The
Illinois State Police are investigating the death of an unidentified female whose skeletal remains were found on Interstate 70 at the Casey, Illinois exit (Route 49) on October 18, 2013.
Officials report the deceased, described as a white female in her 20s or 30s with black hair, 53 tall, about 140 pounds and had no tattoos.
Anyone with information regarding the possible identity of Jane Doe is asked to contact the Illinois State Police in Effingham, Illinois at (217) 342-7853

I got a message from a friend with a picture and the link to a news article about this Jane Doe ....

Then I saw this article ....

I contacted the Illinois State Police and told them about Jessie and they set out to compare
Jessie's NamUs info with
Jane Doe's NamUs info
And I contacted Det. Dave Molnar, the detective on Jessie's case. He told me he would get back to me.
+++++
Then the media interest started.
First I did a Skype interview with CBC Halifax, Nova Scotia.
VIDEO ... September 29, 2014.

Body of woman with N.S. ties may have been found in Illinois.
This morning, I saw this article ...
Has Jessie Foster been found?
Then the Metro Calgary Newspaper interviewed me for this article ...
Body of Jane Doe found in Illinois fuels hope of learning missing Calgary girls fate
+++++
Then I got this message from Det. Molnar ... They put the DNA through and there was not a hit, They are going to make sure and do it again.... Dave.
+++++
And this was in Metro's article ... Master Sgt. Ryan Shoemaker told Metro Tuesday the likelihood of it being Fosters body has diminished after it was learned their DNA samples, both of which had been entered into a national database, didnt match.
The descriptors (between Foster and the Jane Doe) aren't quite the same, he added. Were still looking into it.
+++++
So, again we had a couple of days of wonder ... and I know this will not be the last time, but it is better than no tips, no leads, no nothing.
+++++
Then, right after all this, I get a call from MSNBC Sex Slaves in America documentary series. They are finally ready to include Jessie's case in their show.
THANK YOU GOD, FOR KEEPING JESSIE'S STORY ALIVE IN THE EYES AND EARS OF SO MANY PEOPLE. AMEN.
