I wonder if anyone has worked on Ancestry that would provide any clarity on the branches of the family tree. I don’t have a subscription.
I've tried. They all have very common names.I wonder if anyone has worked on Ancestry that would provide any clarity on the branches of the family tree. I don’t have a subscription.
I have been working on this since it broke. What a twisted rabbit hole! I have also checked in with the Detective. What are you looking for from Ancestry?I wonder if anyone has worked on Ancestry that would provide any clarity on the branches of the family tree. I don’t have a subscription.
Perhaps a geneaology buff in the family. Maybe her children or grandchildren, or even siblings may have DNA tested, then attached their DNA to a family tree. That could lead to finding her children since that seems to be the hole in the story.I have been working on this since it broke. What a twisted rabbit hole! I have also checked in with the Detective.

Gotcha. They have located all the other step and half-siblings but these.Perhaps a geneaology buff in the family.

I hope they're just having trouble contacting them and that they're ok...Looks like I cannot edit.
They all left Tucson in 195.
Donna Liindhurst gave a ‘cryptic’ message to her grandparents in 1969 that somehow connected to St Petersburg FL.
Kimberly would be 9 in 1969 when her mother was found, and Donna would be 24ish.
the sister had called around 68 or 69 thinking the brother had been killen in Vietnam and left a message at the grandparents house. it's in the video of the official press conference at around 24 minutes St. Pete ‘trunk lady’ murder victim identified after 53 years, search continues for her 2 daughtersI wonder especially about what happened to her younger daughter she left with. The older one apparently chose to only communicate cryptically ( perhaps out of fear?) with her grandparents and was old enough obviously to just move on with her life if bad things happened and to choose not to communicate with relatives. Not every one communicates with much younger half siblings so it could not even be significant that the older sister just kind of vanished and stopped being in touch. Maybe that's just how she chose to handle it or the was the only way she could. I hope they find out what happened to them, though.
Just bumping to keep in the light.I agree that some of the dates must be wrong. On Newspapers.com, under Public Notices for Marriage Licenses, I found a listing for Sylvia June Smith, 37, and Stuart Louis Brown, 43, both of Tucson in the May 20, 1966 edition of the Arizona Daily Star. If above mentioned woman is Sylvia June Atherton then they probably left Arizona in 1966 and not 1965.
I think that Donna L passed away in 2000. There's a family tree, but it doesn't have much more information.the sister had called around 68 or 69 thinking the brother had been killen in Vietnam and left a message at the grandparents house. it's in the video of the official press conference at around 24 minutes St. Pete ‘trunk lady’ murder victim identified after 53 years, search continues for her 2 daughters
