Others have experienced cables, connectors and etc not being locked down or corroded causing multiple issues. Like the one where the issue was the wiring at the starter itself due to oil saturation and icky crap deteriorating the wire and poor connections.
At this point on my life I would recommend a walk through each connection, clean, and reconnect process. Battery (physically pull it out), cables, wiring at the jump points under the hood (loose) etc, etc. A jump start allows a engine start means the cables from the back to the front (assuming he is jumping at the engine, NOT the battery) are NOT allowing current flow. Poor grounds? bad cable, short due to positive cable explosion? Who knows as only a resistance/volt drop test will tell.
Ten years of salt, wear & tear and vibration takes it's toll. Plus who knows who touched what it the poor X's life?
