GA GA - Janice Hughes, 30, Macon, 8 June 1991

[Lataviahughes]

I dnt think she would it's hard for her to e end talk about it. No she lives in Macon Georgia

Yes my grandmother (my moms mom) is still living

 

[Roselvr]

I live in Florida how can I go by doing that

Sorry it took me so long to get back here. I had a flooded basement yesterday; before that; my hub had come home with furniture from his grandma that passed on Valentines day. It's needed a lot of TLC as the wood is very dry. I just sent you a friend request on FB. Will be easier to PM there. Once I get your mom entered; I will let the case worker know that you can provide a sample. LE will come to you. If your grandma is interested in giving DNA; LE near her would take the sample. She doesn't have to go anywhere. If she can not do it; it's no big deal.

I asked my friend Carl K to make an age progression for your mom. Carl is the unidentified person's mod here at WS

I expect Roselvr will be back here on the thread or contact you by pm to answer your question, but in the meantime, hope you can view the link below from NamUs that outlines the protocol. To me, it sounds like the DNA collection kit could be sent to law enforcement where you live, once they agree to assist, etc. But Roselvr can probably fill in the details for you.

Your grandmother (your mom's mom) is still living, correct? Do you think she would be willing to give a sample as well? Does she also live in Florida?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Roselvr, what a splendid idea to ask CarlK to do the age progression! Thank you both to you and to CarlK!

Lataviahughes, I know when you get to see the image it will be a powerful moment, seeing what your mother may look like now, if she is still living. Hugs to you. CarlK does great work with his images, in my opinion. He is also the person who earlier helped me with the online yearbook search. Even though he didn't find a picture of your mom, I appreciated him taking the time to try. I'm still planning to look at some actual yearbooks in Macon, when I get the time and opportunity for the project, to see if I can't locate a few years that weren't available online.

I know she doesn't have any photos of her mom so wanted to make sure Carl had time to work his magic. I can't imagine how shocking it is for her to see

Thanks very much you guys and from what I see I still look like her . I just wish someone would come froward with information. I know someone knws something

 

[Lataviahughes]

Jack Mcory friend he use to change with is in the hospital do u guys think I should call and see if he knows anything

 

[sallye818]

I just read through this thread and I think you regulars have done such a wonderful job helping Latavia. What a blessing for CarlK to do an age-progressed photo of her mom. Latavia, this must've made you cry! IT DID ME! Keep up the digging and I know you will get some closure soon, honey! prayers!

 

[Backwoods]

Jack Mcory friend he use to change with is in the hospital do u guys think I should call and see if he knows anything

I guess that has to be your decision. Do you know this person at all -- have you ever spoken with him? How critical is his condition?

My opinion only, but I THINK if I were in your shoes, I might give it a try.

 

[Lataviahughes]

Thanks it almost made me cry just to see what she might look like. And just so happy to have people that care to help me out

Yes when I moved to Macon when I was 21 he use to be at my grandfather house

Wanting to bump Janice's thread up, and also wanting to say to you, Lataviahughes, that I thought so much of you as Mother's Day approached this year and was planning to make a special Mother's Day post here for you and your mom -- but then I developed major problems with my eyes/contact lenses. I really couldn't see to even read at Websleuths for several days, much less try to post. The situation is slowly on the mend and I just have gotten back to posting a little in the last few days. Just want you to know that I WAS thinking about you!! I was feeling grateful, too, that you had CarlK's age progression of your mom as kind of a Mother's Day memento, at least.

Looking forward to hear about any progress being made by anyone!

 

[Roselvr]

Just entered her; I'm waiting to hear her height & weight then it gets submitted to Pamela Reed the case manager. I uploaded the arrest photo with the sign cropped out; also Carl's recon. I uploaded the arrest photo too but am not going to allow it to be shown to the public unless Latvia wants it to

Janice Hughes, a 30-year-old mother of five girls, was last seen in Macon, Georgia on June 8, 1991. She called her mother at 1:00 a.m. to say she was coming over, but never arrived and has never been heard from again. Her mother Isabell Hughes reported her missing on June 22, two weeks after her disappearance.

Hughes's live-in boyfriend (who is now deceased) last saw her at 10:00 p.m. on June 7, a few hours before she called her mother. The couple had a history of domestic violence in their relationship.

In the years since, officers have continually searched digital records for Janice Hughes’ Social Security number, but there is no sign of activity.

Authorities believe she could have been the victim of a serial killer, but little evidence is available in her case.

To me, it sounds like all well done, Roselvr! Thanks so much for updating us. Still having some problems with my eyes, but trying to stay tuned as well as I can.

 

[Roselvr]

Have not heard from Pamela Reed yet but I know she's been really busy. I sent her an email asking about the height; entered as 504 on MP report as 505 on arrest record; I assume 5'4"/5'5". Weight was 125 on arrest record; 145 MP report. I can't see how she gained 20lbs in a few months after her last arrest on her birthday.

24 year anniversary in a few days. Hope her profile is online. This will be her URL NamUs MP #28874

I have had great eye sight all of my life until the last year; the connective tissue disorder that I have has made my eyes really decline (IMO). Night driving stinks; can not read my cell without glasses. I can not imagine what you're going through. Hope you heal quickly!

Thank you so much. I'm pretty much healed (as much as I'm gonna, LOL) now, but have eye dr. appt. next week to get new contacts and glasses. I made the mistake that many caregivers do, I'm afraid, and let some of my own needs go unattended for too long, until I did some damage. It's gonna be OK though!

 

[Backwoods]

Well, when it rains, it pours -- first the eye thing with me, then a respiratory ailment that sent the family member for whom I'm caregiver to the hospital (home now) and knocked me really low as well (getting better now). But haven't forgotten Janice nor Lataviahughes!

Checking the NamUs link Roselvr posted, looks as if it still isn't fully active yet...?

Have to say that once I got over 45, my immune system tanked. This was the 1st time in 2 or 3 years that I didn't get sick with something. Turned 50 in March. Been a caregiver twice, it is not easy.

Checking the NamUs link Roselvr posted, looks as if it still isn't fully active yet...?

I had checked it yesterday or the day before. Will try to email Pam later to see what's up. Latvia even gave me the MP report & jail record which I attached. I expected the profile to go online quick
