Nassau County deputies are asking for your help in identifying a woman whose remains were found April 10 in Bryceville. Turkey hunters found the remains at the Deep Creek Hunting Club. Bones that most likely belonged to a deer also were found at the site. Deputies said it appears the woman had been dead for more than a year. She was between 25 and 45 years-old and stood 4-foot-8 to 5-foot-3. A facial reconstruction of what investigators believed the woman looked like was released this afternoon. Anyone with information should call the Sheriff's Office at (904) 225-0331. http://www.jacksonville.com/community/my_n...l_remains_found |

Input sought to find identity of remains By Amanda Bishop NCR Editor Friday, September 4, 2009 5:12 PM EDT Newly released facial sketches of a skull may bring closure to the family of a missing woman - provided tips lead officials to uncovering the woman's identity. The remains do not belong to either Theresa Maynette Maxwell of Hilliard or Jackie Markham of Callahan, said Nassau County Sheriff's Public Information Officer Angela Spears. "Too young, too short," she said when asked if the facial recognition belonged to Maxwell. The possibility of Markham's connection to the skeletal remains was ruled out by dental records just five days after the bones were found. Two hunters found the skeletal remains around 7:40 a.m. April 10, as they hunted for turkey at Deep Creek Hunt Club. Non-human bones were also found, but were most likely deer bones, according to a press release sent to media Friday. When the skeletal remains were found in April, they were sent to the Jacksonville Medical Examiner's Office. From there, through an extensive evaluation, an anthropologist determined the victim was most likely a white female between 25-45 years of age. Markham was 52 when she disappeared. Maxwell was 45. The anthropologist also determined that the woman was between 4 foot 8 inches and 5 foot 3 inches tall and had been deceased for more than a year. A third local woman, Windy Gail Dudra Fox, who grew up in Callahan, has been missing since August 2006. When asked if the bones could possibly be linked to Fox, Spears said the person's identity is unknown. "We simply don't know," she said. "They're investigating and asking for leads." If you recognize this person or have any information that could help detectives, call the NCSO at 879-3853 in Callahan or Hilliard, 904-353-7072 in Bryceville or 904-225-0331 in Yulee. abishop@nassaucountyrecord.com http://www.nassaucountyrecord.com/articles...news/news01.txt |

Police Examine Possible Link Between Bones Found, Missing Woman POSTED: Wednesday, April 15, 2009 UPDATED: 12:03 am EDT April 16, 2009 NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. -- Investigators said they are using every tool at their disposal to learn if human remains found in the woods of Nassau County are those of a Callahan woman who disappeared nearly nine years ago. Larger map http://www.news4jax.com/2009/0413/19168592_640X360.jpg According to the Nassau County Sheriff's Office, two hunters found a human skull and bones last Friday while walking in a wooded area off county Road 119. Sheriff Tommy Seagraves said it appears the bones are those of a white woman. "We're going to send this information to Broward County, where they have computer automated system that's is able to reconstruct and rebuild a form of a face figure to the skull itself," Seagraves said. He said foul play is suspected. Detectives said they think they know how the woman was killed, but they would not release that information because they said it's too important to their investigation. However, detectives did reveal that they have requested Jacquelyn Markham's dental records to see if they match. The 52-year-old mother and grandmother disappeared from her Callahan home almost nine years ago. Family and friends put up flyers all over town hoping someone would recognize Markham and know her whereabouts, but nobody ever did. Now, police are investigating again, but they were quick to point out the bones found in the woods could belong to anyone. The sheriff said the bones could belong to anyone and that he doesn't want to give Markham's family and friends false hope, but he said after nine years they deserve closure and his agency is investigating.

