Interesting case. Was she killed or did she commit suicide? If murdered, do they know who did it?
If you have spoke with anyone involved, or think you know someone I should reach out to (aside from the police or medical examiner who I am in contact with), please email me at david.lohr@huffingtonpost.com. Thanks.
What do you think of Emma Vaughn?
She was murdered by James Roy McAlphin, who was her boyfriend/pimp. He's thankfully in prison now.
I know this is a stretch, but is there any way she and FLEK/Lori Ruff/Becky Sue could have crossed paths in Dallas? There are so many similarities..it's just weird to me.
The cases are really really similar but I doubt the cases are linked. Both were extremely private and shady individuals so I don't think they would get involved enough with anyone else (let alone eachother)I know this is a stretch, but is there any way she and FLEK/Lori Ruff/Becky Sue could have crossed paths in Dallas? There are so many similarities..it's just weird to me.
I thought Emma was a ruleout ?
No, she is not a rule out. I've submitted her twice, both to Emma's detective and El Dorado coroner's, and nobody really gets back to me. Emma's detective said he'd "look into it" and haven't heard from him since.
The parallels between her and FLEK's case are really interesting. It is interesting how clearly different people they were, yet they had the same general goal, to not have their true identity be discovered in their "new" lives. They both ended up having very, very different lives, but they still achieved their goal, for some time anyhow.
I think this girl would be identified by a social push like Jason had. I have NO idea how to do this.
I don't know how these other sites work.
JM has an upcoming parole hearing, 1/27/16, per vinelink.
