This is very, very sad. I await news on the cause of the fire, and the medical examiner is investigating whether she was dead when the fire started. She was a really extraordinary person. I barely knew her, and I've still been upset for days.

I'm curious whether the Doc Martens in the photo are the actual ones found, as the photographed ones look brand new.

Did anyone ever follow up on the possibility that this UID is a match for Edward McKinney?

If I'm looking at the right social media page, the only remaining posts are photos, the most recent from October.

I wonder whether anyone's collected video footage from the festival.

This one really intrigues me for the reasons Charlie noted. I grew up in the area around the same time, and I knew people who were into D&D and also related pursuits (notably the Markland Medieval Mercenary Militia--I think that's what it was called). I must be no more than two or three degrees...

Has anyone watched the Hulu series yet? It's very interesting. The director takes an unusual approach; some might find it too decentralized and meta, while others will find the wealth of footage and interviews, as well as the insights, fascinating. I'm in the latter camp. I've just watched the...

For her to have been our lady, she'd have had to have lived under a different identity (or identities) for 26 years. I don't know whether that's plausible for our lady, but the idea of someone being missing a long time brings up some interesting possibilities. What if Jacqueline ran away...

"William Toomey" = "will 'em to me"?

I was top of my class but still had a crummy sense of direction. I guess they're painting her as a responsible young woman--which is fine, and believable, but 14-year-olds can get into a lot of trouble, especially these days. I feel like the stuff about the late buses is important somehow.

Did Jason or his family have connections with the DC area?

NPR's podcast "Embedded" has a series on the Capital shooting--or, more accurately, on its effects on the survivors at the paper (Embedded). The first two episodes are out now.

That song's a blast from the past!

I had a friend in high school (coincidentally, probably around the time this photo was taken, though I'm sure this isn't her) who had cerebral palsy. Her left leg was shortened, and her left eye was very like this girl's. Just yet another possibility concerning her appearance.
