Hey CarlK90245, did you ever hear back regarding the segment they were planning on running in Corpus Christi?
 
CORPUS CHRISTI - The Walker County Sheriff's Department in Huntsville hopes an artist's sketch can help shed some light on a 30-year-old murder case.

The victim in the case was beaten, sexually assaulted, strangled and dumped on the side of the road on Halloween night 1980.

Authorities believe the teen was travelling from Aransas County and locals are trying to identify her.

The victim, believed to be between 14 and 17-years-old, told a waitress on the night she died that she was hitchhiking to visit someone at the Ellis prison near Huntsville, Texas. The teen also said she had family in the Coastal Bend.

The next day her body was found on the side of a road.

When news got to Aransas Pass that this girl could be from this area, community members came together to figure out who she was.

Thanks for putting that up, Surfie.

I'm surprised that they showed the PM photos on TV news. They don't usually do that.
 
In July 1996 I came across a serial killer named Karl Myers. I live in Oklahoma and this guy happened upon me in my business. My story is quite long, so forgive me if I am posting in the wrong area for this is new to me, but for all these years it rings in my mind what he told me the day I encountered him. He made the statement, "I know how to dismember women", "I can dispose of them easily in the soft sandy in East Texas", "the OSBI will never find all the women at Rocky Point". I ended up being a state witness, testified against Killer Karl Myer but my entire report wasn't allowed in court. He now has two death penalties against him and sits on death row in Oklahoma.. I have lived with his words and have always wondered if he could be responsible for deaths in Texas also......I am now trying to help anyone who needs information on this guy. He told me he was a truck driver and basically what he told me turned out to be true. I am so thankful he spared my life. If you need information on him, I will try to help.
 

Thanks, Surfie:

Here's the new recon in open-view:

This is one of these cases that is so sad, one because she is still unidentified and two according to the doenetwork.org about the case, when ask was her parents was either worry or looking for her, she say who cares. If I can based a theory here, what if we took her morgue photo and reverse the age of how she may have look as a very young girl and circle that photo to every police station even small ones in small towns, or to each and every school in the state in the US, maybe somebody might remember her, becasue we all at one time or another until we reach high school used to have our school picture taken and if they show that photo around that maybe a teacher or principal might recall a young lady who disappear, and maybe group homes, forster homes . I hope tis is a good idea
 
The new recon is a pretty good representation. However, I think her chin is depicted as too strong. One of the things that sets her apart is her very small chin.

The tip of the nose doesn't look delicate enough either. That one postmortem photo shows it pretty plainly.
 
::bump::

The 32nd anniversary of her death recently passed. Hoping this year is the year she gets her name back.
 
been interested in this case since i first joined websleuths. It saddens me deeply that she is still unidentified and the way her life was ended. I hope soon she gets a name. someone out there has to know something!
 
bump. still looking for you. i hope someone comes forward with information soon.
 
What a heartbreaking case. :( I can't believe this poor girl is going on 33 years unidentified. Someone has to have missed her.
May justice come soon.
 
Sorry, I hate to just jump in at the middle, but I was doing some research on a different JD and I came across this. Instantly when I saw her I remembered this case which I had looked though a few weeks ago. I just had to come post this. She is not on the list of rule outs on the namus profile. Her age and size are right.

Walker County Jane Doe had a 1 1/2 scar on her right eyebrow,none of these girls had it. Wish one of them did I want to know badly who this girl is.


I did not see this girl on the ruled out list. I know the height is off......but we have seen that many times before.
