I'm fairly new to actually being involved somewhat in a case, but if it's legal, and possible for someone other than LE to gain info, I could print out the photos of the necklace/ring and physically take it to Eden Jewelers down in Casa Grande to see if someone remembers any distinguishing characteristics about the ring. Such as whether or not it was actually in monogram lettering (which would mean that the middle letter would indeed be the last name) or not.
The only problem is without a name of the female who helped LE with the ring, it would be a crapshoot. I suppose I could call down there ahead of time to find out if there are any females who still work there that were there in Jan/Feb of 1999 to see if a trip out would actually be worth it.

FWIW, I think Robins statement is the truth. She knew MJD at least well enough that they had a few personal conversations, and was certain in her statements. There were no "I think's" or "maybe's". She knew her well enough to try to talk her out of prostituting and know she was denied the job at the strip club because she was only 15. Well enough to know she went by "Corey or Carla" (and maybe she used both). She was certain that MJD's pimp was "the guy Phoenix put in jail for bringing the 13 year old girl from back east". That makes sense too, since MJD was new and young, she was easy prey for Alonzo with her pimp being locked up. I don't think a more experienced prostitute would have gotten in a car with another pimp.
Since she doesn't seem to have been in the area long enough to look more than "familiar" to the regulars, and wasn't known by vice..I'd say she wasn't there long. And KL, by his own admission, had only been there a little while. My own opinion is that he brought her there.
So here's my line of thinking: KL is from Wisconsin. Court minutes said he was granted incarceration in Wisconsin to "be near family" which tells me he wasn't a drifter. Wisconsin was "home". He may have only been in Phoenix a little while this time, but he was probably making several trips a year from Wisconsin to Phoenix. He also seems to have been part of an organized ring, since there were quite a few codefendents with charges ranging from running a house of prostitution to money laundering....organized trafficking of these children, with his job being to recruit them, bring them to Phoenix, and get them out working. If I google a map running from Milwaukee to Phoenix, it's likely he went through the following cities:
Milwaukee, WI
Des Moines, IA
Kansas City, MO
Wichita, KS
Guymore, OK
(or he could have shot down another highway into OK city)
Albuquerque, NM
Then into Phoenix.

One of the people on here already found the same kind of ring on a website and determined it wasn't a monogram style lettering where the middle initial is actually the last name. It's an in line style lettering. She even came up with the script name, but I can't recall who it was who came up with the info or what the name of the script was. My memory is going to hell in a hand basket.
FWIW: If it was in the "monogram" style, the middle initial would be larger than the rest, which would indicate that it was the last name. The middle initial on the ring does not (IMHO) appear to be larger than the "D" or the "A", therefore I believe it is just the middle initial and not the initial of the last name.

That was me!I believe the script name was "Silverware Script." I think that's somewhere on Thread #5...
I'm thinking we should focus on missing persons cases from the following states:
* Wisconsin
* Illinois
* Iowa
* Missouri
* Oklahoma
* Nebraska
* Colorado
* Texas
* New Mexico
* Arizona
Does anyone recall where the 13YO was from (the one that KL was caught trafficking)? We should also focus on that state as well. If my memory serves me right I believe it may have been Michigan but I could be wrong on that.
ME Tooooo!!!!I am excited to see the pics that fmw received!![]()

I was thinking that Lipsey could have bought her from someone in Kansas City maybe KC Missouri,
i was looking today and found an address for one of the co-defendents of his a female on the court documents it list her address as
Wauwatosa, WI
one of the others address is Phoenix
This female was born in 1967 Wauwatosa Wisconsin
Does anyone have a list of KL's aliases? If so can you pm them to me because I'm also checking wanteds in and around those cities. Maybe we could come up with a picture of him that way.
