Case History
On December 6th, 1995 a surveyor attempting to locate marking stakes located a complete set of skeletal remains in the wooded area adjacent to Courts Plus health club on Marine Boulevard, US Highway 17 in Jacksonville, North Carolina.
Jacksonville, N.C. is the home of Camp Lejeune Marine Corp Base and Marine Corps Air Station. There are approximately 30,000 United States Marines that reside in and around Jacksonville and Camp Lejeune. Total population is around 70,000.

This is weird. Does she look a little hispanic?
What does

"The department has not ruled the death a homicide because there was little evidence."
Are they kidding?

I looked through New York and the closest I came to someone to compare was Evelyn Henriquez
http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/967dfny.html

Evelyn is listed as Hispanic.
I wonder if the coins are even the victims.

How about this one, guys? This lady is from the town near where I grew up.

Looks like her. Has prominent two front teeth. Probably not her since it seems they suspect that Linda is dead, and they are looking at the ex husband, and Minnesota is kinda far. Any opinions?

 

[Babyslims]

I came across this missing female, Karen Denise Wells some things match up, some things don't .I figured i'd toss her link up here just incase!

What about this one?
http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/f/fuentes_lucy.html
I think she resembles the sketch.
The height is 1" shorter than the low range.
She wore glasses and earrings. Her earrings in the photo look like wide gold small diameter hoops.
Jacksonville, NC is a little over half way between NY and FL. If it's her she was there 3 summers, unless she was in Jacksonville, NC for a while before she died. Jacksonville has a large military base. It would be interesting to know if the man she was with had ties to the military.
I'd love to view Fuentes dentals. How could I do that? This is my first time suggesting, I'm probably in left field, but I want to learn, LOL? Please tell me what you think.
thanks, Jen

Her face is much narrower, and her chin is pointier

This one looks interesting as a possible. Karen's facial shape is pretty close. Their eyes, nose, mouth and chin are similar proportionally, and she has similar looking teeth. Her face looks too round in the color photo, but looks about right in the B&W straight-on (without glasses) photo.

However, her blonde hair doesn't match, and there is no indication in "skeletal findings" that the UID had ever given birth.

The logistics are a problem too. She was last seen in Carlisle PA, and her car was abandoned about 20 miles north of there. That doesn't jibe with a body found over 500 miles to the opposite direction. You would have to get pretty creative to try to come up with a scenario that would fit logistically.

Lucy doesn't appear to me to be a match.

The logistics are plausible, and her New York connection corresponds to the subway tokens in the UID's pocket.

But her teeth don't appear to be abnormally out of alignment, and her face is shaped differently.

 

[Donjeta]

Here's a woman from NY missing since 1993. Her age and height match and her nose reminds me of the reconstruction. Not sure about the hair and the logistics are a mystery, the little information that there is doesn't give the impression that she planned to travel anywhere. Suppose she could have been abducted, transported and dumped.

Does Ms Fuentes's photo look a bit distorted to anybody else? All her features seem to sit a bit crookedly in her face. It reminds me of the photograph in a workplace ID card I used to have which was scanned funny somehow so that my face was flattened and the features a bit twisted.

 

[webrocket]

The first face of the 4 at the Doe profile looks Puerto Rican to me. What I find interesting is that they found a hotel key and they tracked down which hotel and room number but:

No one was registered to the room at the time she would have gone missing, and nothing was recorded as being left in the room at the time.

unless the room was never rented out, how could LE conclude (without an actual date) that she was not registered there? unless the place is a complete fleabag motel, they would have to have records for each room, who checked in, how the room was paid for etc.

If they are confident in their time range, (i.e. probably 2 summers before Dec 1995) then ANYONE who rented that room from about Oct 1993 to June 1994 was either the UID, a friend or family of the UID, or the killer of the UID.

am I reading this wrong?

 

[TripleA]

Or the hotel room was being rented on an hourly basis for cash.

that's a possibility. you'd think for the sake of clarity that the report would have said something like "hotel did not possess detailed records of who rented the room" or "it was impossible to determine who rented the room during the period of time she died".

 

[Donjeta]

Estimated Date of Death: Less than 2 years prior to discovery. Probably 2 summers.

Investigators checked hotels in the area before finding the match to the key found with her. No one was registered to the room at the time she would have gone missing, and nothing was recorded as being left in the room at the time.

Huh? The estimated time of death is so unexact, but for some reason the room was empty all the time that was "probably two summers ago"? Did the motel undergo renovations or something?

The only exclusion on the list is Patricia Leventhal

 

[Julessleuther]

This is a possible...

Many people from CT travel to NYC all the time.

The hotel might well have records that told them when the set of keys went missing. If the keys were missing but nobody was registered to the room, that sounds like somebody stole the keys off the rack.

I'm not saying this woman was a hooker, but snagging a key off a rack while the clerk is distracted is a fairly common skill for small-town prostitutes to have; if the place is trying to keep a decent reputation for other sorts of customers, they often won't rent by the hour. (Years back, my then-SIL got fired from a motel clerk job for letting a local hooker sneak a key once too often. Turned out the woman was giving the janitor a freebie, and he was grabbing the keys for her, and SIL got the job back...but I digress.)

Did I miss something here? Why are we looking for hispanic women?

I only commented that the first composite looked Puerto Rican to me. I assume the others are trying to match NYC area missing women to the general description of the UID.

Thanks, that makes sense. She does look a bit Hispanic. I thought maybe I was missing something in the Namus or Doe files...

 

[Julessleuther]

I was looking for women from NY/NJ/CT (tri-state area) who had similar facial features.

She was just added to Charley Project today .

The facial shape is spot-on. The height is quite a bit off though (RV: 5'1", UID: 5'5" - 5'8")

Here's the UID's DoeNet casefile again:

[Wanting2Help]

I've stayed in hotels in Jacksonvile on my 1st trip there. Never again. Especially on the weekends.

On the weekends (some of) the Marines that are stationed at Lejeune rent rooms in town to get off the base and party. It is kind of crazy. They do rent rooms by the hour there and its not unusual to see 30 people in a room. A lot of them just open the doors and travel from room to room and party all night long. It gets pretty loud/ rowdy . I can very easily see how this person could end up with a room key that didn't "belong" to her, and it doesnt necessarily mean she was a prostitute. There is a lot of under age drinking there as well.

I stayed in a hotel there with my young niece and we were scared to death. We ended up having our door almost kicked in because they wanted us to come out and party with them. I didn't dare to open the door to get in the car to leave and we couldn't even call the front desk for help because the phones were disconnected. Very scary! (Not all hotels in Jacksonville are like that, they do have some nice reputable ones)
