Wow, what a fascinating case. Funnily enough, "manic episode" popped into my head as soon as I read the first post. With the information from the more extensive article, it seems clear that something like that was taking place. Unfortunately, it would shock me if she did not die very shortly...

came after about a year to check in on this case that has been close to my heart since i joined websleuths. as i was reading the last few pages, i was so hoping i'd reach page 18 and see a post from linas announcing that the UID had been a match. the nose and eyes were so strikingly similar...

My major issue with this theory is that from what I understand, Becky Sue Turner's identity was a perfect fit for someone looking to do what Lori did. What are the chances that someone looking for an identity to steal would happen to have one in their immediate family? Furthermore, if said...

While the numbers are definitely a fascinating find, it looks much more like 1 95 8 than 1958 to me.

llywrch, thank you for the new ideas you're bringing into the discussion about LEK. It's really exciting to read about the new angles you're looking at the case from.

For me in reading this case, I have both inferred but also sort of made an assumption that when trying to think about why LEK made decisions, being logical may not be the correct way to find the answer, because her reasons for making her decisions may not have been logical. It's been awhile...

Almost more so than the name she was going by, I'm really curious to know why s/s wasn't surprised that the woman she knew would have wanted to change her identity. The name very well could solve the case though, even if it wasn't her birth name. Although I have no evidence of it, I have a...

I don't think there has been any evidence that LEK ever actually went by Becky. I think that was just the identity she happened to utilize to carry out her plan to legally become Lori Erika Kennedy. There were only three months between LEK acquiring the BST birth certificate and when her name...

If LEK is who ss1988 believes she is, then she doesn't sound like someone who would have been reported missing. She was living far away from her mother but still in contact with her. It wouldn't have been hard for her to lie about what she was doing to her mom while living her new life, possibly...

My concern about morphs is that they're almost TOO good; I feel like any two people, regardless of similarity, could be morphed together and have me seeing connections. That being said, there's a definite resemblance between these two. There are, without a doubt, specific features they have in...

It's very exciting to hear about this new lead! Would love to hear more if anymore shareable info comes to light. It's sad to think that information that would make most of us think "Oh, that's interesting" could have seemed so much larger than life to Lori.

I'm think mdietz has actually addressed that and talked about why he's so confident about his memory of what he saw. There may be a post from him about it from awhile back which is worth looking up. Obviously no brain is perfect, and memories are VERY susceptible to change over time, but I do...

A post from the husband of her daughter from 2001 with some more information http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newmexico.counties.mckinley/75/mb.ashx?pnt=1

What is the Ohio lead?

Thank you so much for sharing that, sloane. Helping people to understand what you've gone through can have an impact that goes even beyond this forum. :heartbeat:

Thank you for sharing that painful personal story LaLaw. This is a tragic case, and I know it must stir up strong but different emotions for all of us. Even though we may have conflicting opinions, being passionate about this case is, regardless, one of the best things we can do to help work...

What did she lie about for the entire marriage? Isn't it just her name? I don't think there's been any evidence that she was fabricating stories about her past; when her husband's family asked her questions, she got upset and refused to answer. She didn't have an elaborate backstory that she'd...

LEK is the one who suffered a pain so deep that she felt suicide was her only option. She is as much a victim as anyone else involved in the case. Saying that you have no respect or sympathy for her is not consistent with "not judging" her. She left her child to the child's father and his...

Sorry, but I strongly disagree with aspects of this post. Someone changing their identity for drama or to be "cool" would not have the urgent devotion to do it as flawlessly as LEK. This was something she believed she NEEDED to do; it was the only option in her mind. She was anxious and scared...

I think of LEK so often, and it warms my heart that there may finally be a break in the case. I would also like to chime in in her defense, so to speak, that it's very likely to be a very innocent reason behind her decisions. I know from personal experience that there are countless legitimate...
