Toddler's Mother/Peaches/Jane Doe #3

Or the "letters" may just be dark veins drawn onto the leaf.

Yea of it osnt lettefs that's what I was thinking at first

 

[Evey]

When I first saw it I figured it was badly done veins if a leaf because I don't believe she would just have random reply letters tattooed unless the killer did it

Hi there, here's the (now useless) link.

But, as you can see, unfortunately, it no longer works.

Is it just me or is this the 3rd "off duty" cop that found a body of LISK's?

Hi Websleuths-this is my first post. I've recently started following the LISK case and here my thoughts on how to ID peaches. The best lead as to ID Peaches IMO, from is according to Steve Cullen, the possible tattoo artist, that she was from Bristol CT. There are three high schools in Bristol, CT- Bristol Easterh High School, Bristol Central High School, and St. Paul Catholic High School. I immediately thought of yearbooks. Unfortunately, I checked classmates.com and there are only a few random years in 70s and 80s. The good news is that the Bristol public library has an extensive collection of yearbooks according to there web site. They even have copies of most middle schools. I would love to spend an afternoon looking through them. Here is a link: http://www.bristollib.com/public-services/bristol-history-room/collection/
Bristol is only 3-4% African American, so I don't think Peaches would be that hard to find, if she lived and grew up in Bristol. My guess is with FB and google most could be elimiated quickly.


One of the high schools also has a FB page. Maybe people there may know of an African American girl nobody has heard from in years.
What does everyone think of my thoughts?

Good thinking nedflanders, but one thing I do remember is that she told the tattoo artist that she is from the Bronx or Rhode Island and that she was in CT because she was having trouble with her boyfriend at the time.

She said she was from CT.

Even if Peaches didn't graduate from a High School, they have archives of middle school yearbooks too.

Both are right she was visiting from the Bronx but was originally from Bristol according to Cullen.

Steve Cullen, the owner of Phantom Tattoos in Forestville, remembers inking the odd tattoo.He even remembers the woman — a light-skinned African-American about 21 years old. Visiting from the Bronx, she came into his East Main Street shop on a Saturday night two decades ago with a female friend who lived in the area. They mentioned going to a party in East Hartford later.
That’s all anyone knew about the murder victim — until Saturday.
Talking to a documentary film crew that came to town to talk to Cullen as part of its effort to learn more about a series of slayings on Long Island that appear to be the work of a serial killer, Cullen dropped a bombshell.
The girl with the tattoo — who seemed sweet, educated and easy to talk with — told him she was from Bristol.
Though he said he’d told the police in New York that Bristol was her hometown long ago, in all of the extensive coverage of the so-called “Peaches” murder, that key detail had never been mentioned before.

Now look at this article:

He had drawn the tattoo on her the year before the homicide. Cullen recalled that the woman was from New York and had come to Bristol to visit friends. She had entered his studio with another black woman, he said. While she got her tattoo, the two women remarked that they were going to East Hartford later that night to visit another friend, Cullen said.

“In 19 years of practice and 32 years of being around the industry, that is the only tattoo I have ever done or seen of a peach,” Cullen said. “And unless you’re from Georgia, tattoos of peaches are very rare.”

Cullen said the woman did not have a southern drawl to her voice nor did she have a Spanish or urban accent.

“She seemed like a good kid, not the trouble type, just a typical fun-loving kid,” the tattoo artist said. “I got the impression that her friend was definitely from the [Bristol] area.

From the doenetwork:

With no leads to the woman’s identity, the police published a picture of the approximately two-inch wide tattoo in a national tattoo magazine, in the hopes of finding the artist who did the work. They received a call from a man in Connecticut who claimed he remembered giving the tattoo to a woman. The artist said he remembered the customer as a young black woman, about 18 or 19 years old, who was accompanied by two women, an aunt and a cousin. During the session, he also claimed she told him she was from either the Bronx or Long Island and that she was in Connecticut because having trouble with her boyfriend at the time. It is possible the woman had other tattoos on her arms or lower legs that the killer did not want found.

I guess that is why I don't have much faith in Cullen's story, the details seem rather fluid.

Yes I agree with both of you. He either doesn't remember correctly or somehow mistaken.

Agreed Cullen is all over the place. Its just another maddening piece to the puzzle.

It is written, though, with certainty, that he told the police Peaches hometown was Bristol.

 

[fred&edna]

While tattoo designs don't always hold meanings these days, I think they might have back in the 90s, AND I wonder if any of the girls might have been employed by the Forbidden Fruit (cherries and peaches) club in Ronkonkoma. I think the business has been around a long time. Also wonder if any members of law enforcement frequented the club as customers.

And, I'm curious if the owners of this club own other strip joints... maybe in Queens or ???

Just a reference to the incredibly small size of the letters that people believe they are seeing.
