Two questions, actually:

1. Since they live in the same city, and since the weird murder events happening because of Killgrave are essentially mystery cases that requires good lawyers...why hasn't Daredevil been involved in any of this? After he locked up Fisk, wouldn't addressing these murders be a top priority of his? After all, he want stop fighting "to save his city".

2. Jessica acted like she didn't know who Night Nurse was talking about??? Was Daredevil on the news multiple times? In the newspapers? Didn't he take down the biggest political fraud ever??? Shouldn't she know about him or at least ask Night Nurse if she was referring to Daredevil? It could be possible that season one of JJ ends during DD and the events coincide with one another, which might be why Daredevil wasn't on that case. Besides, he was already dealing with Fisk and you have to admit, mind control does seem like a bit of a stretch.

The tie-in comic disposes that theory though, so it's got to be something else. How big is Hell's Kitchen? Maybe they take place in different parts of the city? Word would still get around, but it could take longer. Plus, I don't see Jessica reading about Daredevil in the papers, she was mostly trying to recover and start Alias Intestigations. It's understandable for Jessica to not know much about Daredevil.

However, I do expect Daredevil to have known something about Jessica. The guy has super senses, could probably overhear a ton of conversations that have to do with Kilgrave and check their heartbeat to see if they're telling the truth. Nelson and Murdock is still a relatively new firm, so it's understandable if they aren't involved, but Daredevil definitely should be checking it out. Pretty sure Hell's kitchen only cover a few blocks of NYC. So it's not big at all really.
