    UK UK - Fears of a serial killer in Manchester dumping in Canals

    Canals may not be "popular suicide spots" but you only need a small % of suicides to be in canals to get the bodies piling up over the years. Add to that accidents and it creates an easy pile of bodies for academics and journalists to project onto. It seems to be a standard meme to see serial...

    Resolved FL - Port St Joe, 2 Children 96UMFL & 66UFFL, bound & gagged in photo, Jun'89

    another way the photo could have been taken is part of a hoax. many cases get contaminated by hoaxers sending letters and other media. the maura murray case is notorious for an internet video hoaxer trying to insert himself into the case. there were countless phony "jack the ripper" letters sent...

    IN - Lauren Spierer, 20, Bloomington, 03 June 2011 #34

    Searching the words "lauren spierer" + messel + suspect doesn't seem to get any news stories about police considering Messell a suspect in LS's disappearance. It gets stories with misleading headlines like this: "Police probe link between murdered IU student and unsolved disappearance of...

    Identified! TX - Huntsville, 'Walker County Jane Doe', WhtFem 14-16, 91UFTX, Nov'80 Sherry Ann Jarvis

    Searching "Friendswood" on Websleuths shows the town has been associated with the Texas Killing Fields because of Laura Smither's murder there in 1997. William Reece is considered a good suspect in the Smithers murder because he was working in the town at the time and is associated with...

    Identified! TX - Huntsville, 'Walker County Jane Doe', WhtFem 14-16, 91UFTX, Nov'80 Sherry Ann Jarvis

    Friendswood is the town name that I've seen associated with the truck driver who found her, plus Rhoades is the spelling of the surname I've seen most used. Searching James Rhoades + Friendswood gets a Jimmy R Rhodes (no a) who used to live in Friendswood TX, age 65+, so old enough but the name...

    Identified! TX - Huntsville, 'Walker County Jane Doe', WhtFem 14-16, 91UFTX, Nov'80 Sherry Ann Jarvis

    Is it Friendswood or Friendship? I find a few mentions of the driver living in Friendswood but none mentioning Friendship.

    IN - Lauren Spierer, 20, Bloomington, 03 June 2011 #34

    Considering how many cases involve people disappearing or dying due to actions by friends/family, I'm not sure if people are safer being with people they know. It might be 50/50. Many cases are so subtle that it can't be proven if it was a friend or a stranger who caused someone to die or...

    IN - Lauren Spierer, 20, Bloomington, 03 June 2011 #34

    Was this talked about in any news article or police statement? I've searched around a bit but can't find anything. I've never seen that detail discussed before in this case.

    Identified! TX - Huntsville, 'Walker County Jane Doe', WhtFem 14-16, 91UFTX, Nov'80 Sherry Ann Jarvis

    There's always someone who watches it, plus people searching the name on YT would also find it in future; through random pathways we are all audiences of each other.

    Identified! WA - Spokane, WhtFem 16-30, UP489, AKA "Millie", skull found in '98, Jun'84 - Ruth Belle Waymire

    Cutting the body into pieces to hide identity reminds me of Long Island Serial Killer so I sorta lean more towards a meticulous serial killer who targets prostitutes. I think your average abusive boyfriend doesn't have the drive to chop his girl up in such an extreme way, but if it was a...

    AK AK - Anchorage, 'Eklutna Annie' WhtFem 311UFAK, 16-23, unique jewelry, Jul'80

    DoeNetwork says Annie had "possible admixture of Native American" and my first impression on seeing Roxanne Easland was that she looks subtly Asian/Native. NamUs says Roxanne's "fingerprint information is available elsewhere", implying that she was perhaps put into a fingerprint database before...

    Identified! AR - Blytheville, WhtFem 449UFAR, 18-36, 'Kim' tattoo, Jun'78 - Kimberlin Mills

    DoeNetwork says "Homicide by shotgun wound to the head" http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/449ufar.html For the male companion it confusingly says "Homicide by gunshot" http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/2337ummo.html Apparently he was shot three times while she was shot once. Maybe his face...

    Identified! TX - Williamson Co., 'Orange Socks' WhtFem 33UFTX, 15-30, off I-35, Oct'79 - Debra Jackson

    I think Susan Marie Cooke drowned in a boating accident on June 16th 1984, judging by this news story I just found: https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=860&dat=19840618&id=zphUAAAAIBAJ&sjid=5o4DAAAAIBAJ&pg=6074,7998621&hl=en A body was found a month later in the river but it doesn't say...

    Identified! WA - Spokane, WhtFem 16-30, UP489, AKA "Millie", skull found in '98, Jun'84 - Ruth Belle Waymire

    Not sure if I failed to search right a few months ago or if the results weren't there, but I just searched "Susan Marie Cooke" + missing and got some news stories from June-July 1984 that say a Susan Marie Cooke went missing while boating on a river in Cle Elum, Washington...

    Earlier this year on this thread I talked about Jessie Hoover, who went missing in the early 1980s while apparently trying to hike the trail in Maine. Since then a journalism article has appeared and a thread was started...

    IN - Lauren Spierer, 20, Bloomington, 03 June 2011 #34

    I think she may have been located - the NamUs page for Jennifer Rogers has been removed, as well as a Facebook page that talked about her disappearence. This is the thread I started about the case...
