  • Case History

    On December 6th, 1995 a surveyor attempting to locate marking stakes located a complete set of skeletal remains in the wooded area adjacent to Courts Plus health club on Marine Boulevard, US Highway 17 in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Jacksonville, N.C. is the home of Camp Lejeune Marine Corp Base and Marine Corps Air Station. There are approximately 30,000 United States Marines that reside in and around Jacksonville and Camp Lejeune. Total population is around 70,000.

    The date of death estimation is corroborated by Nike shoe manufacturing date. Police looked for missing prostitutes at the time but did not find any missing. Investigators checked hotels in the area before finding the match to the key found with her. No one was registered to the room at the time she would have gone missing, and nothing was recorded as being left in the room at the time.
