Alot of folks in the US got the small pox vacine in the leg.
It looks like Canadians small pox vac's from the 50's/60's would have been done in the thigh, (the one's that leave the scar) ours were usually done in the arm.
I'm having a difficult time trying to pinpoint where these JD was found. I can't come up with the same coordinates listed above, anyone else?
Again though, that might be indicative that the victim was either at the older end of the age range, or not from the US.
If the last mass immunization against smallpox took place within a three-week period in 1947, the victim must have either been at least 20 years old (and she looks as though she could be) or not from the US.
In Canada, the general population was provided with vaccinations until 1972.
Margot- excellent points. Revolutionary Road was the first thing I thought of when I read that her procedure was chemical. All the necessary items needed for that type of abortion could be easily obtained.
The reason I think that someone else was involved is because of the timing of everything. When our Doe was found she was just hours post mortem. Since we're going on the assumption that she was from out of state, there's not a large window of time for someone to discover her, put her body in a laundry basket, load her into a car, drive her to Delaware, dump her, and leave the scene if they weren't at least *present* during the procedure.
Of course, someone might have happened on her just minutes after her death, taken a look at the tubing and other items, realized what happened, and decided to dispose of her body. I just think it's a little more likely that someone was assisting or at least present.
Regardless of who performed the procedure that killed her, someone dumped her mostly nude body in a bag on the side of a road and robbed her of an identity for more than 4 decades. I'd love to know who she is.
Billylee, does Mr. Brown have any more info about the laundry bag? I'm assuming it was pretty non-descript or else there would have been some pics on NamUs, but it's worth a try.
Anything is possible. This JD deserves a name. No matter who did the botched abortion, a laundry bag, side of the road trash dump is an unacceptable burial. And Glenda deserves a proper burial also.
Thank God, we have a Medical Examiner who gives a damn.
Im just curious about this, if a woman is already pregnant at the time of her death, can you tell if she has previously given birth before...besides caesarion scars? Or when they do an autopsy? I think I vaguely recollect that it has something to do with the way the cervix looks upon examination. Anyway, does anyone know if she had previously given birth before or not?
Thanks
