The height would match, but I have no idea how they have not determined ancestry of the victim.

BethInAK · Jul 7, 2008

and i like the laundry thing - that works well to explain why the victim had all these clothes and stuff with her.

Spazkat9696 · Jul 7, 2008

I think your doe is Chinese because the label on her clothing was in Chinese. She may not have been in the country legally, so no one reported her missing. I hope that she was not involved in sex trafficking. I really hate jerks who subject people to such things.

pixies · Jul 7, 2008

Wow, it could be!

Spaz, I agree, she could be but I shop at thrift stores and yard sales and various other clothing places off the beaten track and have clothes with lables from far far away.

Just throwing that out there.

Not only was Kimberly supposed to be going to do laundry, but, she always carried extra clothing with her in her car. When Kim's car was found, it was completely empty.

Yes, the height & age would match. I'm not sure why they didn't or couldn't determine the UID females ancestry. I wonder if these remains are available and if so, could a forensic sketch be done.

Kimberly was known to always keep a change of clothes in her trunk as she would go to Killeen, TX to the Army base (Fort Hood??) and kept clothes with her for the weekend at all times. When car was found there was NOTHING in the car and trunk empty. The car appeared to have been cleaned of evidence. Her car was found outside of Dallas.

Cymro · Jul 8, 2008

Could the clothing have survived 11 years though? I certainly see the similarities but the fact that the remains were skeletalized but the clothing had survived would probably suggest a date of death, at a guess, in the late 90s.

Earthbound Misfit I · Jul 8, 2008

Good question about the clothes. I suppose it may depend on if the UID female was placed inside a stock tank that was covered. If she was inside one of those and wrapped in a quilt and if the clothing were also inside the quilt I'm not sure how long the fabric would last in those conditions.

I just figured there was a chance it could be Kim (or more like wishing it was Kim) being they couldn't or didn't estimate a date for the UID female's death.

I know Kim's mom via trading emails back and forth about Kim's case and I sure wish that Kim would be found for her families sake. Kim's mom has always said she hopes she lives another day (she has been ill) and hopefully live long enough...until Kim is found.

I'd sure call this one in RK !!! Looks close enough to at least check it out, IMO !!

Earthbound Misfit I · Jul 16, 2008

I just received an email from Kim's mom. She said that Kim did have all her bedding with her because she was going to do laundry at her cousin's place.

marysawol · Sep 4, 2008

RKnowley, Have you heard anything yet? It sure seems like this is a match.

Earthbound Misfit I · Sep 4, 2008

Marysawol, all I've heard from the TXMPCH is that they forwarded the information to the proper investigators and that they are still investigating. They (TXMPCH) said the process could take months to complete. I will keep everyone informed on what I find out.

Aphra · Sep 4, 2008

RKnowley, did you forward the description of the clothing found with the body to see if Kim's mom recognized any of it? (besides the sheet sets)

Earthbound Misfit I · Nov 13, 2009

Kimberly Shawn Cheatham's DNA was compared to the UID female. The results came back negative.

Circumstances of Disappearance

Prasek was last seen by her mother at 7:30 in their home in Spring, Texas on December 19, 1997. This was less than an hour before she was to leave home to get on a bus for school. Michelle may have been on the school premises that day, but she did not attend classes. She was a seventh-grader at Knox Junior School in The Woodlands.

The next day Michelle's mother reported her missing to local authorities in Montgomery County, Texas.

Michelle had reportedly quarreled with her mother about shopping plans.
Michelle has had no prior history of running away and no trouble with the law or school. She was a good student academically. Michelle's parents are divorced and, prior to her disappearance, she was looking forward to spending the Christmas holidays with her father in Kingsville, Texas. The family including another daughter moved to the Spring area near the Woodlands from Louisiana in September.

Michelle may have a sleeping bag, a handmade patchwork quilt, $20 in cash and her orange Tabby cat with her. She may have left the state. The girl's mother first thought Michelle might have spent the night with another girl.Foul play is suspected in Michelle's disappearance.
