Identified! OH - North Bend, 'Pearl Lady' 606UFOH, 55-75, Nov'06 - Barbara Precht

[Roselvr]

Patricia Mast is now in Namus. interesting finding. Patricia had what was described as an abdominal scar while the UID had what was described as "Abdominal straie (stretch marks)". if Patricia had a real scar from say a surgical procedure that would presumably be a rule out if the only marks on the UID were stretch marks.

otherwise there are still no dentals or DNA to compare the two.

I would submit because some scars heal to resemble stretch marks. It's a genetic defect. Has to do with a connective tissue disorder. I like the ears too

Patricia was submitted by DippyBlonder.

there is the issue of eye color. the UID's eyes were presumably hazel although the M.E. was not absolutely certain of that due to some clouding of the corneas. Patricia's eyes were blue.

Guess I missed that. IMO; it would be good to submit & get her name on the exclusions.
There are a lot of things that look close.

Well, the plot thickens. Got a call from Ms. Adamo's investigator today. Apparently Ms. Adamo has had no dental work done and she has no surgical scars, she also thinks there is a good resemblance and is going to request DNA from Pearl. One thing I had noticed (it probably doesn't mean a thing) is Ms. Adamo went missing just before a holiday, and Pearl was found just after a holiday.
So we'll see what happens.

Sheila Adamo

She's not listed on the new Canada's missing & is not listed as ruled out for Pearl. I still feel she was a good submission too

I just found and read this thread for the first time. This MOO of what happened to Pearl.

For those of you that read the thread about the VA Beach Burger King John doe, I think that like him, somewhere in the area where Pearl was found is an apartment that appears abandoned.

I think Pearl was a lady who was not close to people- a loner of sorts. She sufered a major event in her life-the death of a close family member- her husband or child. Perhaps this was the only person she had a close relationship with and as a result she decided to commit suicide. This fits with her death being right at a major holiday, too. Look at how she was dressed. She looked like she put on her good clothing, make-up, and pearls, and jumped from a bridge.

Not having any close family or friends, her neighbors might have noticed she was gone, but didn't think much of it.

That is my take on her death. I don't believe she is someone who has been missing for years. I think she was a local, not well known for anyone to miss her.

Coming out of lurkdom for this one--

Could the Pearl Lady be Joan E. Stedrak?
http://www.missingin.org/reg6672/joan_e_stedrak.htm

Says Joan was last seen in 1976 in NJ when she joined a cult. However, there are two ID photos on the site dated from 1997 and June 2006. The 2006 photo is captioned "Indiana identification photo taken."

Joan looks thinner in the face than the Pearl Lady. But I can't get this one out of my head. What do you guys think?

Many people come down to the tri-state area (touring) go on casino riverboats. It was finally legalized in 2006. I always thought that they were allowed to go up and down the Ohio; but found out it wasn't completely true a couple years ago. I want to say that they're mostly stationary (The one that I was on was permanently docked.) They don't keep a "passenger-list" as it's just a public place or Casino like any other. Except for the ID check of course. To my disappointment it was completely enclosed as well. So I didn't get to stand on the deck and look out into the water. I guess it's completely possible that she could have been a reason for them to enclose it. And to prevent from being shut down, no one reported the overboard incident. JMO
But here is a list of establishments that she could have been on if in fact it was a Casino boat.

Here is Joan's Namus page--
https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/case_report_html/13014

I don't know if it's me or if it's just unclear, but this is confusing to me:

Circumstances
Subject last seen in 1976 after having joined the Circle of Friends Cult on Montclaire Univ campus.

But then it also says--

Date last seen June 01, 2006 00:00

But then one of the photos is captioned as JUNE of 2006, so that would count as the last seen? :shakehead:

Very new to the UID forum, but this case jumped out at me on the Doe Network. Would love to get some input.

