Back in 2015 (i think) there was an anon posting on /b/ who said he enjoyed killing women and would reveal the identity of one if someone could guess the name of a victim correctly. subsequently he posted what appeared to be developed pics of different women, alive and dead. One of the pics was a graduation photo of a girl that was IDd by anons as Shauna Maynard. News articles stated she had been shot/dumped outside Las Vegas in 1998. Another pics showed a girl, known as "smiley girl" sitting on a bed–she was never IDd. Other pics showed a dead girl in a moving box (possibly with the writing "Jeffs Clothes"). Another pic showed a dead girl called "pager girl." There was some speculation that pager girl was Shauna but all evidence indicated this was not the case. It was thought the girl in the box may have been smiley girl based on similar clothing, build, skin tone. A barely visible pic showed a decomposed face that similar structure and hair to smiley girl. There was also a pic of a girl, "chopsticks," that OP said he had "played with."
The OP went silent for a while. He later posted pictures of a man, lying in bed, covered in blood. In one pic ("dying, dying") he appeared to be alive. In the next pic ("dead") he looked dead. There was also a pic of pager girl with her shirt pulled up exposing her bra. There was alot of speculation that this was a hoax, the main hypothesis being that someone had gotten ahold of some crime scene photos. The fact that the pictures appeared to show the man alive, then dead, did not support this however. The picture of pager girl, fully clothed initially, and then shirt pulled up to show her breasts in a sexually suggestive manner were not consistent with crime scence photos either. There was alot of discussion/investigation on /x/ but, other than IDing Shauna no other progress was made. Recently some new information came up. I dont know if it is legit or not.
The new info involves Smiley girl. I came upon this website
https://www.mayheminthedesert.com/traffickingIf you scroll down to the bottom there is an image of a newspaper article with the same photo of smiley girl. It says she was a prostitute (from minnesota originally) working in Las Vegas. Her body was found in the mountains east of LV. Her name was Margaret Hicks. If you look up the original article it does not have a pic (maybe because it is archived?). I couldnt find any other info on her. Apparently another woman, Melanie Kay White, was found dumped near her. I could find nothing about Melanie.
So I thought i would throw this out there. See if any anons can dig something up on this. Here are some links to the archived /x/ discussions. I think these were from the first round of photos. I will see if I can find the ones for the subsequent post.
