KY PROJECT KENTUCKY - Unidentified Persons Cold Cases

[bflocket]

Did you hear any more on this one @bflocket ?

Nothing new. They're still unidentified. The mother and some other relatives coincidentally have some pretty common surnames and I'd heard of people with both names the same. So I was sure my mother of her brother probably knew them from school - but they moved to the area and would have been at our local school (then -1-12 as no kindergarten, preschool, etc) after my grandparents moved to Bardstown.
I still think that it's strange that it could be a man that is real and was in the local area.

I don't know if I'd posted it in this thread, but female (skeletal) remains that I thought could be related to serial killers Cable/Clopton is now on NamUS. They were found near the Nelson/Washington line in a creek near the Beech Fork, somewhere near Manton Road (KY-605). They were quickly ruled not to be Crystal Rogers.

I saw this on some Louisville TV websites. They're saying that it's female and that no foul play is suspected but nothing else yet. I can't tell if they suspect who this could be or not.

I do try to keep this spreadsheet as updated as possible and as frequently as I’m able. Rows highlighted in light purple indicate cases being worked by either DDP or Othram.

I’ve got a lot going on and often miss updates, so don’t hesitate to remind me!

I was going through old (unidentified found before 2005) cases recently uploaded to NAMUS and I came across this one. There's no age range or clothing description given:

Louisville, Kentucky, Adult White/Caucasian Female, 5'6", 150 pounds, found July 8, 1982, "Apparent hit and run victim found lying on I-264 East near Taylorsville Road exit", brown hair "straight, up to 7 centimeters", blue-green eyes, and "Striae (stretch marks) on lower abdomen"

I happened to see an article about unidentified remains that were found at the bottom of the Kentucky River (in the 1979?). It’s not detailed at all and is basically just a tease….

Human remains found at the bottom of the Kentucky River 45 years ago have finally been identified, according to the Lexington Fire Department. The remains were initially discovered during a dive team training exercise.​

A newly entered KY case in Namus: UP132267 found last month - decomposed remains of an adult female with greying hair found "on a hill". She was tiny - only 4'9" and 80-90lb.

 

[bflocket]

I cannot find anything to suggest that this person is still unidentified, or even that he existed at all, besides this one article.

I remember seeing something about a woman getting hit by a car on one of the Watterson Expressway exits in Louisville. I hadn’t heard anything about an ID, but assumed that was the case since she “disappeared” from the internet.

It looks like she was re-added to DoeNetwork (I’m assuming that’s where I saw her to begin with). But I thought the old profile I saw happened at the Bardstown Road exit, not the Taylorsville Road one. Those are exits very close to each other, but definitely not the same one. But the story and stats are too similar to be somebody else.

I’m from this area. My mom had to be placed in the nursing home close to this area for a little while the previous year. What’s weird is nothing has been on the news or newspapers Nothing! Can’t find anything online either. Asked a friend who lives in the town she hasn’t heard anything about it either. My first thought was someone from the Nursing Home had gotten out..
