Missing Person Commentary

By: Shane Lambert Missing person Matthew Weaver I spoke online tonight with an individual (Matthew's ex-girlfriend) who was in charge of the Facebook group called "Help Find Matthew Weaver Jr." (October 7th, 2018). As a result of this online conversation, I wanted to add some details to his missing-person's case that might help the websleuths out there. Firstly, here are the details from NamUs where Matthew Weaver is #MP51786 .

By: Shane Lambert Original: October 2018 Update: February 4th, 2021 I researched the disappearance of Carmen Robinson tonight for a little while. I thought that I would do a bullet-point style summary of what I learned about her case from reading about her in online-newspaper databases. First, here are her important case details as per DoeNetwork : Missing since December 8th, 1973 (a Saturday) from Victoria, BC, Canada (on Vancouver Island) 17 years old at the time of her disappearance White female, blonde hair The night she went missing she worked at the Ingraham hotel as a dishwasher, boarded a bus home, got off the bus at West Burnside Road and Holland Avenue, and has not been seen since then (her home was two blocks away) Details I got from news coverage Known child-killer Clifford Olson is mentioned in conjunction with the disappearance; it is stated in an article that he was flown to Surrey "to provide clues on the 1973 murder of teenager Carmen Robinson&q

By: Shane Lambert Donella Jean Coultas was last seen on December 18th, 1979. NamUs offers some details of her description but nothing for circumstances. 29 years old at the time of the disappearance White female 5'7" 157 lbs Alias: Donna Schuman Last known location: South Pasadena Brown hair, short Blue eyes Contact lenses Pidgeon toed C-section scar on abdomen Mole above navel Buck teeth She was last known to be wearing a green top under a light-blue sweater and dark-blue pants with white tennis shoes I did not find much media coverage regarding Donella Jean Coultas. But I did find one article 11 months after her disappearance in The Desert Sun, a publication out of Palm Springs. Donna's mother was named "Mrs. Schuman" in the article which suggests the alias above is a maiden name. Donna's mother stated that she thought it was possible that Donna went to Palm Springs. But the big mystery with this missing person is why she would leave a

Kassandra Ramirez is a missing person that is new to NamUs . She was last seen on September 19th, 2018 in the Bronx, New York at 683 Melrose Avenue at around 11:40pm. Her vitals as of the 19th were as follows: 25 years old Hispanic/Latino female 5'2" to 5'3" 100 to 130 pounds Brown hair Brown eyes She was leaving her residence to meet with someone in front of her building. That individual says that Ramirez did not show up. She was last seen wearing the following: Blue jeans White blouse Grey hoodie Black sneakers Facebook questions with Kassandra's mother Kassandra's mother offered some information that wasn't on NamUs at time of writing. She said her daughter's middle name is Briana. Furthermore, Kassandra has tattoos and a birthmark (still trying to find locations of them). Additionally, she had a c-section and she has scars on her left pinky due to an injury. I spoke with other people that knew

By: Shane Lambert I was looking at NamUs #UP6040 today. She is an individual that was found dead on February 19th, 1971 in Lake Panasoffkee, Florida. Her NamUs vitals: Aged 17-24 White female Estimated to have died in 1971 within weeks of her discovery 5'3" 110 pounds Brown hair Eyes are probably brown She was found under the Lake Panasoffkee Bridge at Interstate 75. NamUs mentioned her clothing, which included green plaid pants and a poncho. Some details that websleuths should be aware of that you don't get from NamUs comes from the newspaper reporting of the day (Orlando Sentinel/Feb 21 1971/Page 66 unless otherwise noted): This woman was definitely thought to be a murder victim who was strangled with a belt (one article from Feb 22 1971 said she was found "with a belt tied around her neck" Sentinel Page 5) She may have been pregnant She was referred to as the "hippie-type" She was believed to have been thrown over the si

By: Shane Lambert The Original Time of Writing : October 1st, 2018 On October 1st, 2018 I took a look at the missing person's case of Ashley Fuller Reed ( NamUs #MP8602 ). I read over her case at NamUs and then used an online-newspaper database to look at the reporting from 1990 that covered her case. I feel that anyone websleuthing this case should know about details that I came across during this research. It's my opinion that NamUs doesn't provide enough information. Furthermore, I took a look at the greater region and a large time frame associated with this case. I've noted numerous cases of white females going missing from Texas after experiencing car troubles between 1988 and 1994. These cases may or may not be related. NamUs says that Reed was last heard from on January 15th, 1990, which was a holiday Monday (Martin Luther King Jr. Day). One newspaper article (El Paso Times/March 24th, 1990/page 13) contradicted that and said that she vanished on January 14
