Becky Jane Williams Missing 10-1-06

Update: May 2009 - Still Missing

Becky’s story is like so many others. She was a grown woman trying to find happiness and love. This quest led her to an involvement with a man her family did not approve of and a life they would never have wanted for her. It was a life she was trying to improve when she was reported missing.

The “Boyfriend” reported her missing. He told investigators, “She left walking. She was going to church. She never returned.”

The “Boyfriend”, was no stranger to Midland Police and was on probation at the time Becky disappeared. He has since violated his parole. During the investigation he was ask if he would be willing to take a lie detector test. He said yes, but shortly afterwards changed his mind. He called Becky’s family less than two weeks after her disappearance asking if they wanted to have a memorial service for her. Did he already know Becky would not be coming home?

Becky's family wants and needs your help. If you have any information on Becky's disappearance... even if it's something you think isn't that important. It may be the one piece investigators are waiting for.

Kent Jacobs… Missing March 10, 2002



The last time Kent’s Mother saw him was on Sunday March 10, 2002. He peeked in on her in the den. Shortly after that he left the family home to visit his old neighborhood, approx. two miles away. This was something Kent enjoyed and had done for the past 25 years.

He was last seen at 5:00 p.m. that Sunday, wearing a Harley-Davidson sweatshirt, blue jeans and black Reebok sneakers in the Colonial Heights area of Hope Mills, North Carolina.

When he did not meet his 5:00-6:00 p.m. curfew. His mother, after speaking with her daughter in Seattle, contacted authorities. Kent's younger sister knew that something was terribly wrong! Her brother had a routine and that routine was disrupted. He had never been late for curfew.

Kent has mental retardation and would not have the intellectual capacity to initially sense danger.

The authorities have been searching for Kent, but continue to hit dead ends. He disappeared only a few yards from Interstate 95, which is a major interstate that stretches from New York to Florida.

Kent was last seen wearing a Harley-Davidson sweatshirt, blue jeans and black Reebok

Dori Ann Myers - Missing Jan. 10, 2006



Dori has been missing since the night of Jan. 10, 2006. Her credit cards, bank accounts and passport have not been used since her disappearance. Having a good heart may have led to her disappearance. Her case remains unsolved.

Her family is seeking your help. Her sister, Donajean, has created a love filled web site with photos, information and updates. Please visit the site and read about Dori… it will touch your heart and make you so damn angry, all at the same time.

Dori was last seen leaving the St. Lucie Inn, a local nightspot where she spent some of her free time with friends. Before leaving she told a friend that she was taking two men (who claimed to be U.S. Marines) back to her home in St. Lucie County because they had nowhere else to stay.

The last person known to speak with Dori was an ex-boyfriend who called her home around 9:30 that night. After he heard voices in the background… Dori told him the men were Marines who had been wounded in the Iraqi War, they didn’t have anywhere to stay and that she'd invited them to stay the night in her home. She stated one man was going to sleep on the sofa bed and the other man would sleep on the couch.

Neighbors later reported to investigators… they heard what sounded like an argument resonating from Dori’s house at around midnight but did not call police. At approximately 3:00 a.m. Dori’s house was in flames. The fire department determined that the fire was arson.

Dori’s black 1998 Toyota Corolla was seen pulling out of the driveway at the time of the fire. The car was found some 80 miles away in a remote area of Glades County, completely destroyed by fire.

The Suspects:
One man is described as Caucasian, about 25-35-years-old, tall, weighing about 175-200 lbs., wearing a ball cap, with a stud earring in his left ear. The second man is described as having a darker complexion than the first man, and may be an American Indian or Hispanic.

Vitals at Time of Disappearance:

Missing Since: January 10, 2006 from Veer Beach, Florida
Date of Birth: March 9, 1962
Age: 44 years old
Height and Weight: 5'2 - 5'3, 110 - 115 pounds

Jane Doe - San Mateo County, California


Authorities found this unidentified woman on June 6, 2006 inside a tent along a service trail south of San Pedro Avenue, just off of Highway 1 in Pacifica in San Mateo County California. The tent contained many books, including two Bibles with several scriptures noted, a “Busy Women’s Journal” and Harry Potter.



