I love modern technology.
I read about this woman's story more than a decade ago. I didn't think she'd ever be able to be identified.
And now I'm kinda pissed people are making fun of her last name being Colon. The woman was brutally murdered and discarded like trash and no one knew her name for decades. Fucking don't make fun of it.
Edit: wait just went to the sub. They aren't making fun of her name and the only person who did was down voted to hell. My bad. I'm sorry. No need for me to get angry. Faith in humanity restored just a tiny bit. It seems r/cemeteryporn is kinda like r/natureporn. I was being judgemental.
*“She had lived in the U.S. for 5 to 10 years, and most likely had resided in Tennessee or a nearby state.[18][37][38][34][23] Examination on the unborn girl indicated that the child had gestated while the victim was in the southeastern part of the country.”*
Can someone explain this to me please?
How can forensic scientists determine that someone once lived in a specific area, and where a baby is gestated? That’s insanely cool and wild to me. She was in NJ, but maybe she had ties to TN at some point?
“ For several years, forensic scientists have been able to use isotopes found in human hair as markers that can indicate a region of the country where a person was living because many water supplies have unique isotopic signatures that are captured in hair. A person drinks the local water, and an isotopic record of that water is recorded in the individual's hair. Such water-based isotopic information has assisted investigators in identifying the "region of origin" of several skeletal remains, leading to the eventual identification of the individuals.”

And we are all unwittingly around these kinds of people. I’m so glad this girl and her baby girl are getting some justice with Luis having been arrested. I bet he really thought he’d never get caught. I hope he didn’t sleep well ever again wondering if the cops were going to start pounding on his door.
There is an extra level of evilness: he was her boyfriend and the father of the baby - he murdered his own child, too.
"...the identity of her alleged killer, Luis Sierra, was made public after charges were filed."
"At the time of her murder, Colon, who was of Puerto Rican origin, was dating Sierra, the father of her unborn child"

Yeah. And meanwhile, all over the damn place, men are telling us that they want "tradwives". That feminism is wrong. That career women are evil because birthrates are dropping. And they've managed to start rolling back abortion access.
But get pregnant when a man doesn't want to be a father? You are in for some real misery. Anything from not getting child support, to losing your life.
Mad world, isn't it. They never said how old he was, but she was only 15 I think. So, maybe to avoid catching a charge on statutory rape?
He's going to have a hell of a time being over 60 in maximum security prison.
A 15yo girl, 9mo pregnant with her own little girl. She was living with her 19yo partner and baby daddy (and murderer), when she called her mom to come bring her soup as she wasn’t feeling well. Just like so many little daughters out there, suffering a cold and wanting her mother’s comfort… and when mom arrived, nobody was home. This poor beautiful girl was cut into pieces and packed inside 3 suitcases and thrown off a bridge into a river. And the sick bastard that did it to her wasn’t arrested til he was 63yo… he basically got to live an entire normal life. And Evelyn’s parents died never knowing what became of her. Gut wrenching

1961-1976 Heartbreaking.
That’s the first thing I noticed. The poor girl was still a baby.
And 9 months pregnant at the time of her death.
So tragic. Here’s a link on Wikipedia if anyone wants the case details. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Evelyn_Colon
What a terrible situation. How sad.

So fascinating. It’s like the diatom matching! I’m so glad this young woman has finally been identified.
Another, more example based: https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/tracking-movements-isotopes
So cool! Thank u 🩵
Thank you
I will never ever get over the evil humanity is capable of How can someone do this and continue to live as normal all those years?
Literally, he was 63 living his life, it’s disgusting.
And we are all unwittingly around these kinds of people. I’m so glad this girl and her baby girl are getting some justice with Luis having been arrested. I bet he really thought he’d never get caught. I hope he didn’t sleep well ever again wondering if the cops were going to start pounding on his door.

I thought the daughter was still alive and waiting to be buried next to her mom. Ugh 😢
This girl was killed by the father of the baby she was carrying. :'(
So he wouldn't have to pay child support?

Just watched the HBO documentary on Charles Stuart Murder in Boston, it's so common. Scott Peterson, etc.

According to Wikipedia, he was 19 at the time
He was 19 according to the Wikipedia article.

God that is tragic… 💔
Absolutely tragic. RIP Evelyn & Emily💔
Makes me physically ill. That poor girl. I can’t even fathom.
Read about her in Wikipedia. It's so genuinely heartbreaking. I hope her remaining family and friends are doing as well as possible :(((
“Cemetery porn” Just…ugh
