McDonald County Sheriff's Office identifies remains of woman found in abandoned house 31 years ago

(From the McDonald County Sheriff's Office)

Identification of “Grace Doe"

12-02-1990 Date of initial find for law enforcement.

 
Called to a scene on Oscar Talley Road of an old abandoned house in reference to a possible dead body. The people that called discovered a skull and called the Sheriff’s Office. At the scene a skull and remains of a badly decomposed body was located.

 
McDonald County Sheriff’s Office, Coroner’s Office, Missouri State Highway Patrol, Benton County Arkansas Sheriff’s Office, and the University of Arkansas anthropologists were all involved in the original crime scene.

 
A pathologist looked at the remains and estimated to be a white female in the mid to late 20’s.
Dental work was done and we had a dental record was charted by an orthodontist in Columbia, MO.

Lou Keeling was the Sheriff at the time and even with over 220 inquires, the case went cold after they could not figure out who she was and no other leads panned out during the original investigation.

 
“Grace’s” description was entered into the NCIC system as an Unidentified body along with eventually being in the NamUs system and the CODIS system. DNA was also put into the CODIS system and on file with the University of North Texas Center for Human Remains.

 
Sheriffs Schlessman, Evenson and Hall all worked on the case and/or had people that would work on the case through the years.

Det. Howard revived it in 2009 by bringing it back up to the forefront and getting the skull with a facial reconstruction expert and FBI Instructor. 

The expert was able to do a likeness of what she might have looked like using the photographsMRI film of the skull. Those pictures were put out and though there were several angles pursued, nothing transpired from those efforts. 

Det. Howard was told that it would be only by the “Grace of god” that we could find out who she was. After that the name “Grace” stuck.

From then to present, the Sheriff’s Office has had calls from people from coast to coast with ideas on who “Grace” might be. The Sheriff’s Office followed up on all of those and used dental records and DNA to exclude possible matches from all over the country. Deputies and Sheriffs kept looking over the binder and always looking for leads and following up on different avenues.

 
In September 2020, Sheriff Hall was contacted by Othram Inc. Othram and Sheriff Hall decided to use advanced DNA testing to identify “Grace." 

Othram was sent skeletal remains and they extracted DNA and then used Forensic-Grade Genome Sequencing to build a DNA profile that could be used to find distant relatives. The Sheriff’s Office and Othram used the DNASolves.com website to raise funding from the public for this case. 

Southeast Missouri State University Anthropology Department contacted us and wanted to study the skeletal remains of “Grace” and allow students to do learning and anthropological analysis. We allowed the analysis and study and Southeast Missouri State University Anthropology also helped help fund the casework.

In January 2021, the Sheriff’s Office received information from Othram Inc. that there were candidate relatives identified for “Grace”. These candidates were identified through genealogy research performed at Othram. 

Othram asked the Sheriff’s Office to contact candidate relatives. Lt. Hall went down the list and contacted Danielle Pixler who was on the genealogical tree developed by Othram. 

During the conversation, Ms. Pixler stated that she had a half-sister, Shawna Garber, that had been in foster care in Garnett, Kansas and then went back into state care. Danielle did not know what happened with Shawna after she left foster care. After Shawna left foster care, Danielle stated that she had been looking for Shawna for over 28 years.

In February, Danielle agreed to contribute a DNA sample and the Topeka, Kansas Police Department agreed to take a sample and send to Lt. Hall. The DNA sample was then forwarded to Othram for testing using a rapid familial test called KinSNPTM.

 
March 29, 2021 received a call from Othram saying that the DNA from Danielle Pixler was a match to “Grace” as a half-sibling. Shawna Garber was her only half sibling that is missing.

 
Grace has been identified as Shawna Beth Garber - born March 1, 1968.

The next steps for the Sheriff’s Office will be to try and see if we can trace the whereabouts of Shawna and what might have happened to her.

Cherokee County Sheriff warns of utility scam

(From the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office)

The Cherokee County Sheriff's Office wants to alert residents of an ongoing phone scam which has re-surfaced over the past several days.

"Thieves have been calling residents, fraudulently identifying themselves as a representative of an area utility company, telling the resident they have a past due bill. If the resident doesn't immediately go to a store to and purchase a 'money pack,' the residents' utilities will be immediately shut off," according to Cherokee County Sheriff David Groves.

"It's important to remember, if someone has a balance due with a utility company, they will receive notice by mail, but they will not receive a phone call with a demand for immediate payment through a gift card."

"As we have in the past, our office encourages any resident who receives an unsolicited phone call from anyone demanding immediate payment, regardless of who they claim to be or work for, to hang up and not provide any personal information," concluded Sheriff Groves.

National Weather Service offering Severe Weather Preparedness webinar

(From the City of Joplin)

This year the Springfield office of the National Weather Service is offering the webinar, “Severe Weather Preparedness 101” for the public to view on Tuesday, March 30 and Tuesday, April 6. The webinar is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on both days.

Viewers will learn more about NWS severe weather forecast products, forecasting approaches, science, sending reports, and how to prepare for the upcoming Spring season.
Citizens can for the webinar at the link below. Please choose which date you will be viewing the webinar when registering. https://www.weather.gov/media/sgf/Outreach/SevereWeatherPreparedness101WebinarRegistration.pdf.

Note: These webinars may be postponed on short notice due to active weather. NWS will communicate these changes via their website and social media channels.

Website: weather.gov/springfield
Twitter: @NWSSpringfield
Facebook: US National Weather Service Springfield Missouri
YouTube: youtube.com/NWSspringfield

Cannot make these dates? Recording will be available on YouTube. Visit our webpage and follow us on Twitter. The class is open to anyone who wishes to attend. There is no charge, nor is there any need to pre-register. A representative from the Springfield Office of the National Weather Service will present interesting weather information for this area.

As the storm season begins, residents are encouraged to have a plan for where to seek shelter during severe weather. They should also have an emergency supplies kit packed with bottled water, non-perishable foods, necessary medications, a flashlight, batteries and a first aid kit.

“Another tool that will help community members be prepared for emergencies is an all-hazards NOAA weather alert radio,” adds Emergency Manager Keith Stammer. “These programmable radios operate on electricity with battery-backup. They can be programmed to receive information for only the counties and topics of interest to the user. They carry alerts and information on severe weather, missing children, public health emergencies, civil emergencies and more.”

The radios can be purchased at local retailers. For more information on preparing for emergencies, go to the Joplin-Jasper County Office of Emergency Management website at http://www.joplinmo.org/221/Plan-Prepare
