Identified! TX - Huntsville, 'Walker County Jane Doe', WhtFem 14-16, 91UFTX, Nov'80 Sherry Ann Jarvis

[Finders]

I believe on the Namus site it has the updated rule out list. It is odd to me that WCJD has so few ruleouts compared to Buckskin JD.

I wonder if that has to do with her age? Don't all the profiles for children in the system (and any subsequent changes that are made) have to be run through NCMEC?

Has Theresa Jones been discussed? I do not see either on the rule out list. https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/32747/35

Therese Jones has a gap between the front teeth. I'm not sure how the dentals of Walker County looked like.

And a rose tattoo.

Theresa V Jones' case first came to public attention because her sisters posted on the Who Was Walker County Jane Doe FB page. The gapped teeth and tattoo rule her out as being WCJD.

Is there any way to find out why someone was ruled out & by who? When I talked to detective about Rachel Garden being a possible match, he said she had been ruled out by law enforcement. Didn't know which agency, why or when. I know they don't always disclose info but if not DNA, could testing still be done?

My experience with NamUs is that they won't tell how someone was ruled out specifically, like whether it was dental, fingerprints, etc, they will just tell me something generic like they both have profiles in CODIS with no associations, or they were ruled out based on biometrics (but won't say which one). I personally have never been concerned with who, so I've never asked.

Sometimes medical examiners are more forthcoming than LE, especially if you have a relationship with them about more than one case or submission.

I always wondered if it was by DNA that ruled laureen Rahn out too, or how and why she was ruled out, because the photo of laureen and the sketch of WCJD look identical to me

OT, but were TVJ's sisters ever successful in their search for her? Thank you once again for all you do, Carl!

Has WCJD ever been done as a recon/re-enactment on something like Unsolved Mysteries?

Looking at the post-mortem photos.. she looks so young, a girl who does not yet look like a woman, as a late teenager might.

I agree with the earlier observation that she looks like she could be sleeping. The "looked like they were asleep" has been remarked with some other child murder victims. Kylie Maybury, for one.

I started reading again from the beginning to refresh my memory. It's almost been 8 years since this thread was started. So glad people are still active here. I'm guessing this girl was never reported as missing. I know that's already been discussed. I really have nothing new to add that hasn't already been said. Lots of good ideas have been brought up. The only thing I'm wondering is if there is a way to find out who the employees at the prison were during that time? I know all prisoners were asked if they knew her but were all employees asked?

No, they weren't. They have turned in their DNA FRS's though.

Has the search for 'Kathy' in the photo hit a dead end? I can't imagine how difficult it must be to try and find someone just through a photo

Yes, until someone can step forward to say they know who she is.

"Kathleen/Cathleen" looks close though WCJD had been beaten which would make a difference.
