Identified! OK - OSBI Needs Help to ID Woman In Photo *Resolved*

[lizzybeth]

One other possibility, the gun could have been placed in her mouth. That would explain the apparent abrasion on her lip, although I would think it would have created much more damage to the mouth area if that had been the case. I am seeking the opinion of some "experts" in this area, and will share any information I am able to acquire.

Reannan, I thought about that too. I don't neccessarily think that if a gun was placed in the mouth it would do more damage. I guess it would depend on the angle and the caliber of the gun. I was wondering, and it's a long shot, if it was a suicide. Maybe the gun is in the other hand. Maybe someone in LE passing through dropped the photo by accident. I told you it was a long shot. You guys are so much better at this stuff than I am. There were a lot of things I didn't even notice the first time I looked at the picture.

I wish someone could identify her. I really wish I hadn't looked at that enlarged picture. I won't be able to get this poor girl out of my mind.

Oh, wow! The untouched photo does give us a lot more info!

Could it be that she was struck in the head instead of a gunshot wound? Just wondering if there is another option to her having been shot...I'm not familiar with brain matter (thank goodness) but to me, she looks very close to death...not necessarily dead.

That poor girl...I hope they find out who did this and who she is.

These picture cases really have my mind reeling you guys! OMG!

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is offering up to a $5,000 reward for information leading authorities to the whereabouts of three missing people.
It was 15 years ago that Wendy Camp; her 6-year-old daughter, Cynthia Britto; and Camp’s sister-in-law, Lisa Renee Kregear, were reported missing.

Here is Cynthia Britto....

Good work finding that original photo, KatK!
It's weird the news article showed it sideways.
I think this woman was in her own home, since she was wearing a "housecoat." Also, I think a woman chose those sheets.

Above her head you can see the wood of the headboard. I do think it is a comforter she is on, but not a motel style because all the hotels I have been in had muted colors, not bright. I am thinking it is a girls room because of the colors.

ETA: I see a lot of comforters in these colors for sale in Florida.

IMHO, I do not think that is a headboard behind her. To me, it looks like a thin type mattress that they use in motor homes, campers, or........over-cab trucks. I believe this may be a girl that could have been picked up at a truck stop and yes............she does look deceased.

You can see bruising on her left arm, below where the blood is. It does look like the blood on her arm is from someone's fingers. I thought that thing on her upper lip could be a piercing, but after looking at it with one of my daughters we decided it kind of looked like a ...............bug crawling out of her mouth.

This is so sad. The cleaned-up picture should be shown on something like AMW or NG or Greta, etc. They need a national audience to identify this poor girl. Who knows where she is now. Probably thrown out along a highway like a piece of garbage.

I don't think she was tossed out anywhere, because she would have been found by now. I think this girl is long buried. For anyone that thinks she is still alive, look at her eyes. She is dead. I feel so BAD about this girl. She as someone's little girl. She was once a baby, and a toddler, and someone who went to High School, and.....well, you get the idea. I have wasted so much time at work today looking for that damn robe I could get fired (if they were smart enough to catch me.....which they aren't:innocent: ). Anyway, I think this is the work of a very sick person who has either deliberatley or accidentally deposited that photo where it was found. In either case.....Houston, we have a problem. Who in their right mind would take that photo? Oh, wait....I can answer that - a serial killer.

 

[txsvicki]

The untouched pic is very disturbing. I wonder what would have caused those wounds? There looks to be a darker, maybe scab area on her lip. The girl isn't asleep as some first thought, but I don't believe that if she were conscious she would stick that injured arm up against that wooden frame. The arm looks very raw, and the hand and side of the mouth even deeper. I still think the comforter and robe, the colors, could possibly be from about 6-8 years ago ( I worked in retail for quite a few years). I don't know if a younger woman would wear that type robe though unless ill or placed on her. It looks like something my mother in law used to wear. Has Vanity Fair robes been checked? It's more of an upscale brand. That design on the robe is odd looking. I don't believe that I've ever seen anything so large and contrasting on a robe. Maybe it's a plus size. Also, the woman looks to have auburn highlights and those weren't in style in the 70's.

Authorities in Yukon are considering charges against the two in the September 2002 kidnapping and murder of Samantha Patrick of Oklahoma City. Her body was found in a trash bin behind a Yukon grocery.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1439457/posts

Carl Wayne Lawson, 32, of Lincoln, was charged this week with the attack on an Oklahoma City woman, who picked him out of a photo line-up. The victim told police that during her attack Lawson bragged about the other attacks. According to her statement, Lawson told her "The first 3-4 I killed -- it bothered me, but I kinda like it now."

A nineteen-year-old Oklahoma woman is found murdered. Now police are searching for her killer. But an unsuspecting AMW viewer comes forward to tell police the suspect might be her son. She also tells investigators she's scared of her own child.
http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=31791

I wonder if this disgusting couple could shed light on this, it does'nt explain how the photo recently appeared, but they were in the area, but that was in 2000-2005, but the woman charged in kinda big, maybe it was her robe, and the photo could be in the back of a semi truck....a truck-driving murdering couple, how sick is that...:bang:

 

[LisainWV]

I consider myself to be pretty tough when it comes to pictures like this, but this one is disturbing.

