On April 20, 2010, this body was identified as Rebecca Magallanes who was last seen in Florence, Colorado on November 6, 2009, but who was not reported missing until December 2009. Her employer ultimately reported her missing after hearing of the body being found. Her boyfriend of five years...

Bumping for leigh!!

Chaddylex - I agree with happyoldjojo that you might get more of a response on the Missouri side of the river. When I lived in illinois (15 years ago) East St Louis was an extremely high crime area that had a reputation as a lawless area. It wouldn't surprise me if they never checked UIDs...

Bumping for JD in CO. Have you heard anything from law enforcement, futurecriminologist?

Chaddylex - wow!! I bet it's her. I looked on her family's website that you posted and she was last seen in East St. Louis. By the way, East St. Louis is a city in Illinois across the river from St. Louis, Missouri. Let us know when you hear something.

I just re-read the Charley Project entry on Leigh and something jumped out at me. One of the items missing from the home was a sleeping bag. It sounds like something someone would use to remove a body. That casts more suspicion on Mom IMHO.

CarlK: Thanks for the info and the article!

I just came across this guy. Eric Barbree http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/b/barbree_eric.html The picture isn't great, but he seems to have that square jaw and broad chin of Lyle. Also, the height, coloring, hairline etc are right on. Can't tell about the ears. It is suspected he...

I think this could be Laureen Rahn. She looks a lot like our JD, particularly the front-view post-mortem photos. She was known to be in CA in October and there was info that she was caught up in the child porn industry. That may explain why she was going to visit someone in prison. She also...

I wonder how we could follow up on this? It does sound promising.

I read somewhere that Dad does think Mom was involved. It was a member of his family who said that - I think his brother. Is the fact that they were addressed to the stepfather an attempt by Mom to divert attention from herself? A stranger wouldn't know the name of her stepfather...

I agree!! That makes me believe her mom was involved in some way. It's like the fact that someone tried to clean up the blood in the bathroom. No stranger would stick around to do that! And no stranger would risk exposing themselves by mailing the glasses! Does anyone know how much blood...

I wonder if we could contact the RCMP to find out if his body was ever found. Then we'd at least know if he's a possibility. :twocents:

I never thought of that! Great idea! i wonder if those records still exist. I know coldcaseman sent his picture to the hotel to see if anyone recognized him and no one did. But that doesn't mean he wasn't there. People may not have paid much attention to him. I also agree with you about...

Future criminologist: My vote would be yes. Wetmore is very close to Colorado Springs and she matches the description. Plus whoever killed this Jane Doe didn't want her to be ID'ed which suggests to me it was not a stranger. It sounded like Maria's husband or boyfriend was suspected in her...
