Why why why, To many years should of never been this Long,Come Home Nadine

Was her plan to walk from Inkster to Taylor?
According to Google maps, it takes more than 2 hours. May she have hitchhiked? If she went towards Michigan Avenue, we must take into account there's a wooded area along the avenue: Lower Rouge Parkway. Was it ever combed?

Inkster and Taylor border each other. Not sure where you got "two hours" from.

Inkster and Taylor border each other. Not sure where you got "two hours" from.

It depends on the addresses, right? 3 m.p.h. would probably be top speed for a young woman of average height who wasn't intentionally "power walking." Google maps may use a generic speed of 2 or 2.5 m.p.h. for everybody, and it probably adds in time for waiting to cross intersections, etc.

I would like to know the specific addresses of the places Nadine had left and planned to visit. I'd also like to know what addresses Coral Watts was associated with when he lived in the area. There's been speculation that he was living in western Michigan at the time, but I wouldn't take that as gospel, and even if he had moved away, he might have visited his old haunts from time to time.

That's from the center of Inkster to the center of Taylor. She was walking a couple of blocks to meet her boyfriend, not a two hour walk.

Thank you. I didn't have that info.
Do you know where her home was?

 

[Nina Michigan]

from NAMuS - Nadine was last seen shortly after 9:30 a.m. walking down John Daly Road toward Michigan Avenue in Inkster. She was going to babysit at her boyfriends house, but never arrived at her destination in Taylor. Her boyfriend was on the way to meet her and arrived 20 minutes later and had not crossed paths with her.

I don't have a home address for her.

Back in the day I could make the walk in under a hour, where we would normally meet was about 20 to 25 minutes

What class year was the inscribed on the ring ? I'm curious because sometimes people sell old class rings online they may find over time. It would be good to know the year so I could google and see if anything comes up. Also would the ring have had THS for Taylor High School on it?

I'm going to be honest with you I believe the ring that was being labeled on this site is mixed up it's described as the ring that her brother Philip Odell got from his wife as a wedding ring which was a Redford Union high ring with the blue stone a person I believe wrote that statement what happened to be her brother Frank Nadine's brother and due to a stroke he had a few years ago I believe he is mixing up information from the case but I believe he is closely following this case

Her dad's name is Franklin Monroe O'Dell and her brother is Franklin Monroe O'Dell I've never heard of her dating a Frank from my dad Phil Odell or his sisters Shawn, Robin ,talena (aka)Tina, Vicki Brenda it seems strange to hear that the boyfriend name is frank hear and not from them my grandmother never even mentioned that her name was Yvonne

 

[Robert O'Dell]

Her brother Alan was incarcerated for raping my cousins his niece and nephew rumors run rampant in the family saying that her mom's dad molested everyone of her siblings she was one of 9 kids rumors also state her mom pulled the police report and that her grandfather built a shed on a cement slab says later rumors also say Alan and Franklin were close to their mom's dad grandpa Frenchie

 

[Robert O'Dell]

If I can recall Right it had "THS" and I do believe "76", it was white Gold "Chrome" There were a lot of Pawn shops on Michigan AVE at that time, did do some Hunting on my own but found nothing,if it was Pawned. Might have even had a Rams head on it! Stone was Blue.

he's describing Nadines brothers wedding ring which actually came from Redford Union high and honestly this is the only place I've heard of the ring being mentioned i believe frank 57 may know something more about this case

The Ring I described came from Phillip wife Tammy and was her graduation Ring that my grandmother was extremely mad she used as a wedding ring but to hear it's description hear from a frank knowing Nadine has a brother frank who had a stroke and mixed up every family story because of his memory being affected this reminds me of his stories that made no sense

Also my sister passed away the silver Ring on her hand I believe my other sister retrieved it from the medical examiner but the ring described is definitely a Redford Union high class ring
