Funds for the marker were made by the Vidocq Society. They are a group of forensic experts who try to piece together cold cases, just like this one.

To summarize, one key lead which was a “runaround” and became a dead end was based upon the fact that I believed “M”’ s last name was Fox. For whatever reason, that surname was what I recalled when examining photographs of her family which were tucked away in one of the evidence boxes sent to me from Tom Augustine in November 2006. Apparently that was incorrect. I shared this with Joe McGillen about one year ago and he confirmed that I was wrong and he would not divulge the real name because of the promise he, Kelly, and Augustine made to “M” back in May of 2002 (when they met her in Cincinnati) . . . that her name would remain secret from the public.
