so where was john vansice then? having anything to do with jodi's disappearance. >> about three days after this happened, john calls me up. and he says, i don't have any friends, ladonna. they all think i did this. i think it's important that people understand that john was persecuted right from the get go. um -- it's so hard. the part that agitates me is that people think that john was so infatuated with jodi, which he liked jodi. and i always say, was he infatuated with her, or was he protecting her? and i come up with the conclusion that he was protecting her because he saw all the stuff that she was doing, and she was young and beautiful and in the limelight. she'd been stalked. he never talked like, i want to sleep with her, or anything sexual. >> john vansice also said he had a girlfriend at the time jodi disappeared. >> according to ladonna, that relationship ended after vansice's name began to surface in connection with jodi's disappearance. >> i talked to his girlfriend, and she said, i'm not seeing him any
