Identified! OH - Lima, LIVING WhtFem UP12769, 30-40, Aug'14 - Ann Miller

Wow - that is super weird. Shades of Lori Erica Kennedy.

from the article mikkismom posted: Detectives searched her computer and found various Internet searches on how to conceal a person’s identity. There was a search on the length of time federal investigators look for someone. She asked Google if a heat source could kill her DNA. She had repeated searches on ways to destroy her fingerprints and checked on every state’s procedure to obtain an identification card, Baker said.


“At this point in the game, no one hides her identity like she does for an overdue speeding ticket. There’s something more serious here,” Baker said.


Additionally, she searched information about obtaining a passport, researched Russia and how to get across the Bering Straight, a distance of 51 miles between the tip of Alaska and Russia, Baker said.


The woman said she had never been to school, never obtained a birth certificate or a Social Security number, never held a job and never paid taxes or filed a return, Baker said.
 
Could it be Kacie Aleece Peterson? Though the age is off.

The image on the left is the Ohio UID, the one on the right is Kacie.

They do look similar but Kacie is 70" and 'Julia' is 66". Plus the age difference.

jmo

eta: Kacie's eyes are blue, 'Julia's' are green.
 
Kacie Peterson was determined to be the confused teenager wandering around in NYC (http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?90660-NY-Missing-girl-in-NYC-doesn-t-know-who-she-is). If you look at the pictures of her taken at that time, she has very strong features that, IMHO, aren't present in this woman. Kacie has since gone "missing" again, but her story makes it seem more likely that she chose to disappear. I also don't know why Kacie would be fighting so hard to conceal her identity. Other than being a troubled young woman, I am not aware of her being wanted for any crimes. Also, it says this woman has been in Florida since at least July 2013. Kacie didn't disappear (again) until November 2013.
 
The "Amnesia UI's "info has been posted on several missing persons social network sites. Her fingers had been damaged so LE could not get usable prints when she was first found in 2013. Medically speaking, how long would it take damaged finger pads to heal so usable prints could be collected?
 
I agree Kacie is unlikely, but in that picture of her in court there is a strong similarity. As for the eye color, I have hazel eyes, if you ask my mom, she would say they are blue, as they were when I was a child. If you ask my husband, he would say green.

Here is another article from Florida. It says she may have lived there until February of this year. http://www.naplesnews.com/news/loca...in-ohio-has-ties-to-fort-myers-beach_56875612

I'm confused? Who was found in 2013? Kacie is the one reported to have amnesia, she was reported missing in 2013. She was also found wondering the streets of NYC in 2009. Were her fingertips damaged?

The LimaOhio.com news story has conflicting info about the damaged fingers of the UID in Ohio. At first it says they were badly burned, and later in the story, it says she had so much lotion on her hands when she went to be fingerprinted, that the FBI was unable to get prints.

The woman, who goes by the name Julia Bay Wadsworth, lived in Fort Myers Beach as recently as February, according to online voter registration records and news reports in Ohio...

Detectives say she has been in Ohio caring for the 95-year-old mother of a Florida family she previously was living with...

She is also listed in an October 2013 lawsuit in Fort Myers against a man she accused of libel, assault and slander. The matter was dismissed.
 
My apologies. I was referring to the woman who calls herself "Julia" as the amnesia UI. "Julia" is the one that has the damaged fingers so fingerprinting was impossible.
 
Two things I've found: one article that says she may originally be from Tennessee (doesn't say why). And I can't find any other information on the man she sued for libel last October--I wonder if his name is misspelled in the court doc? Very weird case.
 
What could have made someone who wanted to keep a low profile file a defamation (and assault) lawsuit, knowing she would be sleuthed if it made it to court? This legal website explains slander (spoken defamation) versus libel (written/published defamation):

http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/defamation-slander-libel

As the site says, "truth is an absolute defense to libel and slander" and if the man she accused of libel and slander could prove that his statements about her were true, the l&s charges couldn't stick. So she had to have known she would be scrutinized by the accused's lawyers.

As FiveFelines said, though, there seems to be no online record of the man she accused aside from the lawsuit records themselves. You'd expect that there would have been a police complaint about the alleged assault mentioned in the lawsuit and there's seemingly no online record of that, either.

Timeline:

July 2013: "Julia Bay Wadsworth" is confirmed living in Fort Myers Beach, Florida this month if not earlier, at some point caring for an elderly man and "being taken in by" his family for several months. Online voter registration records list an address in Fort Myers Beach and list her age as 40, using a birthdate of November 1, 1973.

October 16, 2013: "Julia" files a lawsuit against a man for libel, assault and slander.

February 11, 2014: The lawsuit is dismissed "with prejudice," meaning the case was over and the charges cannot be refiled.

