Identified! TX - Potter Co, WhtFem 55UFTX, 16-30, along hwy, Oct'83 - Bambi Dick

Thank You all for your kind words and thoughts of Bambi today and everyday. Yes knowing that maybe she is with some of those kind people who did so much for her after her death makes it just a little easier knowing she's there with them.People in Amarillo Texas are all Angel's. This morning Jan Duke the attorney general there went to Bambi's grave for us to place flowers for her for her 45th birthday. This has ment so much to us for we are so far away and are unable to do this ourselfs. When we first found out this Jane Doe was our Bambi her Mom and Dad made a tough decision not to disrupt her finally sleep. They chose to leave her there for they felt she had been with Amarillo longer then what time she was with them. They felt Amarillo had shown her so much love and kindness they felt she was in good hands down there. They were right. Everyone there has gone up and beyond helping. We are so grateful to all the people of Amarillo and pray the Good Lord watches over all of them for the kindness they have shown to someone they never even new. God Bless you all for your kind thoughts and prayers. Bambi will always be in our hearts and prayers. We appreciate knowing that others out there can feel our pain and want what we want. Justice for Bambi. Thank You all again very much. Love from Lorie and Paul
 
Bambi Lynn Dick, 17, of Davenport

Bambi Lynn Dick, 17, of Davenport, never returned home from a Quiet Riot concert on Sept. 28, 1983, at the Col Ballroom, Davenport.

In 2009, law enforcement officials in Amarillo, Texas, contacted police in Davenport and, some days later, a DNA test confirmed that Bambi Lynn Dick was the name of the young woman who had been found outside of Amarillo in 1983 and who the community had buried as Jane Doe.

The body of the Davenport West High School senior had been found by a biker 10 days after the concert, stuffed in a culvert. She had been strangled with a rope from behind. She was not sexually assaulted and did not have any drugs or alcohol in her system.

The connection in the case was made when Dick's brother posted a description of her on the North American Missing Persons Network in February 2009, and a woman called the Amarillo Special Crimes Unit with a possible match she saw on a blog on The Doe Network's Web site.

No one has ever been charged in the teen's death.

Curious to know how the family is doing and if this case is still open with the Amarillo PD... RIP Bambi.
 
Bumping. This young girl shares some similarities with the recently identified Walker County Jane Doe now identified as Sherri Ann Jarvis born March 1966 and found murdered in Texas on 11/1/1980. Both girls were from out of state and died by strangulation. Is it true there is a suspect (now deceased) believed to be responsible for Bambi's murder?
