Identified! TX - Huntsville, 'Walker County Jane Doe', WhtFem 14-16, 91UFTX, Nov'80 Sherry Ann Jarvis

[RookieInvestigator]

I researched serial killer Stephen Peter Morin who wore disguises...At one time he and his girlfriend (Sarah Clarke) kidnapped a woman and held her captive in a hotel...Sarah's son unwittingly helped him soundproof his van...He was wanted for murders in several states including Colorado...He stalked Sarah Pisan and killed her best friend...

He also killed a young woman in
Padre Island and San Antonio,TX... One victim he strangled and threw her into a culvert...He also raped and killed a 14 yr old in San Francisco...

His story gets unique when he kidnaps Margie Palm, a Christian woman, and she prays for him and tells him about Kenneth Copeland...During her kidnapping he supposedly transforms into a Christian...

He committed several murders in 1980 and late 1981..I haven't found info on where he was in October 1980...

[Paul B.]

I don't think telling your kidnapper about the Love of Jesus would work too often. I wouldn't waffle on about Kenneth Copeland myself...

 

[RookieInvestigator]

Here's info on a write up in the INQUISITR about an ID Serial Thriller episode about Sarah Pisan's experience with Stephen Morin...

"One of her coworkers was Cheryl “Cheri” Ann Daniel..."

"...she had found love with a man named "Andrew. Sarah remembered seeing Andrew when he came to pick Cheri up from work."

"Things took a turn when Cheri didn’t show up for work one day
leading detectives to question Sarah for more information."

"Sarah met a nice man named Robert..."

"...who constantly showed up to the gas station to ask her out."

"...when Sarah refused, he turned violent and began stalking her..."

"Sarah was also receiving bizarre phone calls from a man who was threatening to kill her."

"Several months later, the body of Cheryl Ann Daniel was found dead..."

"...they also found Sarah’s name and address in a wallet at the crime scene."

"...she reviewed a mugshot book..."

"...detectives informed her that all of the men in the book were photos of the same man, dressed in different disguises."

"...she saw a photo of Cheryl’s boyfriend, Andrew, who she now realized was Robert Generoso."

I found cases of other victims in Conroe, TX (Montgomery County)...Its approx. 30-45 min south of Huntsville...

Lesia Michelle Jackson
12 yrs old

September 7, 1979, Lesia Jackson, 12, spent most of the day swimming with her older brothers at Lake Wildwood off FM 1485 in Conroe.

When her brothers were ready to go home, Lesia wasn't. They started walking without her. Lesia eventually followed and she was last spotted walking alone...

That was the last time anyone saw Lesia alive.

Lesia had been raped and strangled. There were tire tracks nearby, tracks investigators believe are from the killer's car. Lesia's bright blue bikini was laid out near her shredded little t-shirt.

For the first time, detectives are making public a picture of the gold butterfly necklace Lesia was found wearing. The day she was abducted, she had on a matching ring. That ring was never found.

Brenda Maureen Hackett
24 yrs old
Conroe, TX
Killed: 9-9-1984

Brenda worked as a server at a club...She called her mother from a payphone at Safeway....The next day she was found partially in water raped and strangled with a pair of pantyhose...

Jerry Michael Ward was linked to her murder by DNA...He also murdered Joyce Osten in 1965 and Connie Sue Cook in 1985...He was sentenced to death for Osten, but was paroled...

Newsreel from Osten's murder...

 

[Sweetluv]

Rookieinvestigator, interesting find....do we know if Brenda was raped in the same manner as our victim...blunt object? I always thought this was an important clue....
Pantyhose as method of strangulation is a good link.

Rookieinvestigator, interesting find....do we know if Brenda was raped in the same manner as our victim...blunt object? I always thought this was an important clue....
Pantyhose as method of strangulation is a good link.

There is very little info online about both cases....Montgomery County has a number of cold cases, UIDs and possibly missing persons...

There are another 5 women who were killed in Montgomery County, and LE thinks the cases are linked...Some victims were set on fire by flares, shot, strangled and raped...Barbara Gayle Whitten, African American, was killed July 8, 1980...

...a 1976 – 1977 medium blue Chevrolet Nova parked nearby. The Nova had what appeared to be two navy blue
racing stripes on the side. Two white males were observed closing the
vehicle trunk and upon entering the car, the males fled...

The witnesses at the truck stop WCJD was seen at mentioned a 1973-74 blue Chevy Caprice...

What stood out to me in the killing of Lesia is that when she was found, she was only wearing a necklace...

In Brenda's case the strangulation by pantyhose caught my attention...Jerry Michael Ward committed suicide, but they have his DNA...

