I found a nice full face picture today, and I really think that it matches the age progression of Sheri Lynn. I asked my DH (who thinks I am crazy for reading all these true crime websites) and he thought it was a match too. I'm glad to know that it wasn't just me that thought so! So now I am...
Here is a site with some more info on Gertrude, including a scan of a microfilm copy of the Army accident report:

I am about halfway finished with the book, and noticed something interesting. Martin L. Sweeney, a Democratic congressman from Cleveland's Twentieth District, was openly critical of Eliot Ness and Mayor Burton (who was aparently a Republican). He made a speech against them on March 6, 1937 in...
I got the book : "In the Wake of the Butcher: Cleveland's Torso Murders"
at the library yesterday. I haven't read it yet, but skimming through it I noticed in the "Suspects" section they talk about The Kentucky Butcher. It doesn't give the man's name, but says he was from Maysville, Kentucky...
She is married. I will have to find a way to quiz her about her maiden name :) . If I am remembering correctly, we saw this lady on September 9th of last year, then again on September 14th. When we saw her on the 14th, she mentioned celebrating her birthday. I will have to try and verify that...
The church thing probably isn't a big deal. I am just trying to piece together things I have heard from or about this lady. Mind you, we aren't good friends or anything, she is just someone I've known for about a year, and at the time when I was hearing these things, I didn't know about Sheri...
I was rereading the section of Matt Birkbeck's book "A Beautiful Child" that had info about Freda, Sheri Lynn, and Michael. It said that Freda met Henry Harbison in Chicago when she was "passing through" and Harbison was working as a window washer. Was Sheri born in Chicago? What connections did...
Interesting site with pictures of the postcards, death mask of one of the victims, and the baskets Florence Polillo was found in:

I know this may sound like a stupid question, but are Sheri Lynn's eyes definately brown? I know they look brown in the pics on the Doe Network, and they are listed as brown, but I thought I would verify that info. The reason I ask is that I know someone who seems to fit Sheri's profile fairly...
I guess that would depend on what kind of ID, if any, you had to show to get a marriage license back then. She could have applied for a marriage license under a different last name. If she roomed alone, I don't see how her friends could be 100% certain she wasn't seeing anyone else. Her comings...
It looks like Delaware, Ohio is in Delaware County. Here is a link to the Delaware County, Ohio Historical and Genealogical Society:

The address for the Delaware County Courthouse is:

I would love to have more info about these cases. I tried to look them up on the Internet, but I didn't find anything. Did you find these in the local paper? You would think that someone would take notice of that many people disappearing in that short a time frame from the same area. Are some of...
I wonder if posting her story at genealogy sites would help. I know in tracing my ancestors, I have found that sometimes they suddenly "disappear" from where they were living. Usually, you assume that means they moved or were deceased, but I don't think many genealogists would think to look at...