Dental work is all the San Mateo County Coroner’s Office has to determine her identity.

The woman is believed to be in her 40s. An anthropology report places her age between 33 years old and 46 years old. A dental report estimates her age anywhere from 25 years old to 40 years old. She weighed approximately 130 pounds and was between 5 feet 4 inches tall and 5 feet 6 inches tall. She had brown, straight and stringy hair with gray streaks. Yellowing of the cranial bones suggest possible tetracycline therapy for acne.

Her body was badly decomposed, and they couldn't determine a cause of death. There were no signs of trauma and some of the woman's writings indicate that she intended to starve herself to death.

Her fingerprints were run and they revealed her picture, a name, date of birth and place of birth. It was all fake.

At one time she had been booked into San Mateo County Jail by the California Highway Patrol. The problem is when she was booked in she gave a false name. She said she was Sam Smith. The woman gave a date of birth of Jan. 20, 1960 with a birthplace of Louisville, Ky. The Coroner’s Office did not find any record of a Sam Smith matching her description in Jefferson County, Ky.

The only thing the Coroner’s Office knows for certain is the woman once received high-quality dental work. The Coroner’s Office is hoping a dentist somewhere may recognize her face and remember performing the work, Gamble said.

She was wearing: Gray colored fleece jacket with zipper (LL bean's men XL) Navy blue nylon/Dacron pants (Cherokee XL) Dark blue pants with waist snap/ Drawstring (Merona M)

Anyone with information about this woman should contact Senior Deputy Coroner Kristine Gamble with the San Mateo County Coroner’s Office at (650) 312-5562.

America’s Most Wanted ~ Boulder Jane Doe Story to air Saturday July 8th, 2006

On April 8,1954 two University of Colorado students discovered the naked body of a young woman on the rocky edge of Boulder Creek. A compassionate community raised the funds for her funeral and buried her under a stone that read "Jane Doe, April 1954, age about 20 years." She has never been identified, and her murderer has never been found.

Finally, after months and months of delays, "America's Most Wanted" will air its segment on Boulder Jane Doe on Fox TV, Saturday July 8th. We are hoping this national TV exposure will bring in some leads to this very cold case.

Congratulations to Silvia Pettem and the Boulder Jane Doe Gang!

Samatha Baremore ~ Law Enforcement Steps Up Investigation!

I have been working most of the morning on getting Samatha listed with missing persons organizations and web sites...

Another article appeared today in the Winston Salem Journal

Portion of article below:

Since the story appeared in the Journal, police have ramped up their efforts to solve the case. "We've put all our resources into it, and we've just recently assigned an additional detective to assist the detective who originally had the case," said Assistant Chief Louis Saunders, who heads up the department's investigations units.

Police should tell the family as much as they can about the case, as well as what measures they're taking to solve it. And anyone with information about what happened to Baremore should call Crime Stoppers at 727-2800 or detectives at 773-7716.

Remembering Sherri Lee Truesdale ~ Missing since 1970

Sherri Lee Truesdale went missing June 13, 1970 from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She left her home on Pitt Street in Winston-Salem at 11:30 a.m. and rode the bus to the mall. Truesdale never returned to her family's residence and has not been heard from again.

Sherri was described as a quiet, studious girl. She had won a scholarship to attend a summer fine-arts program at Mount Tabor High School and one of the reasons she went to the mall was to buy school supplies. She also planned to buy donuts for her older sister and make payments on her mother's charge account at Rayless Department Store. She was last seen by a clerk at the department store at 4:30 p.m.

Sherri’s parents reported her missing June 14, the day after she went missing. When she did not come home they spent the night searching for her. After not being able to find her, they thought she might have drowned in one of the creeks at Happy Hill Park. It had rained heavily that night and there was flooding.

No trace of Sherri has ever been found.

Did you know Sherri back in 1970? Did she talk to you about anything that seemed unimportant to you then, but might have some significance now? Is there anyone out there who remembers something?

