Bump.
Born Rogene Annette McColley and married David Joseph Helm in Joplin, Missouri in 1969 (but both were from Oklahoma). The marriage record (on Ancestry) gives her DoB as about 1952, making her 33 or 34 at the time she went missing. A post from her son on a Reddit thread says she had 3 children (it gives no other information and was posted to say she could not be Albuquerque Doe - who had not had children). Rogene McColley seems to have come from quite a large family (she also appears in Kansas census records from the 50s which show 3 older siblings and confirm her DoB) - which makes the lack of information in this case surprising (given children and siblings).

Welcome to Websleths jhelm. <modsnip: removed reference to quoted post> I see that NAMUS has now been updated and says she was 34. I put in a request for the thread title to be edited to say 34. I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom-- I can't imagine how difficult that has made your life, not knowing for sure what happened to her. I pray your mom is found soon.

A Florida man is desperate for answers to what happened to his mother, Rogene Helm, so he drove all the way here to Broken Arrow, where she was last seen.

Rogene was last seen at her Broken Arrow home in 1986. Her son, Jerry, says he was always told his mother left them, but Jerry says deep down he believes someone killed her. He drove here hoping to find out who.

The case is the longest active missing persons case for Broken Arrow Police Department. If you have any information call Crime Stoppers at 918-596-COPS.

Son Determined To Find What Happened To Mother Who’s Been Missing For 34 Years

Does anyone think that this Rogene Jensen on mugshots.com looks like Rogene Helm? The DOB is a little bit off (by 3 years) but I thought they looked very similar. I note that Rogene had a nickname Jeanie so I was curious if the name Rogene Jensen could be an alias. Just a thought... Best search engine for True crime stories | Mugshots.com
I’m not an expert, but I would say no. It’s very close, but there are differences. The teeth are different. A mole or beauty mark on Rogene #2’s upper right cheek isn’t present on Rogene #1. Shape of the nose of each woman is slightly different.

I hope Rogene Helm’s son is able to find her.
