Anne Marie Fahey's case was pretty well documented in Ann Rule's book And Never Let Her Go. Besides the strong circumstantial evidence that Ann Marie was taken out to sea, Ann Marie was also, if I remember correctly, very tall - around 5'10 I think. That seems way too far out of the height range here.
 
I have a ? Is this still an unsolved case I am new at this and not sure how to find out if it is...

Yes. She is listed on "NAMUS"... A database of missing and unidentified persons. I'm sorry I don't have a link but you can Google it.

Link in post #123 in this thread.

There are updates to the ruleouts but it's a long list. So many things I'm trying to get to...

I got to looking into Samuel Little’s unmatched victims a little more closely and one woman, said to have been picked up in Cleveland Ohio, murdered and her body dumped in Northern Kentucky (unspecific town although Covington is listed in this link).
Samuel Little: Confessions of a Killer | Federal Bureau of Investigation

Not expecting to find anything relevant, I decided to browse through UIDs who fit within the somewhat vague description Little gave authorities. It was actually the hand drawn photo of what his victim looked like that he provided to investigators and the reconstruction image of Shively Jane Doe that caused me to want to dig further.

Jane Doe, unmatched victim of Samuel Little


I didn’t see this missing person listed among those who had been excluded as being JD or having previously been discussed on this thread. What about Lea Anna Allen – The Charley Project ?

Last seen in Cincinnati, Ohio on March 16, 1982. Circumstances are as vague as can be, the usual “last seen on ___ in ___, little information is known/available”. Her other information fits within the ranges provided for JD; She was 33 years old (20-40 years old, estimated), stood about 5 feet 2 inches tall (within 1 inch of the estimated 5 feet 3 inches and 5 feet 5 inches of JD) and 135 pounds. Brown hair that looks, in her photos, to be kept short to medium length (similar to JD).

Jane Doe, Lea Anna, Lea Anna

I struggled with the resemblance for awhile - I just didn’t see it based on these two photos (especially the one where her head is tilted slightly upward) of Lea Anna - then I saw the full body photo of her on NamUs and I really saw the likeness! I see the ‘distinct slender nose’. Not to mention the other proportions of her facial features.

According to family, taken not too long prior to the missing date

Now, I understand the PMI, and Little’s recollection of the murder, should make for an automatic rule out with this one - JD’s earliest year of death estimated at 1990, Lea Anna missing in 1982, and Little remembering the murder occurring in 1984....... but is there any possibility for a match???

I dunno. They do all look like they could be the same woman.

We've had PMI's be wildly off before, and the older the remains, the more likely they are to be off.

Most of the articles about Little and his victims mention that his memory for dates is erratic, though in other areas it's very accurate. He could be off by a couple of years. The circumstances and geography are certainly compelling.

I know! :confused: The PMI is really holding me up!

Hahahahaha...OMG. You rock!!
 
This seemed far fetched even by my standards...until I read more about her disappearance. There is just something about her...

You're right, this is out there even by your standards :D

She went missing in 1945 at age 33. Even if you assume a very long post-mortem interval, she would have been 75 in 1985. Or are you thinking that the post-mortem interval could be decades? I suppose that's possible and there is a lot of resemblance. Hmmm. After Mr. Loveless, I suppose we can't rule it out on just that.

LOL...I may have hit rock bottom :p...
No, I actually thought of you and Mr. Loveless when considering this one! The “nose talk” on Denim’s thread yesterday, and you mentioning the tip of the nose changing, I got to thinking about some of the threads I’ve seen where CarlK explained comparisons and things like that. (I really do pay attention and sincerely want to learn).

Then I decided to search Facebook (which I never do) for missing people in Kentucky. For some reason a post about Mary Jane was on one of the KY group pages and a detective was describing her and how her kids/grandkids were still actively searching for her or answers after all this time.

That intrigued me to begin with simply because I know how crucial and rare that often is when it comes down to DNA and potential comparisons. Then I saw her photo and thought “she has a slender nose”. After seeing the other photos of her, all that stuff Carl (and others) had described, suddenly made sense to me! I realized exactly what that meant in Shively’s case particularly.

I could focus less on the physical “narrowness” and visualize what that would look like if I were seeing only a skull. This is all completely irrelevant, but might raise my standards so to speak. ;)

Mr. Loveless is a prime example. I certainly don’t believe Mary Jane lived to see 1985, unfortunately I don’t think she even saw 1946. There are just so many variables in this UID’s case that leave the door open for otherwise unlikely scenarios. IMO. Shively already has so many listed rule-outs, especially for a relatively newer case.

Because I think we can afford to do so in this case, I asked myself this: if not for the estimated PMI being what it is, could these two be a match? I answered myself, “Yes!”. I didn’t follow the case of Mr. Loveless, but if I understand correctly his partial remains were discovered in 1979 and 1991 and his PMI was listed at 5 years? Come to find out he likely died before 1920?!

So, in short, yes I do think the PMI could be decades. :cool:

Hm, you make a very good case. (And I love your out of the box ideas!) And she has been compared to a UID found in 1985, so I don't think they're wedded to a time frame.

I would suggest sending the info about this Jane Doe to the detective on Mary Jane's case, if there's contact information on the Facebook discussion. They're the one most likely to be motivated to look into it and not dismiss it out of hand.