Skeletal remains may be missing local woman By Shannon Malcom, News-Leader Nassau County investigators are looking into the possibility that skeletal remains found near Bryceville last weekend could be those of Jackie Markham, a Callahan mother and grandmother who went missing on Dec. 14, 2000. Nassau County Sheriff Tommy Seagraves said experts with the Jacksonville Medical Examiner's Office and an anthropology expert are "leaning toward (the remains being) female and Caucasian." Detectives are working the case as a homicide, Seagraves said. But he cautioned that no positive identification of the bones has been made and a cause of death has not yet been determined. Seagraves said in addition to "countless" Caucasian women reported missing nationwide, there's "a girl missing from Clay County, females missing from Duval, from Broward County." "It could be anybody, but it could be (Markham)," Seagraves said Thursday morning. "I actually have talked to the Markham family, and of course the missing person from that general area is Jackie Markham, and I'd love to see this lead to some more steps to solving this case for the family ... but even if not, it's still good to re-release the story (of Markham's disappearance) and keep it in the public eye." Markham would have turned 60 this year; family members have long assumed she is dead, but the uncertainty is torturous for her children. "She has just enough hope (that her mother is still alive) to make her life miserable," Markham's son-in-law Todd Myrick said of his wife Melissa, Markham's daughter, in a 2006 interview. "Sometimes there will be that one second, in an airport or something, where she sees someone with the same hair or something and thinks, 'Maybe,' but it's never her." And, Seagraves is quick to caution, this may not be her. With no positive DNA identification, no cause of death ruling, no word yet on how long the remains have been where they were found or when this person may have died, Seagraves said at this point the only thing linking the remains to Markham is the educated guess by experts that the bones are from a white female along with the fact they were discovered on the West Side of Nassau County, in the general area where Markham went missing. The bones, including a human skull, were discovered at a hunt club in Bryceville April 10 and do show some indication that the death was a homicide, but Seagraves declined to confirm that the indications include a possible bullet hole in the skull. "The experts need to do some X-raying, at this point, we're looking for everything," Seagraves said. "They're also hoping to be able to get DNA out of the teeth ... they're going to send a description and the measurements of the skull itself, and there's a computer system that's able to maybe reconstruct a face ... they're trying to get an estimate of the height of the person." Because Seagraves is familiar with the Markham case, and with Markham's family, he admits he hopes the remains are those of Markham, so detectives can go from there to solving the case, and the family can have some closure. The case was re-opened by the sheriff's office in 2006. Markham disappeared the day before a planned trip to visit her children and her grandson for an early Christmas in December 2000. Her Christmas tree was found half-decorated and covered in cobwebs when her children went to her home to collect her personal items in April 2001, and since her disappearance, her car, her bank account, her cell phone, her name, her Social Security number and her legal name have never been used. Her family had her declared legally dead so they could sell her Callahan home. Still, Seagraves knows they are hoping for some answers. "Right now, they don't have anything, any answers," he said. "All they have is memories." http://www.fbnewsleader.com/articles...0thurs%201.txt |

Skeleton In Nassau Woods Not Missing Woman POSTED: Tuesday, April 21, 2009 UPDATED: 11:48 am EDT April 21, 2009 YULEE, Fla. -- A forensic anthropologist has ruled out that human remains found at a Nassau County hunt club earlier this month belonged to a Callahan woman who disappeared nearly nine years ago, but he still has not identified the remains or determined how the person died. According to the Nassau County Sheriff's Office, two hunters found a human skull and bones April 10 while walking in the Deep Creek Hunt Club off county Road 119. Sheriff Tommy Seagraves said it appears the bones are those of a white woman and foul play was suspected in the person's death. "We're going to send this information to Broward County, where they have computer automated system that is able to reconstruct and rebuild a form of a face figure to the skull itself," Seagraves said. Detectives sent dental records of the missing 52-year-old woman, Jacquelyn Markham, but they did not match. The medical examiner and a forensic anthropologist from Florida Gulf Coast University continue to try to identify the remains. http://www.news4jax.com/news/19239586/detail.html |

Remains ID'd in Nassau Discovery April 21, 2009 11:37 Another setback for the family of missing woman. Nassau County Sheriff Tommy Seagraves says the remains that were recently found in the Deep Creek Hunt Club are NOT those of Jackie Markham. Dental records helped provide that bit of confirmation, but investigators still have not made positive identification. Markham went missing weeks before Christmas in 2000. Hunters found the skeletal remains earlier this month in Bryceville. http://wokv.com/localnews/2009/04/re...-discover.html |

By Amanda Bishop NCR Editor Friday, January 8, 2010 2:41 PM EST The year 2009 included several events easily classified as "news of the unusual." Topping the list was the discovering of skeletal remains at a Bryceville's Deep Creek Hunt Club April 10. Two hunters found the skeletal remains around 7:40 a.m. Facial sketches were released to the media in August, but so far, no positive identification has been made. The Nassau County Sheriff's Office did confirm in August that the remains do not belong to either Theresa Maynette Maxwell of Hilliard or Jackie Markham of Callahan. Another missing woman, Windy Dudra Fox, was not immediately ruled out, but no connection was made to her either. The anthropologist who studied the remains determined that the woman was between 4 foot 8 inches and 5 foot 3 inches tall and had been deceased for more than a year when the bones were found.
