[Redacted]
Awhile back I saw the Walker Co Jane Doe feature on my Facebook feed. At frst, I wondered why I didn't remember the case since there had to be a Huntsville media blitz, but then I didn't take the newspaper or listen to the radio.
Anyway, some details in the article triggered a memory of a young girl my husband and I gave a ride to from Oakhurst to Huntsville years ago. The photo didn't jump out at me, but the clothing similarities was spot on, odd necklace, yellow clothing, strappy sandels. My nagging gut feeling says the young girl was possibly this Jane Doe.
She didn't give a name that I recollect but did say she was from Aransas Pass area on the coast. At the time, I wasn't familiar with that area and asked if it was near Three Rivers...a town Dad had talked about. When I asked about family, she offered up, who cares. My first thought was she may be a runaway from a juvenile detention center in Oakhurst...if one existed.
We dropped her off at the [Redacted] house on 13th Street in Huntsville and I think he may have worked at TDC. I don't know why my husband thought she could stay there or how he even knew them. I knew the daughters from school. Later on when I asked him if he had heard anything else about how she was doing, he said Mr. [Redacted] said she had headed out to somewhere else.
I didn't notice the model of [Redacted] car, but he could have been the one that dropped her off at service station. If he did work for TDC, maybe she was trying to contact him. The [Redacted] girls may remember something, but I don't even know if they were still living at home at the time.
Irregardless, do you think this information would provide any new leads in this unsolved tragedy.
I contacted Walker County Sheriff's Office and shared this information a few months ago.

Who Was Walker County Jane Doe?
Thank you for the information. I will pass this on to them, even though you say you already did.

I ran it past Detective Billingsley first since he had worked cold case (went to school with him) and he said to share with Sheriff's office so I did.
