It’s hurtful to us because of how we feel about Doe, but we have to remember that we aren’t her family— we have no clear or objective picture of the interpersonal relationships or connections Doe had in her life, for better or worse. We don’t know what the relatives of Doe, once or twice...

This has been reported before, and IIRC, the family members that were contacted didn’t want to be spoken to. Very much their right, but it’s incredibly painful to get so close to our Doe’s identity and not have an answer. I hope we can find Doe’s name without violating the privacy of others. She...

I’ve been trying to locate our Doe’s gravesite but I’ve been having some trouble while digging through the information available online. The closest I can get are a few sites in Calvary Cemetery. Is anyone aware of the exact location of her remains? Or at least, a site where we can pay respect?

Jodi’s case feels like the kind that should be submitted to the Vidocq Society. I wonder if anyone involved in the case has considered submitting it to them. The crime perpetrated against her is complex, not only because of the absence of a body, crime scene, or significant forensic evidence...

LE and others have been fixed on Vansice since the start; if they had concrete evidence to bring charges against him, they would have. I find it extremely hard to believe they would know the identity of the person who left the palm print on Jodi’s car and wouldn’t pursue further action, at least...

In this day and age, it seems like trying to prevent malignant narcissists like her from using the media to profit off of their self–indulgent exercises in denial is mostly futile. There will always some bottom-feeding television show, tabloid, questionable blog, etc., that will give people like...

After seeing the latest “statements”/interview with Sherri, it was nearly impossible for me to suppress the disgusted exclamation of “SERIOUSLY?!” that welled up inside me. She strikes me as the kind of person who will absolutely never admit the complete truth. She’ll cling to her lies and...

What made you feel compelled to pursue a career in forensics, death investigation, etc.? Is there a significant event that influenced your interests, or a cumulation of experiences that aided in choosing your career? Also, as a fellow Southerner, has that had an impact on your career, negative...

Her husband has to be asking himself: “What did we ever did to these guys that made them so violent?”

“My wife aimed a gun at LAPD officers? Say it ain’t so!”

What can we do to help focus attention on this case? I know it is being worked on, but it would be nice if we could do something for our Doe— maybe have a celebration at her gravesite, or do something to focus on her life. I’d love to write a poem for her and share it with others, maybe have a...

Thinking of St. Louis Jane Doe today. You aren’t ever forgotten, sweet girl. We won’t stop until you are given your name back. Science has advanced so much— it is only a matter of time until we know who you are, and the name of the monster who killed you. You are so much more than the crime that...

This is why it matters to defend those who can’t, and to stop this moment in history from being something they write poetry warning future societies about.

From Mehdi Hasan’s article: In the eyes of this administration, immigrants who are undocumented are all “illegal immigrants” and these “illegal immigrants”, ergo, are all “criminals”. But, on so many levels, it’s just not true. It’s a popular myth pushed by the right that needs urgent...

Really, the thought should be this: does a violent and horrific act committed by one member of the population against another reflect on either gender, ethnicity, etc. involved? Does one act by one person reflect the group as a whole? White males perpetrate 99% of all mass shootings in this...
