Ask me how to get your loved one in NamUs
I am just trying to figure out how this site works as far as matching photos. I viewed thevideo. What did I miss? The girl was identified and now the case is solved.
Are you saying that you believe no one outside this forum is or has been behind the scenes actually putting in long hours and hard work unrelated to photo images to soolve these cases? I don't mean to offend anyone, but I find that mindset very disturbing because it sounds like a competion and credit game.
About 3 or 4 years ago (had not viewed any "crime" forums before that) sent information on two different cases that were publically listed as identified about 6 or 8 weeks later.
My work had nothing to do with these being solved. The agency investigator was newly appointed to the case had the same idea and was working on the potential identification before I spoke with him. I found his investigation to be facinating and how he came to believe he had a solved case.
He did not take any personal credit and I certainly did not just because I "thought" there might be a successful resolution. He was humble and gracious and thanked me for my effort and invited me toresearch info on other cases.When a name is put out on any forum or photo presented, that is not evidence to claim "credit" which again I find disturbing. Thank God there are new eyes looking into these cases with all the information available to them.
There are dozens of people responsible for identification and none can take "credit", nor would they. There are also dozens who choose to ignore good leads and trust the garbage entered nto the data bases...make a rule out and go on. That is even more disturbing.
At any rate, everyone should be thankful there is yet another UP who is no longer a "DOE! :happydance::cheers:
There were different people working on it on both sides. Michelle's brother was trying to get her into NamUs; then you have Pokey Puppy who caught Michelle's profile when it 1st went online. Pokey called Dr D who had no knowledge of Michelle until Pokey called. See my post here... To me & to others here; it sounds like PP's tip helped. It is very possible that NamUs got the hit; we do not know. See a recent match by a WS member Margo Walden where both Margo as a UP & Margo's MP family DNA both showed as DNA complete on NamUs since as far back as February but they were not in the same system according to someone I know at NamUs.
Pokey Puppy was new here when she 1st posted; she did not understand what happened; so she was bummed. Heck; I would be too; especially if it was my 1st potential match; which I have not made yet..
