MD MD - Laurel, in woods near Rte 197, WhtFem 19-25, UP2334, poor dentition, poss looked older, Dec'72

[CarlK90245]

This is not Cathy Moulton. Cathy had her four canine teeth (#6, 11, 22, and 27) removed before getting braces on her teeth. If you look at the UID's dental chart in NamUs, it indicates that the #6 tooth was still present. The 11, 22, and 27 teeth were present at the time of death, but were lost postmortem.

Some thoughts...although i struggle with the description and the clay model.

Elizabeth Lande:https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/2508/ (no dna, dentals on file) Hair was strawberry blonde.

Gloria Reiken: https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/22839/ (no dentals but dna on file) Hair also strawberry blonde. Slightly over the year doe is estimated to have died. Also very long distance between missing and found sites.

Jeanette Miller: https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/4581/ 50 minutes away from Maryland. Brown hair. No dentals, dna submitted. Probably a long shot but i've listed her.

Am probably completely off track but it's over a year since we have looked at anything & I thought tonight i would try to concentrate on our does who haven't been looked at in a year or so.....

Linda Peugeot? She did have a child, and was probably dead longer than the estimated 6 months, but hmmm.........

I also thought of Marylou Bostwick, although she is a little younger than this doe supposedly was. However it does say "May have appeared older than her real age" for the doe on Namus and the timings and hair color match with Marylou, as does the height. Geographically they are fairly close too (New York & Maryland). Marylou went missing in July 1972. This doe was found in December 1972 and had been deceased approximately six months.

So far, only Helen Allison http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/a/allison_helen.html is listed as a rule out via NamUs. She was the best candidate I could find.

Laurel Jane Doe has been unidentified for 45 years today. There is an article about her case from The Washington Post published in 1988 visible in the images section of her NamUs profile that is interesting.

Samuel Little has confessed to her murder, but they are still unable to identify the victim.

“Nelson said Little thought the woman was from the Massachusetts area and had a child. Little said she told him her divorce had been finalized that day.”

“Nelson said Little thought the woman was from the Massachusetts area and had a child. Little said she told him her divorce had been finalized that day.”

Thank you. Just adding a bit more from article:

Little said he met the woman in a bus station on New York Avenue in D.C. in May or June 1972, and they began driving north on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. About a quarter-mile north of Route 197 in Laurel, they pulled off the road into a wooded area down a couple of dirt roads and had sex. He then strangled her. He thought she was dead, but she “tried to stagger away from him,” Nelson said. Little caught up to her and strangled her a second time, killing her.

Her body was found by a hunter in December of that year. The area is a subdivision of single-family houses now.
---
The woman was described by the medical examiner as white; between 5-foot-2 and 5-foot-6; having dirty blonde to reddish hair, and being in her early 20s — all details that Little got right in his confession. “Everything matched up,” Nelson said.




As per NamUs article she was found by hunter between Baltimore - Washington Parkway and Rte 197. It mentions also that it is close to I-295 corridor.

Laurel Jane Doe has been unidentified for 46 years today.

Serial killer Samuel Little sketches victim from 1972 homicide in Maryland that he confessed to

Police hope the image, which shows a woman with greenish eyes, dark hair and full lips, will help them learn the identity of the victim who detectives have only known as Jane Doe since her remains were found 46 years ago.
---
The details Little gave matched the description of the oldest case of an unidentified homicide victim out of Prince George’s.

Little said he met a woman, who he described as a prostitute, at the Old Greyhound Bus Station on New York Avenue, according to the account from law enforcement. After talking for about three days, they drove to a wooded area off Maryland Route 197 for sex. That is when he strangled her, police said.
---
Little appears to have a photographic memory and was able to relay details down to dirt roads and turns he took before he killed the woman, police said.
---
Little described the woman he killed in Laurel as “pretty” and “attractive,” according to Nelson. Little also said he preyed on people he thought no one would miss.

“‘She just met the wrong person — me,’”
---
The woman’s body was in the woods for months before she was discovered by a hunter. When she was found, nothing but bones remained.

The medical examiner determined she was a white woman, about 5 feet 2 inches to 5 feet 6 inches tall, with dirty blond to reddish hair. Police said she was about 19 when she was killed.
---
She mentioned she was from Massachusetts, had a child and recently had been divorced.

Below is a photo of the reconstruction of her face as shown in the Doe network sebsite:

Here's the official version side by side with Little's sketch. Click to enlarge.

 

[Richard]

If Little has such a good "photographic" memory, and had talked to this woman for 3 days before he killed her, it would seem probable that at some point she would have given him her name, along with all the other details recalled by him.

Although he recalls that she came from Massachusetts, it is very possible that she had been in the Washington DC area for some time - or that she may have had ties to Baltimore, since that is the direction that she was traveling with him before being killed.

Just a clarification of an earlier post, the Baltimore Washington Parkway is also called I-295.

Possibly, though it seems like in a lot of cases, people only exchange street names, not real identities.

According to mentions on news stories around the Boston area, she doesn't match any known missing person. Which doesn't mean much because the vast majority of missing persons reports in Massachusetts are kept locally, not even at the state level and only rarely in Namus or Codis.

I am not sure why pictures keeps timing out on WS, even recent ones.

Well, both sketches again here - His drawing (on the right) does have good resemblance to her original reconstruction by coroners
