Jane Doe used the mailing address 6102 Mockingbird, #191 on her Social Security application in July 1988. With the kind assistance of several Dallas area librarians, I've gotten scans from the 1988/89 city directories published by Polk and Cole (see attached). The Polk directory includes a...

Interesting line of thought. I finally purchased a copy of "How to find missing persons: a handbook for investigators"/ Ronald George Eriksen 2 [sic] (Loompanics; Port Townsend, WA, 1984). To review, this is the book that explained CNA numbers to me, and which I refer to in post #6 in this...

Thanks, NCSleuth and snarlingcoyote. I'm always interested in accuracy, even if the exact family relationships turn out to be irrelevant. I'm hoping that Mr. Velling has compared the signature on the letter with this Roger Steinbeck's signature. I think that someone who knew Jane Doe as Lori...

My sources on the below are publicly available records, as well as the various "people-finder" sites that come up when Googling random names, so take with a grain of salt. Leaving details out to preserve some privacy. My working theory is that Roger Steinbeck (age early eighties, no photos...

Thanks! I'm trying to document sources in my posts, I have a manila folder's worth of my own scrawled notes and print-outs, and I have an email folder going with a few messages sent under my real name. I'm very appreciative of your summary lists of dates and facts. What I sometimes find...

The letter of reference from Roger Steinbeck, which is Item 10 in the Seattle Times image gallery, seems important to me. The signature is very confident, and the tone of the text seems appropriate and relaxed (i.e. not an obvious attempt to impress or impersonate). However, the caption for...

@mrskeev- C.N.A. numbers were changed "regularly," according to the book I quoted (published in 1984) in Post#1297. They were/are intended for phone company employees only. My presumption is that 303-293-2333 was later re-asssigned to a business. @magnum p.e.- I'm also a little overwhelmed...

Hi all, I've just been trying to catch up, both here and at the Seattle Times comment thread. My worry, with the seemingly endless number of photos of missing persons being compared, is that it is SO easy to fool yourself. Check out this article on "look-alike" celebrities (the Daily...

Thanks, Magnum P.E. The old Loompanics catalogs were updated regularly, and are definitely findable. At the moment, a copy of "Loompanics Unlimited - 1989 Main Catalog" is offered for sale on abebooks for $20 by a San Francisco bookstore. The old mailing list would indeed be interesting...

I believe I know the meaning of the "CNA" and the "ours 303-293-2333" notations on the scratch paper from Jane Doe's lockbox. I think the fraud lawyer and oil company identifications previously mentioned are most likely red herrings. I searched Google Books for the string 303-293-2333. On...

Interesting that it says she paid for w/check. Too bad it is probably too long ago to research.....seems the check would have had her real name on it right? ----------------------[end quote] This is a great image- where did you find it? It doesn't seem to be one of the 24 numbered images...

Hi all, My first post too. On the issue of where Jane Doe learned to acquire a new identity, there were a number of easily available books on the topic in the mid-1980s. The two most notorious publishers of books on "underground" topics were Paladin Press (Boulder, CO), and Loompanics...
