Had forgotten about the weights until it was mentioned in the latest article. Was able to trace it back a few years ago to a manufacturer in Alabama. Their distribution streams included Kmart in which one was a few miles away from where LPJD. All thou back in the day Kmart's were every where and tracing back to where it was purchased would be a needle in a haystack unfortunately.

Dumbell Weights

Believe I've found a possible match



Orbatron UltraKtron - 10kg / 22lb
Manufactured Diversified Products Corp - Opelika, AL (Closed 1998)

James decided to capitalize on an idea for concrete weights covered with plastic derived from Mobile weightlifter Joe Newman. was given the trade name Orbatron. In November 1961

The development of this new plastic enclosed weight material called Orbatron; led the company into new products for lamp manufactures (lamp base weight ballast) and the production of marine anchors.

Sears, Roebuck, and Co. was the first national retailer to purchase a large quantity of weights

Other major retail outlets soon followed, including Montgomery Ward, J. C. Penney, Kmart, Wal-Mart, Zayre's, and Sam's Club

Diversified Products or “DP” became the largest manufacturer of physical fitness products in the world with plants in Opelika, California, Canada, Mexico, and Swansea, Wales.

There use to be a Kmart and a Sears in Slidell. I did ask my brother in law to.see if he could get me some info on her case. Waiting....

And it was within proximity of acouple of miles where she was found. Look back you could drive the service road straight down to the lake front.

Have tossed around that the weight could have come from a boat .... its not unheard of using one for a boat anchor or even crab traps.

BTW TY for asking your BIL

 

[Beekarina]

Side by side LPJD and Heidi Knobel....she has the nice teeth, the right age and the somewhat thicker lips. But still nothing to explain or a hunch how she got from Switzerland to Slidell, LA.

Such a resemblance though....

Such a resemblance though....

I agree, was she submitted?

 

[Beekarina]

I agree, was she submitted?

I'm not sure, but there seems to have been serious discussion on both threads, so I'm assuming she has been? I hope she has been considered.

I’ll email LE, maybe she can be identified by the end of the year!

My brother in law is a detective for st. Tammany parish. Im going to see him tomorrow. I will see if he can find out anything.

Any updates?

AFAIK, Lake Pontchartrain Jane Doe is not an official, or at least publicized, Parabon Nanolabs or DNA Doe Project case.

 

[Bit of hope]

Bumping for LPJD....still hope somebody, technology or whatever is able to find your name and bring you to your last belonging and deserved resting place. Can we? Anybody?...it's about time.

@gnsndr33 did you ever hear any updates?

An excerpt from the article:

(...) "But something else that didn't exist then is available now, Sharp said: genealogy. "Hopefully, genealogy is going to be tremendous in that case. It might trace her back to some relative from 1780 or something like that. They say they do have that capability," he said, though it's expensive.

The producers of a crime program have offered to pay the bill, Sharp said. "They have a pretty high success rate. They have experts on staff, experts in genealogy and in DNA," he said.

The woman's DNA profile has been submitted to open source databases, and Sharp said they are very hopeful that they will finally have a name for the victim. "The most important thing is identifying her," he said. "After that, I think everything else will fall into place."

Does this mean that genealogists are working on her case right now, and it's only a matter of time that she might be identified? (◉_◉)

Were going on a year now that this article came out suggesting that LPJD was in DNA genealogy research ... would love to know where their at today.

This is going to be quite a stretch....Susan Elaine Hallowell (Miller) missing since 1980, from Florida, brown hair, brown eyes, 5'3 -5'4, would have been approx. 30 in 1986, nothing on scars, hip injury, pregnancy or breast implants and she has a daughter. I wish we knew if LPJD had given birth before. Never saw anything about that, except her being pregnant when she was killed.

Florida Missing Persons

Quoted from the Facebook page:

"My mother Susan Hallowell, Miller went missing from our home on Avicado ave in melbourne fl in 1980 and i dont know who to talk to. my grandmother did file a missing person repot back then but she passed away a few years ago my mother was the comon law wife of william john ferry the man who fire bombed the win dixie in tampe fl i was contacted by a miami county detective in Ohio in 2010 i think he sent me a dna kit and it was sent to texas for testing in for a body that was found there a jane doe but came back not a match i just need to know who do i need to talk to so she is not forgotten its getting harder to find the news paper articals that were done on her the police were sure Ferry killed her and burried her at their camp site in Ocal state park but nothing turned up i just need help"

Did you ever heard something back about your question about Heidi Knobel?

 

[Earth]

Is it possible that she could be Gwendolyn Clemmons?

The UID had breast implants, Gwendolyn isn't listed as having them, but that might have not been reported.

This is my pet case. I'd love to talk with anyone.

One day you will have your name back ...

I submitted Kathleen as a potential match for lpjd. I wasn’t searching for a potential match on this case but soon as I saw her missing persons she reminded me upon this Jane doe’s original reconstruction. Kathleen went missing in 1979 there’s no details on previous injuries or a possible accident but she does have breast implants and a scar on her knee noted.

She does look like a solid match!