My initial thoughts.....

She definitely looks dead to me.

Her hair is very clean and shiney and her eyebrows are nicely plucked. She doesn't appear to be someone in "captivity" unless she was allowed to keep up her personal hygiene.

I wonder if she is laying in the same place where she was shot? I would think there would be blood and other on every available surface around her (like the headboard behind her). I think she was laid on the bed after she was shot.

And, I personally think her other eye and probably that side of her face is where she was shot.

And along that last thought, the killer wanted someone to recognize this woman. I think the picture was "exposed" to warn someone of something.

I just wonder - where is she now??

 

[kgeaux]

In either case.....Houston, we have a problem. Who in their right mind would take that photo? Oh, wait....I can answer that - a serial killer.

I zoomed in on that picture yesterday afternoon, and the image of this young lady has just haunted me since then. Thank you so much, Reannan, for looking for that robe. You may well come up with the clue that solves this case and brings justice for this lost one.

I literally threw up last night thinking about what kind of a person would inflict such suffering on another person and then stop to snap a photo of his "work." And I think you are RIGHT ON SPOT---it's got to be a serial killer. He needs to be caught.

fran's comments about the tractor trailer/camper look to the photo are very interesting. There have been a couple of cases lately of serial killings in which a driver of an 18 wheeler was involved and dropping bodies off along highways.....I know we don't have a body here, but is it possible that this is a picture of a body that was recovered by another LE along a highway somewhere?

I agree, and I think it is possible that the body may be in another LEA's system as a Jane Doe. Maybe though, she has already been identified, but her murderer not found yet? :waitasec:

Hwy 39 where this picture was located, 7 miles west of Purcell, is close to Hwy 35, which is a main trucking road running N to S and meets up with another main trucking road for the U.S., Hwy 40 running W to E. Oklahoma City is like a cross-roads for international trucking in the U.S.

My sis lives N of OKC and works in OKC. She takes I35 daily and says it's not uncommon for LE to have a truck stopped and them hauling off the driver.

IMHO, I think this woman is probably the victim of a serial killer, from when I do not know. But I do NOT believe the picture was intentionally dropped,......unless this killer is trying to lead authorities on a game of hide-and-seek.

IF this person's normal route was either I35 or I40, they could have dropped her off anywhere, any state, like kgeaux said. It took LE a number of years to realize they had a connection with a string of women's bodies found on roads just off or leading from I35, where the last place they were seen was a truck stop in OKC. The bodies were found in different jurisdictions and different states from Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, Louisiana, Missouri, etc.

There have been more than one long-haul truckers that were found to be serial killers, I believe this woman is a victim of one. This picture was his trophy. He probably has more.

It's hard to relate these disappearances and there's probably more than one serial killer on the loose. What a better way to keep from getting caught than dropping the victim's off in various states etc.

This poor woman. She's probably on one of the lists for missing persons, but like many have said, it's hard to tell how old this photo is. Or, she may not even be missed yet. How sad is that?

[Reannan]

Question for anyone who is familiar with the area where the photograph was found: Is the gas station that the photo was located at, a gas station that people would typically get off of a major route to buy gas, or is it so out of the way, that it would be unusual for someone to exit off of I35 or other major route?

 

[Reannan]

Here is a link to three missing people that I think she resembles:

http://preview.tinyurl.com/2w6x7r
Lisa Magnolia Snelgrove; Missing 10/17/2003 from Apache Junction, AZ

http://preview.tinyurl.com/3dpawn
Lisa Marie Shuttleworth; Missing 9/4/2003 from Beech Island, SC


http://preview.tinyurl.com/2trvkt
Suzanne Rene Richerson; Missing 10/7/1988 from Galvaston, TX


I think she looks a lot like Suzanne Rene Richerson, but the eyebrows are different. Suzanne has a "small scar located over her right eyebrow", and I have tried to enlarge her picture and the mystery photo....but it is easy to start imaging things.

 

[lizzybeth]

I thought the picture looked more like Lisa Shuttleworth. Probably because the hair is so similar. I thought the girl in the picture that was dropped off might be younger than thirty-four but it's hard to tell.

Thanks for posting those pictures.

 

[Reannan]

I actually live in the Aiken county area close to where Lisa Marie Shuttleworth went missing. I emailed the information along with a link to the OSBI photograph and to this discussion at Websleuth's to the Aiken County Sheriff's department.....for what it is worth. I will let you guys know if I hear anything.

Do you think it's a Jane Doe?
I see someone in her own home.
The only point I don't get is why the photo.
Mafia proof is the first thing that came to mind (she looks Italian or Greek to me), but I always prefer to keep it simple, and Mafia's a little far-fetched.

 

[cdt0283]

The last I could find on her mother...she is alive and had moved to Florida. Her father passed away in 2002.

Yes, they photoshopped this one a lot. And they call this guy (forensic artist) a pro?! I don't know if he made it more obvious or not...but sure seems that way to me. No, she doesn't show signs of life, IMO. So very sad to say.

This is the forensic artist who touched-up the photo. Apparently he's one of the best. http://www.harveypratt.com/

 

[Kellee]

I think the photo kind of resembles Christina Carol Burnett-Pitts:
