I'm not sure if I'm missing something but I can't seem to understand is how come only 2 locations came foward in seeing wcjd. I'm guessing if she was hitchhiking somebody else would have seen her and not only in Huntsville but in other cities aswell

It seems like she hitched into Huntsville. The story is she left the first gas station walking north on Sam Houston Ave. This goes right through a college town where lots of kids would be out for Halloween. So, who knows if she had hitched in from far away, and she would have blended right in near the University.

I agree. I currently live in Houston and I've shown kathy's pic aswell as wcjd pm pics to people that have been around since those times and no one recognizes her and I'm from south texas very close to corpus and asked my family members but no luck either. I'm sure somebody out there knows her, it takes the right person to see it!

Right, and that's easy to forget. Unfortunately, not everyone has seen her photo. But somewhere knows who this girl is...people don't live life completely unknown. All it takes is the right person to not see it, and it will take much longer to solve.

Hopefully, the right person does see it, and she can go home! I am so hopeful for this in 2016! She deserves her name and peace. And she deserves justice for an innocent life lost!

As I said elsewhere, the killer of our Walker County Jane Doe was likely very experienced at murder as he knew to jam her body cavities with her own panties and pantyhose so she wouldn't bleed all over his car and therefore no stains would be seen by people involved in his non-serial killer life.

Those are things that sex killers sometimes do without a reason beyond their own sadism.

Hi, guys. I somehow stumbled upon WCJD's story on FaceBook a few weeks ago and have been almost obsessed with giving her back her name. I'm almost caught up with reading through this whole thread and was wondering if anyone looked into Theresa Hammon being a possible match? I know the date is off but what if there was a mistake in doing the paperwork?

Welcome to Websleuths, and thanks for joining.

Theresa Hammon does resemble WCJD somewhat. But even if you accept the premise that her Date LKA was six months off, I still think it's very unlikely that she is WCJD. her eyes are the wrong color, and she has a mole under her left eye that WCJD does not have. Add in that the circumstances of her disappearance suggest that she was a victim of foul play in California. It doesn't look like she wandered away voluntarily, much less to head to Texas to visit someone at a prison. If she did, she would have taken her own car and packed some of her belongings.

 

[BayouGypsy]

Yeah, I guess you're right. I was so hopeful. LOL When I saw Theresa's picture, it was exactly how I imagine our WCJD to look. I didn't even bother to read anything. Sorry. Ya'll are an amazing group of people. Thanks for all you are doing.

I do not believe those were her panty hose. Texas weather is changing in October/November but it is still warm. Jeans and panty hose seems a little too warm. Also, I do not recall ever seeing anyone wear panty hose and sandals in tandem.

 

[paul1980]

So the killer had ladies pantyhose and a blunt instrument in his Murder Car. Since he can't have known that this girl would wander into his path... this is not a crime drama where the serial killer's murder spree will always end up being a battle of wits with the detective, psychological cat-and-mouse, rather than simply impulsive and opportunistic acts of self-gratification.

1988 we did. Also knee high panty hose

 

[BayouGypsy]

I remember wearing pantyhose under my jeans, too. I wonder, though, if she was seen holding her sandals then she was walking around in stockinged feet? Would the investigator have noted if the feet of the pantyhose was torn and dirty? That would be one way to determine if perhaps they were hers.

Yea that's true that makes sense but what I can't understand is how come no one else saw her let's say if she was coming from corpus or that area I don't believe she got to huntsville without being unseen by anybody else in other places.

All there is to do is keep on sharing her story untill someone does see it. I also believe this is her year! Everyone has been doing an amazing job I just can't believe how wonderful everyone is in here. Thank you for everything!!

Maybe she thought it would be best to wear something warm since she was hitchhiking and probably going to be sleeping in her clothes. And I've heard it was usual back then to wear them all the time.

I agree. She had to have been seen by someone else in TX; I think the problem is, that accounts of her murder weren't published state-wide

Oooh okay makes sense now.

 

[carbuff]

Yes, I can confirm that wearing pantyhose under jeans was common in 1980--jeans fit fairly snugly then and the hose gave you a smoother line underneath, with no panty line. Sandals were mostly strap-style, not thong-style, so the foot wasn't a problem.

Also, jeans were being worn pretty much everywhere.

Folks, can someone link the initial post regarding Kathy from Corpus Christi? I can't find it & would like to catch up.

Thanks, Laughing
