Help finding Jenny (Burkart) Guizar Posted on: 23 Dec 2000, by Angie Carper

Surnames > Burkart

Hi, I'm the daughter of a Burkart. My mom's maiden name is Burkart. My Aunt Jenny (Burkart) Guizar has been missing since the mid 80's and I've been trying to find out info. on this.

I live in Ohio and I'm seeking info. on my Aunt Jenny (Burkart) Guizar. She disappeared in the mid 80's in the Ventura Co. California area. Since this time my family and I have heard nothing except that the Police closed the case many years ago. She has one son and his name is Justin Guizar. If you have access to any info. on this person please contact me through email: carper512.msn.com. Thank You.

Could this be the same woman, they are searching for? The name is spelt different, but there are a lot of weird coincidences....

My heart went a bit quicker, when I read this. I was immediately thinking of Ellery Doe found in 1983. She had a T-shaped scar (probably a thyroid surgery scar), had a child once, 5'4, a mole on her cheek left side, would be about the right age, but Ellery doe had brown eyes instead of blue and no abdominal scar mentioned. Hmmm. Considering MP's surname, she could be of European decent (German or Dutch background).

Wish we had a picture of Jennie (or Jenny) Burk(h)art. See my prior post about a missing aunt.

Romulus can you see at what date this MP was entered in Namus and if she has DNA submitted? Date modified in Namus...I found it....10-9-2018.

Or am I totally wrong here?

That date of death is almost exactly 5 years after she went missing. In California, you can file to have someone declared deceased without a body after 5 years of continuous no contact. I imagine the family filed to have her declared deceased so they could probate the estate.

Is there a way to check if she is declared dead, while missing?
 
I tried to send a mail to the persons mail address who was searching for her aunt, but it wasn't delivered. And then to a kind of similar mail address with another provider in November, but I never heard something back.
 
Based on the newspaper blurb announcing her marriage to Guizar, Jennie graduated from Zanesville HS and UC Santa Barbara. The 1972 Zanesville yearbook, her senior year, is online.

It's a black and white picture, but her eyes don't look that blue to me. Opinions? And it looks like she had wonderful teeth.

Could you please contribute this picture to Namus..There is still no picture of her in their file.
