Identified! FL - Sarasota Co., WhtFem 426UFFL, 30-45, breast implants, Feb'07 - Jeana Burrus *husband POI*

[Hoss569]

I'm akin to thinking that the Ancestry details were input by a family member after she was identified. Jan-Jun 2006 being the timeframe of their last contact with her/last known alive. She was recovered in 2007. Her family cared.

Her poor son.

I see the husband is remarried - I'd be interested to know if he ever had her declared deceased after she "disappeared". If he did not, that's just one more sign for the authorities that they've got their eyes on the right POI because he knew she'd never come back to call him out for polygamy.

If he did remarry it could be assumed that they took his word for already being married on the certificate. But I wonder how the IRS handles it, was she employed? I guess your filing jointly, then all of a sudden filing separately, then a couple years later back to filing jointly with someone else...

edit: I mean not being already married on the new certificate

He could have gone through the motions of a divorce by publication, which is what you do when your spouse is nowhere to be found.

Don't implants have a serial number on them to match them to a certain doctor then you could go from Doctor to patient and find out if Melissa was a patient?

Every breast implant has a lot number and a serial number associated with it. The lot number reflects the batch of breast implants (including the filling material) produced at a certain time. In addition to the lot number, a unique serial number is also associated with each breast implant.

IMO, this part is damning - despite likely being circumstantial - from this article. :

i wondered why they mentioned where his work was located. thats why.

The systems don’t talk. The IRS doesn’t care. People get divorced and remarried all the time. The assume it’s legit and you only have to provide proof if I you are audited.

When you apply for a marriage license, whether you have to provide documentation depends on your location.
Clark County (Vegas) NV:
If you were divorced, had an annulment, or are widowed and do not know the exact date, enter a date that is closest to your recollection.
We do not need to see a copy of the divorce decree unless it grants you the ability to use a name that is different from what is on your current valid government issued photo ID.
We do not need to see a copy of a death certificate if you are widowed.

Sadly I think this will be a tough case to get a conviction. It’s presumed the husband killed her, but would there be any evidence left?

Their poor son, I hope he’s in therapy. It must be brutal growing up thinking your mom abandon you, only to discover as an adult your dad killed your mom. So now he’s a young adult with no parents, presumably. I’d imagine he’s severed ties with his dad.

Hello All,​

SaraJane Doe’s NamUs page remains down and I’m bursting with curiosity and hope that they’ve got a solid match.

In 2020 WS member Minnesara posted that they had made a contact in the ME office for Sarasota to inquiry about DNA, and I’ve quoted part of their message below.

I’ve messaged Minnesara to let them know I’m posting this and to ask if they had any news, however, I fear he/she is no longer active.

Anyone want to reach out to the ME contact info they provided?
It’s not my wheelhouse but I know there’s lots of experienced folks out there who might try. TIA!

Jul 29, 2020 I wrote to the Medical Examiner last night asking “Could you tell me if any attempt has been made to run familial DNA on her?” Their very brief response today was:
Yes, the Sarasota Sheriff's Office is having that done.

Thank you.
