Miss X (decedent)
Miss X is the name given to an unidentified deceased woman whose body was found March 18, 1967, near the towns of Bear, Wilmington, and Glasgow, Delaware, United States. Originally, investigators thought she died during (or as the result of) an abortion attempt, which was illegal at that time. A more detailed examination had determined that she and her unborn child died of sepsis. Foul play is suspected due to the circumstances of the discovery of her body, and the manner of death is listed on her death certificate as a homicide. On January 25, 2023, her Doe Network page was marked as "Identified". Her identity was leaked on the Doe Network's Twitter account as Patrona "Patra" Patmios, a missing woman of Greek descent from New Jersey, though this has not yet been confirmed by law enforcement. Circumstances Miss X's body was found on the side of Porter Road on March 18, 1967. She was wearing only a pair of blue bikini-like underwear, the manufacturer's label of which had bee ...

Blood Type
A blood type (also known as a blood group) is a classification of blood, based on the presence and absence of antibodies and inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). These antigens may be proteins, carbohydrates, glycoproteins, or glycolipids, depending on the blood group system. Some of these antigens are also present on the surface of other types of cells of various tissues. Several of these red blood cell surface antigens can stem from one allele (or an alternative version of a gene) and collectively form a blood group system. Blood types are inherited and represent contributions from both parents of an individual. , a total of 43 human blood group systems are recognized by the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT). The two most important blood group systems are ABO and Rh; they determine someone's blood type (A, B, AB, and O, with + or − denoting RhD status) for suitability in blood transfusion.

Carl William Koppelman (born December 16, 1962) is an American professional accountant and unpaid volunteer forensic sketch artist. Since 2009, Koppelman has drawn over 250 reconstructions and age progressions of missing and unidentified people. Early life and death fascination Koppelman has attributed growing up in the 1970s, when there was a growing coverage of serial killers, to starting his fascination with crime and unsolved mysteries. Koppelman has also attributed several key incidents as formative memories. The first of these happened when he was 9, during the 1972 Summer Olympics, when terrorists killed 11 Israeli athletes. Koppelman has cited this as being one of the earlier memories of the evil that people do to each other. The next key event happened in 1977, when Koppelman was 14. 17 year old John LaMay, a friend of Koppelman's brother, was killed by the "trash bag killer" Patrick Kearney. This incident directly impacted Koppelman's sphere of community. The third ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
