omg omg omg I am 99.9% sure I have found the REAL Lindsey on myspace. age 27 ....Put on your thinking caps for the right approach and who is gonna contact her? She says she has a major in Crimial Justice and a minor in pyscology. also this is a quote from her page
"I am a true believer that everything happens for a reason"
she says life havs thrown her some curves but her life is good......
I pretty sure this is THE ONE
ok i am editing this because now im not as sure as I was that this is HER....
because I am not finding the baby name I had found at one time....
BUT if its NOT her I did find a Possible sister in law on there

The profile you provided me with has a different last name than DeJong, but that could be because she is married, however her status reads "single". I don't know why she wouldn't put "married" if she put "proud parent".
Anyway, this could be the right one. It seems very possible because it sort of fits better than the other girl. Interesting she majored in Criminal Justice. Perhaps she will be willing to help us anyway!
Good sleuthing.

Since LDJ was never charged with anything, she could still face criminal charges. I don't think it would be in her best interest to discuss her involvement in this tragedy. I think LE realizes that this is a dead end and that is why the message from the ME is always the same. I'd like to get a copy of the grand jury testimony. I think that would provide the answers to the questions we have been asking.

We really don't need her to discuss the "tradegy" - just any distinguishing characteristics of our little MJD. I feel it's so important to make sure she understands we're not investigating a crime but just trying to find out where this little girl belongs..

I already looked at this girl's myspace I sent her a message she told me she had already been asked and she said no she isn't the person we are looking for. Somebody else got to her before we did. I am still not so sure it's not the right one. When and if we find Lindsey she will not say anything because she won't want to incriminate herself. There is no statue of limitations on a murder/homicide and maybe she is afraid of the driver coming after her. If this girl knows anything I wish she could tell us some how. We just want to know who this girl is that was pushed or fell out of the car. Lindsey if you are reading this use a public library's computer and send one of us a message. There will no way your message could be tracked back to you. Anything at all would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you TL. If the right LDJ has been located by our sleuthers here and will not acknowledge or respond, I feel it was a murder that occurred that day. Otherwise, what does she have to lose? If that is the case and we receive no response, I don't know where else to turn. Any ideas???

Exactly. What does she have to lose?
I'm not sure who the right LDJ is. All I know is that the number of Lindsay DeJong's on myspace or facebook are very limited. There aren't many people listed under that name!
Perhaps the Lindsay we are trying to find doesn't have a myspace or a facebook. I wish there was just some way, some how to be 100% sure we had the right girl. I would do anything, as I believe everyone here would, to talk to her about our MJD for just a moment. Any way she wanted, whether it be facebook, myspace, AIM, yahoo, the telephone. Anything.
But she also needs to know that we aren't trying to solve a crime here! (as was stated by Fairy1 before). I think I would react distantly if someone seemed like they were trying to convict me of something. And that's the thing about the Internet, it's hard to detect "emotion" through typing . I am not saying anyone's efforts are/would be misunderstood, but we still don't know how she perceives it (if it even is her).
Depending on her lifestyle, she may not even use the Internet at all. Maybe she doesn't have a computer, or maybe she only uses it to check her email or something. We just don't know.
As for new ideas, I feel as though we've reached a dead end, as much as I hate to say that. :(
Putting her face and story out there is really all I can think of. Would having security clearance make it any easier for me to obtain a PR? Is it even worth getting the PR? It would, at the very least, mention other witnesses, right?

Remember tho the way I found THIS Lindsey was through a possible relative a Girl married to a possible brother for Lindsey.
Look here for Lindsey Dejong and the 2nd one down a Jason Dejong. I started looking into him age listed as 29. I found who he is married to and I found HER on Myspace and SHE had THAT LINDSEY on her friends....
SO maybe the next step is to contact HER and ask about Lindsey and covey to her we just want to know about looks accents etc etc we dont care about investigating HER or anything of that Nature we just want to know about her clothes mannerisisms etc etc

Anyone considered Therese Vanderheiden as a possibility?
http://tinyurl.com/63kmwl
Or Kelly Yates?
http://tinyurl.com/6zr6fw
She was abducted as a baby by a non-custodial parent. The approximate birth year/description fits. One of my theories about why no one claimed MJD is that she was abducted by a non-custodial parent as a young child--the parent probably wouldn't want to risk coming forward even if they knew.

