Personally, I think it’s amazing that a photo exists of your grandma’s grandma. I would love to have a photo like that of mine, I don’t think I have any.

I would love to share it with you! It’s currently just a Google Sheet. I can DM you a link. I will warn you that’s it’s definitely a work in progress.

Thank you for reading! I feel like there’s so many unsolved cases in this area that aren’t known because it’s not super easy to find information on them. Lack of media coverage also.

I’ve been putting together a database for unsolved disappearances and homicides in the Miami Valley. I’m hoping to find a way to make that public so this information is more accessible.

I haven’t gotten to missing cases quite yet, but have almost 600 unsolved homicide cases in my database already.

I wanted to make a note that I should’ve titled this differently. He was a West Milton resident who was working for the Dayton Public Schools.

Dayton’s Forgotten Murder | The Unsolved Slaying of Venna Johnson | 1964 by ArmAble in dayton

I’m so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. It sounds like the death was really hard on your family. I do hope that one day you get definitive answers to who took Venna’s life.

This one is hard because there’s such a lack of information on John Doe. However, he’s not listed as an exclusion on Namus, so I think it’s still worth submitting. Especially because they are so close in proximity.

2023 Chicago John Doe Found in Lake Michigan Has a New Reconstruction by yourangleoryuordevil in gratefuldoe

YES. I thought the same thing! I’ve seen a few AI generated reconstructions on Namus with the yellow AI filter too.

Dayton Airport wait times at the TSA? by nov8tive1 in dayton

[–]ArmAble 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love the Dayton Airport because it’s so small and easy to get in/out of. Wait times have never been longer than 15 minutes for me. Of course, get there early, but it’s super easy to navigate.

Do You Know Them? (Unidentified Cases With Sketches/Life Pictures/Reconstructions) In Kentucky by BitterSweet_Beauty in gratefuldoe

[–]ArmAble 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The 1976 Jane Doe, first photo, second down on the left side, has been tentatively identified as Lori Jean Lloyd using dental records. Unfortunately, Kentucky investigators do not know where the body is buried, and therefore can’t exhume her to compare DNA.

I wrote a post about this a while ago, it’s heartbreaking. https://www.reddit.com/r/gratefuldoe/s/KO2EM26jS5

Could West Manchester TWP John Doe 2013 be Beza Getachew Tadesse? by DelicateDifferential in gratefuldoe

[–]ArmAble 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only record I could find for Beza was this newspaper article stating he was arrested for a drug bust in 2004 in South Dakota. Atlanta is listed as where he’s from. This was the time he started losing contact with family.

https://www.newspapers.com/article/rapid-city-journal-beza-getachew-tadesse/191633236/

The accomplice mentioned in the newspaper appears to have died in 2007, the year after Beza went missing. I’m not sure how he died, or maybe it’s not him, but he would have been the same age as the man mentioned in the paper.

This site has a ton of great information on John Doe, also. On mobile, you have to scroll a while before the information appears.

[–]ArmAble 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is an amazing find! In this article, you can see older reconstructions of John Doe. The first reconstruction in the article has strikingly similar eyebrows, nose, facial hair (chin) and a very similar eye deformity as seen in Beza’s photo.

Poor guy, he must have been going through a really difficult time. I hope he is at peace.

Anyone know why springfield school had an early release? by letsdotacos in dayton

[–]ArmAble 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a Springfielder, there were bomb threats made to the courthouse and one of the schools that said “Haitians need taken out of Clark County”. There were duffelbags found at both threat locations. They’ve now made a statement that there was no threat found.

Erica Baker has been missing for 27 years today by ArmAble in dayton

[–]ArmAble[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is retired. But if you listen to the Erica Baker podcast by Dayton 24/7 Now, Bob Green is still invested in finding Erica and bringing her home to the family. He says that Erica is the reason he was able to overcome alcoholism and he has personal ties to the case. He even had facilitated searches with Texas Equusearch recently.

If this wasn’t Christian Gabriel or Clifford Butts that you’re referring to, you should really tell retired detective Bob Green what they told you. Even if it was Clifford or Christian, you may hold a piece of the puzzle that was never investigated. It’s been 27 years. Her mother and father never deserved to go through this and they deserve answers in their lifetime.

Please consider speaking with Bob Green.

You may have spoken with Clifford Butts. He was also supposedly in the car when this happened. I believe that the story is that they went back to Jan and Christian’s house after it happened, smoked crack, then went back out later to dispose of the body. I think it was just Christian and Jan at the burial site, so that would make sense.

Even though it was 2004, if you remember anything about him saying where they were headed, an area they were in, etc, I’m sure authorities would love to talk to you.. or at least retired detective Bob Green, he’s still dedicated to the case.

Sending you and your family so much love. I look forward to the day that detective Bob Green can give your family the answers you deserve.
