Yes they did but LE dug at the site where the dogs indicated and nothing was found. Maybe archeologists could find more? Though i believe LE sieved the soil fairly well.
LEA and Search and Rescue re-excavated what was believed to be the original burial site; they barely scraped the surface on the other areas that the dogs gave trained final responses on. I DEFINITELY think we need to get a forensic archaeologist involved and spend some serious time out there!
If you look at Sherry Jean Pickle's profile, FCJD is now listed there: The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
Agree! I've emailed Dr. Vance, NamUs and the Cold Case Coalition of Utah numerous times to see if the two could be compared; nothing has ever come of it. I will keep trying!
I would say that Nancy's resemblance to FCJD is striking. This really should be investigated and if it doesn't match at least Nancy Perry Baird is added to the FCJD exclusion list at NamUs.
I followed up with Dr. Vance on this and all she could say at this point is that Nancy cannot be excluded at this point and she is on the list of possible candidates.
I had an email exchange with Dr. Vance about this; she assured me that she has listed both of them as exclusions under UP11902 and that when she reviewed both of their cases, UP11902 is listed under their exclusions, as well. What we think is going on is that the edits she has made need to be approved by NamUs before going live to the public and we don't know how long that might take.
She absolutely resembles the sketch and appears to have perfect teeth, too, like the UID.
As an update - I have now reached out to Dave Cawley from the Cold podcast as he recently did an episode on Nancy and was able to see Nancy's investigative files. He recommended I reach out to a case analyst for Utah's Dept of Public Safety to see if she can provide any more information. I've done this so, we'll see what happens!
Just want to say thank you for bringing this case to attention! Because of Jason and the FCJD Taskforce she was given a forensic image that led me to her case! I find it so interesting that no one really considered my missing mother, who was wearing the SAME clothing as FCJD. Also interesting that Dr Vance claimed no photos exist, yet the Taskforce has them? What else does Oregon “not have” in this case? No death certificate. No final disposition of the remains.
I WILL give my mother her name back. Despite Oregon trying to quietly dispose of her in 1990.
You are right about that!
The photos do not show a front cap. This is just one of many errors in this case. Do you see Patricia Otto mentioned anywhere in the FCJD file? No. But they did a rule out in 1978. Why no documentation of this?From the files a couple of women were mentioned as a possibility. Ruled out on dentals is Melanie D. Flynn.
Two other women are mentioned Lauri Clausen and Dana Lou Sanchez.... @JasonFutchLakeCityFL , maybe I missed it but did this pend out? Interesting in the filed information there is mentioning of the extensive dental work including a front cap. Sorry if I missed that earlier in all the information....it feels new to me. Do they mean her front teeth were capped? I'm not familiar with dental charts and the terminology used. My imagination produces an image of the cap....but I'm not sure it's accurate. Can you, somebody, help me out?
I am not relying on my memory but the facts in the case. I can line my mother’s X-ray up with the autopsy photos. The face they created with the skull was what led me to this previous rule out. I had no idea all the other facts matched my mother’s description too! And I clearly remember my father strangling her that night. My statement is also documented in a 1976 police report.
Why would Oregon willingly admit they were wrong? Think of the liability if rule outs are proven to be incorrect?
There is no actual evidence the Doe was carrying a full term fetus. No photos, X-rays or measurements to confirm gestational age.
My mother’s X-ray was done in 1975, she disappeared August 31, 1976.
Correct. I have the documentation to show this medical examiner was clearly describing another Doe’s dentals. He contradicts what he documented and what can be seen on the autopsy photos. She clearly has three ERUPTED wisdom teeth and minimal dental work.
