Brandi Lee Krajewski seems like a pretty good match. Any update on this? Since Baby Jane was in the water for up to 48 hours the scar (if faint) may not have been as visible with exposure to the elements.

Has there ever been a description given of the female adult (mom) seen carrying this child along the interstate highway bridge the Friday night prior to this baby being found in the water? I have searched without success -- although I have seen articles written indicating that both the mom and child were seen by numerous truck drivers- as well as seen at an Alabama truck stop the day previous to the highway incident. A description of the mom might help in this case!!!

Wanted to update the thread to share that the Jackson County, Mississippi Detective who reopened Baby Jane's case has recently received a grant that will help her in the effort to attempt to obtain a DNA profile for this precious baby. Keep your collective fingers crossed that the University of Texas is successful and quick in this important task.

In 1988, a man confessed to killing or being present at as many as 30 people. This man claims to have been part of the Outlaws Motorcycle Gang which travelled all over the USA in the 1980s. When he gave descriptions of some of the killings, he described this one:

*Shooting a female to death and throwing her young child into a river.

I wonder if it is possible that Jane Doe, Pascagoula is the child of thom he was speaking about. Could it be that a teenager had been pregnant, runaway from home and had the baby? Therefore accounting for no one claiming this child after the mother was gone. Maybe along the Interstate 10 bridge, Mother and child had a run-in with the Outlaws who were known to ride along Interstate 10

This is an sampling of some of Lovie Riddles notes.

This is from the Lewiston Daily Sun Saturday morning Sept 10th 1988.

Alabama man claims that he has killed as many as 30 people.

Riddle stated to Detective Peter Herring that he had killed as many as 30 people over the past 13 years.On Aug 24th he recounted to Herring details of numerous homicides and as many as 35 kidnappings in several states and Canada. On Sept 9th he told reporters the material was for a novel he planned to write.

Described as a transient who worked as a cook at inns in Boothbay Harbor and Jackson, NH.

An affidavit filed with the Bridgton District Court complaint states Riddle offered a ride to a woman walking along rt 302 in Fryeburg Aug 13th ('88)and then pulled off on a dirt road and forced her to commit oral sex.

Riddle told Herring in a 2 and a half hr interview of "participating in and being present at numerous homicides" as a member of the Outlaws motorcycle gang.

The document said Riddle did not want his attorney present during the interview because he wanted to get help and not get out of jail. “If it takes 50 or 100 years, get me off the street. Keep me in there till I die, if it will help...”

Herring read from the notebooks. In part, “In the last 13 years I've allowed this force at least 30 times. The same force that drove me to kill in '83 is driving me again"

"The defendant told of kidnapping children in the US and Canada" the affidavit said. “He indicated that he participated (in more than) 35 kidnappings." Among the events described, the document said.

* kidnapping a 4 yr old from Tenn. and delivering him to Quebec.

*Kidnapping a girl named Nicolo aged 8 or 9 from Canada in '86 and transporting her to Texas where he believes she was killed.

*Killing of a male, mutilating his body and dumping it along interstate 10 in Beaumont.

*Shooting a female to death and throwing her young child into a river.

*Being present when a 17 yr old girl was beaten to death with a hammer in Tenn.

*Killing a female in Cape Cod by beating her with a soda bottle and leaving her body under an overpass.

* Beating a female in CT near Hartford.

* Killing two game wardens in 79 and burying their bodies in a field.

Hello Deeds,
When I read your post on the other thread I immediately thought of the Dog River. Here is a link to the newspaper report where Riddle made these statements. http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ZDgpAAAAIBAJ&sjid=D2UFAAAAIBAJ&pg=2231,1945111

Riddle kept a notebook (found in his car) detailing crimes but stated that the notes were for a novel he was writing.

Hi Nola,

Unfortunately, your link would not work... but I have read the article before. The more I look into the diary samples from the article, the more unsolved cases I find that match his descriptions of the murders.

I think like most killers, they like to think they're smarter then everyone else and with that I believe he changed some details of the crimes to mislead.

Another reason why I think there is a good possibility that the diary is real is the way that Riddle provokes within his quotes. It’s very much like other serial killers in the way that they taunted police to catch them.

The details of the murders he does describes (i.e.: cause of death etc.) comes very close to many unsolved murders within the timeline within the 13 year period, 1975 - 1988.

