Bumping for Elizabeth, today is her birthday.
Oh my goodness, so she was alive for nearly a year after she was last seen, and during that time she got pregnant and lost the baby. What a terribly sad situation. I’m glad Elizabeth has now been found and I hope they are able to find her killer and get justice for her.BREAKING: Authorities just announced they have matched Elizabeth's DNA to a young female's body found in Tennessee in 1985.
NEW HAMPSHIRE MISSING PERSON IDENTIFIED AS GREENE COUNTY HOMICIDE VICTIM
TBI AGENTS ASKING FOR PUBLIC’S HELP TO LOCATE HER KILLER
JOHNSON CITY – The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is asking for the public’s help in providing information about a homicide that took place more than 30 years ago.
On April 14, 1985, the body of a young female was found partially decomposed along Interstate 81 in Greene County near Exit 44. TBI Special Agents joined the Greene County Sheriff’s Office in investigating the case, which was ruled a homicide. Autopsy results revealed the victim died approximately three weeks before her body was discovered. Authorities were unable to determine the identity of the victim, and she was listed as a Jane Doe.
As a result of the ongoing investigation, a sample of the victim’s remains was submitted to the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification (UNTCHI) in 2006. A DNA profile for the victim was developed and entered into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) in hopes that she would eventually be identified. This week, investigators finally received the news they were waiting for when the UNTCHI confirmed there was a match to the DNA profile. The victim was identified as 17-year-old Elizabeth Lamotte, who was missing from New Hampshire. Lamotte was last seen in November of 1984, but it wasn’t until last year that detectives with the Manchester Police Department in New Hampshire located members of her family and obtained DNA samples from them. Those samples were submitted to CODIS, which ultimately resulted in Elizabeth Lamotte being identified.
At this time, the investigation remains active and ongoing. TBI Special Agents are asking for the public’s help to develop new leads in the case. Anyone with information regarding Elizabeth Lamotte’s murder, specifically knowledge about individuals she may have been with in the days before she died, is asked to call the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND (1-800-824-3463).
I know, right? You would think that two cases that have been on WS for so long respectively, most likely is not a match, but here we areRest in peace Elizabeth. I honestly would have never guessed that she was connected to the Tennessee Jane Doe.

Food for thought: We would probably have ruled her out anyway, since Elizabeth had a tattoo and Jane Doe had "No identifiable marks noted." Then there's that whole year between disappearance and discovery...
Soooo.. she was thought to be the victim of one serial killer, but turned out to be a possible victim of another..? *shivers*There is some interesting info here from the local NH news station. She was found due to the Bob Evans case investigation, though the connection they were pursuing turned out not to be there.

Only one serial killer is mentioned if I read it correctly, Bob Evans aka Terry Peder Rassmussen. Even though no connection there at least her case have been reopened and DNA submitted due to that case.
I am still in a bit of shock about all this. Must be especially hard news for the family. She passed only 5 month after disappearing.
I think the Charley Project link to the TN Jane Doe said they originally thought she was a victim of the redhead murders.
To clear things up, I was refering to the Redhead murders (thank you, jessr927!). Gourami has already updated the Wikipedia article Redhead murders - WikipediaOnly one serial killer is mentioned if I read it correctly, Bob Evans aka Terry Peder Rassmussen.
Ahh, thank you, I have missed that.
(Off topic - Btw, Charley Project does not list Jane/John Doe cases, only missing people cases).
Someone in other case was complaining about accuracy of isotope testing. In this case is listed - "Isotope analysis indicated the victim was not originally from Tennesee but had likely been born in the Eastern part of the country and moved to the Midwest or Southwest after a few years." So also here, not that accurate.
