    NJ NJ - Brielle, WhtFem 18-30, UP2274, hit by train, blue rosary, clothes, scars, Jun'08

    Thanks for bumping! I've been looking into this one for a long time. The rosary/jewelry, while inexpensive, has been difficult to pinpoint. It seems that multiple groups of people wore them at the time, be it for religious or fashion reasons. I've had some folks reach out as well saying that...

    Found Deceased CA - Fang Jin, 47, flew to LA from China, train to Palm Springs, Morongo Basin, 21 Jul 2023, w/ John Root Fitzpatrick, 55, (fnd dec.), 30 Jul ‘23 #2

    It would be a combination of date of last contact/sighting coupled with the wear on the bones/other items. Things like ligaments and other bone structures wear/degrade at different rates, which can probably provide a pretty good guess when factoring in weather and other natural elements, but I'd...

    This was not confirmed, but the incident report indicated that the train was heading towards Bayhead. I'm not sure that she was walking, though, as the report did not describe an upright person.

    It has always been my thought. Her tan and scars on her hands made me think of working on the boardwalk, maybe in a kitchen. The Islander paper, if it’s the correct one, was dated a day or two prior and published a few miles to the south for Long Beach Island—prime spot for summer work...

    I traced the sweater to the Morning Sun brand a few years ago. Unfortunately, not much of a help. It’s the type of thing you’d have seen in Kmart-type places, and I imagine probably common in thrift stores. I believe this is their current website Morning Sun Most of her clothing was fairly...

    Thank you for taking the time to reply. I tend to have periods where I just read as many cases as possible and try to match up details in case anything has been updated across any of the databases. To echo some of the other questions, did Dana have a car, or did she tend to travel by public...

    No such thing as ramblings! As another year passes, I'm happy to see that the case still garners interest. I'll try to respond to your points here--not as a rebuttal, but just as additional insight. I have sought the report from New Jersey Transit but have been unable to obtain it, and it seems...

    NY NY - Baldwin, BlkMale 20-25, UP2631, stuck by car, Yo-Gi-Oh trading card in wrapper, Jan'07

    This case has always stuck with me because I have worked with a lot of young men around this fellow's age in an area not too far from where this incident happened. A young man struck and killed by a vehicle. No identification--only possession is a Yu-Gi-Oh! card in the wrapper. Was it purchased...

    Just some additional questions as well -- Was the area that she was last seen in known for anything untoward? Was she still suffering from addiction at the time of her disappearance? Any significant dental work?

    In the interest of exhausting all avenues, I had been looking into the area, and a few news stories came up around 2008. This is my bit of a write-up about a different kind of angle. There are about 1,030 students at Manasquan High School, which serves students from Avon, Brielle, Belmar...

    In addition, this Jane Doe's death occurred during the beginning of the Manasquan suicide cluster that began in April 2008. There are about 1,030 students at Manasquan High School, which serves students from Avon, Brielle, Belmar, Spring Lake, Spring Lake Heights, and Sea Girt, New Jersey...

    I do think it is plausible given the possessions and sketch. Are there any other websites for missing Polish nationals? I haven't found a match on the website for the Polish Police. I'll just say that I'd be very wary of determining anything based on the PM photo other than that she was...

    Just an update. NJ Transit's custodian of records declined my request for the case report. I'm following up again with NJT Police.
