CA CA - Ilene Misheloff, 13, Dublin, 30 Jan 1989

There was a little hardware store, the workbench, and a furniture or beds store on the other side of the Rasmussen farmhouse at that time. The hardware store burned down in the mid-late 90s. There is a plant nursery there now and the furniture store is now a brewery restaurant . Trying to find out if the bridge was there at that time.

If it's what I'm thinking of, can't remember the name of the hardware store, but it happened after 1996, because that's when we moved to the area. The nursery and brewery restaurant are still there. The bridge was there then afaik.

excellent. Good to know. IT was called the WORKBENCH ace hardware. couldnt remember when it burned down.

I was just watching a recent 20/20 program from about a month ago on the Polly Klaas case, and at Polly's memorial site in Cloverdale- where she was found, someone had left a rock for Ilene. That was touching.

that is beautiful

We have not forgotten you, Ilene. Still hoping that someone will figure out this case, and bring some justice for you. As a girl from your hometown, who was older than you but was born and raised here, it could’ve been anyone of us. You’re gone and you shouldn’t be.

There are a few people on death row that i wish we could waterboard to get some answers.

Regarding 906 (#111), I think it's a coincidence. Especially the braces and the lump on the inside of her left ankle (I think it could have gone all the way to her toes and had those toes amputated if she was held captive). I think the height matches, but an inch difference isn't a big deal. Her hair could have been bleached to a reddish color (I think Ilene's hair in the photo is dark brown, but it could have bleached, especially in the sun). And I think if she was held captive, her clothes could have been swapped with Doe's. But that's just me. I really don't know if I should send it though. Still, given the desert conditions when preserving remains, I think Doe could have died more than 2.5 years ago (like in the 90s). And if Ilene had lived to Doe's age, she would have died around 1990-1997 (15-22 years old). What do you think?
