TX TX - Deanna Merryfield, 13, Killeen, 22 July 1990 - #1

[SadieMae]

Ok I see her now. She is beautiful! That photo and your other sister's photo will give us a good idea of what Deanna might have looked like at the time she disappeared.

 

[JDB]

She alread has fixed it.
Missy: Did Deanna have any other scars?

Thanks Jules, you are right, I shouldn't be so pushy. I hope you understand Missie it's with good intention. I tend to depersonalize and I shouldn't, I apologize.

Great questions.

I would love to get Shadow205 (I have already alerted her to this case, she has company in town so hasn't popped in yet) to interview some of the players here, she is a retired LEO and is great with interviews...something to think about.

Oh, I do not think you are being pushy!! I think we are all anxious to see pics and to help Missie find her sister! Sometimes it is better to "depersonalize" as you say. I have found with my own research that if I de-personalize it, I am able to think more objectively. Sometimes it takes just one little clue to unravel a whole mystery. Wouldn't it be wonderful if Deanna's disappearance just had to do with her getting pregant, and she is alive and well and Missie will find her sister and gain a niece or nephew in the process?? Perhaps Deanna is out there looking too, and thinks noone loves her or wants to find her, but she sees one of Missies posts and realizes how much she is loved and missed. That makes everything we post here ALL worth it!! In some ways this reminds me of the Rose Cole mystery. I am thinking all we need is the right clue to find Deanna. Pictures would most definitely help!! :blowkiss:

I can't get my photobucket pics to post today or yesterday, what's up with that??

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL GIRL!

 

[Julessleuther]

Thanks for the picture Missie--how old was she here in this pic--she looks about 10 or 11??

 

[SadieMae]

Missy, do you know if LE in Killeen have any photos of her? If not, I will print them and take them to Reese.

 

[MissieMt]

The Pic did not work. Also I can not find a Missing person report anywhere.Do you recall who it was filed with.

She wasn't posted on any of the missing person websites. I'm currently trying to get a hold of LE to work on that

Ok I see her now. She is beautiful! That photo and your other sister's photo will give us a good idea of what Deanna might have looked like at the time she disappeared.

SadieMae, her and her twin look NOTHING alike. ie. her twin has brown hair and eyes.

She alread has fixed it.
Missy: Did Deanna have any other scars?

No other scars that I know of, but I will ask

Missy, do you know if LE in Killeen have any photos of her? If not, I will print them and take them to Reese.

When Deanna's twin contacted LE last fall they said they weren't sure if they had photo, but that they would get back to her about it, they never did. I think maybe they didn't

I also want to reiterate how appreciative I am of everyone's hard work. I've said this before but for those of you who missed it:
I'm not expecting miracles, I just want a chance. If Deanna ever is able to ask us if we looked for her, I want to be able to say "yes"

It is working for me
Shadow and christine Let me know what I can do on this one when I get time. I want to see this one come to a close one way or another. The picture of Deanna hit me hard.

 

[Julessleuther]

Deanna has a twin??? I missed that! Was Merryfield your stepfathers last name? Did your grandmother have a different last name? You indicated before that your father (s) were not in your life. Did you and Deanna have the same father? Is there a chance she went to live with him or took on his last name? Did Deanna have a nickname? I have a sister-in-law named Deanna and everyone calls her Dee. Was your mother raised in TX? You indicated that your grandmother had family in the midwest--do you know where? Were all you girls born in TX, or where you born somewhere else?

Hiya JDB! It does work if you click on it, however, I was trying to get it to post right in the forum/thread window...wonder what's up.

Hiya Shadow! Thanks for 'coming'! I am glad to see it wasn't me, I mean, everyone comes to me for computer help and I can't even post a dag gum picture today! LOL!

Nope, it's not you Chris. Something wrong over there today. Will keep trying.

Sorry for all the questions. Did your grandmother live in Killeen? If not, what town did she live in? DO you recall if your sister liked her name? Perhaps she is going by her middle name?

I think we need answers to everything you are asking, these are all important questions and can help with the investigation.

Yeah, Deanna does have a twin but they don't look alike. Merryfield was our Mother's maiden name. (My Grandmother's married name) I believe my granmother's maiden name was Varner( first name Edith) but I will have to check to be sure. Deanna and I didn't have the same father. I don't think she would have gone to live with her father, none of us knew our father's names. The only nicknames I remember calling her was Prissy, Nanna, and Danger Mouse (only because it was the same initials as hers). Our Mother's father was in the military so I believe they travelled a bit when she was young, but I know my mother went to Killeen HS. All of us (me and my sisters) were born in Texas in Killeen. I'm not sure exactly where in the midwest my granmother's extended family lived, I will ask.

My Grandmother did live in Killeen, and still does. I don't remember Deanna disliking her first name, but who knows, right?
She was a beautiful little girl. We went to Austin last week and one of my sisters said my daughter reminded her of Deanna, it just about broke my heart!

Missie, would she have spelled her name like this? DeAnna?

Hmmm, maybe but if she is living in Austin, that would be really weird.

It says Killeen on the website, Austin is listed as the closet city....where do you think she is?
