Found Deceased WI - Jacquelyn Ranallo, 53, Mequon, 18 November 2015

[CharmingDi]

Fox6 also did a story on this tonight. They didn't mention identity theft but did mention a Sawzall in her kitchen that was unusual, missing key to house. And her male friend that was last to see her also went on biz trip next day and they made it seem like it was in a van. Not sure how accurate all of that was.

Identity theft is being investigated through her bank - Wells Fargo. Does anyone have any more insight into this mystery? I live in the area and I'm curious about who delivered the chair. Another thing - all keys have been found (or were left with her belongings except her house key - not yet found).

 

[Judy]

Wonder if she was selling things - furniture? and/or replacing furniture. If she was selling on-line, may account for the identity theft.

Sorry - I see someone has already covered the identity theft issue. I'm just now getting into this story - how sad. I can't believe they don't have more clues - they must!

So, her friend brought a chair over at 9:30 on November 17th and then we know she was alive on the 18th, with the last known act being checking her email at 10:51pm (assuming that was her and I would think it's probably true that it was.) It makes you wonder if the friend came over again the night of the 18th. Since the last known communication from Jackie was a text sent to that same friend but at 10:50am, it seems like any visitors to her home would have been surprise visitors. I could see her letting in someone she knows. Or, if they had made plans the previous night to meet up again that night.

The article says that her kitchen table had Christmas gifts on it that she'd bought for others so could the reciprocating saw have just been a gift for someone?

It's just such a strange case with so few clues to anything.

Since they have her phone, I wonder if they can tell when it was turned off. When they say that her phone was turned off I take that to mean that it was physically turned off vs just running out of battery. It would be interesting to know if she turned if off sometime soon after she sent the text to her friend or if it was later, after she last checked her email on the night of the 18th. Or, perhaps even more telling, if it went off sometime on the 19th.

The remains are being examined but there are multiple missing persons from the area so there's a good chance it's not Jackie. One thought is that it may be Stephanie Myles who has been missing since December, 2014.

The bones have been identified as Stephanie. RIP Stephanie and good thoughts for Jackie, wherever is she.

Ranallo Worked in Television, Theater, Was a Jockey

From acting, to television, Jacquelyn Ranallo seemed to do it all. The missing Mequon woman was found dead Tuesday. Ranallo did a great deal of work on Milwaukee Public Television's program Great TV Auction. An MPTV spokeswoman said Ranallo did work on air for that program as well as other fundraising campaigns.

Beth Perry met Ranallo during a 2009 production of "Wit" on the Waukesha Civic Theater stage. Ranallo's disappearance hit her hard.

"It was a hobby, I mean she was a jockey out in California, did you know that? She was a jockey, so she loved horses and loved all that," Perry said.
