I would think that prior negative experiences with penicillin would rule out using it in death. Taking a sedative and asphyxiation surrounded by meaningful possessions means she likely wanted to die peacefully.
Could she be Cora Andersen? Sorry if she is already mentioned.
Cora Andersen – The Charley Project
Missing from Alaska since 1979. She was born in 12/20/1927 and would have been 69 in 1996, her birthday coming up in two days (Jane Doe was found on the 18th) 5'0 like Jane Doe, red hair, wearing glasses. I couldn't find a genealogy trace (yet). I wanted to check if Cora had given birth (C-section on Jane Doe) If somebody else has more luck, let us please know.
What a great suggestion. Just checked Connie Converse's birthday...3rd August. I have a strong feeling that this lady is Elizabeth Eaton Converse, known as 'Connie', who disappeared from Ann Arbor in 1974, to start a new life (as told to her brother). I can see definite similarities in the features - round face, shape of lips, nose, wide brow, eye brows, chin. Connie didn't have red hair, but the deceased lady's hair must be dyed bright red. Connie would have been 72 in 1996. She was very well educated, wrote songs /poetry, liked Monty Python apparently (spent time in London in early 70s when Monty Python were current), suffered from depression, needed (and possibly had) abdominal surgery. Has anyone else looked into the possibility of this lady being Connie? Thanks
I think her brother Phil and his wife speculated that she might have driven into water, and that's why the car was never found. I don't think they had anything to base this on though. I do hope she did have another 20 plus years of life, and had some happiness during that time. She was such a talented woman. Wonderful songwriter.
