FL FL - Broward Co., WhtFem Skeletal 757UFFL, 46-60, silver wedding band, Nov'86

Maybe I am having a blonde moment, but what does diamond chips mean?

Diamond chips are small pieces of broken diamonds. Some people use diamond chips to describe very small faceted diamonds (though they are not the same thing) also called melee.

Here is an example of what would be considered diamond chips in a band.

Also just noticed something, on Namus the age is listed as 46-60 instead of 60-70... There is also no indication of how long the remains had been there.

Interesting how they feel she may have been asphyxiated - with skeletal remains. Was there a plastic bag over the head? Cord around neck?

Usually the hyoid bone is broken in the neck, but not always. http://www.markwynn.com/wp-content/uploads/death-by-strangulation.pdf

Diamond chips are hard to see...and actually may require a magnifying glass to see..They are tiny remnants of broken diamonds..as they were not faceted they usually do not sparkle..Overtime they may have fell out...If this is indeed Irene..chances are the diamond ring was taken...

I think Irene is an very possible match....Great research..!

I called and left a message with another detective, I will follow up with both today!

Thanks for clarifying diamond chips for me. I have tried to research the stamp on it, have learned way to much about makers marks not to have a more definitive answer on it, but I did email an expert in the field, just to see if they may have a guess on time period of the ring and the stamp, however, if it was a lesser known jeweler it wouldn't likely be known.

Are age discrepancies between namus and doe network common?

I just off the phone with Det. Ortiz with MDPD, and Irene Matheson has been ruled out and is reflected in NAMUS as of today. I did some snooping and thought the same thing, that Matheson coud be the UID. MDPD says thanks to all for trying!

 

[JasonFutchLakeCityFL]

At first, I initially left a message with the person on the UID's case a month ago, but I never got a response. Then I went into the Matheson file to see who was the agency in charge, which was Miami-Dade Police. I couldn't really get ahold of anyone until I decided to go on the MDPD's Facebook page and left a message on one of their posts. I got a call back from Detective T.C. Ortiz on 11/10/15 and we spoke for about 45 minutes on the case. Then today (11/11/15), she called me at 9:30AM PST to inform me that the match was compared with DNA and that it was not Irene Matheson.

Nice work, Jason and everybody else.

Thanks Carbuff! Happy to be able to help!

 

[Puzzled27]

Is there a thread just for Irene Matheson? I can't find one.

 

[carbuff]

Two ruleouts: Irene Matheson and Elizabeth Rogers.

Sadly this Namus case hasn't been updated since 2015, which makes it unlikely that there are any more ruleouts than the 2 listed in the post above this one.

Just adding a name to the list doesn't always trigger a change to the updated date. But you're right, no new names.

This woman was very likely killed by a spouse, at her age and wearing a wedding ring. If the supposed initials were hers or her husband's I'm surprised he didn't dispose of the ring elsewhere. But initials can be hard to trace.

They have DNA on her, but so many years later, she remains nameless. She may well have been never reported missing. Maybe she was estranged from her family.