MJD has naturally brown hair. It was dyed blonde. Therese has blonde hair.
Was it ever verified that she had naturally brown hair that was dyed blonde? :waitasec:
I guess it would make sense since her roots were growing out. I wonder if she got her hair/eyebrows done at the same salon. I know we went through all of this before, but I am going to find my Phoenix metro phonebook and check out some salons around the area to see if anyone may recognize her from back then, in case it was routine for her to get her hair/eyebrows done.
VASHLEY88
05-16-2008, 04:32 PM
I hope they keep records from back then. Maybe I can find some names for people who were recorded in their log from around the time she was found, maybe a few weeks to a few days prior to the time she was found. Maybe ask if a young girl suddenly stopped business there. Highly doubtful they will be able to pull anything up from 9 1/2 years ago, but I guess it's worth a shot.
I guess I would start by asking how long their business has been around. It seems that there should be some kind of business law to keep records for this kind of thing. If not, they should consider it!

It may seem like a needle in a haystack, but that's how cases are solved Vashley88. LE doesn't have time to do this sort of thing. I think it's a good idea, maybe tedious, but a good idea, IMO, FWIW.
If you could get emails of the ones that were open during this time period you could email them pics/case info...just maybe someone will recognize her. (her eyebrows do seem like she kept them up)

I think believe09 sent MJDs info and some dental record stuff, etc to the detective in charge of Rachaels case.

I usually give LE a week or two before I start to nag them, lol, because they have active cases they work on as well as the cold missing ones...I will catch up with him at the end of the month regarding Racheal as a possible....it is so funny-each possible...each phone call generates excitement on behalf of both parties, you know, because if the possible match is not discounted right away because of hold back information both you and the detective are thinking, gosh finally this could be the call. And then you wait. And wait. It is so hard-infinitely harder for the families that are searching for their loved ones of course, but hard for those of us in the nosebleed seats as well...

fmw63 provided me with addresses and telephone numbers for a TON of salons around the Phoenix area from his 1995.. uhh.. phonebook.. program thing. Such a big help!
I plan on starting to call some of the businesses Monday since it's the weekend and I know things can get busy for them. I sure hope someone is able to recall her. I know they get a lot of new people in and out, and surely not every business that she could have went to may be currently operating.

Vashley - that's great news, but honestly, we don't even know if she was from Phoenix or the surrounding area. I've said before, I live in Vegas and we have ladies of the night who come in from all over the country for big events all the time. MJD, if she was a prostitute, seemed awful ready and willing to hit the road - if that is how it went down. That tells me she did not have strong ties to the Phoenix area.

True. But I figured I would check with the salons in the area she was picked up anyway, just to make sure. I don't intend to check EVERY salon in Phoenix. That would be ridiculous!
I understand what you mean, though. It may be a lot of wasted effort, and I am aware of that. She probably was a "drifter".

Odd. I looked up where the super bowl was being held in 1999 and it was in Miami, FL.. isn't that a big event for ladies of the night? It was to be played Jan. 31st. I also read on that there were many prostitution ring busts. Anyway, not that it's that significant. Just found it interesting that that's apparently where they were headed.

It's not just big events, but the winter months in southern Arizona are huge! Lots of golfers and convention business. I was thinking if she was from somewhere else, she may have been there for "business" purposes. I don't know - ahhhhhhhh!!!!

This is kind of random I guess but lots of homeless people/kids do travel the country year round. There are a few different 'circuits', like Seattle to Denver then New Orleans with stops in towns inbetween. I think they usually are in warmer places in winter (ie maybe Phoenix?) and colder climates in summer (Denver, etc). I know Santa Fe was pretty popular with homeless kids I knew at that time, Phoenix doesn't sound unlikely if thats what she was doing I suppose. Also just hopping in a car to Miami with strangers wouldn't be weird at all from the stories I heard.
I remember worrying about the kids I knew who did that type of thing- what would happen to them and how on earth anyone who knew and cared about them would ever find out if something bad did happen. I guess thats why I keep coming back to this case, thinking that it could have been one of my friends that was never identified.
Also randomly, does anyone remember exactly why Ekaterina Shcherbakova (sp?) was ruled out? Or was she? I vaguely remember soemthing about LE somewhere thinking she wasn't a match but can't remember why?

