I also think that personality-wise, she was probably a bit of a drama queen. :lol

Ohhh yeah I see what you're saying. I'll try to search different parameters.
Question... Back in 1996, what was the popular search engine? Was it yahoo?
I don't think any of her belongings mean anything. She did not want to be identified, and I think she was serious enough about that to make sure her possessions were untraceable. I am thinking she went to a thrift shop.
The one thing that seems personal is her ring. The glasses are prescription and could theoretically have been traced more thoroughly, but it is probably too late for that now. The two writing samples, though typed, are very distinctive in their phrasing.
I think she has a college education and likes to read a lot, probably mysteries.

Perhaps the Minnie mouse fanny pak was her granddaughters? Or a deceased childs? It had significance, I would think
The Minnie Mouse bag belonging to a Granddaughter would make sense.
If she had a Granddaughter, she had a child.
I suppose her child could have passed away and the granddaughter went to the surviving parent. If she had a son that didn't have a good relationship with the child's mother, her son passes away and the mother doesn't allow her to see her grandchild anymore. S.

What do you think about maybe a Russian or Romanian decent if not from Belgium? I ask this bc in an area near Annandale there is/was a fair amount of Russian population. I think I read somewhere it was across the Potomac somewhere? Could she have come from another country and settled there by chance. I mean not in the Annandale community per se but rather across the Potomac?
Also...O/T, but I have to say this because it's been driving me crazy: it really bugs me that whoever took the photos used the pencil as a means of showing relative size. I know it was done with good intentions, but...we have no way of knowing how long that pencil is. It's been sharpened, and who knows how many times it's been in a pencil sharpener? It just doesn't do anything at all to give us a sense of scale to have a random sharpened pencil in the photos for comparison. If you're going to do that (and it's a good idea to include something to show scale and help judge relative size), and you don't have a ruler handy, for heaven's sake, use something that is always a known, standardized size, like a dollar bill. Then you can easily do the calculations to see if that Minnie Mouse bag is really as small as it looks, because every dollar bill in the world is a set, known size. (Well, I won't be doing the calculations, but someone good at math could.)

"Now I lay me down to sleep
Soon to drift to the eternal deep
and though I die and shall not wake
Sleep sweeter will be than this life I forsake."
Aww. I like that better than the one I usually hear:
"Now I lay me down to die,
I pray tomorrow there'll be no 'I';
I hope to die before I wake,
and that there is no soul to take."
It would be interesting to know if the notes came from a typewriter or a word processor or computer.
