Neosho, Mo. A parachute cord used to hogtie a yet unidentified
murdered woman in McDonald County more than 20 years ago was
military issue.
Meanwhile, the victim's skull missing until recently has been CT
scanned at a Neosho hospital, with the scan to be used to
finally give her a face. Most of the rest of lately rediscovered
her remains have been sent to Texas University to establish
nuclear DNA.
Detective Lorie Howard opened the cold case of the murdered
woman she calls Grace as in it will only be the grace of God
that she ever solves the mystery three years ago after people
kept asking about it. Since then, Howard has invested her own
time and money in finding out the identities of both Grace and
her killer.
As previously reported by the Daily News, Grace's badly
decomposed body was discovered on Dec. 2, 1990 in some weeds
beside an abandoned house on Oscar Talley Road, about midway
between Lanagan and Pineville.
She had apparently been hogtied with six different types of
binding: Nylon rope, lead rope, coaxial cable, telephone cable,
parachute cord and clothesline. Because of the way she was
bound, both hands behind the back and tied to one leg and a
shoelace, Howard feels that Grace was also raped before she
died. There were never any suspects and Grace has never been
identified.
Howard has stated that she believes the bindings are the key to
solving the case. Last week, she told the Daily that she has
untangled at least some of the mystery with the discovery that
the paracord used to bind Grace was not available commercially.
This improves the chances that it came from a military base.
That tidbit of information was prompted just recently after
Howard began staring, again, at the photo of Grace's jacket,
which shows a close-up of her bindings.
I was looking at the photo trying to figure out what I had
missed, and that green cord just kept staring out at me,Howard
said. And I thought I need to research this cord.
What she found out was that it isn't the common 550 paracord, as
had been thought. It is actually a MIL-C-5040H Type II cord.
That's military issue. What makes this type different, Howard
said, is that instead of the normal seven strands, it has four.
As with most military issue paracords, this one has a color code
on the inside of one of the strands that helps identify the
manufacturer. Howard believes she has tracked it to a company
called Continental, which in the early 1990s sold pretty much
exclusively to the U.S. military, according to Howard. That
tells her something she has already long suspected.
It tells me I need to look locally (for the killer), Howard
said. Granted, it could be from any military site, but we have a
local base close by. It tells me it doesn't necessarily have to
be someone from far away. It can be someone local.
You can never be completely sure, with the major highway running
right through here, she continued. But it helps confirm to me
that yeah, this is a military cord and we have a military base.
It's not exact, of course. It could have come from anywhere. But
I like the idea of knowing that this is a specific cord and I
can determine if it was used in some other crime.
Meanwhile, Grace's remains, missing since Howard reopened the
cold case, were recently rediscovered at the University of
Arkansas in Fayetteville. The skull was scheduled to receive a
CT scan last Wednesday at Freeman Neosho Hospital. That scan
will now be sent to a forensic artist in Montreal, Canada, who
offered to digitally reconstruct Grace's face after reading an
online Daily News article about the case. No one has ever known
what she looked like. Now Howard said it should just be a matter
of weeks before everyone does. America's Most Wanted has
tentatively agreed to televise the story after Grace gets a
face.
Grace's teeth and bones are going to the University of North
Texas Health Science Center to try and establish nuclear DNA.
That will then be entered into the Computationally Optimized DNA
Assembly (CODA) system. If a parent or a sibling is looking for
her and they're willing to match the DNA, that would now be
possible. Should another crime take place and DNA is found
matching someone in Grace's family, it would be flagged. In many
states, felons must also give DNA samples. Howard is looking at
any and all possibilities to locate a member of Grace's family.
With any luck at all, we will have nuclear DNA, Grace will have
a face to go with the sketch of what she was wearing, and it
should go national, Howard said. I should have a fairly complete
picture of what she looked like and who she was.

