Identified! TN - Cheatham Co, WhtFem 14-20, 566UFTN, poss hitchhiker, cross bite, poor dental care, Oct'81 - Linda Sue Karnes

[CarlK90245]

This girl whom I've never heard of was just added to NamUs.

Laurie Sibrell
https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/28556/0

I can't find any photos of her. None of the high schools in Franklin Tennessee have 1977 or 1978 yearbooks in Classmates or Ancestry.

She is listed as having blonde hair, so she is probably not this Jane Doe. The Jane Doe is said to have brown hair teeth that are poorly cared for.

But her age is right, and the 2-year timeline, though a little long, not unreasonably so.

Franklin Tennessee is only about 20 miles from the southern border of Cheatham County. Since the Jane Doe was found in the county dump, she was probably dumped in a different location and transported with the trash to the county dump.

 

[justagirl247]

there are several dumps in the county the one i was thinking of is off off highway 12 also known as old ashland city highway but honestly all but 1 are very sucluded

Her last name is spelled Sibrel, and her first name possibly Lori.

There are a few yearbooks from those years up on classmates now, but I didn't find any Sibrels in them.
I found some of her (likely) relatives, (she has I think, at least one brother, two sisters and mother still around) but couldn't find what high schools they attended.
They live in California, and possibly Texas and Ohio, and the possible mother in Franklin.

Maybe someone with great social skills can contact them or the case worker for more info.

I'm very interested to see what she looks like, she has similar stats to many unidentifieds I "follow".

Whoa, 6 feet tall? Has she been suggested for Lori Ruff? I know hair color is off but teenagers do dye their hair.

Cheatham County Jane Doe has been unidentified for 37 years today.

 

[Mrs. Badcrumble]

Cheatham County Jane Doe is featured in a new exhibition hosted by The University of South Florida’s Institute of Forensic Anthropology & Applied Science (IFAAS).

New USF Art Exhibit Aims to Help Solve Cold Case Homicides
Exhibition displays consist of clay busts and drawings, digital compositions, artifacts and information about the crime scenes. Kimmerle, USF graduate students and Sgt. Sergio Soto, a forensic artist with IFAAS, created the reconstructions and exhibit. Their work is part of the ongoing statewide cold case initiative by IFAAS, for which the team conducted a number of forensic methods - such as exhuming Jane and John Doe graves for skeletal analysis, facial and clothing reconstructions, chemical isotope testing of the bones, hair and teeth, as well as DNA testing.

Case 5: Young Girl in the Woods

Composite: Erin H. Kimmerle

Hunters found the partial remains of a young white female, approximately 14 to 17-years-old while out hunting. She had straight brown hair. Her manner of death was ruled a homicide. The chemical isotope testing indicates she may not have been born, nor lived a significant amount of time in Tennessee prior to death. More likely she was born in Southern Florida or Central Texas and then resided in the Midwestern U.S. for several years prior to death.

Date of discovery: October 21, 1981
Location: Cheatham County, Tennessee

USF16-029C UT: 81-23F
NamUs: UP 1582 NCMEC:1106809

Thanks for this. Is that new info about the isotope testing? I don't think I remember reading that about her before. That's a great lead! To be honest I was so surprised that this wasn't Lori Sibrel but I guess they ruled her out.

Thank you so much for this! I didn't know about the isotope testing either. I've suspected that she was not from TN but was a hitchhiker brought into the state by a trucker. It would make sense to me that she came from West of TN along 40W.

I tried to register again, but you are required to have an American adress.. GAH! Are there any new ruleouts?

I quite like this recon. I often think that many of the reconstructions look the same, but she actually looks like someone you could remember, if you know what I mean. Kudos to Kimmerle for giving CCJD a non-generated hairstyle!

 

[carbuff]

I don't think there were any new ruleouts, but I'll double check tomorrow.

Thanks, Dorothyland!

 

[dorothyland]

Thanks, Dorothyland!

You're welcome!

I'm currently working on a spreadsheet for cross-referencing comparisons of all the victims and potential victims I compiled in the Redhead Murders thread.

I personally think Cheatham County Jane Doe and Campbell County Jane Doe could be related. They're both so young, all of their reconstructions look familial, Campbell County is estimated to have been deceased for potentially as long as Campbell County Jane Doe.

Is it not possible these two young girls, perhaps sisters or cousins in foster care, ran away together because of a horrible foster family (speculation obviously) or something of the like, and caught a ride with a killer who dumped one girl exactly 4 hours before dumping the body of the other precisely along I-40? Perhaps Cheatham County Jane Doe was found in a landfill because she was put in a dumpster at a truck stop?

As far as I'm aware NamUs will only hit if the DNA is an exact match and not a relative? Especially since cousins or half-siblings would share fewer genetic markers.

Am I crazy?

Wow interesting theory! It could make sense.

 

[Gourami Watcher]

She's officially back in NCMEC's site: Have you seen this child? JANE PEAGRAM DOE 1981

The new renderings look quite different than the previous ones.

 

[dorothyland]

Melinda Karen Creech?

From the midwest, she may have hitchhiked around for a year before catching a bad ride. I think the facial reconstruction from MCMEC and the reconstruction from the University of South Florida both resemble her. She's never been compared. She was compared to Warren Country Jane Doe though.

Melinda Karen Creech – The Charley Project

(Edited to add pictures)

 

[Gourami Watcher]

I kind of see a resemblance to Phyllis Brewer, who disappeared in June 1981. Don't know if the circumstances match up, since it sounds like she was abducted. She also had reddish blond hair, which might conflict with Jane Doe's.

Bumping.
