Elizabeth Gamblin, Missing Person -- NamUS #MP76254

By: Shane Lambert

Time of writing: December 10th, 2020

Elizabeth Gamblin, at the time of writing, has a fairly new profile at NamUs. The website says that she went missing on June 28th, 2020. Her case was uploaded on December 8th, 2020, making for just over a five-month interval. There are some details to reconcile between two sources on this case.

Firstly, Gamblin's vitals are as follows:

  • Female
  • Caucasian
  • Brown hair
  • Green eyes
  • 27 years old when she went missing
  • 5'6" to 5'8"
  • 85-95 pounds
For circumstances, NamUs states the following:

"Boyfriend of missing stated Ms. Gamblin left for home on foot headed East on Manship Drive wearing a gray shirt and blue jeans. She stated she was going to a friends house, she did not give the friends name or address. She hasn't been seen or heard from since" <sic>.

The address in Jackson, Mississippi that she went missing from can be taken from another source. The missing person's poster for Gamblin at the Jackson Police Department lists a "missing from" address of  927 Manship Drive. Importantly, this poster states that Gamblin went missing on July 4th, 2020, which would have been Independence Doe. That contradicted NamUs's last seen date of June 28th, 2020. In truth, either time could be erroneous.

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