You're right, Lorelei. I'm sure lots of runaways can get from here to there with no problem at all. But our little MJD looks so very young, I can't help but think she had someone controlling her life. Anyone who spends any time on the missing persons boards knows that not everyone who is missing or unidentified has someone looking for them. It's difficult to comprehend, but it's true. I don't want to be discouraged with this case, but I am.

I share your frustrations, Fairy1. It's true, not everyone who goes missing does have someone looking for them. And it's difficult to believe someone really is looking for her at this point. I get discouraged because with every small "lead" we get, there comes a dead end. We are basing the situation and her lifestyle off of assumptions and theories rather than actual facts because we are so desperate for answers..
If she left any trail behind her, I'm sure within the years that have passed, many have been covered. I don't want to say there is no hope for this case, because I'm not sure I believe that yet. I feel that if I lack energy in this case, I may "miss" something and it frustrates me to hear nothing new has come up. And I know I'm not alone in that!

This lovely girl was pushed or fell from a moving vehicle in January of 1999. She hit the pavement at 75 mph and died before she recovered consciousness and could reveal her identity. The two people in the vehicle with her claimed to know nothing about her and were let go after being charged with failing to render aid. She is estimated to be between 13 and 16 years of age, with multiple piercings in her ears, belly button jewelry and a tattoo of a blue heart upon her chest. Any information you can offer will be so helpful-it is time to get this child back to the family who loves and misses her. I attached these photos... I will post the links once CL posts them...

Those are my composites because I tried posting one with her original composites and it flagged me. Sorry. It was just an attempt at what she looked like. I tried to take it from a different angle other than using her morgue photo but using the same characteristics so she appeared more lively. If they don't recognize her on those pictures, they can look at the ME website and see her morgue pictures/composites. I didn't want to take anything without anyone's permission.

I've still been trying to find some good pictures of hair, most of those one sites I upload to put unrealistic looking hair on .. I wanted to get a few pictures 2gether .. ones with different shades/styles of hair .. and see if I can swipe some info from some others that have posted the craigslist ads(if thats okay!) and I wanted to try from 'scratch' again and see what kinda photo I come up with.. I never thought her trauma looked so bad compared to other UID's but today I actually flipped that picture inside out!!! that poor thing! it looks so much worse that way..

kaylenbabysims I think the composites are really good! The features line up really well. I still think this JD is on the younger end of the age prediction. Is there anyway in addition to this composite you can do a composite without the makeup? Maybe someone out there is looking for a preteen looking child and could be thrown off by the makeup.

Here's a picture basically covering up her boo boos, no extra hair or eyes..in case it helps anyone.. if someone wants to take a stab at some new hair? shading? new eyes? a new mouth?? or anything in paticular :angel:
i've been trying to put on different eyes w/o make up but everythings going downhill!
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y171/christine2448/MJD_ID_TawniLee.jpg
as far as Michaela, I've been on the fence if she possibly could be this UID or not.. I'm more leaning towards no but if I was her mom I would be comparing dentals or something just to be on the safe side..
That reminds me.. any of you who are talking to anyone that can get clearance for more info/pictures.. a sketch or picture of her teeth and a side view of her face would be nice (like Lyle has) I know on some of these UID's they're front/side views make them look totally different!

Ok -I've tried to look at this case from every possible angle. I thought if she was so willing and ready to go to Florida that she may have been from there. No luck with the missing Florida girls. Then I thought, well, runaways really usually don't go too far from home, but no luck with AZ or any of the surrounding western states. Then I thought, maybe she was from a cold place and wanted to be somewhere that was warm...again - no luck with the missing persons from the colder states. I am out of ideas. I truly do believe that Alonzo and LDJ are the best bets for some type of clue. No matter what kind of lifestyle they/she were living, it is COMMON SENSE to believe they at least asked her what her name was!!! She may not have given them her real name but she has to have told them SOMETHING we can use here. LE has to know something that we don't know here. What can we do to get that information??????????

