I wish Does were bigger news. If her photo went viral somehow, I'm sure it would reach the right person. If it's true that her parents were looking after her children, they may now be looking for her - they'll be in their 30s at least. Maybe they'll upload their DNA to GEDmatch and someday...

It's wild that whoever spotted the piece of skull (which was quite small, coin sized) even saw it in the first place, but then also recognised it as a piece of skull and also recognised it was human. I wonder if that person was a doctor or something! It's always better to be over cautious than...

DNA doesn't always definitively prove sex assigned at birth either though. There are intersex conditions that will give someone assigned female at birth XY chromosomes. Women with these conditions generally won't know about it until puberty when the lack of a period will lead to medical...

I wonder if it's possible the boys went into foster care after their mother died. If they were split up, that could mean they didn't keep in touch. And it could explain the boys not being named in their father's obit, if he had no contact with them.

Can't be Carole unfortunately unless she was of Persian ancestry, which doesn't seem to be the case

I know, I just thought it was worth noting :)

You would think something like this would be bigger news just because of how weird it is. It's like something out of a film. I suppose it could also be a prank from a grave robbing incident or unscrupulous funeral director selling off limbs/organs. Not unheard of unfortunately. There was a...

It must have been updated, it didn't say they were from Coventry before... perhaps Camron's father (I think it's unlikely that Shane is Camron's father as he would have been 16 and Tammy 24) could be living in Blackpool, or as you said they were from there (maybe still with family there) but...

So weird! Reminds me of the case where a human heart came off the back of a salt gritting truck. Someone pulling a prank, who got it as an anatomical specimen, or their own amputated hand? Some places will let you take your own amputated limbs away if you say you need it for religious reasons -...

Yes I would agree that's likely him, he's the only Shane Turkington I found on FB too, same pictures. He's from Coventry. His profile mentions he went to a special needs school. If he has a learning disability, could he have been manipulated?

Not sure if she's been mentioned already, but I came across Behdokht Behnia Pyke looking at another thread, she went missing in 1981 and was originally from Iran: https://charleyproject.org/case/behdokht-behnia-pyke She's a poor match though. Too short (5'1-5'4 vs Mary's 5'8) and very light...

From the above: West Midlands Police said Tammy Sturdy, 45, Camron Sturdy, 21 and Shane Turkington, 37 have been charged with murder. Tammy and Camron may be mother and son, same surname. I'm fairly sure I've found them on FB (Cam Sturdy with a Tammy Sturdy listed as his mother) and Camron has...

Blackpool has the highest drug-related deaths in the country, there's a huge problem there with poverty and drugs. It has the lowest male life expectancy in the country partly for this reason, as well as having the highest rate of alcohol deaths and suicides. If someone already has criminal...

I wonder if they were from Blackpool (and the alleged murder took place there) or if they fled to Blackpool after the fact. I would think the latter just because a random park in Coventry would be such a strange place to choose to dump a body, quite far from Blackpool and plenty of better more...

Most bins have a house number on them. I wonder if whoever did this could have peeled it off, maybe police will be checking to see if there's any sticky residue that could point to where the bin could have come from.
