Case History: Found in remote area.

As both this Doe and Clampitt have fingerprints available, I would think they would've matched already. What's more, it looks like she hadn't been dead long enough to be Clampitt, who was almost certainly dead by the time she was reported missing in June of 1987.

Valid points, but I still think Clampitt's worth a submit. Estimate could be off or victim may have been kept alive for awhile It would be easy to rule out with fingerprints...

Who would've kept her alive? Robinson was incarcerated by then.

Hi everybody,

i just came across the case of Tina Marie Finley.

To me the pictures seem to be a great match:



What do you guys think?

Age is a match, Height and Weight seem to fit as well.

You got a link for Tina?

Checked the distance from Gretna, LA to Galveston Island State Park and it's over 6 hrs...I thought it was closer...

Cheri Arakul - 5'3", 110lbs, last seen Oct 1st, 1982. Can't find any other circumstances other than 'foul play is suspected'. Pretty far away from Galveston.

Judy Gifford - disapeared at 11 years old in'74 and I can't find any other circumstances really sad to see such a lack of information for a missing child. I DO think Judy as a child looks like the composite of this UID.


Catherine Frances Clampitt - 5'0", 95lbs, last seen June 15, 1987. Suspected victim of serial killer John Edward Robinson Sr. Although it says Catherine is Korean (Parabon results say ethnically Chinese), i think its worthy to note due to her close DOLC. Overland Park is about 12hr drive away from where UID was found.

I read about Clampitt yesterday and the con man/BDSM cassanova Robinson...The women trusted him and left their lives/families to work for him....From what I read I haven't figured out if his bus was in TX and/or KS at the time...She's a good possibility though...She was raised in TX...

A sad notice from her (half) brother on the thread of another Jane Doe. Judy Gifford is identified. So sad. CA - CA - San Francisco, AsianFem 1273UFCA, 15-25, buried at Lake Merced, Oct'76

Namus says 18-38, Parabon's poster says 15-25.
Per her other thread, one Rule Out back in June 2019 - MP17232 Yun Dainiak.

Since her head wasn't recovered the images are not necessarily reliable. And the status on Namus are different to those quoted in the 2016 article which was listed in the other thread: age 15-25 (Namus says 18-38). Article says between 110-150 pounds and 5'1 - 5'4 whereas Namus says 125lb/5'4. Galveston police use DNA to create composite of 1988 murder victim

As well as large Chinese migrant communities in the US there are many communities of Chinese throughout Asia (ie: Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia) so the name may not be traditionally Chinese.

With the younger age group mentioned in 2016 perhaps we should be looking younger:

Yim Eng was a kidnap victim in 1983 who was never released, though in NY so pretty far from TX, though perhaps if the UID was beheaded it was an organised crime message to her family/associates? According to Namus she was 5'4" and 130lb though older (43yo) when she went missing and suspects were arrested in her case The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) NY - NY - Yim Eng, 43, Hurley, 2 Oct 1983

Chiu Le Jean (45yo at the time she went missing) possibly too slight for this UID at 100lb The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Rita Navarra Stants (20yo when she went missing in 1983 from MS. Looks Chinese-Filipina from the photo rather than ethnic Filipina). Timing of the death may not fit, but there are no exact timings or locations in her case because she wasn't reported missing for many, many years The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
MS - MS - Rita Navarra Stants, 19, Gulfport, January 1, 1983

Sieu Trang was 13yo when she went missing from WA in 1982 which puts her in the target age range in 1988. She was much tinier than the estimated height in 1982 but would have grown in six years. So little information available on her, one wonders if she was a runaway or from foster care. Surely someone is missing her and searching? WA - WA - Sieu Trang, 13, Seattle, 3 April 1982

Bumping Galveston Jane Doe's thread with an odd suggestion: I found Elizabeth Campbell while browsing NamUs the other day, and the date and location "April 1988" and "Texas" made me look up GJD at once. Well, unless either Jane Doe or Elizabeth Campbell are listed with wrong dates, they can't be a match; GJD was found April 1st, and Elizabeth disappeared April 25th...

Ms. Campbell's biracial (White/Asian) while Jane Doe's DNA indicated that she's fully Chinese.

Another reason to rule her out, then
Hopefully, she can perhaps be matched to another Doe, @Melt71 ?