I am thinking if I don't get response in time, I will call Suzi Dodt....they are doing awesome work with UID's there....that in itself, their database is a story.....yep...I think we can pull this off somehow.
"We need to get them identified," said Laura Fulginiti, a forensic anthropologist in Maricopa County.
"It just kills me. I don't like the end of the story to be like that. Our whole mission is to make sure nobody is buried without a name."
Bolstered by federal DNA initiatives and funding and by advancing scientific technology, states across the country are beginning to put more emphasis on identifying the unidentified.
The Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office is establishing the state's first Web site to profile bodies without names. The site will include where the bodies were found, distinguishing marks and, whenever possible, sketches of the dead. It is expected to be online by Labor Day.

Vashley, I have no idea what the interview would entail. They want to do a story on WS w/MJD as an 'example' of what we do. They want a WSer in AZ to be available to talk with.
I am going to email the reporter right now and let her know I am trying to find someone in the area for story. I will also call and nag ;) about doing it w/o someone there. Again, as mentioned earlier, I think there is just as much of a story in the 5000 UID's in the state and what ME office is accomplishing locally there....they me be unaware.
Nearly 200 people since 1973, mostly men, have never been identified in Maricopa County. Officials point to the prevalence of immigration, homelessness, mental illness and drug abuse that can separate people from their families and make it harder to identify them when they die.
As a result, families never find out what happened to their loved one, and, in cases of murder, police are hard-pressed to catch the killer without knowing the victim's name.
It's a problem that extends beyond Arizona. About 5,000 unidentified remains have been placed in the National Crime Information Center database, and some officials estimate that more than 40,000 other bodies nationwide are unidentified.
believe09
05-22-2008, 09:28 AM
I doubt the interview will actually be taking place tomorrow, but I am sure the reporters have deadlines for story lines and the reporter is trying to meet it. I also think that the need for someone within the state is for not just the "local feel" but also for the ease of "fact checking."
Remember CNN just did a big story on internet sleuthers a few weeks ago, so this is a nice way for the reporter to hop on the "craze."

Good morning!
I received your message and am working on trying to find a local from your
area that is part of our group. We have 12000+ members...I don't know
everyone personally, wish I did!
I understand the need for finding someone local. I am more interested in
seeing if you can get Maricopa Jane Doe a story (and other UIDs in your
area)! She needs to be identified. There are so many, isn't that a story
in itself? Nearly 200 people since 1973 have never been identified in
Maricopa County.
How about hosting a DNA collection? It's so easy! LE calls families in
the area with missing loved ones and we have a meeting place, LE can get
kits for everyone and the DNA taken and entered in to CODIS FREE through University in TX.
Win win for all! Media (maybe tips/leads), LE(shows they are still working the cases),
families (they are not forgotten)...DNA in CODIS, possible cases solved! Please consider.
It's a problem that extends beyond Arizona. About 5,000 unidentified
remains have been placed in the National Crime Information Center
database, and some officials estimate that more than 40,000 other bodies
nationwide are unidentified.
I am available by cell phone (770) 328-5995 and am in GA, EST. I will try
and call you when I run errands away from the office around 1130 if I
don't hear from you by then.
You can read about Maricopa Jane Doe here ...if we could reach out to the
2 people that were with her, maybe they know at least her first
name? http://www.websleuths.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=84 (http://www.websleuths.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=84)
I am working on finding someone to be interviewed. Thank you for your

Also they indicate they were making another trip to AZ to do more research in Jan 2008 wonder how that went?
one of the things ATI will be doing is meeting with the police investigator and hopefully will get a copy of the full property report since it was left out of the autopsy. Since the info posted about her possibly being a prostitute, it is very important to know what she was wearing and what she had in her possession! The theory about her being a hitchhiker may be true, it may even be true that she was a prostitute, however NONE of this can be confirmed and those people that made these statements where the last people she was with, she (from the way the case reads) jumped from "their" car! So we have to all be open minded and get to the bottom of this once and for all! She deserves a name, no matter who she was or what she did to stay alive!
In addition to cash donations, I am looking for anyone that has access to advertisements or that wish to contribute ad space online or billboards or those that have connections to media that would like to give this case more exposure!