"Grace Doe", Unidentified Murder Victim from Mcdonald County
Missourri
This is a forensic reconstruction of what Grace Doe may have
looked like when she died in 1990,
HTML https://i.imgur.com/Je0qGwa.jpg
HTML https://i.imgur.com/qoJZxnS.jpg
Detective Lorie Howard of the McDonald County Sheriff's office
has dedicated a lot of time to trying to find out who Grace Doe
is. Grace's body was rumored to have been found in late 1990
first by a 10-year-old boy who claimed he saw a body in a
carport of a local abandoned farmhouse. Unfortunately, the boy's
parents thought he was fibbing and he has never been identified.
The boy was likely the last person to have seen Grace Does' body
intact. She was then reported found in some weeds December 2nd
1990 by a couple collecting cans. Grace's skull was wrapped in a
towel and the rest of her remains had been scattered by animals
outside an abandoned farmhouse on Oscar Talley Road midway
between Lanagan and Pineville Missouri. Some in the community
reported hearing a woman scream and the loud rumbling of a
diesel engine in the area about a week before Halloween.
Grace had been hogtied with six different types of rope
including military issued cord that was not available to the
public in 1990 and clothesline. Both of her hands were tied
behind her back and then to one of her legs with a shoelace.
HTML https://i.imgur.com/M6jUWZb.jpg
It is believed that Grace was sexually assaulted and then
strangled as there were no signs of gunshot wounds, knife
wounds, or blunt force trauma. It is believed by authorities
that Grace's murderer lives in the area. She was named "Grace"
Doe because Howard believes it will only be by the grace of god
that she will learn the woman's identity. It was thought that
she could be the missing Janet Dolgae but she was ruled out by
DNA.
A single blonde hair not belonging to the victim was found on
her body. DNA has been taken from the hair but does not match
anyone in the system.
In 2012 a confidential informant came to Detective Howard and
claimed to know both the name of the victim and of the murderer.
No charges or positive identification has come from this tip.
If you have any information regarding Grace Doe's murder or
identity please call Detective Lorie Howard with the McDonald
County Sheriff's Office at 417-223-7429 or 7430
Description: Grace had shoulder length auburn hair. It is
believed that she is of mixed race, most likely White and Native
American. She was probably in her mid-20's to early 30's, was
between 5'1 and 5'4 and weighed 120 pounds. Grace wore a denim
jacket, white t-shirt "Lee" brand blue jeans and white "Fitness"
brand tennis shoes at the time of her murder.
Tribal information: Grace Doe is believed to be of mixed race,
most likely Native American. Due to her being identified her
people are unknown.

Hope for Neosho’s Grace Doe
June 17, 2012 By Alice
HTML https://i.imgur.com/PNVCbQc.jpg
Hope for Neosho’s Grace Doe. Her her case may be televised
nationally! “McDonald County sheriff’s detective Lori Howard
said Thursday that she received a call last week from a producer
of the TV show America’s Most Wanted about doing a episode on
the cold case that Howard reopened several years ago.”
Grace’s skeletal remains were found on Dec. 2, 1990, in a weeded
area near an abandoned farmhouse on Oscar Talley Road, east of
Lanagan, in McDonald County. Det. Howard found out that a
10-year-old boy had actually found Grace’s body about month
before she was “officially” discovered by a couple picking up
cans along the road. By that time, the body was already
decomposed to a large extent and wild animals had gotten to it
as well. A month earlier, it would have been mostly intact,
however, as Grace is thought to have been murdered on Halloween
night, based on the report of a witness who said she heard a
woman scream and then a noisy pickup truck drove by.
A few days after Halloween, the unknown 10-year-old reportedly
told his parents about seeing a woman’s body near the abandoned
house he played in but they didn’t believe him. It was only
after media reports came out in December on the murdered Jane
Doe that the parents realized their mistake and came forward
about their son’s early discovery.
The boy, who would now be in his early 30s, is the only known
person to have seen Grace’s body intact. Frustratingly, neither
the boy’s name nor that of his parents was ever recorded, and
nobody remembers who they were.
HTML https://i.imgur.com/NsyvC7C.jpg
It would be a great advancement for the case if we can find that
boy, now of course a man. This is not about anything he might
have done wrong. This is about everything he remembers. A tiny
details can make a big difference in a cold case.
The green parachute cord used to hogtie Grace Doe more than 20
years ago was military issue.

Detective Lorie Howard has stated that she believes the bindings
are the key to solving the case. Last week, she told the Daily

A couple collecting cans on December 2, 1990, found Grace's
skull, that was wrapped in a towel, and other bones scattered in
some weeds near the farmhouse and called authorities. Grace's
skeletal remains had been scattered by animals, according to
Howard.
How did the skull get wrapped in a towel? It wasn't a skull
until decomposition. Did the murderer decapitate her?
