I pray she is ID'd before the 37th anniversary.
That's an awful long time and a long time for not contacting family and friends.
Someone has to be missing this Angel.

Off topic:
I have been looking for a dear friend of mine who was a BFF from my time living in Cincinnati (1982-83) when I was 15-16. We lost touch soon after I married after HS.
Two times I went back to visit with no luck finding her.
I thought of my friend every day and I knew I could find her via social media, so I started my quest around 2008. This past September I was looking for her as usual and I found her obit from 2011.

I cried for 4 hours straight so hard my face & jaw hurt for days. My quest is over and my dear friend is dead. What's left is a deep pain & hole in my heart, lots of tears and treasured memories.

Someone has to be in my shoes, looking for their long lost friend, cousin, sister...

Very sorry for the loss of your friend, U2.

Thank you, Alleykins.
If I only could have found her in time, she would probably be alive today.

I am so sorry for your loss. ((Hugs))

Let's make sure this Jane Doe finds her way home to friends and family.

i think it's very clear that this is an early Robert Ben Rhoades victim. Harris County Jane and Jon Does as well (this is a definite in my mind - the bloody towel- a signature of his, the different way in which the guy and woman were killed). maybe orange socks.

this guy has potentially 30-40 bodies tied to him. reason suggests then that a good number of these jane and jon does are his. these are the work of a serial killer, not isolated incidents, and they fit his basic mo (pick up undersized young drifter at truck stop, rape/torture/kill with rituals relatoin to articles of clothing and presentation, dispose on road side or desolate area) more than any other plausible serial killers we know of.

as far as the head shaving/torture cab stuff, i think it is safe to assume, like most sexual sadists and successful serial killers, there is a progressive sort of fetishization that involves upping the dose bc of desensitization over time (like drug addiction). just from the accounts of his known crimes- though he repeats certain facets, he varies in the sexual sadism to various degrees and it seems like e became more sophisticated, ritualized, and brazen over time.

is there a thread somewhere that tries to account for his victims i should be directed to?

Spent the last hour reading about this guy. This is actually a pretty good suspect. I've always felt like this murder happened in a truck with a large cab. It also fits with the torture and rape, underage girl. Do we know what areas he was in during the time WCJD was killed? I couldn't find a timeline for him but haven't dug around much yet.

I've seen Marcia Remick suggested at least a couple of times on this thread, but has she been ruled out?

Also - I think it is definitely possible that she was a victim of Robert Ben Rhoades!

Cheryl Schille Wyant still hasn't been ruled out as match on NamUs, anyone know if the name has been forwarded to LE handling JD case? I read a few pages of this thread, its a lot to go though all at once. Thanks.

 

[Houston Mom]

Both Wyant and Remick have DNA complete, as does Walker County Jane, so I believe they are ruled out. IMO

I believe I saw it discussed here recently that having DNA in the system does not mean they have been compared

Do you know who holds the DNA and if it's been compared?

Correct. We can't assume that just because there is DNA that it's been compared when we don't know who's holding it.

I read somewhere that Yvette Watson was discussed as a possible match. It seems unlikely but was she ruled out?

Yes, she was ruled out after a DNA comparison.

Thanks. I've been following this case for years but never posted on anything till now. I did find a newspaper clipping from a texas newspaper about a teenage girl that went missing around the start of September 1979 in that area. But I couldn't read the full article without giving card details

 

[shadowdancer]

Could you post a link to the article? Someone on here might have a subscription and be able to read it for us.

Correct. We can't assume that just because there is DNA that it's been compared when we don't know who's holding it.

Yeah, I really wish it was made clear on profiles WHERE/HOW a person's DNA is held. That way, we could better find matches that haven't already been ruled out via CODIS.

 

[sonz82]

I couldn't find it now but I did see a missing girl aged 14 on the doe network that went missing from a home or foster care system in 1979 I think. I wonder if she was ever ruled out?

No. Teresa had gapped teeth and a tattoo.