Samatha Baremore ~ A Beautiful Smile, Still Missing

Samatha has been missing since April 6, 2004 from Winston-Salem NC. She was last seen leaving in a taxi from Sugar Bares VIP club on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive where she worked as a stripper. She is 5'6" and weighs 115 pounds. She has a tattoo of her dead father's name on her thigh. Her family nickname is "Pinky". She dances under the name "Sunshine".

Winston-Salem Journal Reporter Patrick Wilson interviewed Samatha’s mother, Barbara Ashe, a portion of that interview follows:

A mother's instincts: "She's no longer here"
Barbara Ashe remembers clearly the talk she had with her daughter at the family home in Lexington six years ago, after Samatha Baremore had moved to Winston-Salem to become a stripper.

If you keep living the life you're living in Winston-Salem, Ashe angrily told her daughter, you'll end up dead. Four years later, in April 2004, Baremore disappeared. Now, after two emotion-filled years of searching, traveling and posting fliers, Ashe's instincts as a mother are painful.

"I just feel in my heart that she's no longer here," she said. Her mother said she knows that Baremore wouldn't leave without a trace - not without calling to check on her daughter, Alexis, now 11, and not without calling the family to let them know that she was all right. But the pain of not knowing, she said, cannot be described.

A woman called "Sunshine"
Baremore's family first thought that something was wrong when her sister, Walt-Tex Baremore, went to the club about 11 p.m. on April 8 to pick her up. Baremore didn't have a car, and her sister often picked her up before family birthdays and holidays. But an employee said that Baremore wasn't there.

So Walt-Tex Baremore went back the next night, April 9. When an employee said he hadn't seen Baremore at work for a few days, Walt-Tex Baremore called their mother to tell her that something was wrong.

On April 10, the day before Easter, Walt-Tex Baremore joined Samatha's other sister, Erricka, and another relative, Althea Brodie, and they looked for her in Winston-Salem. Brodie, a niece of Baremore's father, has raised Baremore's daughter since 1999.

They went to clubs, housing projects and gas stations asking if anyone knew a dancer named Sunshine. They drove to the apartment off Silas Creek Parkway where Baremore lived with her boyfriend, Cedrick Bobby Lemon.

Inside the apartment, they found Baremore's possessions, including her dance bag, packed up near the door. Walt-Tex Baremore said she knew her sister wouldn't have left without her dance bag if she was going far.
"She always took that bag with her," she said.

John Donovan Remains Found: Missing Mans Backpack Credited with Two Dallas Hikers Survival

Police and volunteers suspect they've found the remains of a Virginia man missing since vanishing in May 2005 while hiking in the Southern California wild.

The remains were found near John Donovan's backpack, which was discovered a month ago by two hikers who credited its contents for their survival. Donovan was last seen alive near the California's San Bernardino National Forest.

Last month, two hikers from Dallas -- Brandon Day and Gina Allen -- became separated from their group for three days when they found Donovan's backpack. They used matches from the pack to light a fire that signaled their location to searchers. They also used clothes found in the bag to stay warm.

The remains were found near a campsite believed to have been set up by Donovan.

Danny Frick & Georgia Frick: 48 Years of Law Enforcement Service

I read yesterday that these guys were hanging up their uniforms. The Fricks are retiring after a combined career of 48 years. Over the years they have become familiar faces to most everyone… the good, the bad, and the arrested, in Surry County, NC.

The notorious State Trooper Danny Frick was not a face you wanted to see if you were on the wrong side of the law. But rest assured you couldn’t ask for a better man to show up if you were in need of help. He is one of the finest men to ever wear the uniform.

I remember the first time I ever saw Danny he didn’t have a uniform on. He was walking across a parking lot. I looked at him and told my husband, “I’d bet all the money I have that man is a State Trooper”. My husband asked why I was so sure. I told him, “He walks like one, full of pride and self-confidence. I later found out I was right.

As for his lovely wife Georgia, she is a great and patient lady. Her career not only took her to the DMV but the Sheriffs Dept., Police Dept. and the Drivers License Division. I have had more than a few occasions to see her in action. I’m pretty sure she gave both my kids their driving test… God Bless Her and Her Nerves.

Danny & Georgia I hope you have a wonderful life outside of Law Enforcement. You both have been officers of the highest caliber.
