Bradford Bishop and Trenny Gibson: Both Associated with Smoky Mountains National Park in 1976

Image
By: Shane Lambert Original time of writing: November 27th, 2024 I was reading about Bradford Bishop tonight, a man who spent a lot of time on the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted list. Bishop is no longer on this list but he was never apprehended. His age would be advanced now that there is a chance that he has passed away of natural causes.FBI images of Bishop are below, taken from their official website . In this article, I will associate Bradford Bishop's timeline with another unsolved mystery, that of Trenny Gibson, a teenager missing since 1976. I do this as food for thought as opposed to offering any kind of smoking-gun proof that the two cases should be associated. But I think the possibility that the cases are related cannot be ignored. Bishop allegedly killed five family members on March 1st, 1976. His vehicle was found later that month, on March 18th, in Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee. Bishop was considered an avid outdoorsman and both a camping and hiking enthus...

The Jane Doe is a white female adult in the pre-30s category. She was believed to be about 5'2" and 135 pounds by post-mortem measurements. She had black hair and is described as an unidentified female who was found in a wooded area.

I did find some journalism on what I believe to be this Jane Doe. She was found "in the Coyote Creek area," at least that's what a blurb in th...

Image
By: Shane Lambert #UP125443 is a Jane Doe that was recently added to the NamUs system. There is a big gap between the entry date and the date that this person was discovered. I did find some journalism coverage on the discovery of the body dating back to September 1989. Jane Doe. Madera County Jane Doe. There were not a lot of details available with the NamUs report. But this person was determined to be a female of an uncertain race. She was placed in the Adult Pre-40 category with journalism suggesting an age in her 20s. She had a weight of 130 to 135 pounds and she was between 4'8" and 5'2". Using the upper estimates, she would be upper normal on a lot of BMI scales.

NamUs says she had a condition called "Enamel hypoplasia," which is when enamel does not develop properly. Location of her body : About 10 m...

Lorree Lee Dennis -- Missing Since July 1984

Image
Details from a government source (might be paraphrased) : Lorree was last seen in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 22nd, 1984. She was a passenger in a maroon 1970 Ford station wagon. There was a storm and the driver tried to cross high water near the corner of East Washington Avenue and Lamb Boulevard when their vehicle flipped over and was swept away. In journalism, this water was called "6-foot wall of water." The driver was Stephen Jack House (which might be spelled Steven in media). He was located dead but Lorree Dennis has never been located. Journalism covering the event suggests that there was another person in the vehicle as well, however, this was later debunked. Steven Jack House and Lorree Lee Dennis were the only occupants of the vehicle.

NamUs #UP1234 (Attempt to Match) -- Unidentified Remains from December 15th, 1985

Image
By: Shane Lambert Unidentified Person : NamUs #UP1234 NamUs #UP1234 is a Jane Doe that hitchhikers discovered on December 15th, 1985. The journalism near the time of the discovery associated her with a series of bodies that were discovered in the area. She was the 5th body discovered in the area in 1985. According to NamUs, these were " Human remains...found in an isolated wooded area northeast of the intersection of Hollywood Blvd and Palm Bay Rd in West Melbourne, FL." Other sources also state that the remains were found near Dairy Road. NamUs, at the time of writing, lists the human remains as those of a male, however, I would suggest that the composite sketch depicts a female. Furthermore, the newspaper articles I reviewed considered the individual to be a Jane Doe instead of a John Doe. Newspaper coverage at about the time of the discovery One reference that I believe pertains to this Doe is from the December 30th, 1985 edition of Florida Today . That journalism by Micha...
