''Brooks started his killing spree at the age of 32, targeting female prostitutes or homeless drug addicts who were the most vulnerable. He used their weaknesses to gain their trust since he had experience out on the streets as well.

After luring the women to abandoned buildings on the city's east side, Brooks would sexually assault them before beating them to death with rocks, sticks, and other items. He then left the naked bodies in the abandoned buildings where the attacks took place. All of the women were black and between the ages of 30 and 54.''
 
I got an email this morning from a family member of a missing woman named Yvonne Renee Scott, missing from Wyoming, Michigan in Jan of 2004. According to the family member Mrs. Scott was involved in survival sex work and crack cocaine and may have been trafficked after her disappearance. Hereis some more info on her and her disappearance.

It is noted that Mrs Scott is Native American (Chippewa) but based on her picture may be mistaken for black.

Thanks for the suggestion! The UID is 5' and the MP is 6', but mistakes in height do happen sometimes, imo.

I don’t think the MP is actually 6’ let me check with her family member
 
Sherry Hudson's NamUs page has also been removed. I think this could be a match.

 
Per DNA Solves, she has been identified as Darylnn Washington.

"This investigation led to the identification of Jane Doe, who is now known to be Darylnn Washington, who was born June 15, 1959. Darylnn’s family was notified of her identification. Throughout the course of the investigation, investigators learned that Washington’s family believed their loved one had been murdered by a serial killer, but her remains were never located."
 
Authorities said in a news release on January 6 that the woman was identified as Washington through DNA testing after the Detroit Police Department reached out to Othram, a forensic genetic genealogy company, in 2022. The company specializes in advanced DNA technology

When Washington’s remains were first discovered at the abandoned house on the east side of Detroit, it was determined that she was a Black female between the ages of 20 and 30 years and that she was about five feet tall. But no other identifying characteristics could be determined.

Washington’s death was ruled a homicide and authorities said it was believed she was a victim of Detroit-area serial killer Shelly Brooks, who allegedly confessed to the murder, according to the release.
