I think the family is implying in the obituary that, given the choice, they wouldn't have taken her to a fishing excursion around water but didn't have respite care to watch her, or perhaps wished she had a care worker who could have stayed on the dock with her while the family went out.

Awesome work! I believe you also created the new reconstruction for Vancouver Spanish Banks Jane Doe? Very lifelike and sure to generate more memory recall than the 2D drawings. Just out of curiosity, what's your process? Do you use a program that has pre-rendered base models and then tweak the...

Spanish Banks Jane Doe has a new facial reconstruction! Canada's Missing | Case details

I think this would be a good case for RCMP anthropology to revisit now that 30 years have passed. If long bones were found then a rough estimate of a height could be given. If the skull was found then the race may be tentatively identified. If teeth were included then a statement of dental work...

https://www.services.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/missing-disparus/case-dossier.jsf?case=2014005066&id=4&lang=en James Turnball/Turnbull was last seen on ferry going from Nanaimo -> Vancouver in '66. He was known to have a Timex watch with a leather strap (UID has Timex watch with fabric strap) and a black...

I'm very surprised that no one in the hotel heard (or at least heard and reported) two concurrent gunshots, given how close rooms are to each other and how poorly hotels are soundproofed. Of course it has happened before (does anyone remember the case of Greg Fleniken?) but I can't imagine it...

I agree; her postmortem levels were only around 0.15 (with the caveat that postmortem levels may not totally represent antemortem levels), so about twice over the driving limit. You may feel loopy and disinhibited at a 0.15, but i don't think any of us would wander into random stores and fall...

the recon looks to have a bit of strabismus (i.e. wall-eyed) but given the remains were skeletal i think thats just accidental. The eyes are interesting... kind of has a bit of an epicanthic fold that gives a unique look. wonder if this is based on the unknown part of the ethnicity.

This is such a headscratcher, especially because we know there was video footage (either from cellphone from family/victim or CCTV at the dollar tree, i dont believe it was released), theyve somehow ruled out mental illness (im guessing completely normal MH history and acting normally prior to...

This may sound crazy, but I'd glad to see a MOD that is "homicide" rather than "undetermined" or "pending", and I'm glad to see that the other documents are still sealed, because this gives me hope that LE is still working on this case.

Don't bother waiting 😅 What they were willing to release was very, very short. it's a single page with the header "Southwest Institute of Forensic Sciences At Dallas" that gives a case number, name of decent, DOD, DOB, the pathologist responsible, and "the cause of death is: homicidal...

Wow...just wow. My FOIA request came through (mods, this is now public info available online via muckrock so I believe I am able to share freely as it is not behind a paywall or otherwise) and while I dont have access to the complete autopsy report, his COD is homicidal violence. This is a...

with foul play suspected (and id have to agree because i dont think anyone would kill their dog!), the arson draws attention to the scene and allows people to realize Eli was missing relatively early, so I'd have to think that the scene contained physical evidence (indicating violence against...

oh dont get me wrong the whole situation is very, very weird... nothing about this case is easily categorizable, and theres a ton of information that doesnt seem to align with any one scenario/COD. if i had to divide up all the info, id only say suicide fits 50% of the known circumstances?? but...

i dont want to be too graphic or anything but drowning is a painful death and its hard to drown oneself if you know how to swim and aren't weighed down (instincts would take over)...death from a very high fall is much less painful for less time and nearly guaranteed :/

i know the official ruling is accidental but going out of ones way + a climb uphill + death from height = my first instinct is to think suicide.

Animal predation usually begins in areas where the tissue is easier to breach and mucosa is present (nose and mouth, eyeballs, anus, etc).. it would be unusual for animal predation to start at a stomach which is rounded and has thick tough skin, and no open areas that attract scavengers. Holding...

Lorton and Baltimore are a ~75 min drive from each other. Very similar cheekbones, nose width, nasal bridge, and jawline (ie things that would be visible on skeletal remains). Timeline is spot on. I'm on mobile so I cant check the UIDs ruleouts but if not on the list I'd say yes 100% submit a tip !!

i have autopsy experience, limited forensic experience, and no experience with death from chloroform, so i cant offer expert opinion but im definitely interested. did a quick medical journal search just to get some scientific background on such cases... (x) something i would hope (and have to...

Rest in peace Krystian! So sad to pass so far from home. Factoring in the weight gain (170 -> 270 lbs estimated, seems excessive, perhaps he weighed more when he left poland) the facial composite is actually very good, especially with the low brow ridge and wide nose, considering the remains...
