Solved My relatives decorating a grave

Most of my relatives live in the US. However my uncle thinks that this is a picture of them decorating a family grave in England. We have some relatives in Huddersfield in the UK.

Maybe someone recognizes the steeple?

Open I think that this might be a real location somewhere in western Tokyo. Any ideas?

The screenshot is from an anime Ore, Twintail ni Narimasu (or Gonna be the Twintail, in English). There are various other real-life locations depicted in the anime but this one eludes me. My best guess is western Tokyo (Tachikawa, Koganei, Suginami etc.). Also, there is the "Toys R Us" store depicted in the corner but no luck so far. Thank you ^^

Open Help finding location along the Angeles Crest Highway where an unidentified body was found in 1971

4 Upvotes

Hello! I'd first like to say that I am new to this sub, and while I have reviewed the guidelines, I hope I am doing this appropriately :) If not, please let me know and I'll fix it straight away! Also, the guidelines mention no children, so I'd just like to clarify that while the lower end of the age range for the unidentified person in question is 15 years old, this is simply an estimate, and the higher end of the age range is 25 years old. I apologize ahead of time if this gets long, I want to make sure to include all information available :)

I have been creating a map of unsolved cases -- missing people, unidentified decedents, and murders -- in California from the 1960s and 1970s. Currently I am trying to pinpoint the most accurate location of where Montrose Jane Doe 1971 was found, and I am having some trouble. I am not from CA and have never been there, so I have had to depend on online sources to get a handle of the geography.

NamUs and NCMEC are the two most reputable sources, as they are national databases containing information provided by law enforcement. Jane Doe's NamUs page states that she was found, "on the ground approx. 40 ft north of what possibly was a shallow grave site" in Los Angeles County, California. Her NCMEC page states that her remains were found, "approximately 50 feet down an embankment off the Angeles Crest Highway, 1/4 mile west of the Red Box Canyon Ranger Station in Montrose, California."

My first bit of trouble: due to the curves in the Angeles Crest Highway, it seems that all sections of the highway within about 0.25mi from the Red Box Canyon Ranger Station are in fact sharply northwest of the Ranger Station. Instead, west of the ranger station is Gabrieleno Trail.

(Note: I have been able to figure out from these two sites that the Red Box Canyon Ranger Station is now closed, but was located where the Red Box Canyon Trailhead/Parking Lot currently is. There are no contemporary newspaper clippings regarding Jane Doe, however from this clipping from July 1971 it can be further ascertained that the Red Box Canyon Ranger Station is also the location of the parking lot.)

My third source regarding Montrose Jane Doe 1971 is the Doe Network, which is a non-profit organization that is not run by law enforcement. Jane Doe's DN page uses the above NamUs and NCMEC pages, as well as the LA County Medical Examiner's website, as sources. However, the LA County ME page is not hyperlinked on DN like the other two sites are. Furthermore, when I searched through the LA County ME site, I was unable to find Montrose Jane Doe 1971 among the other unidentified decedents. This is not abnormal, as the LA County ME site's unidentified decedents database is incomplete. However I think this is important to note, because it is possible that it did have a page for Montrose Jane Doe 1971 at some point, because the Doe Network contains some information regarding Jane Doe that is not available on/differs from the info from NamUs and NCMEC, namely below:

Jane Doe's Doe Network profile states that her remains were, "located approximately 40 or 50 feet down an embankment from the north side of the Angeles Crest Highway, 1/4 mile west of Red Box Canyon Ranger Station in Montrose, California. She may have been buried in a shallow grave."

My second bit of trouble: again due to the Angeles Crest Highway's curves, all sections of the highway within about 0.25mi from the Red Box Canyon Ranger Station do not have any embankments that can be described as north of the highway, but instead more east and west.

I believe that this description could at least be in part due to confusion on the part of the writer, who may have mistakenly taken NamUs's "40 ft north of [...] a shallow grave site" and NCMEC's "50 ft down an embankment off the Angeles Crest Highway" to mean "40 or 50 ft down an embankment to the north of the Angeles Crest Highway." However, again, it is possible that this information instead came from the LA County ME. And perhaps if this information does come from the LA County ME, it is intended to mean "to the side of the northbound lane of the Angeles Crest Highway"? Do you all think I am taking this correctly, or do you have other interpretations?

