Could This Jane doe be another one of his victims? Mascoutah is only 30 minutes from St Louis. She has a lot of healed fractures.
Yes, LE has confirmed this is likely one of his victims. I believe there are 4 confirmed Jane Does that he killed

Yes, totally. This decedent, along with 3 others, are believed to be the victims of Travis: 327UFIL, 302UFIL, and 334UFIL. source the Doe Network. The one you are referring to is 327UFIL.

ETA I'm too of my game tonight :)

I’m currently reading a book about Travis Maury called the Bi-State Strangler by Ken Dye. It has a lot of interesting information, and according to LE they believe this Jane doe was deceased for about a year before she was discovered.

I never heard back from Doe network about the potential match between this doe and Toi Mitchell. Still no ruleouts, so I will contact someone from NamUs.

You can always try following up with Doe Network to see what the status is. They are usually pretty responsive!

I dug through my emails and found the Doe Network and asked about it. They told me they never heard back from law enforcement.

I spoke to detective at SLMPD today and they said Toi Mitchell is a match to a UP in Illinois. Weird, because the only rule out I see for Toi is a UP12204 in Illinois.

Did they say which UP she is a match too?? Hopefully that is announced soon!

No. It was kind of an off putting conversation tbh. I’d hope they’d update NamUs if it’s, in fact, true.

Was this a recent finding for them? I’m surprised I haven’t heard any news about it.

Just checking back in, and Toi Mitchell is still listed as missing on NamUs. Can't find any recent news about her being found.
It's baffling that this Doe has no ruleouts listed considering there was an active serial killer in the area when the body was found.

Carol is 302UFIL


She doesn't appear to have had a thread of her own.

I'm likely going to make a thread for the unknown and unidentified victims. There's 3 remaining jane does, and potentially 4 more unknown victims that haven't been attributed to him yet.

He claims he killed 17, they've only found 12

Hopefully this will encourage St. Louis/MO to upload all their missing person cases into NamUs. Rest in peace, Carol.
