Authorities found her body: http://www.bnd.com/news/local/article197415149.html http://www.thetelegraph.com/news/116842/body-of-missing-alton-woman-adria-hatten-found-early-tuesday Edit: Like some of you, this is very local to me also. Very sad news.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was figuring sleuthers would extrapolate that information based on potential flow rates and the general lack of hydrodynamic nature of a vehicle. My conclusion would be that a car wouldn't get far if it went in nose first. Maybe in a flooding situation where a vehicle...

Interesting article that details not only how long a car can float, but how it can end up on its roof, how to survive a sinking vehicle, etc. Just something to add to your sleuthing toolbox: https://www.arlnow.com/2013/02/25/aaa-offers-tips-for-surviving-plunge-from-memorial-bridge/ Edit: The...

My gut tells me this will be resolved soon. My mind says LE are just building their case. I think back to the Mickey Shunick case: She managed to fight back, stab her attacker (he went to the hospital for the wounds), and it still took something like 1.5 months to arrest the guy.

Has this been discussed before? I have a theory that the guy could be connected to the Indiana Packers Corporation, about 5.9 miles from the Monon High Bridge Trail, right off of route 25. Was he dressed unseasonably warm? You have to dress warm at meat packing places. Could he be a truck...

Can someone point me to a MSM article that states they died on different days? I don't doubt the people saying this, but I looked at so many articles and updates yesterday and still had trouble finding one with an accurate timeline. Is there a timeline thread, yet? Sorry for such a basic...

Regarding possible angles of photos... This link gives some great photos of the Monon High Bridge Trail. goo.gl/ShBRjE I shortened the URL. The actual one looks like this if you're worried about clicking on it:

Knew I had to head straight to websleuths when I read about this today. Hope this new information somehow brings justice. Today was the first time I heard about this, from a Daily Mail article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4200058/Sheriff-kept-evidence-cold-murder-case-storage.html

Bumping this thread because there's a similar former Jane Doe, Eulalia Chavez, that was murdered about 4 years prior to this Jane Doe: http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?41126-IL-Eulalia-Chavez-27-Summerfield-Jane-Doe-6-Sept-1986 Mostly just trying to tie these threads...

DNA testing fails to identify killer of Summerfield ‘Jane Doe’ http://www.bnd.com/news/local/article126695289.html Edit: I don't know if I've seen this Eulalia Chavez thread before today, but here's one that is an unidentified Jane Doe from near the same area. The one that I...

There's an interesting media connection to SP and KP. Mike Mangas, who works for KRCR, an ABC affiliate, is an ordained deacon and is the one who married the Papinis. He's also the one who was able to get the story on Good Morning America: Here's a PDF of a newspaper article. You can search...

I think you're right. If you listen to it on 0.5 speed on youtube, it sounds even more like what you thought. I don't hear "metal" at all. Is that possibly what was branded on her?

I'd be curious to know if her nose was really broken. That's the only injury that I think would be hard to endure or self-inflict to gain some type of financial windfall. I'm a little bothered by the husband's florid description of the injuries. Almost written like it is meant for a...

FYI, Fort Leonard Wood military base is located right near there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Leonard_Wood_(military_base) I'm not implying this death was caused by someone in the military, but if it was, we all know how often they move around. Sometimes they pick up a girlfriend or...

http://www.bnd.com/news/local/article105229276.html Derleth was previously in trouble for videotaping himself with an underage girl, punching a cop (and stealing his car), and apparently made money through some state sponsored babysitting program. (see link above)
