The Charley Project is mentioned in this article that discusses the identification of Mary Jane Menard.
Meaghan congratulating for reaching that milestone.
BTW you just added Tammy Jo Alexander to Charley a couple of days ago and she is currently a âfew details are availableâ case. However there has been a robust exchange of information on Facebook and its possible that Carl Koppelman has solved one of the best known unidentified Jane Doe cases on record. That of the Doe Networks Case File 1UFNY, Cali Doe.
I have added Tammyâs best girlfriend in High School (the one who reported her missing 35 yeas later) to my friends list and am endeavoring to find out more about Tammy Jo as a person, regardless if she is Cali or not.
Yeah, Carl told me he thought she was Cali. I hope this turns out to be true.
Update: For those interested inlearning more about Tammy Jo Alexanderâs life before she vanished.
From C. W. McCallâs song Convoy from the 1978 movie by the same name
Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June
In a Kenworth pullin’ logs
Cab-over Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin’ hogs
We is headin’ for bear on I-one-oh
‘Bout a mile outta Shaky Town
I says, “Pig Pen, this here’s the Rubber Duck.
“And I’m about to put the hammer down.”
According to her very close high school girlfriend Tammy had the dreams and aspirations of a typical young teenager. A Future Business Leaders of America in high school she talked about going to the University of Florida, while at the same time spoke of her longing to marring her boyfriend Kevin when she turned 18.
Her dad managed a local truck stop and âshe loved chatting on the CB radio with the truckers,â during a era when movies like âConvoyâ and âSmokey and the Banditâ depicted long haul truckers as romantic knights of the interstate.
Her friend describes Tammyâs personality as â very outgoing, not a shy bone in her body.â
At the time she went missing Tammyâs brown hair was frosted blonde in keeping with her favorite song; Rod Stewartâs âBlondes (have more fun).â
For various reasonâs Tammy developed wanderlust at a young age. Before she vanished completely she once ran away from home with a girlfriend, hitching rides with truckers, (people she felt she could trust) all the way from Florida to southern California before her friends mother bought plane tickets for both girl to return home..
She vanished sometime in the late spring of 1979, not January of 1977 as listed in her NamUs profile. Its unknown if she was reported missing the second time.
Tammy vanished long before authorities learned that some truckers, like Robert Ben Rhoades and John Robert Williams, were serial killers. And decades before the FBI would state, âthat serial killers working as long-haul truckers are responsible for the slayings of hundreds of prostitutes, hitchhikers and stranded motorists whose bodies have been dumped near highways over the last three decades.â
Thanks to her long ago friend Tammy Jo Alexander was added to NamUs this summer, 35 years after she was last seen alive, but make no mistake – she was never forgotten.
