"Marshall said its a wooded area near farmland."

I can't believe she would be in the Navy because they could run her prints and ID her in an hour or two, imo.

The Hawaiian Hibiscus is the state flower of Hawaii.

The above article also says the victim is about 30 years old.

Maybe they were not able to get prints for some reason?

I think this lady hasn't been reported missing yet. If she is a military wife I can easily see how that could happen, away from family and friends, husband deployed, training or of course involved.

I hope she's identified soon.

I keep seeing 5'4" and 190 pounds. Is the differing ones possibly more in line with a soldier?

I haven't seen anything else. I thought I had read all the links.

I'm going to run a reverse image search on the tattoo and see if it yields anything. (Don't hold your breath, I've never had luck with a reverse image search ever. It seems to work on the show Catfish all the time lol, but has never worked for me.)

Eta: Some visually similar artwork...probably nothing. Other than that, nothing yet, will keep looking...

If this woman is on social media, I would think she might have posted a picture of her tattoo somewhere...maybe not...

I agree. There had been mention of possible differing weight and height up thread a bit.

Looks like it's approximately here: https://goo.gl/maps/uPMwt

I couldn't find a more precise address in the media reports. It looks like farmland on one side of Hatchers Lane and a forested swampy area on the other.

It appears the JMS company was awarded a contract from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science:

According to Sheriff’s Office spokesman Lt. Tommy Potter, the body is that of 26-year-old Jean Marie Smith of Hampton.

Smith’s body was found with a gunshot wound. Her death is being investigated as a homicide.

Smith served in the Navy from 2009 to 2011.

Her body was found Friday by a hunter in a wooded area on Hatcher’s Lane off Courthouse Highway.

Sorry if this has been answered.

The initials are hers or whoever is owner of the hoodie.

Issued military gear is always marked with initials. There are regs on where they are supposed to be marked. For tops, it is back of the collar or on the tag.

RIP Jean, I hope they find whoever did this to you.

RIP Jean Marie Smith. May they find the perpetrator of this crime & Prosecute to the fullest extent the law will allow. Thoughts & prayers to family and friends.

She had the thin white necklace on in all of her recent pics. It must be very special to her.