I have been looking into that senerio and it seems it happens quite abit where a Couple will pick up a girl with BAD INTENTIONS....
Here is just ONE example and they lured her by asking for directions ...IMO the only reason for Lindsey and Al to Lie is to cover their own A$$es.
Because if they did NO WRONG i feel they would be more open to helping figure out her identity too.
I mean that would just totally HAUNT ME to have a girl fall right out of a car right next to me and die.... I would be all consumed with HELPING find her family...
MAYBE JANE DOES family knows one of these too and they are scared her family would know that she would NEVER just jump from a car.
MAYBE MAYBE MAYBE I am SICK OF MAYBES I WANT ANSWERS Grrrrrrr
anyway here is alittle of what I found
a 16-year-old girl who told them the most amazing story. The terrified teenager said that she had been abducted at knifepoint the previous evening by a man and a woman who asked her directions as she walked along the street near her home in fashionable Nedlands.
She was taken to a house in Willagee where the couple ripped off all of her clothing before chaining her to a bed by her hands and feet. The girl said the man repeatedly raped her as the woman watched.
The following morning after the man had gone to work the woman unchained the girl and forced her to telephone her parents and tell them that she was staying with friends and that she was okay.
When the woman left the bedroom to answer the door, presumably to let in a cocaine dealer, the girl found an open window and escaped. She was able to give police a full description of her attackers,

I wasnt too happy to be away from all my friends in the summer, one afternoon I decieded to was going to walk the few miles back to my neighborhood ALONE....
I hadnt got far when a car pulled over and asked if I needed a ride even though I didnt have my thumb out of nothing I had made up my mind I was going to walk!!!
However I thought well this guy seems like a normal guy a grandfather type surely he wouldnt be a killer or rapist.
I got in and we didnt get very far before I just started feeling very uncofortable like what have I gotten myself into here....Is he really gonna take me where I told him I was going???
All kinds of things started going through my mind. Like nobody knows where I am when I left were I was going to.....OMG
I cant remember what excatly it was that gave me the weird feeling something he said or what but I started thinking of an escape plan.
I started looking at the door handle 'so I would know where it was and which way it turned etc.
I thought if this guy doesnt turn where we need to turn I am out of here one way or the other.
We came to a stop light and I even thought of jumping out right there because I knew there were no more stop lights on our way.....
But I just wanted to share this because maybe these are some of the things that were going thru Doe's head.
I think I had already made up my mind I was going for that door knob if things got ugly and for a moment I thougt omg what if he has the knob rigged up so it wont open from the inside or the knob will just fall off in my hand.
I honestly feel she must have been terrified for her life to jump at that speed and on the interstate....
Maybe they were attempting to tie her up or tape her handcuff her whatever and she felt it was her only chance....
I wish more than anything that Lindsey would come forward and answer some of these questions we have such as her clothes accent etc etc then maybe we can get past the fact that she was involved if she doesnt have anything to hide then she should help in any way possible to give her back to her family. She has been able to go on with her life have a baby etc etc by poor Maricopa Doe never got the chance to have a life.......
Please Lindsey help us identify this girl........Thanks for bearing with me and my long rambling post......LOL Love you all Phenol!!!!

THanks for sharing your story.. I've been thinking about what her story could be about and it reminded me of one of mine
at 14 I wasnt living at the home( dysfunctional family), so was livign with my b/f & his parents I bounced around quite a bit when I was younger then when I hit around 13/14 I was living mostly anywhere but at 'home' .. So I was a habitual runaway, so I wasnt really looked for.. or I got word beforehand So I could disappear..
Anyways when I was 14 my b/f, me and 2 of his friends decided to take his parents car for a joyride (stolen)... and well one boy didnt go 'fast' enough or good enough so my b/f thought he'd teach him how to do it right.. I remember that part the last . we were in a residential neighborhood and he took a turn at 60 and hit a palm tree.. they 3 get out (2 hurt) and were going to run but noticed I wasnt there and they looked in the car and there I was OUT cold .. I started coming to here and there in the ambulance..... But we had 'borrowed' a few other vehicles too , but got much further away with them (almost hit another tree once, he thought it would be a good Idea to drive it into the woods to hide) So I can definately see a "friend" getting left behind and 'forgotten' .. Think god mine didnt :)

From Reporter:
Hi Christine,
My thought is that we could do the story on your group and what you do, using this case as the example, thus knocking two birds out with one stone and getting both stories told.
If there is more than one member in our area that would be great. I'd
like to get at least two interviews for the story.
I should be able to let you know by the end of the day if this story is
approved for me to go ahead with.

