Unidentified Female Found May 1950 in Bath (Berkeley Springs), WV - NamUs #UP10026 Case Details

Image
Unidentified Person / NamUs #UP10026 Female, White / Caucasian: Jane Doe Date Body Found: May 10th, 1950 (Wednesday) Location Found: Bath (Berkeley Springs), West Virginia. According to early journalism, she was found "along a little used road near the bridge which crosses the Potomac River of Hancock." She was found next to a ditch about 30 yards from the bridge. I think the Google Maps coordinates would be about  39.69214444454965, -78.1844344136343 , River Road would have been a "little used road" back then, I think.  She is barely across state lines between West Virginia and Maryland. That could mean whoever dumped her body did so in a way to try and get the wrong authorities to investigate. May 12th, 1950. Beckley Post-Herald County:  Morgan County Who found the body : Benjamin Miller of Hancock (his name is a good keyword to search to find early journalism) Estimated Age Range: 35-50 Years Birthdate Estimate: The person’s birthdate would fall between Ma...

Image
Missing Person : Sandra Faye Thompson Notes on the pictures : I have to say that these pictures do not look like the same person to me. I feel that way even if the black and white photo is from high school and the color photo is up to eight years later. However, there are no notes at NamUs suggesting that they are different people. The details for the case are sparse as well. Details from a government source (might be paraphrased) : Sandra was last seen in Florida on July 2nd, 1984. Last contact : July 2nd, 1984 (Monday) Last location : Jacksonville, Florida Age when Sandra Faye Thompson disappeared : 26 Date of birth : February 13th, 1958 Sex : Female Height in inches : 65 (approximation, often averaged from ranges) Weight in pounds (lbs) : 100 (approximation, often averaged from ranges) BMI : 16.6 - Underweight (calculated to help picture what Sandra might have looked like) Ethn...

The Average Missing Person Case According to AI: Insights from My Blog

Image
What AI Thinks is the 'Average Missing Person Case' After Analyzing My Blog The Following is NOT a True Case of a Missing Person. Rather, it is content generated mainly by Grok, X's artificial intelligence. I uploaded numerous cases from this site and asked Grok to produce an average case. I did take some personal liberties in editing what it spat out. My own comments appear in hard brackets [like this]. Also, I inserted some sentences myself. I would say that this sounds a bit humorous at times. But there is something to learn from it as well. - Shane Lambert --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Disappearance of Alexis Z. Harper: Missing Since 1985 (FICTION) On a quiet evening in the late summer of 1985, 18-year-old Alexis Z. Harper vanished without a trace, ...

Christi Jo Nichols: Vanished December 10, 1987 - Unsolved Mysteries Case Still Haunts Nebraska

Image
Missing Person : Christi Jo Nichols Details from a government source (might be paraphrased) : Nichols, a mother of two small children, was last seen alive on December 10th, 1987, at her home in Gothenburg. Her husband reported her missing the next day, and she has never been seen since.  The Nebraska State Patrol investigated the case and the family hired a private detective to no avail.  Although authorities suspect Christi Jo Nichols is dead, her body never has been found. At first, police handled the disappearance as a missing persons case, but as time progressed, it evolved into suspicion of murder. An investigation revealed traces of Christi's blood in the couple's house and in the husband's car. Recent DNA tests have proved that the blood found was indeed Christi's. Her suitcase, along with her purse, was found at a rest stop near Maxwell in 1988. Christi was in an abusive relationship and had been treated in an emergency room for injuries weeks before she dis...
