Identified! OK - Pittsburg Co, WhtMale UP5170 & WhtFem UP5174, 18-30, GSW, Apr'95 - Brian and Rachel Burr

Interesting tattoo on this missing woman, same initials. dates are off, but its possible.

I dunno -- looks quite possible. From 1984 to 1995 is plenty of time to get married and have kids, but she'd still be within the age range for the UID. The facial resemblance is pretty strong. The height and weight fit. We know Wilkinson wore jewelry with her initials on it.

I found it odd that his wedding band is described as having the initials in it but hers doesn't -- usually when a couple does matching bands, they're both engraved the same way.

There was also no mention of a tattoo on Jane Doe, Tammie Wilkinson has a tattoo of a blue "heart" with the initials "KN-TW" and an "arrow" through it on upper right bicep.

Skeletal remains a year old wouldn't show tattoos, would they?

Wait, he had tattoos. But I was sure hers said partial skeletal...Let me go check that.

Okay, this is interesting. Her remains are described as "decomposed and mummified," and postmortem interval of about a year. His is one month.

I think that is a mistake. I see where she was decomposed and mummified and he was decomposed but all I am seeing is that they were murdered around March 18, 1995 and found April 9, 1995 together, about 3 weeks. I think NamUS has it wrong.

He has tattoos ( Also he had a mustache )

What, Namus make a mistake????? :waitasec:

If he had a mustache they should show him with one. moo
 
Age, height, weight etc all match Benjamin Cannon, and his disappearance may have something to do with a cult, perhaps he and the woman were wed in some type of cult ceremony and that is why they are not tied together, because no one knew they were married? I dunno lol

Do you think Tammi is worth calling in? I am thinking if the remains were mummiffied, or if animals disturbed her it might not still be able to be seen. Namus lists her as "Not recognizable - Partial skeletal parts only" I am still very interested in the initials on the wedding ring.

I think it's worth a shot -- I agree that the tattoo might not have survived, and the rest is very close.
 
Are they engraved initials or a manufacturer's stamp? I was thinking it was a manufacturer's stamp as it mentioned it along with the 14k but didn't say anything about it being engraved. My engagement ring has a letter stamped in it but I don't know what it is for or what it means.
 
Ok, Spoke with the ME's office and with LE from Kansas City. They both seem excited, and now we are waiting on a dental match. The Jane doe was decomposed too much to see any tattoo's. She was not in nearly as good of shape as the John Doe. She attributed it to body fat (the fatter you are the slower you decompose). The initals are only engraved in the ring the male was wearing. Hopefully we will know more soon dentals are available for both.
 
Wow, that was quick. Not a match. Jane doe only had one filling and and Tammi had 4. Bummer. Back to the drawing board.
 
I don't know who these people are, but I can name someone who might have killed them, Angel Resendez Ramirez, executed in Huntville, Tx 2006. He was an illegal alien and serial killer from Mexico, and rode the rails from Texas to Kentucky, from California to Florida; active from 1986 to 1999 IIRC. Most of those he killed were within walking distance of a railroad. He variously used guns, knives, and blunt objects.

Resendez had a .38, and he was known to have ridden on the Union Pacific RR. I would imagine LE working this case knows all about Resendez.
 
The teeth do look remarkably close, though the missing woman left behind money in her car and that seems strange if she was alive and well several months later.

Has it ever been said whether the wedding rings were particularly expensive? They don't sound very fancy. High-end rings might not fit in to a scenario where a young couple ran away to get married and would need the money for traveling expenses or to get settled in their new place.
 
Sharon Redmon and her husband went missing in 1993 if dates are right ,shell casing were found to a small hand gun. Age is a bit out of range for her but I really wonder if they have compared this couple from virginia with the UID's . I will also mention I do not trust information list from OK ME's office to be correct on every account, but they most likely have two victims.
