I wish I could read that book. I bet is it interesting. Who was this woman? Very, very intriguing (sp?).
I'd like to read it too

Hopefully they'll release the book in English- but then I have a feeling that 9x/10 that possibility is somewhere between "could happen" and "nil"
 
Outofthedark,

Your signiture link for information on Lyle Stevik. Is there another thread for that one? I have a possible solution to that one.

I was looking at a case for a disturbed (social phobia) person who was suicidal from Jerome Idaho.

His case can be found http://www.doenetwork.us/cases/1819dmid.html (Patrick Beavers).

Some similarities stike me such as hair/eye color and age. While the height is bit off. Weight would be same if Patrick had lost 30-40 pounds as it is indicated that Lyle Stevik had. Patrick had left a "goodbye" note indicative of suicide and Lyle left a "for the room" note. Lyle was obviously a deep reader considering his name and Patrick enjoyed reading.

One thing that really struck me (besides the resemblance if you consider a weight loss) is that Lyle left an address to a motel of 1019 S. Progress Avenue, Meridian, Idaho. This would indicate a familiarity with Idaho (to come up with an existing address -- and then it happens to be a motel? He was found in a motel having committed suicide. What is more, Meridian is on the route to Amanda Park Washington if you were to take 84W from Jerome, it would go right through there.

Patrick also enjoyed hiking and Lyle was found in hiking boots. Washington is excellent hiking. There are more similarities you would see if you were familiar with the book from which he takes his name (You Must Remember This by Joyce Carol Oates).

Differences would be facial hair (could have shaved). Patrick also had light sensitivity and wore sunglasses often .. I see no mention of any being found at the scene where Lyle committed suicide.

If you look at the picture of Patrick on the right, you will notice he is wearing a tshirt and what appears to be a blue plaid shirt over it. This is what Lyle was wearing.

Probably a long shot but, are you familiar with the case and do you know if this possibility has been considered?

There is an article about 3 Doe cases that Det. Lane Youmans has been investigating and the "Lyle Stevik" case is one of them- "Lyle" did actually leave another note, but it was found with a crumpled up newspaper in a trash can and it had the word "suicide" written on it.

Concerning Lyle Stevik's race, I did some research on his eye color (which was hazel) and shortened it to two (because his race was listed White/Native and or possibly Hispanic) possible races- White and Biracial. If he is White, he could possibly be of European descent because hazel eyes are commonly found in middle European countries.

In Lyle Stevik's autopsy photos, you'll notice what appears to be really small facial hairs on his chin- I didn't notice them out of all the times I saw his autopsy photos...

Yes, this case is very interesting! I think there was a thread on her awhile back somewhere on here. We were hoping that the book written about her might have a translated edition so we could learn more. I've since forgotten about it but will have to remember to check it out after all the holiday craziness. Somebody remind me, okay?!? ;)
 
Hi, no , unfortunately not. There is no english version, but of course the book really may have an english-spoken life because of its international approach.
I should need som help then to launce that one. How do you know of the book?
Tore
 
Well, I stumbled across the story on a website, www.doenetwork.com , and they linked me to your book. However, it is not in English. I then Googled the story, but it appears that you are the only one who has written a book about this! Such an intriguing story, I am surprised...

Oh well, keep me in the loop, on a mailing list or such, if you decide to print an English version.
***********************************************

that was the lest I heard of this...it was back in february, I had no idea there was a thread for her on here until now...
 
This is very intriguing. If they know she stayed at the hotel with the Italian photographer, Trimboli, surely they interviewed him trying to find out if he knew who she really was.
