Hi!

I have been reading posts from websleuths for the last couple of months and YES I am addicted. What brought me to this website is that I have been looking into an unsolved murder case Shafter Jane Doe.

Giving Shafter Jane Doe a name means a lot to me. I remember this case as a child and it has always stuck with me. Also, the detective on this case is my father - Detective Kolsch (retired). Of all the cases that I grew-up hearing this one still haunts me and I am more than happy to pass on any suggestions to my father or provide information (that I am allowed to, to this forum)

I am asking for your help in getting this thread back-up.

I know this is not one of your bigger cases but this female deserves justice and a name to put on her headstone.


Thank you,

Kristin Kolsch

Welcome to Websleuths. Glad to have you on board!

 

[Researcher26]

Thanks so much!! I am glad to be here.

I just wanted to post some info, I do not know if it was in any of the articles or how much it will help but here it goes.

1) Days prior to Shafter Jane Doe being located there was a phone call made to the highway patrol. The caller stated they thought a body was being dumped about 1 mile marker after the Shafter Exit. Three-Four days later Shafter Jane Doe was located. Unfortunately, HP did not get the name of the individual(s) that called. HP did check out the mile marker that the phone caller stated the body was being dumped, however, being the wrong mile marker they of course did not find anything.

2) Couple days prior to Shafter Jane Doe being found a male went into the Oasis Bar in Oasis Nevada. Oasis is located approximately 3 miles west of the Shafter Exit. The guy was "acting weird" and stated that he could not find his wife. HP was called out and nothing was thought of regarding the situation, to my understanding no information was gathered on this man. It is said the man was driving an older station wagon possibly green.

3) The Shafter Jane Doe was televised by "Sightings" I do not know if anyone remembers that show. I haven't tried to find the tv broadcast online, but maybe it is still available.

I just want to say one thing I do not want to focus on what was not done right regarding LE. I want everyone to understand at the time no one ever imagined a young girl was/going to be murdered. I am here to try and give her back her identity that was brutally taken from her.

I do not know how to open threads but there is another unsolved case I was talking to with my dad it was a double homicide Tolman & Boyd found on Highway 93 N. This highway would be the one you take from Elko, NV to Twin Falls, ID. They were rock hunters, I do not have a lot of information on them. But, once again I could find any info that might be important in solving the murder case.

[Charlie99909]

I remember sightings very well. The broadcast though isn't in my mind, maybe cause I only was interested in the ghosts and ufos.

The Elko County Jane Doe:
http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/125ufnv.html
https://identifyus.org/cases/4920

Charley says Lola has brown hair, green eyes and breast implants, a scar on the right knee and another in her forehead.
The UID has a scar in the right calf area which might fit depending on where exactly on her knee Lola's scar is and if it extends to her calf. The UIS is said to have blonde hair and brown eyes which I suppose could be a match since the line between green and brown eyes and brown and blonde hair fluctuates.

But Lola's breast implants are a problem IMO since there is no mention of the UID having them. But they're not mentioned on Fry's Namus page either so maybe they get omitted sometimes.

The UID may have given birth. Does Lola have children?

 

[tifflee]

Is the age of the Jane Doe definitively 27 based on carbon dating? So, depending on if she had her birthday yet, the only ages to consider are 26-28?

===

If not, I thought Norine Kay Boyd is an interesting case. What makes this a long shot is the five year gap between disappearance and discovery, plus the photograph of Norine doesn't look like the reconstruction (I think the nose is narrower on Shafter Jane Doe), but the nose is wider on the SJD sketch.

Aside from that, the interesting details from the profiles are:

1. Norine disappeared right before Christmas in 1988 from Rupert, ID at the age of 29. That would make her 35 when SJD was found, the upper limit on Doe Network and NamUs.

2. She has blonde hair, hazel eyes, and was 5'7" and 125 lbs. SJD has blonde air, brown eyes, and was 5'8" and 144 lbs so she was heavier.

3. Per NamUs, SJD had three scars on her right lower leg (if I am reading correctly), although one may be a birthmark per an article posted above. Norine has three surgical scars.

4. Norine has three young sons. SJD may have gone through childbirth.

5. Norine used marijuana and cocaine. When her car was found, there were nine empty Coors Light cans in addition to an empty Nytol bottle and amphetamines. SJD had alcohol and marijuana in her system.

6. Rupert, ID (where Norine disappeared from) is nearly 50 miles/1.25 hours to City of Rocks, ID (where her car was found). City of Rocks, ID is nearly 250 miles/4.75 hours to Afton, WY. SJD was found in Elko, ID, but likely spent the last seven months of her life near Afton, WY and those two are 380 miles/6.5 miles apart so large distances are not unheard of in the SJD case. Google Map here.

7. Norine had a large sum of money which was never found after her disappearance. Could this sustain her over five years?

8. The geographies are not unrelated in that the Idaho, Wyoming, and Nevada locations are all close to their respective shared state borders.

Her father found her apartment door ajar when he went to check on her after she called him, upset. Christmas music was playing on the stereo. Her purse and presents for her children were undisturbed on the table.

Nearly three months later, on March 10, 1989, hikers found her gray Ford sedan at the base of the Twin Sisters formation in the City of Rocks. Her crushed sunglasses were on the ground next to her belt.

Cassia County sheriff's deputies inventoried the scene: Nine empty Coors Light cans; cigarette butts littering the ground; an empty bottle of Nytol sleep aid and a makeup case containing cross-tops - a form of amphetamine. They said the car, with the driver's-side door unlocked, had been there a long time.
Norine Boyd was the mother of three young boys.

Boyd had a large sum of money before she vanished after taking out a signature loan for as much as $6,000 from a finance company and also collecting rent on the apartments she managed. None of the money was ever found.

Something about this JD has been bugging me and I just figured out what it is. It says she was in the "middle" of having a root canal. Root canals are normally done in one setting, you don't get half now half later. What's up with that? If they meant she had on a plastic temporary crown, then there's a dentist out there who has a patient that never came in to pick up their permanent crown, which are costly. Seems like they would have reported that in the original stories in an attempt to get the dentist to come forward. The only other explanation I can come up with is her captor/killer was a dentist.

That bothered me, too. Acton, Wyoming isn't a very big town. Out of curiosity, I looked up dentists there on an online yellow pages and found out that currently there were only about six dentists in town. I'm not sure how many there were back in 1993. I guess that she could have traveled to a dentist out of town to do the dental work. It seems that a dentist would notice if one of their patients didn't ever come back for her permanent crown.

I had a root canal that was a two-stage job. They cleaned out the big stuff, packed it with antibiotics and gave me an antibiotic prescription, and sent me to a specialist for the final cleaning-out two weeks later. This was because the dentist spotted an issue that he wasn't prepared to deal with. Maybe something similar happened to her?

I know that the age and hair color are a bit off, but I think that the reconstruction of the woman found in Elko County, NV looks a lot like Martha Green --

Ambercat, did you submit this possible? I see a resemblance too!

 

[CarlK90245]

There's somewhat of a resemblance, but considering the circumstances, I'd say probably not. This doesn't look like someone who would just up and start a new life after being left in a car by her brother while he walked to the nearest gas station..

 

[Ambercat]

I know she was recently suggested in another UID case, but I was wondering if Jinisina Stonehouse had been looked at as a possible match?