Can you do a TV interview with your face blocked and your voice changed? I often see that on local news with people who do not want to be identified.
Come on, we have to have more members from the Phoenix area, or even further area's of AZ! Big cities north or south of Phoenix.... I'm sure this media outlet can find a way to hide your identity. They do it all the time!

We spent (Julessleuther and I) about 45 minutes on the phone and she is like me, doing what she can when she can and wants to contribute.
THIS IS WHAT IT IS ABOUT! We all have our talents, time, ect, we do what we can when we can, when it all pulls together!
Jules is leaving Sat out of AZ for 6 weeks. If she can help she has agreed before Sat or after 6 weeks. We will keep the announcement up and see how this can work otherwise.

Gosh I wish we could get ahold of ATI, since they have put in alot of work with this case. I gather from their website that they are not local because they talk about making trips to AZ and how the last trip cost them $3,000
I have found a myspace for them possibly
2 myspace pages for them.
The one is ATTEMPT to IDENTIFY and the default pic is a composite of MJD
However as of yesterday they hadnt logged in for several days so I didnt message them. And they were listed as PRIVATE, not coducive to finding missing and unidentified LOL
Then it hit me this myspace was mentioned way back in I think the #2 thread.
So, I went back and did a search of all my post in that one and sure enough I had posted that once before.
Someone indicated she had a myspace already, and I said yeah but they are PRIVATE and 2 separate people here said they would contact them and let them know they are listed as private I thought they would have changed that by now.......
I wish their website mentioned the owners name or somebody's name......I take it they never answered your email Christine

I ride to work with my dad to save on gas LOL....
We drive approx 30 miles one way 60 miles round trip mostly all on the highway.
I told him about MJD and the first and only thing I said was do you think I could open this door at 75 mph and push it far enough out to jump out.
He was LIKE WHY???????
Then I told him about the story of MJD jumping etc etc ....
I said open yours see if it will open without alot of resistance.
I said Im opening mine I just have to know, so he was travelling in the far right lane so I could open it without someone coming by and ripping it off.
He said do it see it you can... I did and it opened right up I thought there would have been alot more resistance than I got....
So based on this very scientific experiement I guess it is possible even for a small person.
Im soooo glad I got that out of my system I have been wanting to try that for weeks.....haaaaa

I hear ya. She's a beautiful kid, I don't see how someone could forget that face. But unfortunately we live in a corrupt world and it happens more than we like to believe. SOMEONE out there knew her! She was someone's friend, someone's child, someone's niece, someone's grand daughter, someone's cousin, someone's classmate, someone's neighbor. I'm pretty sure she didn't live in a bubble!

I agree - she belongs to someone, somewhere. Where are they? MJD is a lot more high profile than many, many missing people. If someone was truly looking for her, she wouldn't be too hard to find. With that said, we must not be discouraged and we must continue to try. I still believe Lindsey is our best chance for more & valuable information.

I agree. If I have contacted the right girl, it seems unlikely that she is ever going to tell me anything, though. And I remember that someone else, I think Teresa (sp?), had also contacted a different Lindsey and she said something about being asked if she was that LDJ before and said she wasn't the LDJ we were looking for. If neither of these two are the right girl, I wish there was someway to contact another Lindsey DeJong that would be in an appropriate age range. I have some security clearance and would like to obtain a copy of the police report to see what characteristic's are listed of LDJ's so it can be narrowed down, if even just a little. I'd also like to know what time of day this took place, because if it was at night, it may have been hard for LDJ or Alonzo to have actually seen what MDJ looked like..
I remember waaaayy back in Thread #2 when a newspaper article was posted on the event, it stated that they had all gotten out of the car at one point. I wonder if it was ever verified if LDJ and Alonzo were both in the car when they picked her up or if it was just Alonzo and MJD at first. That's important to know because who knows what went on between just MJD and Alonzo. I'd like to think all three were always in the car so LDJ would be able to tell exactly what happened, that is, if she decides to say anything at all.

The David Lebowitz (sp?) article is back on thread #2 - page 7. It states it happened on a Tuesday afternoon. Also says MJD just "jumped" in the car with Alonzo and then they picked up Lindsey. It's very hard for me to believe he didn't say "hey Lindsey, this is ______ and she's going to Miami with us, ok?" Or something along those lines. LDJ was his girlfriend, IIRC. She's not going to be a little irritated that her BF shows up with another girl in the car? Doubtful.:rolleyes:

ITA, unless as someone pointed out earlier, either they were looking for a three way (IF MJD was a prostitute)or they were a partners in crime team (if she was a hitchhiker).

