I wonder how long it's been there and where they would get their information?

Looks like the change to the page was made on August 13, 2016. Not sure what the meaning of it is for that site, though.

Edit: The person who made the update was the founder of the Wikia page. Messaged him to see if there was additional information.

Hi everyone. I have spent the last couple of days reading this thread and had an observation, not sure what good it might be though.

IIRC it was never said what she was strangled with. Is there a possibility that the buckskin jacket she was wearing had some type of cord / leather string through the eyelets? If it did it could have been thin enough not to show marks on the PM pic. Just a thought.

It is possible, and welcome to WS!!

 

[Tulessa]

It's possible that she is from Mexico. When we were truckers, we used to cross the border frequently. You see a lot of those home made ponchos with fringes there.

In response to my query asking why the plus was added, Gourami Watcher messaged back saying:

"Isotope and pollen testing has pinpointed areas where she spent time, including where she likely grew up. The media has also covered the case heavily within the last few months."

So where do they feel she likely grew up?

Thanks, I had a feeling he was going to say that.

Thanks for the clarification.

Look at the third last page in this online case file (warning: postmortem pics from a different case at link http://www.wmctv.com/link/693170/john-and-jane-doe-case-file?clienttype=generic&mobilecgbypass )

Possibly an unreported missing teen. I googled the letter writer's name and see possible ties to Illinois or Arizona.

Height, age, weight would all fit.

A long shot, but thought I'd share!

 

[NibblerGP]

The Jane doe from that case had a tattoo, BS girl didn't have any tattoos, IIRC.

 

[Alleykins]

I saw that on the Blytheville thread and asked about that because I couldn't find a case for the MP mentioned. I've been trying to find out if she's been found; I was thinking of BG when I saw her picture.

 

[Tssiemer]

Kim Phelps had a tattoo??

Great minds think alike I couldn't find anything more about her either. I found a link in Google books search confirming Illinois as a location for CMF (the letter writer) in the 60s.

The theory here was that BSG might be Kim Phelps, who was mentioned and pictured by another investigator further on in the link.

Her eyes REALLY look like BSG's.

Her eyes REALLY look like BSG's.

I agree.

I agree on the eyes. Less sure about chin.

She went missing at 14? So sad. Hopefully she was found and that's why we don't know anything about her. I don't come up with a Kim Phelps with that birthday on a DOB search but if she was found she probably grew up, got married, etc. Still, worth following up. Wish we could narrow down the area in Illinois where she might have been from.

 

[anonymess]

Maybe the newspaper can tell us the city of origin for that letter?

 

[Dogface]

I feel like I found Kim Phelps on Facebook, under a married name.
