Bumping for princess blue, it's been a year since anyone has posted. Did this case go anywhere? I've skipped through the earlier threads and with everything this group was doing, I'm surprised to see this.
 
The ring says Robert E Lee HS Houston......


I am not sure about the colors of Lee HS in Houston, could the maroon and white have changed when the name changed? I thought the school colors for the class of 1975 Houston Robert E Lee HS were Black and gold. The pictures in the year book show their graduation gowns as gold. The Blue stone in the ring is dark like a sapphire, the birthstone for September. Could someone have chosen to opt for their birthstone instead of the school colors that were whatever they were at the time. I thought Birthstone so I went through the yearbook wrote down all the girls names that were pictured and not pictured from this class of 1975. With my genealogy research knowledge I made of list of the girls names and researched for vital information. Also was looking for those who had children maybe before and right after their 1975 graduation. Out of 320 girls graduating, I have found at least 16 girls that were pictured and 2 that were not, that I'm pretty confident were born in September. Out of the 16 pictured I found 2 that may look a lil like Princess Blue. About 53 of them I have found little to no information, this includes 14 that were not pictured. I will continue to research these names. Not sure if it would be okay to list and picture the total 71 or so girls I am researching. So I opted out of it and posted the link to the year book instead.

My thoughts are that, this girl was a daughter, or a niece to one of these Senior Females. Maybe a much younger sister. Who was either given the ring or she took it cause she liked it. Maybe she too attended school at this Robert E Lee HS now known as Lee HS. Or that maybe someone had a child young. Maybe she gave the daughter she had young up for adoption. Leaving the ring as a keeps sake? Just thoughts. I suppose the fact that she stole it or found it could be possible too.

I did find this other site. http://www.classringfinder.com I believe that princess blue's class ring is posted there. but you have to do your own search.

...snipped...

I went there and looked at the rings. Yes, Princess Blue's ring is there. I found it interesting that ALL the listings of the lost or found rings listed stone type by BIRTH MONTH. I seem to remember that "back in the day" kids would get a stone matching their birth month. Princess Blue's ring does not list the stone type, but I would gather it would be September - fire blue spinel. I wonder if a September birthdate for a 1975 female grad of Robert E. Lee hs could narrow the search...
 
I was wondering if Cynthia May Hernandez missing since 08/26/76 from Glendora, CA was ever considered.

On her left ring finger she had a white metal "love knot" ring. On her right hand, she wore a Charter Oak High School class ring for the class of 1976. "CMH" is engraved inside the class ring. She also carried a brown purse of patchwork vinyl squares laced together on the edges.

The Love Knot ring is what caught my eye along with the High School Ring.

Could it be possible she traded rings with someone, like a new boyfriend? I remember doing that when I was younger. Maybe a daughter of Cynthia?

Bumping

I drove past Lee High School the other day and Princess Blue has been in my thoughts ever since.
 
I would have thought with all of the pictures of the jewelry that she would have been identified a long time ago. So very sad this poor girl is unidentified. I didn't see any mention of her clothing. Did she not have any clothes or shoes when she was found?
 
I'm so new to this so please forgive me if this has already been looked into. Just poking through the different forums here and came across this which I read for a while before moving on to another which has a missing woman from the doe network who happened to go to Lee HS, and has been missing since 1980. Obviously not the same as this young lady but odd that she was a Lee HS student missing from that era. She graduated 78-79 but had siblings who the ring could have belonged to.

> but odd that she was a Lee HS student missing from that era.

Isn't that a different high school, most likely in Midland, Texas?
 
Guys, has anyone looked at Rosa Valentin? She's a little taller but the fact that she was wearing a unicorn necklace gives me pause. I don't know that we can just brush that off.
 
Princess Blue was found with a unicorn necklace not ring but I would agree everything should be considered. Also it is said the class ring was resized twice and would now fit someone around 175lbs unlike Rosa who was reportedly 115lbs. The locations are off too (CO vs TX) but anything is possible.
 
Anna T. Dimmitt looks very similar as far as facial structure goes. She is also listed as missing several teeth, and she has ties to Texas.
There isn't a lot of information about her or her disappearance. Her age is way off compared to Princess Blue, but she is also listed as only being 5'1"
I know ages can be off quite a bit sometimes. Perhaps because her height is so petite, the age estimation could be off? I think this could still be considered a potential match.
I submitted her to The Doe Network just in case. I couldn't find a profile for Anna in NamUs though. Does anyone know who could be contacted to get her added?

Anna does have dental records available for comparison.

Hi all,

I am sorry if I have missed anything. There is a lot to go over and remember! But this comment caught my eye as I too wondered about the clothes, does anyone know if clothes were mentioned?

Thank you.

Namus shows Princess Blue WAS found with a unicorn RING not a unicorn necklace.

Namus UP #989
 
She looks like Kimberly Shawn Cheatham on a quick glance. Time frame and height match.
 
I came across this case recently and noticed several similarities between Princess Blue and Christina Jeanette Chandler (missing from Fort Worth, TX; DOB 1/19/1961). Chandler is not on Princess Blue's NAMUS Exclusion List. AKA: Christina Janetta Zeger, Chrystal Chandler, Chris Zeger, Chrissy Chandler.
Chandler's NAMUS profile has a missing date of 1990 but stated they weren't certain of her date of disappearance and she received a citation dated August 4, 1990. Her Charley Project profile states, "Some agencies may state that Chandler disappeared sometime during 1989." Chandler's car was found in Lubbock, Texas in 1990.

Chandler's Similarities to Princess Blue:
- Chandler's height is 5'2"
- Chandler had a tattoo of a unicorn on her back and is known for wearing silver and turquoise jewelry. Princess Blue was found with a turquoise & silver/white-gold unicorn ring, silver scroll ring, and 2 thin silver/white-gold bands. Stephen Spignesi's blog, "Know What the Jeweler Knows" states: WHITE GOLD: White gold is the most popular "silver" metal. It's used primarily for rings, although you can also find chains, bracelets, and other pieces of jewelry in white gold if you look hard enough, or special order it.
- The Harris County Coroner's autopsy of Princess Blue, using the Universal Numbering System for dental notation, stated these findings: "There was a large caries on the buccal aspect in tooth 2 and tooth 5 was missing postmortem. Tooth 6 (upper right canine) had extensive caries at the mesial surface extending to the buccal surface as well as toward the lingual area. Tooth 10 was surgically absent and the corresponding alveolar space partially obliterated by mature bone." When you compare Princess Blue's dental findings to the color picture of Chandler I added below, there are similarities.

Wow! I'm new to this case but I think the odds that you've found the right person are high. The jewelry thing... It's not typical of women to like/wear turquoise jewelry. And also... the unicorn thing. The skeleton had a unicorn ring and Christina had a unicorn tattoo on her back. Brillant research, Dot#5t, whether it is her or not! Bravo!!

Probably a silly question - but have you contacted them to suggest this girl? I think your comparisons make it HIGHLY likely this could be Princess Blue! Great job!
