Obituary for Kathleen M. Martin at Palos-Gaidas Funeral Home & Cremation Services

Rest in Peace. You are not forgotten.

Maybe the bones are fragments, with no usable DNA? There are missing people and children in that zip code, would they all be investigated for a possible match to these remains? :(

I sure wish we knew more about the skeleton and the murder of Vera, Adrian and Tate :(

I'm sure this article from the Chicago Tribune OCT 29 1974 is unrelated but this building had a horrible event.

Couldn't find a newspaper article about this, poor woman found in a blanket, bound with duct tape, in the Chicago river. Anymore info on this? Poor poor woman :(

bumping for Jesse

There's a cemetery nearby, maybe this skeleton came from a grave robbery. It is frustrating not knowing anything. :oops:

I found this type by searching brass ear hooks, I cannot find an exact ear hook on the internet This earring or necklace had beads, I'm sure. I wish there was more information about this person. :(

These look similar to the decedents, flat french ear wires? I can't really tell if they were gold or silver.

I wonder how old the victim was. She had graying roots but some people grow grey hair young. How can we get the DNA Doe Project involved in this? I thought we would be seeing mass Doe identifications with their help this year but I think the pandemic delayed a lot of testing all over.

I hope that person was unidentified. How can we get more information on these bones? Can we request reports for unknown decedents? I spotted another error today on Namus, city was spelled wrong but these description errors can leave these people unidentified for longer. How long after does...

I wrote to an investigator in 2016 about this description error in NAMUS, she didn't see the error right away. When I wrote back and pointed it out,I never heard back. Can we request reports from the Chicago Medical Examiner on unidentified persons?
