I was a conduit only-there are too many to name that contributed but I would like to mention some of the white hats that stepped up-
Suzi Dodt, Maricopa County ME. With the thousands of poor souls she has touched in her lifetime, she never let this one go cold.
Det. Lankaster- he snatched the cold case from the files of a neighboring county and continues to pursue justice in this complicated, heartbreaking case.
Michael- Tawni's brother who set in motion these events as they have unfolded in the last 24 hours by googling and finding a lovely UID who clearly needed her name back.
Tammi- the aunt who took a leap of faith first emailing and then calling strangers to find information regarding her long lost niece.
Deborah- who had the strength to call a complete stranger and share a private moment of grief and pain when her heart told her head that her daughter was before her on the internet as a deceased child.
Vashley88- whose compostites of the UID created with such sensitivity from her morgue photos generated the recognition that ID'd Tawni.
Phenol- whose posting on City Data led the family to WS and the positive ID.
FMW- The contribution of the police report, the ME report and finally the pictures energized this case and caused Tawni to be found.
Fairy, Cubby, SS, Teresa, Reb (who started this whole thing, lol) Dee, absinthe, Marstan (both former members) and all who searched, guided, dissected, ranted, laughed and cried with us!
And of course, Christine2448 who kept us on task and facilitated, guided and freaked out with me the last 24 hours....
Thank you Tricia for giving us the bandwith to work together for this kind of an outcome.
Peace.
