Some things are off, but makes most logical sense to me out of all the missing person profiles I’ve ever searched…or she just plain could be someone reported missing back then, but the file dumped at some point like Woodlawn Jane Doe…
There was a cold case special on this years ago, and stated they were looking strongly at Alice Welch and Judith Chartier.
Height - is off, but I've seen this mistake before.
The date of remains found - states six months or more, but it's in the middle of a summer in a steam trunk...I also don't think a trunk that's visible would have been there very long without someone being curious about it...It was described as visible from the road, and back in 1982, that wouldn't have gone unnoticed...
Spondylosis – I’m pretty sure this can happen to women who ride a lot on motorcycles…Of no offense to anyone who rides motorcycles, but one thing I’ve noticed about women who spend a lot of time on the back of motorcycles is many have posterior pelvis tilts, and abnormally flat rear ends…
Location – Most of the IDs I’ve been involved with involve one state over…This road isn't a major road, mainly leads back to a lot of woods, some farms way down the road, and some houses...I can recall going to this park in 1982, and it was mainly fisherman, bikers, hikers, and locals going down the road...I believe she was found closer toward the hiking area, and many hikers walk on the roadway, so I don't think any steamer trunk would have been there for six months unless it was in the fall and buried with leaves...Winter it would stick out like a sore thumb, and summer there would be boy scouts walking by just about every weekend...
Steamer Trunk – this is personal, not something a stranger would do…
Tattoos – It wasn’t normal for women to get tattoos much at this time frame…Mainly biker type chics did this...
Teeth Condition - this one is iffy for me...22 is rather young to have all the dental work she had unless she had this as a kid...
I know the roommates name, but have never been able to find the boyfriend’s name…Also know the mother’s name, but have never been able to find Virginia’s sisters name…
Can anyone access this article? I think it has a lot more information on the case, but have never been able to find it…I’ve tried WayBackMachine and googling, but can’t pull it up…