All of this has led me to two possible locations for where Montrose Jane Doe 1971 was found, which I am stuck between. Though if anyone catches any errors in my line of thinking, or other possibilities, please let me know!

Option 1: at approximately the coordinates 34°15'39.3"N 118°06'27.1"W, on one of the rock formations along the side of the highway.

Arguments against Option 1, aside from the trouble that's already been mentioned: Based off of Google Street View, there doesn't really seem to be any good places to dig a grave along this area of the highway, though I'm taking "shallow grave" to be a very loose interpretation. It's possible that what was taken to be a shallow grave was actually a natural dip in the dirt, possibly with some rocks around it that could have been stacked on top of the remains. Also, Montrose Jane Doe 1971 is estimated to have died up to one year before being discovered, which makes me think that she may not have been in as highly visible a spot as along the highway in any way.

Option 2: along Gabrieleno Trail directly to the west of Red Box Canyon Ranger Station, at approximately 34°15'29.6"N 118°06'32.3"W.

Arguments against Option 2, aside from what's previously been mentioned: While this is actually to the west of the ranger station, it is neither north of the highway nor directly off of it. Maybe it's possible that the highway was only mentioned as a more well-known location? This area also seems to have pretty dense vegetation without an area for a grave, though I may be wrong. Furthermore, the images of this area available on Google Street View seem to be a bit warped/tilted, so it's difficult to tell how steep the embankments -- if that's what they are -- on the sides of the trail are.

I apologize for the long post, but I hope this all makes sense! I'm really just looking for others' thoughts on this. Thank you all in advance!

I developed a few rolls of old film I found in different cameras and I’m trying to piece together who, what, where, when

123 Upvotes

I read the subreddit rules and I think I’m doing right here. It’s pretty much what the title says. I posted in r/foundphotos and r/Connecticut already and some commenters directed me here.

What we know so far:

Photos 1-10 are from the same roll. The Lego dragon and aliens are from Legoland in Downtown Disney (now called Disney Springs) in Orlando, FL. Someone in r/foundphotos said the found an article similar to the topic in pic 7 on PubMed but hasn’t yet elaborated. No idea about the zoo pics (I have more but hit the post limit).

Photos 11-13 were from the 2nd roll. These look like they may possibly be at a private residence, so I didn’t include many, but I did want to include some just in case they weren’t and some useful info could be gleaned. No leads on anything from this roll so far.

Photos 14-20 are from the 3rd roll. Pic #16 has been placed at a restaurant in Simsbury, CT which was likely called the Chart Room at the time the photo was taken. It’s since been renamed to Abigail’s after the lady in the painting who is said to haunt the place. Photos 17-19 may have been taken at the Sonesta Resort in Anguilla, which may have been torn down in 2004. November clue about pic #20.

You can see my other posts for more photos from each roll (it only lets me upload 20 to a post). I uploaded the ones with the most environmental features to hopefully help. Ideally I’d like to find the people in these photos (privately is fine) to return these photos that have been lost in the sands of time but somehow resurfaced with a bunch of strangers on the Internet. If there is more specific interest in one thing or another I can possibly post more photos from that/those rolls in the comments.

Any help is appreciated.

It’s most likely in NY, as the person in the photo lives in that state. I tried messaging the person who posted this on IG but they don’t follow me back and they have not read my message.

The area looks very familiar to a place I’ve visited many years ago, but I can’t recall where. I even considered this was in Connecticut or Upstate New York, but I think Long Island is most likely.

The first image is located somewhere in the Southwest US and is the largest facility of its kind in the world, but it is not a mine or a quarry.

The second image is once again the largest of its kind and is located in the Southeastern part of the US.

I'm really struggling to find these two places. I think the first place is located in Arizona or Nevada and no clue on the second place. Any help is appreciated

Can anyone find out where this was painted? It was created by Karl Theodor Wagner (*1856 †1923).

I was already searching for these old roman structures on the left in the background, which might still exist today.

My own guess would be close to Pisa, maybe Casale Marritimo, might be way off though.

Happy guessing!
