My friend (Cheri) from Louisville said that there's a Muslim settlement of sorts in Elizabethtown.
I think there's a "decent" size Muslim population in the E-town area. I know that there is at least one mosque (on Ring Road), maybe more.
My mom's a doctor and I work at her office. Based on the referrals made to doctors at Hardin Memorial Hospital (E-town's hospital), there are a good deal of doctors (many with near-impossible-to-spell names) that are from from the "Middle East" or India.
Radcilff is a little north of Elizabethtown near Fort Knox. The exit closest to where she was found is for the Joe Prather Hwy, which is a fairly new road that connects Fort Knox to 1-65 near Colesburg (Colesburg Rd is the "old" route) and Lebanon Junction. On I-65, from the E-town exit to the Joe Prather exit, it is a long (fairly curvy and steep for an Interstate) descent from the higher ground of central KY to what becomes the Ohio River Valley.
I know that Radcliff has a large number of foreigners/immigrants (of all shapes, sizes, colors and languages). And a lot of soldiers that live both on/off-base have their families with them. They could be married to someone from a foreign country and sometimes includes the spouse's extended family (mom/dad/bro/sis/etc) living with them or nearby.
Many "civilian" workers are needed to provide goods/services to the soldiers and their families. And a good deal of these workers are immigrants.
I've noted many area Indians (India) work in the medical field or own gas stations, mini-marts or liquor stores.
There are many Hispanics in
my area, a county east of there (actually, she was found only a few miles from the river that serves as the Nelson/Hardin Co border). They are mainly in my area for the farming jobs. I am not sure how many Hispanics there would be in E-town (a "town" vs the farmland here).
There are also immigrant populations of people from the Balkans around the Louisville area, including Hardin County.
But what I can't find (I guess I could have overlooked it) is anything that would suggest she is from either SE Asia or the Middle East, nor from Miami or Detroit for that matter.
Was it because they couldn't determine her race yet?
I mean, Snow White (and even that scary bald-headed albino guy in
Powder) would have turned black and unrecognizable were they wrapped up in something and put on a roadside with heat and humidity and rain to deal with.
