Identified! CT - Two unknown women on video, possible SK victims, May'05

[bugaboo]

That is strange. Unless there is some connection with this guy and CA or the women and CA? I'm assuming ESPD can just contact CSP and sort it out amongst themselves. Weird. But at least things are being passed along.

I darkened the first image:

and it appears that the woman has thin lips and her cheeks are caved in (could be due to contouring using blush) suggesting that she is older. (40+?)
She also has what looks like flowers in her hair and has makeup on. (Blush, possibly lip stick, eyeshadow)

The image is too grainy and pixelly so I zoomed it out a little (smaller but you can see clearler):

Kinda strange - I got a call from a detective from the El Segundo PD (i.e., my own hometown). The cold-case tipline in Connecticut referred my tip on Christine Cales and Peggy Sue Vinson to ESPD for them to investigate.

Understandably the detective seemed a bit confused about what this case was all about, and who I was, and why he was being asked to get involved. He said that he had a different case that he was also working on, but he would get back to me.

I am also a bit confused as to why ESPD is involved. The Connecticut State Police are the ones who put out the inquiry. Why would they delegate the investigation to ESPD?

Maybe they tracked your ISP?

Maybe they tracked your ISP?

I gave them my landline phone number in my e-mail to them, so they probably figured out my hometown that way.

I wish they released stills at different angles. Can one be Monica Hartnett? We only have one known picture of her, unfortunately. That being said, I'm sure the first thing the PD did was cross reference those women with known missing women so there is a good chance those women are not known to be missing in CT.

He's just been named as a suspect in a CT serial killer case...

Sources Identify Suspected Serial Killer After 7 Bodies Found Behind New Britain Shopping Center
NBC Connecticut
5/12/2015

The man suspected of killing at least seven people and burying their bodies behind a New Britain shopping center has been identified as William Devin Howell, a 45-year-old currently incarcerated at a Connecticut prison on separate manslaughter charges, multiple sources familiar with the investigation tell NBC Connecticut exclusively.

Howell’s current 15-year sentence at the Garner Correctional Institution stems from the homicide of Nilsa Arizmendi, a 33-year-old Wethersfield resident who disappeared in 2003.

Four of the seven victims found behind the shopping center have been identified – all as women who vanished in 2003. The first three sets of remains, found in 2007, belong to Diane Cusack, 55, Mary Jane Menard, 40, and Joyvaline Martinez, 24.

Police said on Monday a fourth set uncovered late last month has been identified as Seymour resident Melanie Camilini, who was 29 years old when she disappeared. Monday would have been her 42nd birthday.

Connecticut serial killer already jailed for 2003 murder of still-missing woman: report
New York Daily News
5/12/2015

One set of remains found in April was identified as Melanie Ruth Camilini, a mother of two who have celebrated her 42nd birthday on Monday, the day cops announced her skeletal remains were among those in the woods.

Camilini also disappeared in 2003.

It’s unclear if one of the sets of remains belongs to Arizmendi. She was last seen alive in Howell’s van in Wethersfield. He’d been known to cut lawns at businesses and homes in and around the Hartford area. His alleged dumping ground in New Britain is just 13 miles from the Connecticut capital city.

Who Is the Suspected New Britain Serial Killer?
NBC Connecticut
5/13/2015

According to court documents, he started opening up to another inmate at the Cheshire Correctional Institute while awaiting trial.

Howell told cellmate Thomas Rodrigues Jr. that he "wanted a speedy trial because the state’s case against him was circumstantial" and that "the state didn’t have a body and he didn’t want the body to show up because it would do him in," affidavits allege. He also told Rodrigues he had beaten up Arizmendi in his van, "breaking her nose and getting blood all over the place."

Now sources say he could hold the key to a case that's been shrouded in mystery since 2007, when investigators dug up the first three sets of remains buried behind that strip mall in New Britain.

Four of the victims have been identified – Diane Cusack, Mary Jane Menard, Joyvaline Martinez, and, most recently, Melanie Camilini – but at least three other bodies, for now, remain nameless.

Here's a more in depth look at the victims: (and another case, unrelated but found nearby) https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2015/06/10/they-keep-finding-bodies-by-my-grandparents-house

I haven't heard anything about these pictures being identified. Carl, have you heard any updates over the years? Kind of weird they called your local PD.

I followed the Honsch case too. I have a hard time finding any media updates.

[cvaldez1975]

William Devlin Howell's other victims had ties to drugs and or prostitution so its possible. the side view still looks as if she is going to take a hit of a pipe possibly.

As a former investigator I think they're prob wanting a local detective to interview you, and find out your legitimacy. As well as making sure you have no inside knowledge of their disappearance, and are trying to put it off on him. I could be totally wrong though.

Howell finally please guilty to the other six murders (he is serving manslaughter for one by the time the first of the bodies was found). Authorities are looking at Howell for a murder in Florida that he may have committed when he was in his early twenties.

Kristi Suzanne Krebs
Missing since August 9, 1993 from Fort Bragg, Mendocino County, California.
Classification: Endangered Missing



Vital Statistics
Date Of Birth: December 29, 1970
Age at Time of Disappearance: 22 years old
Height and Weight at Time of Disappearance: 5'2; 140 lbs.
Distinguishing Characteristics: White female. Brown hair; blue eyes. She speaks with a slight lisp. Her nickname is "Kris."
Marks, Scars: Krebs' right thumb is deformed; it is thick at the knuckle and the tip of her thumb curves inward. She has several large moles on her neck below her right cheek. Krebs' ears are pierced.
Clothing: Krebs was last seen wearing a royal blue shirt, with Round Table Pizza imprinted on the left front side and baggy blue or gray jeans. Possibly carrying two duffel bags.
Medical: Suffers from a mental disorder with symptoms similar to amnesia.
Dentals: Available




Circumstances of Disappearance
Krebs left her job at Round Table Pizza on August 9, 1993 in Fort Bragg, California, but never arrived at her family's residence. Krebs' red Toyota Tercel was discovered abandoned, with the stereo missing, in a shallow creek in MacKerricher State Park shortly after her disappearance. Her bra, panties, wallet and driver's license were found inside her car, but there was no sign of her at the scene. There were small traces of blood on the dashboard and the front seat, along with shredded identification papers. A few torn-up photographs were scattered nearby. Authorities think that before she abandoned her car, Kristi changed into a gym outfit that she always carried with her. Her work clothes were found, sopping wet and neatly folded, on the backseat.

Krebs had been receiving medical treatment at the time of her disappearance for emotional difficulties. She experienced a similar incident involving her car becoming stuck and burst into flames, in an area near her home in May 1990. The morning after that incident, railroad workers saw Krebs, dazed and disoriented, wandering along the tracks. She was diagnosed as having a psychotic, trauma-related break down.
It is possible that Krebs became disoriented the night she vanished, and had a relapse of a stress-related mental breakdown, as in 1990, which left her not knowing who she was.
Several sightings were reported in Texas, Salt Lake City, and California. Kristi may have been hitchhiking with truckers across the country.
Foul play is possible.
