THE WALKER COUNTY JANE DOE CASE REACHES A SAD MILESTONE (READ AND SHARE)

    On Saturday, November 1st, 1980, at six o'clock in the morning,  a truck driver was on a routine trip down I-45 near Huntsville, Texas when he spotted what appeared to be a human body lying near a ditch. Like other motorists before him, he assumed it to be a prop from the previous night's Halloween festivities. But there had been a recent number of murders tied to itinerant truck drivers, and President Carter issued a plea to American truckers to be extra vigilant. What the driver found was the beaten and strangled body of a young woman. Subsequent investigation found that she had been seen in Huntsville the day before, asking directions. She was never officially identified, nor have her killers been charged. 


  With advances in forensic technology, public pressure forced reopening of the case in 2015. Some Internet figures launched a huge publicity campaign in 2018 to bring public attention to the case. A friend of the blog who volunteers on cases like these, brought it to our attention. We formed a small group of specialists to see if we could lend insights into the matter. Our goal was to see the case closed and justice done before the 40th Anniversary of the girl's death, but sadly we didn't achieve that, though we've made considerable progress. 

  


   There was no word on the 'progress' of this case, however, from the authorities in Walker County and hasn't been since the grossly incompetent Detective Thomas Bean was assigned to it in 2017. In fact, as this investigation has worn on, it has become unfortunately apparent that the Walker County authorities' combined negligence, indifference, probable corruption, and sheer stupidity are the greatest hindrances to a resolution in the case. Hence we decided to work without their 'cooperation', in fact we regard their position in the investigation as adversarial. 


   During the course of our investigation, we've established some contacts within Huntsville, Texas: many of whom know the three idiots pictured above personally, and they've confirmed some of our worst suspicions about them. In fact, I'm of the personal opinion that authorities in Walker County and 'others' elsewhere both know and have known all about this case since 1980 but for various reasons have preferred to keep it behind the curtain. 

  Which brings us to the next point. We believe that there is now sufficient evidence to make their misdeeds public (i.e. in a Court of Law) and several liable parties to this case may---if all goes as planned---find themselves facing charges before very long. In case trolls from Walker County's local government are reading this and decide to start destroying evidence, don't bother. We've been ten steps ahead of you for some time; and Judge Pierce---you old poltroon--- and Sheriff McRae--- you disgusting little maggot--- will hopefully be taught that the World is a bigger place than your private fiefdom in and about the hamlet of Huntsville. 


    As far as progress in the case goes, we've made some gains in 2020. For legal reasons, there are some personal details which can't be disclosed (yet). Last year, we found some very strong circumstantial evidence pointing to the girl's killers. One is dead; the other currently imprisoned for other crimes. Some of the things we've learned since have strengthened this belief. However, please understand that we can't come out with a formal accusation since conclusive proof is under protected medical information. If a competent law enforcement agency were on the job, the theory could be confirmed or ruled out. The Walker County Sheriff, incidentally, has been informed of these men's identity through multiple parties but have taken no action on it whatsoever. 

  Our biggest hopeful sign this year has come with a possible identification for the victim. After a public tips about a teenage runaway in a motel and another about a sighting at Rebekah Home for Girls proved to be mistaken identities, we somewhat lucked into a tip from Aransas Pass, Texas that put a lot of dominoes in place. Again, for legal reasons, we can't make a name public, but we're working on getting a photograph. 


     These announcements aren't about blowing our own horns, so to speak, but simply to reassure those few who still care about the case that it hasn't been forgotten. And we also hope to show that if we've made this kind of progress in two years using Century-old police techniques, then those modern departments with sophisticated technology and increased access to records ought to blush with shame at the fact that they've made no progress at all in over twice as much time. 

   What we can share publicly (based on our current theory) is this map of WCJD's probable whereabouts during the last two years of her life. Anybody from these areas please feel free to share. 



