So glad you posted MagicRose99. Let's get this thread going again. I noticed Itsreen hasn't posted on any thread since 1-13-08. She had some pretty good contacts there for awhile. I hope she will come back and help us get going again. She's a wealth of knowledge.

Hi all! I'm new to WS (as a member); however, I've been a lurker for a while. This case really caught my eye because of the name. I have a long time friend (since childhood) named Rose Cole. Unfortunately, not this Rose Cole.

I'm was happy to see some activity on this board this week. IIRC, Rose's mom lives(d) in Orange, TX. She has passed away, I believe. My husband is from Orange, TX and that too caught my eye.

I wish you all the successful in locating Rose. I will keeping watching for any updates or news.

Unlike most cold cases involving unidentified victims, Snohomish County sheriff's detectives actually know who killed the young woman whose remains were found about 30 years ago in blackberry brush south of Everett.

The evidence pointed to David M. Roth, then 20, who was convicted of first-degree murder in 1979 and sentenced to prison. Despite Roth's confession to a detective, he swore he never knew the name of the hitchhiker he picked up, then strangled and shot several times after she refused to have sex with him one day in August 1977.

The girl's identity still eludes sheriff's investigators, who Thursday released a new composite sketch of "Jane Doe." They hope someone will recognize their murder victim -- maybe a family member who reported her missing. And they hope to bring both cases some closure.

Pretty interesting. Rose was tall, and would have been 20 in Aug. of 77. I think this is as good as match as any. The article says DNA has recently been collected. I wonder how long it will take to see if there is a match in CODIS. IIRC Rose's brother has his DNA entered.

Thanks for posting. Did you e-mail the detective? I noticed his email address was included in the article.

Hi all,

I've been a lurker and wanted to bump up this case. It sounded like the Jane Doe that was found 30 years ago is worth sending to the detective. :crazy:

Has Rose cole ever been compared to the lady in the dunes?

I am only 30 pages into the first thread, but I need to get this down before I forget- I think its an important point to make regarding medical records.
Depending on the state- In AZ we have to keep medical records for 7 years. If the child is a minor, they have to be kept for 7 years past 18.
Many drs offices pull their charts for archives when 2 years has past. So if the sticker on the chart (assuming they were using these stickers in the early 70's) was 1971 and it hadn't been updated by 1973, in 73 it likely would have been archived. In most offices, all archives are kept by year and nothing more. So many drs offices have medical records going back many years because they don't want to throw out a box from 19XX if there is a chance that there was a minor in it.

I was an office manager for an urgent care clinic in 2003- we had purchesed the practice from another dr who had been practicing in the same location for some 20+ years. We had all of his archives, and even though we were not liable for them we still hesitated to shred them because a minor could have been in there and we would have had to go through EACH and EVERY chart checking date of service against DOB to ensure we were only throwing out medical records of those who were adults at the time.

So while I know 37 years is a long time if a DR is especially OCD about his records, it is possible that she may still have records out there somewhere????

K, Ima keep reading.....

 

[Cagney]

I looked up Rose L Cole on Zabasearch and there are about 20 listings that come up. The birth years are all wrong, but I know that when I search myself my birth year and date come up wrong on some listing so zaba isn't always accurate.
In my own searches looking for people that I have lost touch with it wasn't accurate with birth years either. Sometimes it is sometimes it isn't...........

Ok back to finish the other thread, I needed to take a break and do somethign else for a bit.


I also want to add that many of the links are no longer any good, so if someone could update those I think it would be incredibly helpful for those of us who are just now reading.

 

[itsreenw]

I hate to see that there hasnt been activity on this thread in so long. Some time ago, I added Rose to Namesdatabase.com. I got an email today saying the following people were looking for Rose on that site.


Jessica Rowan Austin
Larry Edwards
Leon Raymond Munchin
Anne L Dine
Jesse Cole (I believe Yannette added Jesse's name to the site a long time ago)

 

[Julessleuther]

I too am sad that there has not been alot of activity, but it is hard when the family is not involved. The names that you listed, do you know any of those, other than Jesse? Did we ever find Pose? I so would like to find out that Rose is alive and well, and just thought she had to move on with her life.

I don't know how I didn't see this...I just called to leave a message to see what I can find out about the UID after reading through the article and information.

 

[christine2448]

Seems like the guy who claims he killed her IS cooperating! They could show pic of Rose to him and take from there.

Roth was paroled in May 2005 after serving 25 years in prison under the state's former sentencing laws. He now lives in Everett and has cooperated with detectives, even pointing out that they initially had picked the wrong hairstyle for the composite sketch, Scharf said.
