This is a missing-person's case that will be fairly well known to websleuths and those familiar with unsolved mysteries in the United States. Kamahele has been included in the often-discussed Santa Rosa Hitchhiker Murders from several decades ago. I won't review the details of her case too much because they have been covered.

By: Shane Lambert Shani Ann Estes has been missing since 2005, that much is clear. However, there is some contradictory information out there from governmental sources as to the date she was last seen. NamUs ( she's MP#1204 ) says she was last seen on November 24th, 2005. The State of California's Department of Justice's website says she was last seen on December 7th, 2005. Regardless, there's reason to consider her as a match to UP#5963 .

The distance between where Shani was last seen and this apartment is about 290 miles in the same state of California.  The time elapsed between the date of...

By: Shane Lambert I spent some time reading about two cases of unidentified people tonight, cases from January of 2003. The cases may be related although NamUs does not connect them. They are  NamUs UP#13280 and UP#13278 . The former was found in Imperial County on January 2nd, 2003 and believed to be dead for five months. The latter was found in the same county on January 7th, 2003 and also believed to be dead for five months. The zip codes associated with the deaths are about 9.4 miles apart according to Google Maps. Both decedents were described as being found in the "open desert." UP#13280 was found near a jacket that had The Master Palette logo on it. Anyone working on this case may want to know that the logo is associated with Glidden Professional, a paint company. The first snippet below shows the logo on the decedent's jacket while the second snippet shows the logo inset into a website (webpage was active at time of writing). They are remarkably similar. ...
