The Doe Network, Part 3: Who is Princess Blue?

[LionRun]

An Altoid would have been lovely. LOL I was glad to do it. A few seconds of *ick* will be worthwhile if we can find the identity of Princess Blue. I also went through the other blocks of the list and added addresses when I found them. Hope no one minds that I reached outside of the block that I was working on. I was motivated this morning.

Good idea!!

Lanie, is she applying here or over at someoneknowsme.com where she will have access to the spreadsheet? Let me know. We do accept free email accounts. All of our new registrations are not validated, but we do check to make sure it's not the forum spammers who have been driving us nuts lately. We just felt that it would be easier for us to not have validation if someone who got a letter wanted to register - they wouldn't have to wait. We can deal with the spammer problem one internet gnat at a time. LOL


Thank you for being blunt. It doesn't matter to me what Princess Blue's past may have been. In my mind she was a human being. Someone that had a personality and whether she had to prostitute or thieve to survive, that doesn't change the core person. Someone, somewhere loved her because she was "family". Families can look past social immorality because sometimes family is all ya' got. I think of Princess Blue as family. She's ours now to love and care about until we can give her back to the people that loved her before us.

I think of Princess Blue as family, too. We have grown to care so much about who she may have been in life, and we want to do right by her in death.

I 100% agree. Until we can return her to her family, she's one of us. I hope and pray that we can solve the mystery of her identify.

Sloane, I would also like to say HURRAY!! to you for getting a name on your UID case. My social skills seem to be non-existant from lack of use.
I am leaving for overseas Monday, and I am trying to get all of our stuff done before I go. We have been having a whole lot of extra rain around here, and it has created unexpected problems for me, and taken a lot of my time. On my block, I have found marriage information for almost all the females, and I was working on getting addresses. I have 5, and have the envelopes ready. I got thrown off balance when I lost access to the spreadsheet temporarily, and that is about the same time everything else came up, so I haven't made any more progress. I have been talking to my daughter about some of the stuff on this website, and she is very interested. She wanted to join Websleuths, so I asked her if she would be willing to pick up my slack while I was gone. I was just going to give her my info and let her email it to one of you to enter in the spreadsheet, and also get my 5 envelopes stuffed and mailed. (I didn't know if we were supposed to also include a list of alumni with the letter, so are we, and if so, where do I find it?) Anyway, every email address she tries to sign up with comes back banned. I tried emailing Tricia, but haven't heard back (haven't checked yet this morning). I thought it might be because we are both on the same IP address. I'm just going to let her use my account while I am gone, and we'll work it out when I get back. She starts a new job next week, so I don't know how much time she will have after that.
If I think of anything else, I'll post it. I've got so much work still to do, plus packing, and I'm still struggling with procrastination, sigh.

Lanie- First of all, GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK!! It's okay that you are "only" as far as you are. All of us have lives surrounding (and besides) our interest in this forum, and all of us understand that. Don't worry about how much you need to do. Start w/ your personal committments, before this. Perhaps your daughter can help, or someone else can while you are gone, if not, work on it when you can. How long will you be away? I hope it is a fun trip!

Secondly, thank you for your nice thought re: "my" recent UID case being "solved." Only part of it is solved, of course. Now there is the crime of it...

Thank you for your interest in P. Blue's case!

This is indeed a lovely thought and moral code by which to live. :innocent:
I believe that a person can choose their "family." The persons that are your blood are not nec. the best persons to surround yourself with. For the lucky some, they may be. I know plenty of families that are beautiful and loving and functioning normally. Unfortunately, I know of 10 times that many that are not. I think one can choose whom to be associated with, whom to surround himself with, and whom to love and care about. It's wonderful that there is a group here of "surrogate" family for P. Blue !

Keep up the nice work, and thanks for the update on the P.O.Box, Jaded!

