Charlene Doe – Willow Slough Park Fourth of July 1988
HTML https://i.imgur.com/paaE5D9.jpg
Willow Slough is the place to go if you like hunting, fishing,
and camping in the Morocco Indiana area. Some might say it’s
about the only entertainment offered for the wildlife enthusiast
in these parts. July 4, 1998 was no exception. The day of
Independence! The Day of Celebration! The Fourth of July is a
day families gather for parties, togetherness and fireworks.
Many people in Morocco Indiana and the surrounding areas
gathered that particular of Fourth of July and celebrated.
People had picnics with chicken, pasta salad, corn bread and
lemonade. Kids were running around with sparklers. Lots of
eating, drinking and laughter happened that day, just what you
would expect for a Fourth of July.
That day, that particular Fourth of July was not a good day for
me or a friend of mine. It’s speculated that, that was day we
met our final independence. We were set free from the confines
of life.
On August 5, 1988, a man fishing at Beaver Creek in the Willow
Slough State Park found me and my friend Tony. We had been
killed by someone who didn’t want you to find us or know who we
were, that’s clear by the fact they set us on fire to finish us
off. They failed. My friend Tony was identified. The funny thing
is that no one would tell them who I was. Why was that?
Now it’s time for the public to help. I mean, okay so Tony’s
family and friends won’t tell them who I am. But I am somebody
and somebody is probably looking for me right now in this very
instance as you are reading this. 1988 was a long time ago. It’s
time my family and friends find me and learn what happened to
me. Like Tony’s family learned about him. Right?
Let me help you. I was an African American Female, twenty five
to forty five years old, who stood about 5’6, and while my
weight was unknown it’s stated that I had a very light (below
average) build. Can I tell you a secret? I think you might
consider that I was closer to twenty five. Medically speaking I
had a joint disorder called Osteochondritis Dessicans and Spina
Bifidea but it’s possible I didn’t even know about these
conditions. Sometimes they exist but are not evident to the
person who has them. Maybe as I had grown older I would have
become aware of them, but we’ll never know that now will we?
One last interesting thing that may or may not help someone
figure out who I am is a safety pin. It has the number 450
stamped on to it. It’s like one of those pins you see used for a
public swimming pool. They found that pin along with a piece of
Jordace Jeans, a red button and a small piece of what appears to
be a red and white checkered vinyl cloth. As you can see we have
come full circle back to the Fourth of July. Swimming and picnic
tables just like any average Fourth of July celebration. Except
this one, I died.
If you know about that Fourth of July 1988 in Morocco Indiana
would you please call the following phone number and tell them.
If you know who I am will you please call and tell them. It’s
been too long. I’m ready to find closure. Help me find that
closure.
