BMI means body mass index. It is meant to describe someone's healthy body weight relative to the individual's height. It is only food for thought because it does not account for all body types. The missing person was underweight by BMI standards at the time of her disappearance. Her BMI was 17.89 at the time of her disappearance.

Has Ashleigh Lee Louise Pettman been found?

The authorities remain active in searching for Ashleigh Lee Louis Pettman. For preliminary research on this case, I will be using bullet points and sources:

Global News, June 23rd, 2010
  • Called at "at-risk youth" and street person.
  • Disappearance not immediately reported.
If she was having trouble living at her grandparents after moving from Grand Prairie, then you have to wonder if she felt like she had nowhere to go. As a street person, she presumptively had limited means. If she decided to leave Kelowna, you have to wonder if she hitchhiked.

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 who work on missing person cases should note. The episode tells 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 case and using it as food for thought in similar cases. Dario Goes Missing 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...

Beverly Sharpman (NamUs MP #7034) - Case details

Image
By: Shane Lambert Tonight I looked at the mysterious case of Beverly Sharpman, an individual who was last seen on September 11th, 1947 in Philadelphia. NamUs has her listed as 16 years old at the time of her disappearance. However, all the newspaper articles I looked at indicated that she was 17 years old at the time. The case stands out to me because of the huge effort that individuals in Beverly's family made, especially her mother Nettie, in attempting to find her. Furthermore, I'm not convinced that Beverly Sharpman died at a time close to her disappearance. Lastly, I'm not convinced that the love that Beverly's family felt for her was entirely reciprocal. My opinion in this cloudy case is that Beverly disappeared voluntarily. Have a look at the photograph below. The face from this photograph is commonly used as the missing-person's photograph of Beverly. I think there might be a clue in the entire photo, a matter that I will return to. "Got m...
