thanks hmg...sorry i misread, didn't realize Believe was point of contact.

Det. Charboneau, I believe, retired. New contact for VT LE is Detective Lieutenant Glenn Hall...

here is a link to Grace's sisters website with contact for Det. Lt. and a timeline that y'all can look at: <modsnip: broken link>

 

[hmg]

Thanks for the updated contact info.

One thing I noticed from Grace's picture is that her hair appears to be short. We know UID's hair was pretty long. Had Grace been growing out her hair? I think given the timeline/ vitals of this UID, the match would be worth an inquiry but I'm just thinking about a few of the inconsistencies.

Oh my goodness-thank you for the link and now I remember the story.

How were Grace's teeth? I have an email out to the detective for Simone and Granby's chief for a follow up. I will share what I hear....

 

[hmg]

I did e-mail the police contact in Grace's case about this UID. I will report if I hear back.

her sister seemed to think her teeth were okay, but she was a smoker (i thought maybe this might account for the discoloration).

 

[hmg]

Bumping. No word from Glenn Hall.

 

[hmg]

Bumping yet again. I never heard from the detective in the Grace Reapp case.

I drive on this road quite a bit and always think of this young lady.

I know it's unlikely this UID is Ms. Ridinger but here's a recent news broadcast regarding her disappearance:

I think dentals were the weak link for the case, IIRC. Man it would be nice to figure out who this is however....

 

[hmg]

Yes, Simone's teeth were in perfect condition. This UID's teeth were in poor condition and decayed. I think the condition of the teeth pretty much rules out Grace too although there seemed to be some contention about that. I'm thinking that in this case the teeth weren't just yellow like a smoker's would be but actually decayed as a result of very poor dental care over an extended period of time.

Looks like they dug up that shirt Believe was trying to get access to! Here's a picture of the shirt this Jane Doe was wearing.



The Northwest DA is now handling the case. They're very good, Believe and I have also worked with them on a UID case in Warwick, MA in 1989.

Oh and here is a video about the case: <modsnip: broken link>

Wonder if this was a trucker?

Wonder if this was a trucker?

Definitely a possibility but this road is kind of windy and narrow, a little difficult for a truck to get through I think although I'm sure trucks travel on it if they need to. It just doesn't seem like an optimal place if you're a trucker to go if you don't have to.

I know that this is unlikely but you never know -

Wendy Susan Byron – The Charley Project

It could be possible with the date she went missing, the age, weight, and long hair. It's kind of hard to tell but I don't think her front teeth appear to be in very good condition. The only thing that makes me think it's most likely not her is the color of her hair being darker than the UID.

Missing Person Case of Sandra Flynn Fisher – kentuckystatepolice.org

kentuckystatepolice.org

This stands out for me. She came up missing in august (3 months prior to being found), it only takes 2 major highways to get from where she was and where the UID was found, the age is off, but maybe she just aged well? I contacted the police department about a physical description of Sandra. We'll see what happens.

Here's Sandra's profile on Doe: http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/2832dfky.html

I don't think she looks like she'd be mistaken for a 19 year old personally. Also her hair does not appear to be long.