       Anyone from these areas who might remember anything, please get in touch in the comments below and we'll provide you with our contact info. Anonymity is totally respected. Also, anybody who's given tips to the useless Walker County Sheriff and had them disregarded are encouraged to comment as well. We actually follow up on those things. 

     Thank you to everyone helping. Let's not let this get to a 41st Anniversary.

  1. Hmm. I saw a documentary recently about patents and a ring of judges and lawyers in Texas that were all corrupt and exploiting loopholes to make money.
    What is it with Texas...

    1. It goes back to the Civil War when the Confederates overthrew Sam Houston; then after the war the same officials dug themselves in power positions even deeper. In Walker County, the County Judge and the County Commissioner are the same position. Most small counties are like that: who's going to investigate the local government? Then the oil boom and the cattle barons came and caused a huge wealth disparity (think LBJ and the Bush Family). Even the Texas Rangers are riddled with PC Feminist and LGBT leaders so they've become weak.

      Just as an interesting side-note, the aforementioned Sam Houston and WCJD are buried in the same cemetery.

  2. WCJD was a beautiful lady and things like the Trans Doe people telling me I'm a bigot and "cissexist" for calling her a lady when it is obvious that despite her injuries she was a gorgeous little lady when she was alive mightily piss me off.

    1. Hi Hannah: I haven't heard anything about a 'trans-doe'; but people who use terms like 'cissexist' are fruitcakes to begin with. Let me know some more details about that, please.

      The fact that WCJD was such an attractive girl was an anomaly I noticed early on. It's human nature: people REMEMBER pretty girls. The last three witnesses who saw her alive described her in detail---and one of these was nearly 40 years later. How it could it be that NOBODY knew her? No friends, no family---not even acquaintances? No, it's not realistic. Either the people who knew her aren't talking or (more likely in this case) not being listened to.

    2. Thanks.

      Yeah, it's obvious from the photos of her that WCJD was a beautiful and gorgeous lady when alive and certainly would have been romantically, even sexually, targeted by boys almost as soon as she developed obvious signs of puberty.

    1. Are you referring to the motel photo? I'd like to talk with you some more about that: nightwind479 at yahoo.com

  4. Was Rosie M. Shlicker ever considered? Missing from Kansas City, MO since 1978 and was 20 at that time. That would have made our Doe a little older than previously thought. BUT I do think there is a resemblance. Also as of the last I read, Rosie was not in GEDS. Rosie DID have a tattoo on her buttock and a scar on her right hand. I didn't see either mentioned for WCJD, but that would make sense if not all of the details were released to the public for investigative reasons. Rosie was 5'6" and 120 lbs when she disappeared. She disappeared from Truman Medical Center and was never heard from again. I don't know what kind of services the center provided be it just medical or also mental. Makes sense though if she left a hospital unattended, no family to pick her up and she was over the age of 18, why she would say "Who cares" when asked about her family.

    1. I don't know if she's been considered or not, though I tend to doubt that she's WCJD---the eye color and hairstyles are also different. The police might have withheld details---they usually do---but Rosie had a scar on her hand and the police mentioned that WCJD had a scar near her eye; so it seems like they weren't concealing much of her physical details.

      Awhile back, a tip came to Carl Koppleman about a girl who was at a carnival in Aransas Pass; recently we got some information that's made that look like a promising lead. We've been trying to find some photos to see if they match.

    2. I knew it. When I saw the "daughter of carnival workers" comment on the Who Was WCJD FB page, the first thing I could think of was "oh, so THAT'S why she traveled so much and can't be found in any yearbooks. The woman (Theresa, I think?) seemed trustworthy, as she was the only one who didn't explicitly state she (or the friend of hers she was referring to) didn't remember WCJD's name. She even mentioned her possible last name and her mother's first. I hope this works out cause it's been too long. I've been following the case since 2018 and I would love to see her get her name back. Good job Eric, by the way, you're definitely more competent than the WCPD morons
