Is MJD Tawni Lee?

[christine2448]

Just got phone with investigative producer Jodie Heisner for local ABC news. (they had wrapped up the WS/MJD story yesterday...can you believe it!?!)

She is writing the script and the show will air as soon as she has confirmation.

She wanted a phone interview with me and I suggested Belive09 (I hope you all don't mind). She has a great voice and knows this case inside and out.

Jodie has already interviewed Det Lancaster and is meeting with brother.

just keep swimming just keep swimming

Thanks Dee, I didn't forget you. We worked together a little on the Chicago Jane doe case. Of course I would not forget a fellow Chicagoan either. :blowkiss:

Yes, we did! That was another sad one for me, but I'm so glad she was identified too! MJD's been one of my "primary cases" for a while now. I bounce between this thread, Maura Murray's thread, Stacy Peterson, and Caylee Anthony.

And of course I could never forget a fellow Chicagoan either, even if you are a Cubs fan.... GO WHITE SOX! LOL :blowkiss:

Someone should tell the other truck driver too the one that was quoted in the most recent newspaper and maybe the car lot guy too.

OMG you guys I cant believe this day has come talk about mixed emotions...

I really want to see the REAL Tawni, a picture she would have liked to have on the net......

You know who girls are ( like OMG mom I cant believe you have THAT pic of me up I look horrible) LOL

I want to know Tawni, her likes hobbies etc etc

I think its time to take a break and spend some time with DH. Besides, my butt is falling asleep. Til later y'all! Hope when I come back we have confirmation!

Me too, phenol! I can't wait. But you are right, extremely mixed emotions.

Nothing wrong with your voice on the phone. Although I suppose the constant bleeping from the censors would be distracting. :blowkiss:

The timing is amazing and uncanny with this. The reporter just finished the story.. We waited for so long for so much info...

I think TLM had a hand in this timing.. I think she had more to say and something will be revealed in helping others as a result of this... It's just a matter of time for it to be revealed, and it will be to different people in different ways.

I am glad to know now that her family knows how much we love her, as she does too.

Now that we're just waiting..

I've got to know, what brought YOU to Tawni's case?

My story is that I was looking for a friend of mine, and TLM shared an uncanny resemblance to her. I could not locate her on whitepages, but I eventually found her on myspace, thank God. I graduated junior high with her, and since I couldn't recover any contact info on her I started looking through obituraries and "Jane Doe" cases since she came from the "bad part of town", if you know where I'm going. Anyway, TLM looked very similar to her, and it kind of just stuck. I tried sleuthing some information on her after I found out she wasn't my friend, and ran across Websleuth's and became a member here to put in my two cents since I grew up around the Phoenix area.

So, what's YOUR story?

(Would've posted this in Kitchen Sink, but it really isn't off-topic..)

Before become mod/admin here, my passion was working on UID cases. Speaking for those without a voice.

I started a myspace page for UID's, she was one I picked to feature.

(I haven't worked on my page, sadly, in some time...someone here volunteered to help me with it, I can't remember who, please PM and remind me..I really need a few things deleted, like yesterday)

I've been reading along all the while though I never had too much to offer. I have a love of all things Arizona so the title caught my attention but then the story caught my heart. I only have a handful of cases that I follow daily and this has been one. I'm so pleased that she may have a name.

quoting myself to add... She sure did get the full circle of events in place. the reports, pictures, news, shaine, LE just reinterviewed RA. When taking into consideration this story was first posted at WS in 06.. it's amazing the amount of info which has become available to us in just the past few months.

I remember my initial image when I first read this story. That she had been picked up at a convenience store- something like a Circle K or 7-11 in a remote area.. truck stop kind of area in the evening hours rather than the daytime. how different the truth was......

Continued thoughts and prayers for TLM and her family.

This case has really taught me to not lose hope on anything..


Praying, hoping and waiting..

I kind of stumbled upon this case while browsing through the threads and was hooked from day one. She seemed around the same age as me back in 1999 (I was 18, going on 19) and she seemed to have a similar past as mine (troubled family life, runaway, hanging with the wrong type of crowd, etc. minus the alleged prostitution, of course).

I have had people say why are you wasting your time your never gonna identify her etc etc

Now that we're just waiting..

I've got to know, what brought YOU to Tawni's case?

I was just web surfing grocery store websites (history stuff) and on one message board a poster wanted help in identifying a plastic bag found with unidentified remains in PA. http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/349ufpa.html

So,while looking at missing person sites, I found Websleuths, and was hooked on TLM's story after reading a little of it. And the rest, they say is history... :Banane37:

Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

Do we know the correct spelling of her first name? (If it is confirmed to be her.)

Good job, guys.

 

[Lucy's mom]

Just websurfing UID's. I came across this website and then MJD's thread and have been here ever since. I've lurked since February and then finally joined as I saw how everyone was so passionate about finding out who she was.

Me too. I am glad to hear I am not the only one who takes heat from family for spending my time with these type of cases.

I know what you mean. That's partially what drew me to this case, too. I will be 20 in a few weeks, and she seemed closer to my age bracket, so I felt as though I had more similarities with her than say some of the other UID's. Of course, she would have been older than me in 1999. I was out on my own by age 16 and know what a struggle that is..

She would've been around the same age as my older sister, just a few days apart, in fact.




I looked up the meaning of Tawni. It means golden brown, like a lion's coat.
