Got a wonderful email today! Both Jock and Jane's DNA info was entered into NamUs! Check out the links below!

Jock: https://identifyus.org/cases/13772
Jane: https://identifyus.org/cases/13773

I was on their profile yesterday because I redid their narrative since Carl redid his recon; never looked. Even though I got them entered in NamUs I never followed them until now lol

Jacques allegedly told the man in SC that his father disowned him for foregoing a medical career to become a teacher. Jacques and "Jane" were traveling in the summer of 1976. Had he been a teacher, he would have been on summer vacation. Matches from Grant's Truck Stop were found on Jacques. This place reportedly is/was located in Montana. Speculation is that Jacques and Jane were traveling across the United States.

I am puzzled that no one has came forward to inquire about missing family members, friends, associates, etc.

Too much has been made of the fact that these two were not reported missing.
I supose today LE would take a missing person's report with few details, but that would not have been the case in the 1970s. In order to file a report of a missing person, the relative would have needed to know where the person went missing, and that would have been nearly impossible with a couple traveling across the US. Either victim's relatives would have been turned away by LE. (Morever, Jacques may have been estranged from his family.)
There were and are francophones throughout Canada, but the "Grant's Truck Stop" matches suggests that the couple may have travelled through the western US, perhaps Boise, Idaho, and/or Montana, so perhaps down I-84. For that reason, I think it is likely that they came from Alberta or the very eastern part of British Columbia. I mention eastern BC only because 1) the Kamloops area experienced quite a bit of growth between '71 and '76 and might have needed teachers and 2) Northern Health is today based in Prince George, BC ;I don't know what sort of presence it had there in '76. The most likely metropolitan areas for the two are Calgary and Edmonton. Jacques may have taken education courses at either The University of Calgary or the University of Alberta.

I read an article about how Carl did the recons, and it looks like he used Courtney Cox as inspiration, am I right Carl? Great work as always of course

I never heard of a Grant's Truck Stop in Montana. Maybe you are confusing it with the one on th AZ/NM border. Do you have a source for this?

Wonder how hard it will be to get DNA from Argentina to compare against these two. I like the recon of Jock but Jane doesn't look quite right. Maybe a little more definition of the angle of bottom jaw. Not criticizing, just seems like it was softened too much compared to the morgue pics.

I turned this potential match into the RCMP back in April. I think I mentioned it somewhere on here about a hundred pages back lol :happydance:.
I got a canned response stating that they would pass it along to the powers that be on his case, but I have doubts anything ever came of it. Great minds think alike, though!

Riquier, Jacques, Percival. Click to enlarge.

Just visually, he could be either of them.

Not only the eyebrows, but the downward slant of the eyes and the general shape of the face.

I don't think Riquier's face is as long as the photo shows; it looks to me like it could have been stretched while scanning.

Who are the McMinn's?

Shouldn't the McMinns have been ruled out by now? I ask because I found an article dated 2012 where someone was working on matching them. CarlK is even mentioned in the article and it sounds like the person researching this is/was a member of WS, but I don't know their screen name, it only lists their real name. Of course, I'll feel like a total idiot if it turns out to be someone I interact with on here all the time, LOL. Anyway, if I had to guess, DNA for both the UPS and MPS have been available for comparison for at least two years, if not more, and the former coroner was aware of the potential for a match since 2012 as she is quoted in the article. If she was aware back then, I'm sure the current one is, too. Wouldn't this have been a rule out by default? Or am I missing something and it's taken over 2 years to get a yay or nay? http://www.singletonfamily.org/getperson.php?personID=I280980