UID: The "Pearl Lady"
NamUs UP # 4969
Doe Network: 606UFOH
Age: 50-75
Weight: 134 pounds
Height: 5'2" - 5'3"
Eyes: Hazel
Body: Discovered on November 29, 2006 in Northbend, Hamilton County, Ohio
Fingerprints: Taken but attempting to locate (?)
DNA: Complete

MP: Joan E. Stedrak
NamUs MP # 13014
NJ Missing Person's Archives
Age: ??
Weight: 120-140 pounds
Height: 5'3" - 5'5"
Eyes: Hazel
Last Seen: June 1, 2006
Missing From: Pennsauken NJ-- however, she had an Indiana ID photo taken on June 6, 2006.
Fingerprints: Not available
DNA: Sample submitted, tests not complete


Apparently Joan joined a cult named Circle of Friends in 1976 and went missing. However, she did have DMV photos taken in 1997 and 2006. Her 2006 ID was issued in Indiana.

I am a little unsure about Joan's age in 2006. I couldn't find a birth date, just "last seen" ages. Namus says she would be 57 now, but I think the NJ Missing Person's page is stating that she was 35 when last seen alive, in 1976? Just not sure.

Hi all, I first joined this site over a year and a half ago and have been following this case (mostly logged out) since first hearing about it on our local radio stations. Like many of you, I've been nearly obsessed with the details of the case - but I didn't feel I had anything offer - specific to the case.

One small thing that I have found - was really just an oversight on Pearl's NAMUS report and I reported it to the Namus case manager.

The report says that her black blouse was a brand named "Coventry." However, if you click on the image of the blouse and zoom in - it is actually "Covington." A brand sold largely by Sears and JC Penny at the time.

Like many of you, I have spent many hours trying to match photos of missing persons from all over the planet to this lady whose body was found and I believe I have a match that is not one of the ladies already listed here or on the exclusions list of her Namus report.

I am wait to hear back from the police and the Ohio - Hamilton County Coroner - before I share the details if that is okay.

I don't want to speculate - if that missing woman has already been accounted for.

More information soon! :seeya:

 

[Chuz Life]

I'm so anxious about this possible connection, I am having a tough time waiting for a response from the police department involved.

I'm hoping that by sharing the images, some here can tell me your thoughts Without me having to reveal too much information about the woman reported missing. I'm trying to not generate any more false leads. So, I'm only hoping for comments on the likeness aspects of their images.

Thank you!

 

[killarney rose]

Striking.....

 

[ArianeEmory]

Looks feasible to me.

 

[annemc2]

Shape of face, ears look very similar to me. Also the small brown mark on the left side of neck. At first I thought the missing woman had a cleft chin but looking more closely I think it's artifact?

Most striking is the nose/nares. The left side seems to flare a bit more than the right. I'd seen this mentioned on another possible match earlier on the thread but it seems very pronounced on this woman and was the first thing I noticed.

It looks like this woman is wearing one earring? IIRC it's unclear whether or not Pearl had pierced ears.

What do you think about the eyebrows? They appear thicker in the missing woman, but that could be because Pearl's brow pencil came off while she was in the water. The missing woman could have developed hypothyroidism or another condition which causes the eyebrows to thin after the photograph by the pool was taken.

CARL! What say ye?!

Oh Boy, I thought I had been more careful than that.

I should have caught that - especially if she was already excluded.

If she was considered before but since ruled out? My apologies for not seeing that.

I think I'll review the entire thread again.

Thanks.

 

[annemc2]

Sorry! Clarification - I'd seen someone mention that the UID and a *different* possible match had the one flared nostril.

So it wasn't new that there might be one flared nostril but your proposed match is definitely a new one!

So, what are the details here?

 

[ArianeEmory]

(Is it normal not to post a suspected match?)

(Is it normal not to post a suspected match?)

Usually people post the details so we can take a look at it and give feedback.

 

[Chuz Life]

So, what are the details here?

I don't know if it is wise (or even okay) for me to give all of the details yet, Mandiedq.

I'm still waiting on the police department's permission to do that. I can tell you that the lady pictured with the "Pearl Lady" was reported missing in September, 2006. That she's not near as old as Pearl lady was suspected as being (though the images match)... and the lady reported missing suffers from DID.
