Circumstances of Discovery​

A pheasant hunter found the skeletal remains of the victim in heavy underbrush on Weyerhaeuser Public Hunting land east of McKenna. The victim was located a quarter-mile south of state Route 702 and two miles west of state Route 7.

On Jan. 11, 1977, the remains were placed in the Sheriff's property room. Two years and five days later, the skeleton was slated for destruction and was put in the Tacoma landfill.

Quite possibly could be. PMI timeline is right on and seems this would be along the way from Blythe on up to Canada. I would definitely pursue further. Wonder if dentals are available in Carol’s case.

@Carling1 - sorry about that! For some reason I keep getting an unknown error message. I resized it, though it is much smaller quality.

To add to this: Tammy Jewels Inc. was a store in the Altamonte Mall, Altamonte Springs, Seminole County.

When researching her apartment, I believe that Master's Cove has been renamed to Roselea Manor.

No arrest records where found at Seminole County for Carol either.

The description of circumstances state that Wayne Madore was arrested in Canada on unknown date and time.

Below is an article in The Great Falls, MT Tribune stating he was arrested October 1976 and extradited back to Seminole County FL.

The only real significance in posting this is possible additional areas he was known to have traveled to or through as we don’t know at what point Carol was “left behind”.

The date Carol was last physically seen was 8/13/76 and Wayne was arrested and returned to FL first of October 1976. We are looking at a little less than 2 months for time frame of Carol’s actual disappearance. This may be helpful when reviewing unidentified females for locale and PMI.

I found a Wayne R. Madore who died in January 2019. His DOB makes him 27 when Carol went missing. I take it he's the guy?

Great finding, Caring1!!
Here it's also mentioned that Madore was Carol's boyfriend.
It's curious that they not only choose the disappearance anniversary to finally name him, but also the year Madore (or the only Madore I could find that fits) died: 2019.

I find it hard to imagine an 18 year old giving up her car let alone a Corvette... then again young, tempestuous love is unpredictable... it's the ideal age to "ride the storm"... my thinking is that Wayne killed her... the trucker story is stereotypical and convenient (the old serial killer trucker kidnapping girl trope)... I think there was probably an argument and maybe Carol did the "it's my car, you drive" thing... It's all pure conjecture... I'm kind of curious about this check fraud case... a lot of times they let the woman go if she testifies against the man... kind of a sexist relic that still exists today but would have been really relaxing in the 70's... maybe after some fighting and life on the road/on the run, Carol was starting to consider all her options... I read that in 1977, an unidentified woman was found in Richmond Virginia... she was wearing Carol's name on her belt... she weighed less than 45 kg, but if there were drugs involved that would be very likely...
whatever the case
rest in peace