I think the best bet in identifying MJD is to get her image out there. I think a classmate, a teacher, or a neighbor will be the missing link. MJD died 7 years before I saw her picture for the first time. Someone who knows who she is, but not that she has passed, will see her picture and say, "Hey that looks like (fill in the blank)." I often think of the publicity stunts that some celebs do to get their name and picture out there. Is there any celebrity from Maricopa County that might want to use their influence to get MJD some air time? It could be mutually beneficial for the celeb and our MJD. How about a local politician? Anyone know the area?

I'm pretty familiar with the area, I lived there for a very long time and moved in mid 2007. What did you have in mind?

I know Alice Cooper and Leslie Nielson (the Naked Gun) still reside there. Leslie Nielson does a ton of commercials, a lot of local. Also Wayne Gretzky coaches the Phx Coyotes.. I don't know if any of that would help here.. Janet Neapolitano is the governor. I think John McCain is a little busy, heh heh.

I am here, but in CA for the next six weeks. Christine, I should have mentioned to you, that I can still be an email contact for the media, just not there in person to do interview. It is a shame that they cannot interview Tricia, since she is the heart of websleuths.
Whats happening, whats going on? Where is Christine and AZ and Jules? Will there be an interview? Come on someone, give it up? BTW, is anything new with contacting Lindsey?

The David Lebowitz (sp?) article is back on thread #2 - page 7. It states it happened on a Tuesday afternoon. Also says MJD just "jumped" in the car with Alonzo and then they picked up Lindsey. It's very hard for me to believe he didn't say "hey Lindsey, this is ______ and she's going to Miami with us, ok?" Or something along those lines. LDJ was his girlfriend, IIRC. She's not going to be a little irritated that her BF shows up with another girl in the car? Doubtful.:rolleyes:
Catching up reading here.... I agree. If Alonzo is out of jail/prison and still has a way to contact LDJ and she is a parent now, it's kind of easy to see how she might be reluctant to share any information, especially if her safety and the safety of her family may be risked.
I wish there were away for her to communicate with someone here... that would be very cautious with confidentiality for her. It could also be the memories are very difficult for her and after so many years she has put them aside. Perhaps she will give it some thought, and even if she doesn't make contact right now she will sometime in the future. she could easily "lurk" here without becoming a member and possibly contact someone via email, myspace or another way she may feel more comfortable. Don't give up hope just yet!
Vashely, I too thank you for bringing life back to this case again! :blowkiss:
Zanko, She did take far too good care of her appearance for someone not to be missing her.... it's just a matter of finding that someone.
Christine, thanks for the update!

How do we know LDJ is a parent now?? Has someone actually spoke with the REAL LDJ? I know we have found possibilities on myspace but not a for sure one. :waitasec:

I think Cubby was speaking hypothetically, Theresa.

Actually awhile back I posted a newspaper article that was a birth announcment for a Lindsey D DeJong in Spokane...I really think that was her, I think the girl was born around March 2007 to her and a man named Andrew Gasper.
But it listed her as Dejong still in 2007 unless she has since married this guy. I also found several other birth announcements from Andrew Gasper with several other women differnet years.
I still have their names since they could possibly fill us in if these 2 are still together etc

