My theory on this (and it's really only a theory): Sea World was (and is) on the opposite side of Orange County from the home where Elizabeth lived with her mother, something like a 20-mile drive. My gut tells me that Elizabeth simply lied to her mother and told her that she was working at a...

It's great to see people talking about this case--I had to let go of it when I came to the conclusion that I had exhausted all avenues of research. The only other piece of info I ever obtained was the investigative report into the death of Elizabeth's mother, as Saturday is the 20th anniversary...

Part of the problem is that the Orlando Slantinal couldn't drop their coverage of the case fast enough, refusing to publish sketches of the suspects and a photo of the ring they stole.

Bump.

A quick follow-up (if anybody cares): I contacted, via e-mail, the detective who wrote this report back in 1987, mentioning that I couldn't find the case on NamUs. The detective (now an inspector) emailed me back; he remembered the case, but didn't know if it had ever been resolved. He felt the...

Given that this case remains under the jurisdiction of the Orange County (Florida) Sheriff's Department, an agency which arrested Elizabeth for DUI a few months before she disappeared (that published photo is almost certainly a booking photo), let's hope that this sudden movement in the case...

Knowing what I know about the matter (essentially this victim was once considered a possible victim of a serial killer active in that neighborhood), I would have to believe that the victim was likely identified at some point in the 90's, likely the early part of the decade, before online...

Yes, but got nowhere, beyond 1987 articles referencing the police report I mentioned. The problem is that I don't have a name to enter as a search term, and south Florida newspapers have never been known to fall all over themselves providing coverage of black female homicide victims.

I'm looking at a 1987 police report which cites details of an unidentified black female whose remains were found in Broward County, Florida on April 24, 1972. The victim had been raped and strangled with a rope, and apparently in a state of advanced decomposition. (Somewhere in my notes I've...

The media certainly dropped this story as fast as it could after there was no immediate arrest.

I just discovered these three cases via the PSCO website, and am glad to see somebody doing the heavy lifting with the public records searches. One thing to add, however: PSCO's entry for Donyelle Johnson (one must clock on a drop-down tab) states that "Cleveland Hill died in 2018 and denied...

Found a new piece of good info to add to this case: Per an arrest report for a DUI which occurred in Orlando on 10/30/87, the Florida tag number of the tan 1984 Toyota pickup which vanished along with Ms. Bodor was 737 BBS. Other than that, a frustrating document. Ms. Bodor was driving, and her...

I don't think there's anything at all stating that a driver's license photo cannot be made public if the state reproduces and distributes within the scope of the statute. I know the Orange County Sheriff's website has a, frankly, suckass page devoted to unsolved homicides which contains--not...

Fortunately, there are medical examiners out there seeking to identify recovered remains. In the meantime, I just dumbfounded--the OCSD had her booking photo, her fingerprints, the VIN number of her car...and from what I can tell, did absolutely nothing except file a report consisting of a...

Frankly, it appears that to track down a photo of Elizabeth R. Bodor, there are two options: 1. Contact her brother in Denver. (I'm not sure I want to do this, or even if it's a good idea.) 2. Contact somebody in law enforcement and/or a medical examiner investigating a Jane Doe that is a...
