Hello everyone. Sorry that I haven't posted or replied in quite some time. I have been very busy, mostly searching for an identity for Racine County Jane Doe, creating a myspace page for her, here's the address if you would like to take a look, let me know what you think (
http://www.myspace.com/racinecountyjanedoe) and my husband and I recently took a vacation to Vegas (SO HOT!!!)
Anyways, as far as Nyleen Kay Marshall goes, her eyes are blue, but everything else about the investigation still leads me to believe that Nyleen could be Jane Doe. There is a possibility that the coroner didn't mention that Jane Doe's eyes were maybe of a green/blue hazel versus green/brown hazel. My niece has green/blue hazel eyes--more of a varation of hues with blues and greens. Sometimes in the right lighting they look blue and other times they look green.
I am not sure if law enforcement here as ever contacted offiicials concerning Nyleen as a possible match for Racine Jane Doe. But I did contact the lead investigator about one match, and what a match it was--at least I thought it was. I copied and pasted below my original email to the detective--
Dear Mr. Knaus,
I am emailing you in regards to the unidentified female victim found in Raymond July '99.
First let me say, I am not part of law enforcement--I am just a normal everyday person who has been bothered by this case since day one. I lived in Racine for 20 years and now reside in Kenosha County and I am married and have three children. Recently, and I don't know what provoked me to do so, I started looking at missing persons websites trying to find Jane Doe a match. I even went as far as creating a myspace page for her just to get her face out there. I have literally viewed thousands of possible matches, without much luck. There are a few that I think possibly fit her description but not so much as one that I stumbled upon today.

Below are pics of Jane Doe just to refresh your memory.
I know Myriam is a little older than Jane Doe was first thought to be, and the height is a little shorter than stated but I know that can't always be a determining factor when matching. I think the first description described Jane Doe as being 18-35, then I think I read she was between the ages of 13-25. So Myriam does fit into the ages described. I wasn't sure which investigator/detective to send this to, so I sent it to the both of you.
I hope this is her, not that I want to wish anybody dead. But it would be nice to give the girl a name and maybe catch the monster that did this to her. If this is not her, I am going to continue my search for her. Please contact me if this is a match.
Thank you,
**********************
I emailed this to the investigator a week or so prior to my vacation and when I returned home just last week, there was a reply in my inbox from the investigator. Unfortunately, Jane Doe is not Myriam. At one time or another and I am not sure how long ago this was, the investigating officials also thought Jane doe was Myraim, but DNA did not make a match.
I had also sent an email to Doenetwork the same time that I sent an email to investigators in Racine but Doenetwork has not replied to the email.
So back to the drawing board. I will continue to search for her until I have viewed every single missing persons pic on the internet--it just gets so frustrating!!