Also, Wanted to share this
I ran the story about MJD to my husband, because he always seems to think of things I havent thought of... He is usually pretty good to bounce ideas off of.
I told him about her "jumping etc etc" OH I left out the part about my little experiement at 75 mph....down the interstate with Dad LOL
( oh ps as much as I wanted the experiment to be as accurate as possible, I DID decided to keep my seatbelt ON)
Anyway, I told him about the mans story about them smoking pot and her FREAKING out babbeling and them just jumping out. HE SAID, MAYBE the Pot was laced with something ELSE, like LSD or PCP and she really WAS FREAKING OUT and JUMPED.....
IF she were hallucinating maybe, I wonder if she was tested for these drugs....Maybe him and Lindsey were used to this kind of laced Joint and she wasnt!!! and she really did have a freak out..
So I started looking into these things and here is something I found, they DO PUT PCP ON MARIJANA JOINTS and smoke them. Now I WONDER what the drugs scene was like around there in 1999, was PCP big around there??
PCP is consumed in a recreational manner by drug users. It comes in both powder and liquid forms (PCP base is dissolved most often in ether
but typically it is sprayed onto leafy material such as marijuana
then smoked. Common street names for the drug vary from locale to locale, but include "angel dust," "illy," "wet," "BrainTree," "Titter YumYum," "fry," "amp," "cake," "nature boy," "love boat," "cornbread", "Ashy Larry", "Clarky Cat" ,"Hairy Jerry", "supergrass" (when combined with marijuana) and "leak
The term "embalming fluid" is often used to refer to the liquid PCP in which a cigarette or joint is dipped (a "sherm", "dipper" or "dippy"), to be ingested through smoking. Smoking PCP is known as "getting wet."
Psychological effects include severe changes in body image, loss of ego boundries
Visual hallucinations and euphoria.
The drug has been known to alter mood states in an unpredictable fashion, causing some individuals to become detached, and others to become animated. Intoxicated individuals may act in an unpredictable fashion, driven by their delusions or hallucinations. Included in the portfolio of behavioral disturbances are acts of self-injury including suicide, and attacks on others or destruction of property. The analgesic properties of the drug can cause users to feel less pain, and persist in violent or injurious acts as a result. Recreational doses of the drug can also induce a psychotic state that resembles schizophrenic episodes

I totally get the continued questions about how and why she died-I think that Susie Dodt and LE are truly looking for a means to id her. I am more curious as to if Susie has a picture of the ring that was mentioned so we can include it in the interview stuff.....Thoughts?

I don't think we have received any official info about MJD's tox screen. Phenol, I like the way your mind works. I know that "sherms" were very popular among gang members in Southern California during the 1990's. There are myriad accounts of shermheads jumping off buildings, climbing trees, etc. I believe that one of the more common effects of PCP is feeling like you have the ability to fly.

I found this info
It seems PCP was around PHOENIX in 1999
PCP. The distribution and abuse of the hallucinogen PCP (phencyclidine) pose a low but increasing threat to Arizona, particularly Phoenix. PCP was developed as an intravenous anesthetic, but use of the drug in humans was discontinued in 1965 because patients became agitated, delusional, and irrational while recovering from its effects. PCP, also known as angel dust, embalming fluid, ozone, wack, and rocket fuel, is produced illegally in laboratories in the United States. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a bitter taste. The drug can be mixed with dyes and is available as a tablet, capsule, liquid, or colored powder.
PCP may be snorted, smoked, injected, or swallowed. When smoked, PCP often is applied to mint, parsley, oregano, tobacco, or marijuana. When combined with marijuana, the mixture is called killer joint or crystal supergrass. PCP also is administered by dipping a marijuana cigarette in a solution of PCP-laced embalming fluid and smoking it. This combination is known as fry or amp.
PCP is available primarily in Phoenix; it is available in other areas of Arizona, but to a much lesser extent. In the Phoenix metropolitan area, PCP-related ED mentions increased from 40 in 1997 to 61 in 2001 and 83 in 2002, according to DAWN. Most PCP in Arizona is produced in California and transported into the state primarily by local independent dealers in private vehicles. Local independent dealers are the primary distributors of PCP in the state. However, the Phoenix Police Department reported that street gangs distribute PCP in its jurisdiction. PCP typically is distributed at the same venues as club drugs and primarily is abused by young adults.
Then I found this Article from January 20 1999 ARIZONA a 17 yr old boy on PCP

The 17-year-old teen, whose name was not released, screamed that he was going to kill himself before and after the accident, said Department of Public Safety Officer Jason Stevens. The student was taken to University Medical Center with a broken collarbone, a head injury and numerous cuts and bruises.

I sat on a federal jury in Vegas about 4 years ago where the guy was charged with possession with intent to distribute. He had a Snapple bottle full of PCP. We found him guilty, but couldn't figure out why it was a federal case. Found out after the verdict was handed down that this fellow had already been convicted of SS fraud, among other things. This was in Vegas. I know when I was a teenager, PCP laced weed was quite popular (NOT WI
