Carrsville most of the day Friday after receiving a tip Thursday night on the disappearance of 18-year-old Anjelica "AJ" Hadsell.

Twelve divers searched the pond, two at a time, that is part of Granville Acres farm on Joyners Bridge Road in the rural area along U.S. 258. They rarely surfaced through the day as they searched.

They didn't find anything relevant to the case, said Daniel Hudson, a police spokesman.

Detectives went out to the area Thursday night to search and returned Friday morning, Hudson said.

"I got up at 7:30 because I heard them shutting the trailer doors," said Steven Hines, who lives in a house across the road from the pond. He said police had asked him whether he had seen a plumbing van. He said he thought he had seen one recently. Hines has lived in the area since 1985.

All afternoon, neighbors sat on their front porches across Walters Highway to watch police camped out at the site with trailers, cars and equipment.

"The kids are scared," Misty Sutton said. "They come home from school yesterday seeing this and they they leave for school seeing this this morning."

The area normally is quiet without the volume of traffic that passed by Friday afternoon.

Detectives took pictures Thursday night, talked to neighbors and searched properties, Sutton said.

"You never have any of this kind of stuff out here," she said.

The owner of the farm and the pond was cooperating, Hudson said.

The tip was not received through the Crime Line, Hudson said. He declined to provide details, citing the ongoing investigation. Detectives, he said, are pursuing all leads.

Stepfather of missing Norfolk woman denied bond

By Scott Daugherty

NORFOLK

The stepfather of a missing Longwood University student broke into the home of a police witness earlier this month and threatened four people, according to a prosecutor.

Wesley Hadsell, 36, was denied bond Friday on charges of obstructing justice, breaking and entering and possession of ammunition by a felon.

The search for 18-year-old Anjelica "AJ" Hadsell is entering its 26th day. She was last seen March 2 at her parents' home in Norfolk's Tarrallton neighborhood. She was home for spring break at the time.

In court Friday, Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Ashley Coleman said Wesley Hadsell was "seeking to impede" the investigation into his stepdaughter's disappearance. She said he broke into the home of a person who had been questioned by police and assaulted an animal there. She added that Hadsell threatened several police witnesses with violence and harassed at least one with an air horn.

Assistant Public Defender Katherine Currin, Hadsell's attorney, cast the allegations in a different light. She said her client believed AJ Hadsell might have been in the house where the March 6 burglary occurred.

"If he entered this house, it's because he thought his daughter was in grave danger," Currin told the court.

The defense attorney asked the court to release her client on bond or home electronic monitoring. Despite his lengthy criminal history, including convictions for felonious restraint, burglary and bank robbery, Currin said, her client was not a flight risk.

"Mr. Hadsell would very much like to be with his family and help with the search for his daughter," Currin said.

Judge Bruce Wilcox denied the bond request.

Coleman said Hadsell - who has "Game Over" tattooed on his eyelids - was estranged from his wife at the time of his arrest and had been for "weeks." Coleman did not say whether the estrangement occurred before or after AJ's disappearance. She said he was living in a hotel room, where police later found a scale with possible cocaine residue on it and 75 rounds of ammunition hidden in an air conditioning vent.

Coleman said Hadsell told police he had a gun, but they would never find it. He also confessed to ongoing and increasing cocaine use, the prosecutor said.

Today. Anjelica.

 

One last piece I want to rant about is Wes. Right now I am just gonna say that it really hurt having him adopt Anjelica when she was 15. I felt betrayed by Anjelica, and by Jennifer. Jennifer should have known better than to do all of this. She knew that I was Anjelica's father, but she carelessly gave her to another man. She became very possessive of Anjelica, in my opinion to try to solidify her relationship with Wes. Anjelica was an integral part of that relationship, as she was with Jennifer's and my relationship. She shouldn't have brought a man just out of prison (or any man) to live with my daughters without knowing him and vetting him thoroughly. I found out about his past and took her to court to get my children full time from her. Custody remained as it was (split legal and physical). It hurts listening to him so gallantly refer to her as his daughter. He has only known her since she was 14. This man is absurdly bold. He made that clear from the beginning as he became 'best buds' with Anjelica while I grew further and further apart from her and knew less and less about her life and friends and school and even health and everything. On the other hand, I have been thankful for Anjelica having what appeared to be a solid father-figure in her life. I can only assume his love is genuine and that his attempts to help me rebuild my relationship with Anjelica were genuine. So I am praying for justice. Justice for the wrongs committed against Anjelica throughout her life, not just 2 weeks ago. I am praying for truth and that the lies her mother hides behind be revealed. I believe God is at work here. He is sifting things out. The truth will be what is left. I hope Anjelica sees it one day and embraces it. She is a beautiful person. I pray for her angels to protect her. If I find out she is hurt, I will not know how it would be possible to pick myself up from that. If Jennifer or my daughters ever read this, I am sorry for bad-mouthing your mother. I just can't sit back and pretend everything is alright anymore. I can own up to my mistakes - why can't she??

SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY

Human remains have been found during a search in Southampton County for Angelica "AJ" Hadsell, police have confirmed.

The investigation led police this morning to a house in the 34000 block of Smith's Ferry Road, where the remains were discovered oustide about 10 a.m., according to Norfolk police. The remains will be taken to the medical examiner's office for identification and to determine the cause of the death.

The small brick house along the road is surrounded by chest-high brush. The area is marked off with police tape and several police cars are parked nearby.

Officers began searching the area about 8 a.m., said Officer Sam Shenouda, department spokesman.

Because of the high grass and size of the crime scene, police will probably be scouring the area for several days, looking for clues in the overgrown grass, he said. Police believe the house was abandoned.

FBI agents are also involved in the search, said FBI spokeswoman Christina Pullen.