February ??? 2014: "Julia" arrives in Lima, Ohio to care for a 95-year-old woman whose family she had resided with in Florida (it's unclear if this is the same family whose elderly male relative she cared for in Florida until his/her death.)

???: "Julia" does online searches for concealing one's identity, the length of time federal investigators look for someone, whether DNA can be destroyed by a heat source, ways to destroy her fingerprints, every state's requirements to get an identification card, how to get a passport, how to get across the Bering Straight from Alaska to Russia and she researched Russia itself.

???: "Julia" gets an Ohio state identification card fraudulently using a Maine birth certificate and listing nonexistent persons as her parents. The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles investigates.

???: During the BMV's investigation, "Julia" arrives to be fingerprinted with her fingertips covered in lotion/print burned off. (This is unclear in news articles.) Fingerprints cannot be taken.

???: It is learned that at some point "Julia" has earned a GED diploma, doing very well on the testing.

August 5, 2014: "Julia" has her first court hearing as "Jane Doe." Bail is set at $50,000 cash.

Per NamUs, she has scars from some type of breast surgery as well as a scar around her navel, which research suggests might have been from an abdominoplasty (a tummy tuck.)

Assuming she never expected LE to search her computer, why did she search for fugitive information in such a roundabout way? Rather than researching how long the feds will search for someone, why didn't she just search her own name to see whether she was still listed as wanted, or if she's listed as a "Jane Doe perpetrator," the local crimestoppers page for the area she committed her crime?

I'm leaning toward the possibility she might not appear on any most wanted lists by name but she suspects LE has her DNA and/or fingerprints in CODIS in connection with a crime, hence her resistance to reveal them. Then again, she's been making efforts to hide her face even while living in Florida, so maybe she does think someone could recognize her.

This fugitive has close statistics:

"Julia" is 5 feet 6 inches -- HJJ is five feet 2 inches to five feet four inches
"Julia" is 130 pounds -- HJJ was 105-116 pounds in 1999
"Julia" is 30-40 years old -- HJJ uses birthdates between 1975 and 1980, making her 34 to 39 years old now
"Julia" has red/auburn hair -- HJJ's is listed as brown but looks reddish in her color photo
"Julia" has green eyes -- HJJ has green eyes
"Julia" has nipple scars -- HJJ has scars from breast implants
"Julia" also has a scar around her navel -- HJJ has had "several cosmetic surgeries" per Doe Network

Facial comparison ("Julia's" photos are in color, HJJ's are black & white):

 
News stations in Florida is reporting on the story. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/55814197/#.U-N1yGOurSg

According to Lee County voter registration records, Wadsworth was listed as living inside a mobile home off Main Street in Fort Myers Beach.

Neighbors told us they saw a woman matching Wadsworth's description taking care of an elderly man. The two would often walk around the neighborhood. Residents say she would almost always wear a wide-brimmed hat to cover her face.
 
I definitely see the resemblance between these two. Do you know HJJ's age when these pictures were taken? "Julia" looks like an older, more run-down HJJ, so if these pictures were from when she was younger, I think it's a pretty good match. Is the height discrepancy enough to make it a rule-out?
 
She must have felt quite confident with her Florida ID (drivers license or ID card) if she had one. If she were working as a caregiver, she could have been getting paid under the table, so may have not needed a SS#. But...to file a lawsuit -- that would require some sort of ID, wouldn't it? I'm assuming the photos from earlier are her ID photos? And...what sort of birth records did she use to get that Florida ID? And, if they worked for Florida, why didn't she use them again in Ohio?

I was first thinking she must have some sort of criminal past to have her prints in the system, but there's other reasons for having prints that may be in the system -- I had to get mine done a few years back for an extensive background check. She might be on the run from an old crime, but also maybe from an abusive husband or from the mob or whatever. Intriguing.
 
If HJJ wasn't arrested prior to the attempted murder charges, the mugshot photos must have been taken when she was 19, prior to bonding out of jail and fleeing. It looks like the August 1980 birthdate and height of 5 feet 4 inches is used most often, and I guess it's possible she grew an inch or two taller in her late teens.

Thanks for your feedback on the possible match. :)

And Abigail, that's a great point. Was she doing skilled nursing care for the two elderly or just assisting with daily living tasks? The elderly man in Florida was well enough to walk with her outside often so he might have not needed the type of nursing care that would require a nurse's license, maybe more of a companion/light housekeeping situation.
 
Not sure if I am allowed to post this..... so please delete if this is the case, but I think I found her facebook page. Caregiver, Lima, Ohio......It says she was originally from Bangor Maine. There is also some Japanese writing on her page.....

*edit* I removed the actual Facebook page but anyone can find it by simply looking under her name (minus middle). There aren't many listings and you will clearly see "caregiver" and "Lima, OH) **