Not to mention that a lot of the murders happen along the interstate, the riding ground for many motorcycle gangs, most heavily within that time period the Outlaws motorcycle gang.

In addition, if he was a member of the Outlaws, they have a ‘no talk’ rule and a don’t sell out your brothers, therefore I believe the "novel" justification was rouse.

This is just my theory, my only concern is that Riddle is getting up there in age. I just don’t want what he has done to die with him.

Only because if he has been present or committed up to 30 murders, the 30 victim’s families should have a right to know what happen to there loved ones and be able to give them a loving proper burial. Also the 30 victims deserve justice!

Could this be her? Brandi Lee Krajewski disappeared Oct. 7, 1982 from California. Baby Jane was found December 5, 1982. Any thoughts?

I sent an e-mail to the MS detective assigned to Baby Jane's case today about Brandi Krajewski as a possible match. I haven't heard back from this detective in a while about the status of Baby Jane's DNA profile. The detective had received a grant to exhume the body and retrieve DNA samples for profiling earlier this year. The last that I heard the samples had been send to Texas for this purpose.

I received a message from the case detective today stating that DNA is being checked to see if the child is Brandi Lee Krajewski.

I have a few questions for any member that has followed this case closely please?

1. Delta Dawn is reported to have been found in the dog river in Pascagoula, MS. (missing children websites) However, I have seen old newspaper articles that report that she was found in the dog river in Escatawpa MS.

2. Do we have a member here that knows exactly the spot in 1982 from the descriptions where this might have been along I-110 and does anyone know where some actual shots of the river and bridge might be? If not, anyone local willing to go take a few? :)

3. I saw this post on another forum that I stumbled across looking for info on Delta Dawn, does anyone know any more details about this confession?
Cold Case Investigations - View Single Post - BABY JANE, Mississippi, 1982

4. Not a question but a search suggestion the current investigator of this case doesn't call Delta Dawn/Baby Doe by that name he calls her Baby Jane.

I was living in this area in 1982 (1981-1986) and have been racking my brain to remember this case but can't. However, I wanted to say a little something on the Escatawpa vs Pascagoula mentioned in your #1. There are alot of little bitty towns in the area. Escatawpa was one..not much there but some houses, at the time. We had a friend whose address was Pascagoula but he actually lived in Moss Point. Unincorporated towns took the address of much larger towns in the area. (when we lived in CO we lived in an unincorporated area called Fruitvale but our address was Grand Junction...we lived in the county not the city and paid different taxes because of it).

So it is possible that this was the case and people are referring to the larger town of Pascagoula. Also, I think more people have heard of Pascagoula (shipyards) vs Escatawpa and use it for a better reference for the area.

No news from Hope Thornton (detective) yet on any DNA update from UT. I sent her an e-mail today and will update the thread with her reply.

I have asked to speak with Hope in person to review this case and get more details about the woman seen walking I-10 in the nights before Baby Jane was found. I want to get a better description of this likely mom and more information about where she was seen in the day's just prior. In addition I want to find out if there is any evidence to connect Riddle to this case.

If she says yes to my request for a personal meeting, do you guys have other leads or questions that you would like me to inquire about? If so, send me a private message or post them here.

Thanks to all of you for keeping this case and thread active!

Any updates on this case?

I am also wondering, is there an update on the case of this little girl?
 
  • #95
I have not heard back from the detective. I will give her a call next week to see if there is any update from the DNA testing.
 
  • #96
I just wanted to bump for this little girl. I was hoping that perhaps someone had heard something about doing DNA testing.

Laini,
I know it's been awhile since you made this post, but I wonder if it was ever called in. I pass by this area where Baby Jane was found about once a month. Since I found out about her, I think about her a lot and have done a lot of searching, hoping to find out who she may be. I came across Brandi a few weeks ago and keep going back and comparing them because they do favor so much, IMHO.
 
  • #98
Guess I spoke too soon. I see now that there was DNA testing to compare to Brandi.
 
  • #99
Does anybody know if the police ever located the truck driver so they could ask him more questions about that night?

Does anybody know if Brandi was actually submitted and was a comparison done?

Thank you......and welcome to a new member of WS!

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children posted a different composite of this little girl --
NCMU1103997c1.jpg

http://www.missingkids.com/poster/NCMU/1103997/1#poster

She's such a pretty little girl -- it seems like someone should be able to remember her and who she is.
