Hi there.. New member here.. Replying to Jack mostly...
I sent you an email at the Rock County address... Figured I'd reach out here, too...
I'm local to the area (Beloit) and know this area very well...
I first heard of this last year when NBC 15 did a 20 year anniversary story on it and thought "hmm", but soon forgot about it.
I happened to browse a missing Doe website and rediscovered our JCD here... I was only 11-12 when he died, but after rereading more info I got a weird feeling drawing me towards a friend of mine.
I read this whole thread and many others (reddit mainly) and got sucked in to our JCD...
As I read and read my thoughts kept drifting to an older friend of mine... Knowing she's a total metal-head and party goer...
Long story short, i asked if she was involved in the metal scene in 1994..she was.. I asked if she ever partied out at Carver-Roehl Park around that time.. She definitely did...
I then sent her the JCD poster reddit made and immediately she said it reminded her a lot of a guy she knew named Corey and ironically she lost contact with him around that same time...
She couldn't remember much more, but she's gonna continue to think on it and call me tomorrow (6/3) at noonish...
Clearly, it's a very slim chance here, but seems like this is currently the best news for this case... Likely nothing will come of it, but ya never know..
If you get this first please check your coroner email address and get back to me.. I'd like to chat...
Also, and even though it likely won't help ID JCD, I have a suicide theory that involves slitting the wrists or neck (and not damaging the bones) and discarding the knife in the vicinity.. Idk if a metal detector was ever used to sweep the area and the creek, but I'd like an opportunity to maybe meet up with you at some point and possibly comb the area again.. (if I'd be allowed to).. I also have many more questions, but they can wait until you reply.
This will likely amount to no new info, but I'd love to assist and hopefully try to ID this poor soul.
I'm at
Incubustaproot@yahoo.com if you'd prefer.. Thsnks in advance
