I am interested in quite a few cases, but the one that captures my attention the most, is the cali NY girl. Where did she come from? How did she come to be where she was found? Where was she going? Why did she die? Who did it? Questions that have been asked for 30 years.
Ive read the sheet on her at doenetwork. The beach is a good place to start when considering her frosted hair. I was raised near daytona beach and recall might near everyone having frosted hair, although, it was 84' or 85'. The only thing male about her manner of dress is the jacket. Everything else was popular. Cords were popular and so were flannel shirts. I recall in 1980, shoes similiar to, what the cali girl was found to be wearing but I do not recall the make. First thought would be Pumas or Kangaroos. Judging from the photo, it appears that the shoes, have what looks like two stripes at a diagonal on at least one side of the shoe. I believe it may be on both sides. If they are stripes, than I would have to say they are wingtip oxford pumas. Dont know for certain puma made wingtip oxfords, but do know for certain that puma had stripes on the side of their shoes to at least 83'. Dont know after that.
She was seen the night before at a diner in Lima. Were they taking about the night before she was killed or the night before she was found? I would venture to say the night before she was found. But, if she was seen the night before she was killed, then where was she for 24 hours? If the trucker was correct in that she stated she was heading to Boston, then where she was found was in the wrong direction to where she was going. An indication the killer was heading in that direction.
Ive looked all over the internet for girls missing during that year and before, looking for a match in California, New Mexico, Arizona and Florida. Ive also looked beyond to other states and found nothing. A few similars, but nothing I would just say this is the one. Even looked for her in Canada as was stated another possibility. I just cant help but wonder why no one would report her as missing.
I had been searching for white females between 1978 and 1980 who were 4'6 to 5'5 in height and weight with brown hair and brown eyes. Then today, I did something slightly different. Thinking she may have been abducted at an early age, I did a search from the years 1959 to 1990, adjusting for birth and allowing for the possibility that she wasnt reported for 10 years. And I limited my search to just brown eyed females, allowing for the possibility that she may have been another race other than just white.
I then came across the photo of a girl by the name of Rosana Ferrari Pandim. This girl was roughly 11 years old when she was abducted in November 1973. In 1979, it would make her roughly 17 years of age and within the 13 to 19 year age range of Cali. She has brown hair and brown eyes like the Cali girl, but there is no height and weight information to judge by. Rosana was reported missing from Brazil. Although it would be too long ago to say she had been tanning in Brazil, the location and the length of time she had been missing may be the factor to explain her poor teeth and inadequate dental care.
Ive searched webslueths and the internet for Rosanas name but found nothing on her here. I did find two sites on the internet....one that showed a picture of her at a young age and the other showing what she may look like at I believe 34. Personally, I see a match....her eyes, her nose, mouth, shape of face and location of dental. After long thought, I think I am going to report this to the authorities but may sleep on it just a bit.
Thoughts?