**See link below for cold cases

One case I took sometime to look over was when Clarence Brandley, a janitor, was wrongfully sent to death row for the murder of Cheryl Dee Ferguson August 23, 1980...She was raped and strangled with a belt...This crime took place in Conroe, TX...The real killer could be James Dexter Robinson (JR), and a possible accomplice could be Gary Acreman (GA)...

GA was a taxi driver in Conroe at some point...JR's ex-girlfriend remembered GA & JR having intercourse with a girl handcuffed to a bed...In WCJD's case witnesses claimed a couple of men in a car pulled over when she was hitchhiking....His ex-girlfriend came forward years later and stated he admitted to killing a girl (Ferguson) and moved out of their place right after the murder...The problem is he returned to SC at some point, but LE flew him back for questioning....His family stated he was in SC around August 18, but a former co-worker contradicted him and said he was still in town in Sept...

This could all be a coincidence, but there were multiple killers near North & South I-45...

Good searching. I had come across some of these cases as I live in Montgomery county. Definitely possible linked cases. There was also one mentioned regarding unknown white female found near a truck stop in new Caney.

Case # 83-8549
Murder of Unidentified White Female
May 13, 1983 – 76 Truck Stop Hwy 59 at FM 1485 New Caney, Texas
SYNOPSIS: At approx. 7:35 am, MCSO Deputies responded to a wooded area behind the 76 Truck Stop where schoolchildren had found the decomposing body of an unidentified white female. The location of the body was positioned in an area where tractor-trailers normally parked. An autopsy revealed that she had been killed by two blows to the head, which resulted in skull fractures. The victim was described as follows: 15 – 22 yoa, 59” in height, with a decomposed weight of 78 lbs. Complainant had dark brown hair that was about seven inches in length. She was wearing “Shades” designer blue jeans, a tan “Wrangler” long-sleeve terry cloth t-shirt, and white panties.

I've been posting a lot of possible suspects...There are endless possibilities on who killed WCJD...The killer could be a truck driver with a regular route around I-45, a person who's job allowed them to drive around, or it could be a local that committed similar murders in the area... Another angle is someone unemployed with a lot of time on their hands and used it to prey on innocent girls/women....

Here's a nice multimedia link highlighting cold cases around the greater Houston area....Lesia Jackson is included further down and others that might interest you...

I found another interesting coincidence... WCJD and Michelle Garvey had inverted nipples...Michelle is another suspected "Killing Fields" victim...

When I was honed in on the “70s model light blue sedan” angle, I listened to a Podcast about this case! I didn’t note the name of it as I had dismissed the frequently mentioned “light blue sedan”, but if I’m not mistaken it was titled “The Killing Fields of Montgomery County”. This was the only link my search history recognized so without listening I’m going to assume it’s the correct one. It was a very interesting one! I’m glad you brought it up!

The Killing Fields of Montgomery County | gone cold podcast

Hopefully this offers something new!

I've been posting a lot of possible suspects...There are endless possibilities on who killed WCJD...The killer could be a truck driver with a regular route around I-45, a person who's job allowed them to drive around, or it could be a local that committed similar murders in the area... Another angle is someone unemployed with a lot of time on their hands and used it to prey on innocent girls/women....

You bring up good points! The possibilities seem endless! I think I’ve read everything there is to read on incarcerated individuals near there at the time and they seem to all be “possible suspects”! Sometimes (almost always) I have to refresh my train of thought and refer back to Occam’s razor! I personally tend to venture out into overly complex theories!

I’ve attached an image just for a little comic relief!

Keep up the amazing work!

Has anyone considered that she could be Eilieen Hynson from California? Eileen went missing in 1976 and it says she was 19, but as others have suggested, maybe WCJD was a bit older than presumed? I just think that there is a resemblance. The eyebrows are the only thing that don't look the same to me, but if she had been living as a transient for 4 years, it's possible she didn't keep them as groomed as she did before she disappeared.

 

[Paul B.]

The thing is though, WCJD claimed to be 19 and the waitress disbelieved her immediately. Also we have the age estimate from the bones forensically.

I suggested her recently...

 

[RookieInvestigator]

I told CarlK recently I hope Bayardo was not the ME during her autopsy...

 

[Sweetluv]

Any other cases in the late 70s or 80s involving a blunt object only in a sexual assault that anyone knows of?

 

[Feme98]

Any other cases in the late 70s or 80s involving a blunt object only in a sexual assault that anyone knows of?

I think Pulaski’s Jane Doe, I’m unsure if she was a victim of sexual assault but the beating could have been done with a blunt object

 

[MadMcGoo]

I don’t see her on the rule out list or anywhere else on WCJD threads, so hopefully someone more familiar with the case can tell me if she’s already been compared. I think Nathalie and WCJD look identical but I’ve also said that on a couple of Doe threads in the past few days. I may just be overdue for a break! Who knows.

I don't think we're going to find out who she is until her DNA is run through GED Match, etc to look for living relatives...
