OFFICIAL RECORDS
NamUs UP Report #UP-189442 — Unidentified Female, Roane County TN
Official NamUs Unidentified Persons record for the Roane County recovery, containing forensic profile, recovery details, and agency contact.
Analyst Summary
Establishes baseline forensic profile for cross-referencing missing-person reports. Confirms recovery date, jurisdiction, and agency of record.
Caveats
- Profile reflects initial 2024 assessment; ancestry estimate is preliminary and may shift with Othram SNP data.
- Estimated death window in NamUs is broader than analyst-derived window from clothing context (see EV-00143).
Supports
- Subject is presumed female, 18–30 at death
- Recovery occurred 2024-11-19 in Roane County
- Roane County Sheriff's Office is investigating agency
Knoxville PD Missing-Person Report #2003-08-1142 — S. K., reported 2003-08-15
Knoxville Police Department incident report filed by family on 2003-08-15 reporting subject S. K. (initials only, pending family contact authorization) missing since 2003-08-14.
Analyst Summary
Identifies a candidate (S. K.) whose age, height, and reported healed wrist fracture align with the forensic profile. Last seen in Knoxville, ~70 km from recovery site.
Caveats
- Subject identifiers withheld pending family contact via the investigating agency — not via Sequenxa.
- Reported physical descriptors are family-supplied and pre-date dental records.
Supports
- Candidate CD-00231 raised on this evidence
- Geographic plausibility for Knoxville-origin subject in Roane County recovery
NamUs MP Cross-Reference — Female 18–30, Eastern TN / Western NC / Southwest VA, 1999–2009
Broader-radius NamUs Missing-Persons cross-reference against the SX-2025-0147 forensic profile, identifying candidate MP records for review.
Analyst Summary
Surfaces 14 candidate MP records; 5 were promoted into the candidate matrix (CD-00231 through CD-00235). Remaining 9 disqualified on date-of-disappearance, height, or geographic-distance grounds.
Caveats
- NamUs MP data quality varies by reporting agency; some entries lack height or dental records.
Supports
- Candidate matrix population is grounded in a documented, reproducible search
NEWS & ARCHIVAL
Knoxville News-Sentinel — "Hunters discover human remains east of Kingston" (2024-11-21)
Local news article reporting the recovery, with details on the wooded area, weather conditions, and initial sheriff statements.
Analyst Summary
Confirms recovery context — civilian discovery, location detail, and that recovery did not appear to be a primary disposition site (remains were partially scattered, consistent with secondary deposition).
Caveats
- Reporter relied on initial sheriff statements; details may have been revised in subsequent investigation.
- Article mentions "estimated 10–15 years" PMI — analyst window has since widened based on clothing.
Supports
- Recovery context suggests secondary deposition rather than primary burial
- Recovery site is approximately 4 miles east of Kingston
Greyhound Lines Public Timetable, Eastern Tennessee Corridor, 2001
Historical Greyhound timetable showing the Knoxville–Kingston–Crossville–Cookeville–Nashville route, used to evaluate the "transient subject" hypothesis raised by clothing context.
Analyst Summary
Confirms a regular regional bus route consistent with a transient subject hypothesis. Stop in Kingston, TN was a flag-stop in 2001.
Caveats
- The transient hypothesis is one of several; this source is supportive context, not confirmation.
Supports
- Hypothesis: subject may have been a transient passenger through Kingston in the early 2000s
GENEALOGICAL & HISTORICAL
NOAA Climate Data Online — Roane County, TN, 1999-01 through 2009-12
Historical monthly precipitation, temperature extremes, and severe-weather events for the recovery vicinity across the candidate death window.
Analyst Summary
Documents two significant flood events (2002 spring, 2008 winter) in the recovery vicinity that may have moved or scattered surface remains, supporting the secondary-deposition reading from EV-00142.
Caveats
- Climate data is descriptive, not causative — flood timing does not establish disposition timing.
Supports
- Hydrological conditions consistent with secondary deposition / scatter pattern observed at recovery
INTERNAL ANALYSIS
Clothing & Footwear Era Analysis — Sequenxa Derivation Memo
Internal analyst memo dating the recovered clothing and footwear to the late 1990s–early 2000s based on label-less denim cut, t-shirt fragment seam construction, and the canvas sneaker silhouette (US 7.5, no surviving brand mark).
Analyst Summary
Narrows the estimated death window to roughly 1999–2009 based on apparel construction characteristics.
Caveats
- Clothing dating is interpretive; older items can persist in circulation.
- Single-shoe recovery limits confidence; partner shoe was not recovered.
Supports
- Estimated death window: 1999–2009
- Subject was likely casually dressed, possibly outdoors-oriented
COMMUNITY / OPEN SOURCE (LOW GRADE)
The Doe Network — Similar-Case Index — Eastern TN Female Does, 1995–2010
Volunteer-maintained index of similar unidentified-female cases in the Eastern Tennessee corridor; used to detect overlapping patterns or prior misattributions.
Analyst Summary
Two adjacent cases reviewed; neither overlaps the Roane County profile. No misattribution risk identified.
Caveats
- Doe Network entries are not maintained by investigating agencies; treat as a navigational aid.
Supports
- No prior unidentified-female case in Eastern TN matches the SX-2025-0147 profile within ±5 years
Reddit r/UnresolvedMysteries — Thread Mentioning Roane County Recovery (2024-12-08)
Public Reddit thread speculating about the recovery; included for transparency and to demonstrate honest grading of weak sources.
Analyst Summary
Contains no novel investigative content beyond what is in EV-00142. Some speculative naming of unrelated cases by anonymous commenters — disregarded.
Caveats
- Treat all named candidates from anonymous online sources as inadmissible without independent corroboration.
- Surfaced here only to demonstrate that Sequenxa grades, retains, and contextualizes weak sources rather than excluding them silently.
