In the segment on Nyleen's presumed abduction, it is mentioned that her Uncle spotted two people at the scene who he later recognized on a "wanted" flyer and that the pair were wanted on kidnapping charges. Does anyone have any information on this particular case?

In searching about Nyleen's case online I found out a few interesting tidbits I thought I'd share with everyone. One poster wrote: When I lived in Montana, an article appeared in the Helena Independent Record newspaper (approx. 1997) that a young woman had entered an out of state hospital to give birth. She didn't seem to know much about her personal history but thought perhaps her mother's name was Nyleen. They were wondering if this might have been Nyleen herself. The newspaper never confirmed or disclaimed whether it could have been Nyleen or not. Also someone else talked about an unidentified Jane Doe found in Wisconsin which of course is where the letters were mailed from talking about Nyleen. I can see a resemblance between this picture and the pictures of Nyleen as a child. http://www.racineco.com/sheriff/crimebulletin.aspx (its the second case mentioned) |

After staring at this and the picture of Nyleen as a kid on UM I'm almost convinced, esp. with the WI connection |

Well then they should try some DNA from the family.
Egads, Arnold Oldschool, that link's picture is gruesome and scary! Looks like they photoshopped the face to be recognizable and did nothing to cover up the obvious decomposing flesh from the rest of her body laying on the slab. Ugh. |

Okay, well get ready to be completely creeped out. Thanks to the wonders of photoshop, I was able to put a photo of Nyleen and the photo of this victim side by side. Then I made Nyleen's photo transparent, and was able to superimpose it over the face of the victim. The results are quite amazing.
![]() Lining up the nose (realize the size has been adjusted), you can see the shape is identical. Now, this wouldn't be the same way that age progression is done, because the eyes are what stay in the same ratio. ![]() So, here are the eyes lined up, showing the lengthening and growth of the nose and mouth with age. ![]() Creepy, no? Good lead, I'd say. |

I emailed the website with your pictures and asked them if Nyleen was ever thought to be a body ID
I'll keep you posted!! |

Wow Apostapler that picture is so creepy! Nice work superimposing the pictures, very impressive. It is quite compelling.

Wow, it's true that the two pictures match almost seemlessly.
And if you compare Jane Doe's face to Nyleen's mother in the segment, she does have some striking features resembling her mother, especially around the nose and the exterior of the eyes going downward... |

Later, the family received a letter or letters from a man saying that he had Nyleen and was keeping her as a companion. He admitted to a sexual component to the relationship, but said that he was having her educated and they were travelling the world together. I can't remember if he made phone calls or not. Anyway, somehow or other it was revealed that Nyleen was in Wisconsin. This Jane Doe was found dead in WI back in 1999 (I think) so there's where the suspected connection comes in. |

He did make several phone calls to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, in which he referenced making trips with Nyleen to several part of the United States, Canada, and the UK.

Wow, that's a great potential match. I wish there was a real photograph with the same frontal view as the victim, comparison would be easier. The nose in the age progression photo looks odd.
