Identified! MI - Ada, BlkFem 22-45, UP2681, healed broken nose, leg warmer, Jul'97 - Stephanie Renee Judson

[amazing-sea-monkey]

I always hesitate to post and mostly lurk, but I am from Michigan so the local cases interest me. I don't know how much consideration to put on the blue leg warmer found next to the body, but if we do, that puts her demise in the 1980's . I remember when those were the RAGE.

In addition to the particulars being reasonably close, Roxanna Brown appears to have an anomaly on the left side of her nose that might correspond to the Jane Doe's "healed fracture on the left side of her nose at the bridge."

How about Fonda Lockridge http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/l/lockridge_fonda.html She went missing from Grand Rapids in 1995 and appears to meet the basic demographics although I can only find a profile photo for her (no straight on photos for direct comparison to the postmortem-generated recon).

Robin Scott https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/30927/460 also went missing from Grand Rapids in 1995. She's a little shorter. There are no photos of her available but DNA has been submitted.

Might be too tall, but missing from MI in 1990. Will list more potentials soon. Leaving work to drive home from work.

Interesting set of names.

Fonda has a very strong resemblance from what little we have to go by.

I find it curious that so many of the rule outs (75%) were missing from Washington. Did the "dark blue leg warmer near the remains" have a Seahawks logo on it but that detail wasn't made public? Very odd...

I mistakenly started a new thread...The first thread is under Grand Rapids....In that thread it said Dennis was ruled-out by dental records...She seemed like a good match...

Investigators turn to genealogy testing to ID ‘Ada Bones’

The mystery of bones found in Ada Township 23 years ago is the first cold case out of Kent County to be submitted for genealogy testing.

The Kent County Sheriff’s Department confirmed it is working with the DNA Doe Project to try to identify the so-called ‘Ada Bones’ discovered off M-21 in July 1997. Though investigators have not said how the victim died, the case is being treated as a homicide.
---
Dental records did not turn up a match for any missing person.
---
Now, detectives are hoping genetic genealogy testing will finally provide answers. Sheriff Michelle Lajoye-Young told News 8 the testing was the logical next step.

“Despite these skeletal remains being found almost 23 years ago, we remain committed to determining the identity of this individual,” she said. “Over the years we have worked extensively to that end, which has included the creation a three dimensional clay model based off of the victim’s skull in 2009. As genetic genealogy has had several notable success stories over the past few years, it made complete sense for us to submit this woman’s remains to the DNA Doe project in the hopes of bringing closure to her family, and also to open a new chapter in this important investigation.”
---
Separately, they hope DNA testing will ID the man found along I-196 in Covert Township in 1979.

Authorities in Berrien County are also partnering with the DNA Doe Project to identify remains of a woman found in New Buffalo in August 1992.
