Very good point about the shoes,never thought about that.....makes sense.

I just spent tonight reading through this entire thread. It's inspiring to see all the effort so many people have made to identify this girl. Very sad that she is yet to get her name back. One thing I was thinking was that her shoes don't seem like the type of shoes one would wear if they were running away for a long time--who would want to be wearing high-heeled anything, even wedges, for days or weeks at a time (hence why she had apparently taken them off when she was seen by the witness(es). It makes me think that if she was a runaway, she was a very recent one--that is, she ran away specifically to go to the prison to see whoever it was she had plans on seeing. That just makes it all the more frustrating that she hasn't been ID'd because you would think a recent runaway would've been easier to match. Then again, things were different in 1980 and maybe wherever she had come from never even heard about this case. *sigh*

How far is it from the Aransas Pass area, where she said she might be from, to the place where the car dropped her off?

From Aransas Pass to Huntsville I would say about five hours.It is a stretch.When I think of the distance it makes me think,"that is one brave little girl".

Yeah, but it's a distance that she could reasonably have thought she could make there and back in just a day, or overnight. Nevereverever's observation about the shoes made me think of that.

Yes true,when your young its to easy to misjudge things.Every person that saw her that day said all she had in her hands were a pair of high heels,no purse no bags.Whatever belongings or I.D in her pockets were kept by the killer.

Hey guys. I have been lurking for a while on this thread. I know this is probably a long shot but has Teresa Byers missing from Kilgore, Tx been eliminated? The only photo I see of her is so blurry and at a weird angle it's hard to say for sure exactly what she looks like but something about her is a little similar.

Teresa seems too old and too tall. Also, she had cross-like scar on her hand that wasn't present in the UID.

This is a case that I follow closely. I hope this will be the year we will be able to give her back her name.

I see what you mean about the resemblance, and she's from not that far away. She is quite a bit over the estimated age, though.

I just completed a very rough reconstruction of the victim. I know I'm nowhere near as good as Carl, of course, but I figured that an image of her from the side wouldn't hurt to share.

Just revised both of my recons for WCJD, and combined them into a single image.

Love it! Any way you can add a pair of shoes to hold in her right hand?

 

[carbuff]

Very nicely done, Carl.

Has to be my most favorite recon that you've done! The shoes are awesome but the truck stop is out of this world!

Now more than ever I feel like I know this girl -- maybe because your interpretation is so lifelike and I've been following her case for so long. But she looks soooo familiar.

Well I'm happy you've got to much time on your hands Lol thank you for this. I really appreciate all the puctures.

Heels? She was wearing heels? I know I've probably read this but its just sinking in now. I'm sorry but no girl is going to just go hitch hicking to a prison wearing heels.
Are we sure this was where she was actually headed? Maybe she was out drinking with her boyfriend amd he got picked up and she was actually looking for the jail?

 

[Tssiemer]

Love this theory.
