Hi all,
I was browsing "The Doe Network" the other day and I wanted to discuss three obscure cases that stuck out in my mind, and explain why they resonated with me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1117UMOH. 1117UMOH Unidentified black male, found in 1991 in Ohio. Aged between 18-21, COD unknown.
In his right sneaker was a note that read:
"For Daddy
We can't wait to see you!
Love
Cynthia and Boo Boo
Miss You"
I think what leapt out at me from this case was the note, which is, needless to say, utterly heartbreaking. Also, the case seems rather solvable compared to the many other John Doe cases. The letter suggests he had people in his life who truly cared about him and noticed him when he was gone. The inclusion of the name "Cynthia" could have been helpful to police as interviewing women named Cynthia in that area could have led to the identity of this young man.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
227UFTX. 227UFTX Unidentified white female, found in 1998 in Texas. Aged between 30-50, COD apparent suicide by gunshot.
What makes this case unusual to me is the method in which she chose to take her life: gunshot suicides are common with males but much less so with females. It makes me sad, because this woman clearly was struggling so much with life she wanted the most lethal way out possible.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And finally, possibly the most gut-wrenching:
3072UMPEI 3072UMPEI Unidentified male victim, race unknown, found in 2015 on Prince Edward Island, Canada. Newborn, COD undetermined but investigated as homicide.Found with him was a towel with a frog emblem on it.
When I looked at that frog, I wanted to cry. It is just so sad and frustrating. Someone cared about this tiny baby enough to gift that adorable towel to him, yet he remains unknown. This case is so recent too. Why is it not solved?
