Now that we have done all that we can do for Naomi.. God Bless Her family.. There is another missing not too far away. Her name is Jamie Harper She was last seen at a house party in Rantoul. Please help this unfortunate family find their missing loved one.

Has EquuSearch been contacted about this case?

If they came to launch a search, I would participate.
I took part in another local search very recently & was very impressed with them.

You know, when I was running names through searches in the last couple days, relative to another case, I was surprised to see Rantoul, Champaign, and Sadorus coming up as listed addresses.

Those are the three towns attached to 'mom'. It would be interesting to see the dates, or if the boys spent much time there as kids or young men..

texasgal · #5 10-10-2007, 04:13 PM

Rantoul is also listed as a former address for JAA ...

Hello sunshine

Even if she overdosed, it would be a criminal act to otherwise dispose of her body, yes? We need to find her.

I knew he lived on Duncan Road in Champaign in the mid to late 90's, didn't realize they had ties to Rantoul. [/*]

I thought it was interesting also .. former ties, friends, people to hang out with .. familiar with the area, etc.

Wonder how we find out whos house 'the party' was at, and if they are acquainted.

We are going to need the assistance of the family if we are going to make much progress imo. [/*]

Do we know who LE's POI is in the Zimmerman case? They are stating they have the same POI in this case also..

I'll admit that I didn't look at your two best guesses yet ..

Edited to say: I agree re: family's help. Gotta have it.

Did anyone else notice that the article in the above link was reported on the very same day that Naomi went missing?

When I saw that it gave me chills!

Shells2 · #11 10-10-2007, 09:25 PM

Does anyone know anything about this party? Was there any sort of confrontation?

Did Jamie leave the party alone? Was her attendance even confirmed?

i admit math is not my strongsuit. but in your post it says :

Last Seen
3/9/2007
Date Of Birth 17-Oct-77

in the link you provided, it says:

Age: 20

a 1977 birtdate would make her almost 30, not 20.

is the confusion on the age or the date she went missing?

(i read - from another link you gave - that the other woman, Heather Dawn Mullins Zimmerman, went missing in 1997)

(or did i just misread?)

Run those names through the Champaign County Clerk's office database (http://www.cccircuitclerk.com/) both traffic and criminal...

Both live on Laurel Drive in Rantoul... (NOT SUGGESTING ANYTHING) [/*]

Has anyone researched Jeromy Ramm? He also lived at that address (last known address) when last arrested on 3/22/07 for residential burglary. He also has other criminal priors inluding domestic violence.

cog1 · #14 10-11-2007, 02:18 PM

Info on Jeromy Ramm, 31.
One of his addresses listed in 98 is in a trailer park. However, not the one mentioned above. It also appears that another address given in 2002 could have been a trailer park in Champaign.

Penny Dawn Lease missing from Champaign, was last seen with Larry Tellez.

Court records show a John L. Tellez with an extensive criminal reord and also some traffice violations including DUI.

His DOB puts him 5 years older than PDL.

Any thoughts on this?

Hi Grande

I tried to send you a pm box you are filled up.. so I will post it here. I need to register a domain name for the website. I have thought up one and it's available. It would be helpfindthemissing.org Do you have any other suggestions?

#18 10-11-2007, 11:21 PM

I am really amazed and impressed how everyone is pulling together for this cause.

It makes me proud to be a fellow poster.

My email addy is tdbweb2003@yahoo.com. Let me know if you need anything from me to proceed. I look forward to working with you on this as I believe we can make a difference.

I just emailed Jamie's cousin hoping to get some more details. I WILL find someone that will provide us with more information it's just a matter of time.

Thank you! [/*]

OK.. we now have the website http://helpfindthemissing.org

I will have to go on my server and set up a database and everything for it, so if you click on it now it will just say page not found.

It will be the weekend before I can do much of anything on it. What I have in mind is to have a home page with a picture of each missing person. Then you can click on a pix and it will take you to individual sites for each one...

ETA... just a thought, but we can add a message board to the site if you want.

#20 10-12-2007, 10:59 AM

Good morning everyone..... just here looking through some stuff seeing if I can find anything out about jamie....

iluvmua · #21 10-12-2007, 11:05 AM

Hopefully somebody knows something about what really happened to Jamie.

Do they have any witnesses that might have any information about Jamie's where abouts?

Wouldn't that be wonderful grande? I think it's about time someone "spilled the beans" so to speak.

HarlettOhara · #23 10-12-2007, 03:02 PM

the link for the missing website is working.. http://helpfindthemissing.org I still have a lot to do to it, but have it started.

grande, I will get an email sent off to you later on tonight and you can give me your ideas for it.

HarlettOhara · #24 10-12-2007, 03:07 PM

Thanks FF... it's a start. Hopefully I can get a lot of it done this weekend.

Shells2 · #28 10-12-2007, 08:11 PM

Here is some good info regarding Heather and Jamie being tied together...

""I cannot give out names, but it is my understanding that the person of interest back then is the same person of interest in this [Jamie's] case. I have absolutely no idea how they are connected. I don't know the other people [Jamie's parents]. They [police] said they had a lot of similarities, and they got this key person that they believe was involved in both cases, and the similarities in the cases are just that. They are very similar. Other than that, we are in the dark as much as anyone else."

http://www.crimelibrary.com/news/ori...e_Harper4.html

It's a pretty good article!

Shells2 · #29 10-12-2007, 08:26 PM

I found an aunt of Jamies and have invited her here to post with us. I think any input at all would be very helpful...

I agree too.

From the article upthread I contacted someone who knew Jamie.
Jamie is an only child. Jamie's mom has 2 sisters and a brother.
Jamie had run away before, but for short periods of time and always came back. They don't think she would have just gone away with no contact at all.

I told her about this effort and invited her. [/*]

good deal.

this person in common with both cases is bugging me.

the 2 women disappeared roughly 10 years apart. they were roughly the same age at the times of their disappearences (19 and 20). that would seem to narrow the field of a poi in common to both cases.

Nothing too serious I hope, Brattnt.

#36 10-12-2007, 10:04 PM

and if i read correctly, also in common is "a party in rural Rantoul, Illinois ".

add that to the supposition of over 30.

grande,

I will be getting an email off to you in just a bit. I got involved in the board and setting it up. I still have a few things to do to it yet, but it's ready to go.
