Mae W. Gebhard, Missing Person -- ATTEMPT TO MATCH to Jane Doe

Image
Author : Shane Lambert Mae W. Gebhard has been missing since February 24th, 1981. Coincidentally, that's precisely 40 years prior to the date of this article's publication. I think there's a Jane Doe in the NamUs database that is a good candidate for comparison. This is an opinion that other members of Websleuths are aligned with. Importantly, neither the Jane Doe in question nor Mae W. Gebhard have any rule-outs listed. Gebhard's disappearance was covered in The San Francisco Examiner . On March 5th, 1981 I found news coverage of her disappearance. It said that she disappeared after a fight with her husband, that she left with 30 sleeping pills, no coat, and no money. Thu, Mar 5, 1981 – 21 ·  The San Francisco Examiner (San Francisco, California)  · Newspapers.com According to the profile  NamUs #MP17556 , Mae W. Gebhard's disappearance had the following details: She was 65 years old when she went missing She was last seen on February 24th, 1981 She is missing from

Looking Back at the Non-existent Missing Person Case of Carolyn Eaton

Image
Author: Shane Lambert On February 14th, 1982 a Department of Public Safety officer found a dead body roadside off of Interstate 40 in Arizona. It was Carolyn Eaton, a minor who had run away from home in December of 1981. It would take 39 years before she would be identified. Below is a snippet of the original journalism from the time. UID-AZ - #UP9864 - Valentine Sally Jane Doe - Williams, AZ - 14 Feb 1982  16 Feb 1982, Tue  Arizona Republic (Phoenix, Arizona)  Newspapers.com The Jane Doe had numerous profiles online and she was dubbed Valentine Sally. She was talked about extensively at her Websleuths.com forum. Honest attempts at naming her were made but they all failed until the individualization process known as DNA profiling zoomed in on her. There are probably hundreds if not thousands of Does that are waiting to be identified in the same way but the highly skilled labor that's required to perform the work only inches forward case by case. The lengthy process of identificati

Dorothy Forstein -- Missing Since 1949 From Philadelphia

Image
This is the description of the disappearance according to NamUs** :  "In 1945 Dorothy went shopping. She was seen returning home in the evening, and a neighbor thought 'someone was with her, or walking behind her.' Dorothy was attacked and nearly beaten to death. They never found who did it; robbery was not a motive, and (Dorothy's husband Jules) was ruled out as a suspect. Then, in 1950, Jules called his wife to tell him he was going to a political banquet. Dorothy seemed in good spirits. She said, "Don't forget to miss me!" before she hung up. When he returned home later that evening, his wife was gone. The eldest daughter was away from home, but the two younger children were found huddled together in a bedroom. None of Dorothy's personal belongings were missing and the front door was locked. The older of the two children at home that night (she would have been around 9 years old at that time) said she woke up and went to her mother's room. She

Thomas William Richey -- Missing From Fishing Trip Since 1950

Image
Details from NamUs** : "Thomas 'Tommy' Richey left home to go fishing on the Rogue River on July 11, 1950. He liked to fish in an area where there was a cable car above the river that you could move to the middle and fish from above. His fishing pole as well as several fish he caught were found inside the cable car. He has not been seen or heard from since that day. The cable car was braked in the middle of the river which is why it was presumed something happened causing him to fall or jump and ultimately drown. The cable car and fishing hole are located 4 miles outside Prospect, Oregon on Mill Creek Lane and 6 miles upriver from the Lost Creek Dam."

Cory Dale Moore -- Missing Person Found, A Case Study

Image
Author: Shane Lambert The case of Cory Dale Moore, someone who went missing in September 2020 and was found deceased in February 2021, is a case that people who look at missing person cases should be interested in. It's a case where an individual went missing, there were reports of heavy searching, and yet the discovery of his remains was more due to a chance event than formal searching. This was the case even though Moore was found just one-half mile from his last-known location. Cory Dale Moore went missing on September 3rd, 2020. The odd detail that was included in his case was that he seemed to have left without wearing any shoes. I wondered if he had a second pair as there was a question as to how far he could have gone without his footwear. As reported by Yahoo! News , his wallet and cell phone were missing and he didn't have a car (author: Andrea Cavallier). According to Yahoo: "The Lee County Sheriff’s Office launched a search in the surrounding area with crews, c
