She called family from out of state... Which state was she in? Why does she have so many aliases?

I don't pay much attention to time frames but I think this points to her family or some type of relationship to Idaho.

I think her birth name was Rowena Elizabeth Carrico. She married Robert Schell Dec 5 1958. I don't know when they divorced but he remarried in Jan 1976. She remarries in 1975 as April Rowena E Schell to Anthony F. Husk in Nevada.

 

[Bit of hope]

I found some interesting things about her first husband. Criminal Genealogy: Robert Schell: Burglary 17 years Old

Robert as he was called, married 5 Dec 1958 to Rowena Elizabeth Carrico.

He married again 14 Jan 1976 in Clark Co., WA to Elaine Louise Steele they divorced 13 Aug 1985 in Clark Co, Nevada.

Could they have met up again, after this divorce? I'm not sure she had divorced Husk by that time.

He died in Idaho in 2013, according to the above mentioned write up. She is listed to have lived in Idaho at some time.

I think this is her second? husband's obituary.

That would have been her third husband's obituary.

 

[Bit of hope]

That would have been her third husband's obituary.

She married Schell when she was 21, so there was an earlier marriage? Maybe it's listed at Ancestry, but I don't have an account. Maybe she took on another alias and went under the radar. She would be approx. 85 today. Maybe she is already deceased and was buried under a totally different name.

 

[Missmec]

I know first hand because she was my mother in law. She married my husbands Dad at 18. Last name Carrico. It's possible she took another alias as she knew how to change identity based on items we found among her belongings but the evidence found in her apartment points to murder. She was in with some pretty shady folks.
The recent body found in lake Mead had us wondering for a second but turned out to be male. I doubt we will ever know what happened.

Very interesting. What is her maiden name...I wonder.....I thought it was Carrico....but according to your story it's not.....Very mysterious all together....Are you willing to become a verified insider in this case?

[Missmec]

I believe her maiden name was Newsom. Her mom was married 5 times and she had a different father than her sisters. Her oldest living sister is 91. There was discussion about the Idaho link. It is where we live and where she grew up. I will check out the link you posted for verification.

 

[Missmec]

Looks like I shouldn't be sharing information until I'm verified. I didn't read the link before posting. Oops

 

[Missmec]

Maiden name was Newsom. Married names, Carrico, Schell and Husk. She was married to Tony Husk twice. Born in Idaho. Not sure what else I can share without being verified.

 

[Bit of hope]

From Familysearch. It's kind of confusing. Birth date fits, also the names used. Somebody could have used/stole her identity.

 

[Missmec]

Yeah, not sure where that came from. She left Boise sometime in the spring of 86 I think.

Do you have to be “verified” even if the case isn’t in current events? That’s kind of a shame. You can’t find very much information at all about this missing person.

I guess so, but an admin. would know best. As a verified member you would have a chance to give (and spread) information that is so desperatly needed in this case.

 

[PeriwinkleE]

It runs some people off. They think they can’t participate unless they do it, which just isn’t true. There isn’t any mainstream media talking about this case at all anymore. Maybe a flair or something saying they’re an unverified insider would be better.
