I thought this was interesting:

http://www.smdailyjournal.com/article_preview.php?id=68330

Found in June (?2006)
Believed to be 33-46 years old. Had used false name previously when arrested. Found deceased in tent with Bibles, Busy Women's Journal, and Harry Potter book. On tent was "No go, no eat, no drink, murder" written in tape.
 
That is interesting. My first impression is that she might have suffered from a serious mental illness. Was the cause of death listed, or did I miss it?
 
i was wondering that too.. why it didn't say a cause of death. has she already been checked against children missing from the 1970's, or teenagers missing from the 80's, and 20-somethings missing from the 90's?
also why was she arrested before-- for vagrancy, prostitution, drugs, or something else? she does appear to have that shell-shocked look that often comes with mental illess, and the weird words spelled out in tape supports that possibility. did an autopsy show any signs or traces of antipsychotic meds... or was she checked against any psych hospital records? do they even bother to do autopsies on unID'd homeless people?
 
Her eyebrows look perfectly plucked in that picture. What homeless, crazy person plucks their eyebrows regularly?
 
OK- a few things I found in a Louisville Courier-Journal article:
1. The woman was arrested for walking along the expressway "acting erratically". When booked, she said she came from Louisville, KY.

2. Her body was badly decomposed, and they couldn't determine a cause of death. However, they don't see any signs of trauma and some of the woman's writings indicate that she intended to starve herself to death.

Very confusing case!

If she was schizophrenic, she could have been compulsive about some things, like keeping up her eyebrows. I did a clinical practicum with chronic schizophrenics while in college, and you just never knew. In the mental health center, of course they would not have had access to something potentially dangerous like tweezers, but obviously living on the street she was unchecked if indeed she had something like schizophrenia. She'd be the right age for schizophrenia...it often appears in the mid-20s or so.

I'm guessing that the photo was her booking picture from before, since they are assuming that the fingerprints were hers.
 
What a sad, sad case. I know there are MANY people with mental disorders that are alone on the streets and homeless. I hope her identity is found, and if she has family, they can have closure.

:waitasec: I wonder why they haven't listed the clothes Jane Doe was found wearing.
 
The only problem with Melody Glynnell matching is that she was last seen in 2006, and this body is from 2005. Sorry!
 
Not sure I read the article right but wasn't her body found in June 2006? This would match the previous description above...

I was thinking Jane Doe was found June 06 as well. However, the link to the second article above somewhere (now archived, buy only) mentioned that she was picked up in January 06 for jaywalking or something and acting strange. I'm pretty sure it was Jan. This woman didn't go missing until may 06.

I could have my info wrong.

Wonder why this doe is not listed on the Doenetwork? Or is she?
 
Well, I've done a little google research.

Only one article states, that she was arrest on Jan, 20 2006.

http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4176/is_20061230/ai_n17088932

The others say she gave her birthdate as Jan, 20 1960.

Although this is the first date to think of, if you have to provide a false birthdate on Jan, 20 (She also said her familyname was Smith), couldn't it be that the journalists just mixed up two things when they wrote she was arrested on Jan, 20?

And who says that she didn't return to her normal life for some months after being arrested? And then vanished to die in May 2006?

anything is possible, but the Jane Doe body was suspected of being there, deceased, for about three months (from the article in your link) which puts her death march/april - before Melody went missing. I just don't think the timeline is there for it to be Melody.
 
was just checking to see if anyone had any new information?? to see if the 2 ladies was a match??? I think they look so much alike but still unsure


But while thumbing for something else I found a missing lady from the 80's so was wondering what others thoughts were on it...

Age and height do match but it seems to me that facial features are too different to belong to the same person, even when taking aging into account. Jane Doe has a square jaw while Erica's face is more triangular, with high cheekbones. Erica's eyes appear to be more widely set as well. I could be wrong though.
 
Huh... this is an interesting one, for sure!

I can't decide if her eyes look really high or deranged. Perhaps even both?!
