Does anyone know if the other two homicides in the Capri Pants Killer series -- Doris Bowman and Jessa Kahan -- were ever solved? Maybe it's my imagination but Mrs. Schmidt's murder sounds as though it might share some similarities with Patricia Neufeld's homicide in Garden Grove 16 years later.

Thanks for the update, Jason. I suggested Donald Thompson back in 2014 and had just assumed it wasn't him because I hadn't heard back from Indiana or Florida authorities. I guess these things sometimes take time. I was able to locate a few news articles about Donald Thompson at the time of...

Recently, I noticed the case of another decapitated Black girl was recently added https://identifyus.org/en/cases/16611 and wondered if the two cases could be linked, since the girl found in St. Louis is now thought to have spent most of her childhood in Pennsylvania.

Back in 2012, I e-mailed Daniel Machain from the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office about Norman Prater. From Investigator Machain's reply, it sounds like he was looked at and ruled out -- I haven't heard back about Richard Riquier since I asked about him in 2014 (I thought there might be...

Norman Prater's NamUs profile is -- https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/6542/7 Thanks for creating a separate thread for Wilmington John Doe! :tyou:

I noticed that Sherry Doe's NamUs page is no longer available? I haven't been able to locate any articles about her being identified -- sorry, being nosy I looked around quite a bit before posting. I was interested to know her story because there has been so much speculation over the years.

It was through his fingerprints. Rick Jones (from the Clark County Coroner's Office) explained it to me via e-mail --

Does it specify what her degree was in? The website says that they offer an Associate Degree in Nursing (http://www.sbcc.edu/nursing/adn/). If Cecile graduated in high school in 1978, it might not be possible for her to get a nursing degree in that time; the reason why I say this is because...

Because I had been looking at "Henry's" case for years and I really wanted to know what happened, I got in touch with the coroner's office and asked. I learned --

I can't help but wonder if this man had some sort of interaction with the real Gerald Polk from Hudson, FL and he took his identity or they switched identities for whatever reason. https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/9299/0

I noticed Francis Heath from Crossett, AR who went missing on a bus trip to El Paso, TX in 1974. At 39, Francis is a little over the estimated age but I think the other stats are fairly close and, from what they were both wearing, both women seem to like layered clothing and plaid shirts...

This is George Nutting's NamUs page -- https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/4519/0

In that line of thought, I was trying to track down this thread after reading about James Squillante who was reported to be about 5'2" 130lbs when he went missing in 1960 and believed to have met with foul play. After finally locating the thread, I can see the dates are way off. :facepalm...

Recently, when I tried to access Henry's NamUs page, I received an error message. I wonder if his case has finally been solved? His Doe Network page is still up, though, and doesn't have any notations about being solved.

Recently, NamUS UP# 8382 who had been found on the shore of Yuba Lake in Juab County, UT in September 1978 was identified as Marilee Bruszer from Long Beach, CA. There were quite a few discrepancies between Ms. Bruszer’s vital statistics and those estimated by the Coroner/Medical Examiner...
