New to NamUs: Kimberly Marshall missing since March 2017

By: Shane Lambert

 Kimberly Marshall was last seen on March 17th, 2017. However, she was only recently added to NamUs, America's missing-person database. She is from Smith County, Texas and her NamUs profile was added on September 26th, 2017 (NamUs MP # 39986). Her NamUs pictures are below.



Vital details:
  • She was 31 years old when she went missing
  • Her height is 61 inches to 65 inches (5'1" to 5'5")
  • Her weight is listed as between 100 to 105 pounds
  • Brown eyes, brown hair
  • She was last seen in Tyler, Texas. According to NamUS: "Marshall is last known to have spent one night at the Salvation Army and has not contacted family since."
The Facebook page for the Salvation Army in Tyler, Texas lists an address as follows:

633 N Broadway Ave
Tyler, Texas
  • "Cuts/scars to wrists and arms. Large scar on back beneath shoulder blades."
  • Dental information is available
  • DNA is available, but tests not complete at time of writing
  • Fingerprints available

Commentary:
  • I had difficulty finding a news article or report about her
  • Contacted friends and family through social networking to see if they had anything to add
  • There was a five-month interval between her last-seen date and the NamUs profile posting date
September 29th, 2017 update:
  • Discovered NamUs UP #17054 as a potential match
  • That UP was found in September 2017 in OKC, having laid dead since early in the year (about six months); height is a little off, but MP Kimberly Marshall would be closest MP to the UP that matches in other ways; both have DNA in preliminary stages so if it is a match they will be matched up likely by CODIS

    This seems pretty spot on for region, body stats, sketch, etc. Doe had a semicolon tattoo on wrist but given that tattoos association with depression and suicide, and the scars mention in Kimberley’s profile, I feel strongly that this may be her.

      I don't see the composite sketch as resembling the MP. Also, I don't really understand the connection you are making between the MP's scars and the Doe's tattoos.

Missing Kids and Their Bicycles - Cases of Dario Cicolecchia, Janice Pockett, and Others

By: Shane Lambert Season 2 of the hit TV show Forensic Files  included an episode (Episode 12) that contained information that those that work on missing person's cases should note. The episodes tell of the missing person's case of Dario Cicolecchia, a boy in Switzerland who went missing in 1993. Importantly, this boy was found, his murderer was apprehended, and this murderer also made statements to the police about how he operated. I think there's a nugget of information that's worth extracting from this and using as food for thought in similar cases. Dario went missing after departing his home on a bicycle to go fishing. He was later found dead and mutilated in a Swiss cornfield. Forensic Medicine, the branch of forensics that deals with the body, was used in this case and it was discovered that the boy had been drowned. In the water in the boy's lungs, investigators found diatoms, which are simple one-cell organisms that are only found in water.  They
