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

Nah! LOL.

I've seen that type robe and comforter too, or something similar, and remember thinking that it would look too Summery for me to enjoy year round for a few years.

Another observation about the photo (link on page 7). If the girl is laying on a smaller bed, she's not on it straight and her legs may be hanging over the side since she's at an angle. I also think that someone swept her hair back at the top and fixed the tendril hanging down in front of her ear. If she is dead, and that is a fly, someone had to clean her up some, and put her there.

Yes, txvicki,
You and I are seeing things the same way.
Good idea about her laying on a smaller type bed.

Anyone ?

Very poor quality picture here but does anyone see an resemblance to Kelly Tilley, wanted by the McClain SO.

Anyone ?

Actually there is a resemblance. Kelly seems to have a slighter fuller face and a shorter nose but it is difficult to discern features in that photo.

Anyone ?

I can't make out enough detail to see if Kelly fits or not. Generally speaking, Kelly is a dark haired, young white woman, so I guess to that degree she fits. The photo of her is so washed out regarding her nose and chin that I can't really make a comparison.

It is interesting to note, that with Kelly being on the lam, so to speak, that would make her "disappearance" something nobody would really notice. She could be dead and people would just assume she'd taken off to elude the law. So maybe she fits in that aspect too.

The scary thing is, I don't belileve this would have been done by an angry husband, boyfriend, SO, or anyone else who was just pizzed off about something. This was done by a sadistic egocentric individual who was proud of his work. .

This is what I believe, too, Reannan.

I think I see a resemblence as far as a long nose, thin lips and thin plucked eyebrows but we'd need a clearer picture I think to be any more sure. I do think however this girl is a closer match than Tara Calico.

Ok guys first post here, but I have read everything.

First as much as I want to agree with you SS, I just cant. For me the main thing is the hair. Taras seemed thicker than this girls. The girls in the photo looks much thinner IMO.

Also, If you look right under her ear in the untouched photo, IMO the is some kind of hole or wound there. If you like I can circle it and PM it to whomever wants me too.

I can not for the life of me figure out what that is in the bottom left, that her head is on. It looks strange IMO.

You guys are awesome by the way!!!

 

[cdt0283]

Yeah. It looks like a drivers license photo and the quality is horrible. I still do see some similaries but its difficult because you can only see the profile of the unidentified woman.

There is some resemblance with the eyebrow and chin, but the hair is just all wrong for me. You can't tell about the nose because of the pic quality. Too bad they don't have a better photo of her.

 

[T-Rex]

Funny you guys all mentioned Eighties, because I was thinking those sheets looked very Miami Vice-period, which was around 1985.

Hi Indygal! What do you mean by what her head is lying on?All I see is the comforter type thing. Oh and yes I see the hole or wound you are talking about. Are we sure that's not just some hair? I dunno.

Whoops just went and looked again and actually it looks like the blood/brain matter that is up in her hair.

 

[trixie]

Concerning the robe: does anyone see how the design is in gold which looks kind of filled in or colored in with gold? Well does anyone else see the one design that is only partially filled in or colored in? It looks like this design may have been a pattern she or someone drew on or something and they were filling it in with the gold color and it didn't get finished. Was that about as clear as mud?! lol! I really noticed it when I turned the pic upside down and looked at it. Anybody else see what I see? Maybe the reason we can't find this robe is because it is actually from a home-made pattern?

 

[philamena]

trixie,
I see it. Do you think someone, maybe the victim, was filling in the design with ink? Or could the missing portion of the design have simply washed off?

 

[trixie]

I'm so glad somebody else sees it! Sometimes when you turn the pic upside down you can see new things. To me it looks unfinished.

 

[Reannan]

You guys are amazing. I have been busy with entertaining guest for a Fourth of July party, and all I really wanted to do was get back to the computer and search for that robe or bedspread (or whatever it is). You have all come up with some great ideas. I had not noticed the incomplete coloring on the robe before....it is odd. There seems to be some dissent regarding whether or not she was wearing the robe when she was killed. I am betting she was not. I just think any injury that would cause brain matter to be visible would result in a large amount of blood, and I just don't see it on the robe or bedspread. Therefore....take a mental journey with me into the mind of a serial killer...... if you have just murdered someone, and you need a picture to remind you of them, do you just grab the camera and start taking photographs? Maybe.....but this guy apparently moved her to a clean location, and posed her with her hand in that position after putting her in a robe. WHY? Why would he go through the trouble of dressing her? Maybe the robe belonged to his Mother, or to someone else of significance. I just can't get past the idea that this is a posed picture, and one that was done with a lot of thought. The staging included making sure the victim was in a relatively clean environment and dressed. It had to mean something to him.

 

[Reannan]

Someone, a few posts back (sorry I can't remember who) said she had that "sick day" hair look. I think this poor lady had been held captive for a while, and that is why she had that "sick day" hair look, and why she has dark circles under her eye. It explains the electrical tie or piece of braided robe that you can see in the picture. I think her hands were tied when she was shot, and they were untied when she was dressed and posed for the picture. It does feel strange and even creepy having the picture on your hard drive, but I am glad that all of you are out there to care for her. She deserves someone to care, and she deserves justice.

 

[trixie]

I'm not sure about the serial killer angle. It still seems to me to be the work of a boyfriend or husband and I think she had been in bed maybe asleep prior to........ You know maybe somone came home late and drunk and well...!
I also think it looks like she has a black eye. If you blow up the pic right on that area it looks like an uneven smattering of darkness below the eye. Not really like its just dark circles under her eye.

Also, if we really want to think outside the box what about a hitman? Don't they take a picture of the victim to prove they are dead?And don't professionals shoot in the head? I thought that was a common tell-tale sign of a hitmans work. And that is really the only person I could understand having and saving a picture like this. To show the job has been done.

I don't think the robe has any significance, just MO. I still say it looks like one she may have made herself. It does look too large for her though and that's why I was thinking it may be a mans. That and the pattern to me looks kinda masculine. I agree with you that it looks to have been put on her after the fact and her head was posed to lean the opposite way for the picture if we look at the trickle of blood coming from her mouth to get a refernce for where the blood ran to before.

I think it's a trophy picture, and I do believe this woman was posed. The hand is at an unnatural angle; maybe rigor had set in and that's the way it ended up being laid out. ??? I am wondering if LE cropped more from this photo and the public is only privy to what is being put out there. I'm really glad that the original untouched version of the pic was found. It really puts a whole new light on this case.

 

[trixie]

I know the photo is cropped and thats frustrating. I feel like we would be able to see more of what she is laying on if we could see the whole picture. I wonder what they didn't want us to see?