Lol, when I was talking about all I had to get done, I meant my real job. I get very absorbed in all this research, and I neglected my job some, and then I had extra piled up because I was leaving on this trip.
Hi from Paris. We finally made it. I don't know if anyone caught the news yesterday about a Heathrow terminal being shut down because of ??whatever, but that was my terminal. My daughter and I, along with all the other passengers, spent about 6.5 hours sitting on the plane at the gate, except for the 30 min or so when we were brought back into the terminal (evacuated) to have our persons and our stuff sniffed by dogs. Two of these dogs cracked me up, they looked like slightly larger than normal cocker spaniels with border collie coloring, but they were good at their job. I still don't know what happened, they wouldn't tell us anything, and the only news I saw was in French. I'll look it up later. Anyway, we left our house 11am Monday and got to our hotel 2pm Tuesday. (Paris time 9pm) My daughter is still wiped out, so we probably won't do much today. I'll be working some late at night, and will pop in. I'm letting my daughter still in the states use my account if she needs to ask anything, but she will id herself so there is no confusion.

 

[Jaded]

Have a great time on your trip. Sorry about the delay.

Also, I upgraded the forum software at someoneknowsme to vbulletin (just like here). I THINK the data migration went okay. If anyone has any problems logging in, please pm me here to let me or RKnowley know.

Thanks!!

Good morning Lanie. Have a great time, and if you still have my email, please let your dd know that she can email me if she needs to.

Jaded, I am going to check ske, and thank you so much for all the work you are doing with your site. It is truly wonderful, it helps people, and you are so supportive.

Aw, thanks. That just made my day. I've been up since 10 last night working on the forum and getting everything back where it was before the data import. I am soooo tired and I have to work tonight. I'm loopy. haha!

I'm off to bed. Nite all, and have a safe and happy 4h of July!!

Jaded, you are cement that helps hold our group together and motivate us all. And, I know how much you care about all the missing and unidentified. Night night, loopy one.

I have spent the last several hours trying to get up to speed on the Princess Blue case. Jaded told me about it during our discussion of the picture of a woman found in Purcell, Oklahoma. I am intrigued by the loads of clues that LE has to work with, i.e. the rings, the bracelets, etc. Surely, this girl can be identified. During a quick search, I see where RichandFamous has started a discussion at a topix board for Houston.....which will hopefully help. I also found a website that seems to be run by a guy from the class of 1970 that is trying to keep up with alumni and various reunions, so I am going to email him and send him a link to this site at WebSleuths. It isn't the same year as the ring (1975), but maybe someone had a younger brother or sister in that class...?? I will let you know if I hear from him. Here is a link to his site:

Reannan, thank you so much. We have made it our mission to do all we can to find out who Princess Blue was in life. Please let us know if you hear back from the alumnist, and thank you for the link.

GREAT find, and I also found the alumni list. I went through and sent an email to every single person on it. I only had 5 come back. Cross your fingers that I get some responses back. I asked that they take a look at Princess Blue's photos and the ring - maybe they knew someone who lost a ring, or maybe was pregnant in high school and wouldn't have been in the yearbook if they didn't graduate. Anything is possible at this point.

 

[Reannan]

The email I sent to [email protected] bounced back, but I found another reunion site from the class of 1974, and it had four individuals with emails to contact. I sent them all an email last night, and only one has bounced back so far. I will pass along any responses I get. I am at work today, so I won't have much time to do anything. I did spend some time last night looking for jewelers in the Houston area that I could possibly send an email to regarding that unicorn ring. Possibly, the jewelry community is connected enough to be able to look at it, and see the work of someone who possibly made the ring. It is certainly a long shot, but you just never know what kind of information you might find unless you dig around for it. One of the questions I asked in my emails to the REL alumni was the significance of the "L" which was in the ring. Was that something that was common to put in your class ring for "Lee High School", or was it more likely to be an initial of the ring's owner? If it was an initial, that would help us narrow down the alumni we need to focus on. I think the question about the initial would be helpful information to us, and should be something that LE possibly has an idea about. Can anyone who is in contact with LE ask them about that point?

 

[LionRun]

Thank you Reannan, and I hope that someone from the 1974 class replies. The, "L" on the ring will not help , though because all of the rings had an inlaid, "L" for the mascot, Robert E. Lee. We researched that in the first Princess thread, and we were also hoping that it would be something distinguishing. But, at least the ring itself itself is pretty specific and will hopefully eventually lead to something.

Here is a merged photo of Kimberly Cheatham and Princess Blue. I think it is a very very very close match according to the photo overlays.

Hi rich. I will be working with no access to a computer until after the chat will be over. If it is okay with you, can you give me a run down on it via email? If you are also busy or pressed for time I understand. Thanks is advance, friend.

I'm off that night - someone send me a reminder that day and I will be there. I'll put it in my day runner, too.
