I was gonna do some sleuthing on Namus but I know you can’t search by date of birth for the missing persons. So there’s not really any way of telling. This girl’s one of my pet cases. As crazy as it is I’d call her a friend!
I talk to her, tell her how much I care about her case and want to help her get her name back! I’m about the same age as her as I too am in my late teens.
I’ve had dreams about this girl. I see some Does from cases I focus on a lot in my dreams in hopes that they are ID’d. Even though we don’t know who she really is, in my dreams she calls herself Lisa, as that was just a super ultra common name the year that she was born, 1961. She also just looks like a Lisa to me. I know that is probably not her name but still. It would be crazy if I was right, huh?!
Okay, now on a more serious note. I think that these two are full o’ bull about not remembering the girl’s name. Normally I would say, hey, it was all the way back in 1978, they wouldn’t remember! But they absolutely did IMO.
These monsters got ahold of her birth certificate. They confirmed that they killed her on her 17th birthday because THEY SAW that date on the birth certificate. And I know damn well that they saw her name. Even if they could just give us a first name it would help. Because hey, most people introduce themselves with one name. I introduce myself like “Hey, I’m Emilia!” not “Hey, I’m Emilia MyLastName!” Unless I’m in a more professional setting.
The monsters got acquainted with her. They stopped for coffee and a bite to eat with her. They talked with her in the car. The girl told them about her guitar and how much money she spent on it. She told them where she was going and who she was going to see and why she was going to see her. She told them it was her birthday. She told them she was 17. The monsters got ahold of her stuff and looked at her birth certificate and they REMEMBERED that it was her 17th birthday because they confirmed it.
Whatever they’re claiming is a whole lotta bull. I know they definitely remembered her name. I don’t believe that this girl didn’t ever mention a name. They got acquainted enough with her that she probably introduced herself. And even if she was using an alias or something for privacy reasons, her real name is right there on that birth certificate. They knew so, so much about her yet not her name. I don’t believe that for a second.
It ticks me off to no end that they threw away her birth certificate. They threw away so much more. Her name. Her birthday. Her family. They threw HER!! away! These two are some of very few killers who really super ultra disgust me. Now of course all killers disgust me. But these two. I can’t even begin to describe them. Poor girl. Awful how she was treated after her death and in the last moments of her life.
And this one is for her: Dear GCJD, I think about you every day and I want you to know that. You may be unknown to us, but you are known. We love you and care so much about you. You’ve got hundreds, even thousands of people looking for your identity. You were loved in life, and even 45 years after your death you are still loved. I’m sure your mother is worried sick about you! I know how much she mattered to you, you probably mattered so much to her too. She loves you so much and so do we! Rest easy GCJD. Hoping that this is your year. The year we can say your true name.
