I thought that was an arrow, indicating that it was that Caroline's phone number.They told mew they have done everything that can be done with the phone number. But why is there a G infront of the first Caroline on the note?
If his name was Jason, they must have left the note somewhere (where?) for him, because they wouldn't have written his name on the note if he was standing next to them.
Maybe someone else gave him the note from them, if his name was indeed Jason.
Maybe he was going to give the note to someone else named Jason?
Maybe he was wearing someone elses jeans?
Maybe he took the note knowing that it was for someone else?
So many questions!

"Just spoke to Caroline T. ~ Caroline O - I will call tonight. Name was Jason. Hair Blonder than depicted. Shoulder Length. Very high on something. Not chatty but friendly. Alone. No backpack or bag. Blue eyes. Colorful shirt. Face looks like reconstruction, hair lighter. After concert all 3 walked to what she remembered to be a golf course with hundreds of other concert goers. Jason fell asleep, girls left at 7:00 am when sun was rising and left him that note in case he found himself in that area again - they wanted him to look them up. No accent that she could remember. That's it. Thinks he was heading to another concert."

If you read my interview with the detective, you will find that the news reports that the note was in the John Doe's pocket are incorrect. It was found outside the vehicle, per the detective, and may not even be connected to the case.
can you link me to the interview? playing catch up

hi, all.
i am new to the site so please excuse any mistakes!
i have been following this case since i first saw it on unsolved mysteries. i recently got back into looking into it when the new likeness of jason doe that came out earlier this year.
when cases are so hard to crack, i often wonder if some of the "facts" of the case that we are working from are wrong. this brings me to the note found with jason.
i have always heard and read that the note reads, at the end:
Caroline T.
and
Caroline O
i have studied the note and i think this is not what it reads. i believe it reads:
Caroline T.
and
Caroline D
when i look at the note (linked below) i notice this about the O/D after the second "Caroline":
- it seems to have a vertical portion on the left.
- the vertical portion is the "closed" with an arc from top to bottom.
this is not how any of the other "o's" on the note are made. in other words in the note like "to" and "go," the writer seems to trace over part of the letter in order to continue to the next letter. they seems to write from 7 or 8 o'clock to 12 back counterclockwise past 6 past 12 and then on to the next letter, if that makes sense.
so, i took the best resolution image of the note that i could find (here) and i showed it to a handwriting expert who has over 25 years experience in handwriting analysis, question documents, forgery, etc. this person had never heard of the case, had never seen the note, etc.
i did NOT tell this person what i thought the note read or what conventional wisdom thought it read (Caroline O). i simply said, take a look and tell me what you think the "signatures" on the bottom are.
the expert said that it read: Caroline D
i've spoken to the medical examiner's office. they do not have the note as it resides with the state police, as far as they know. they do not have a higher resolution copy of it.
do any of you know of a higher res image? i am guessing the images we have seen on the web are from the unsolved mysteries episode.
the handwriting expert is happy to look at the note again if we find a better image.
forgive me if this has been discussed before. i haven't seen mention of it anywhere on the web.
i look forward to your comments and insights.
