the fact that the actual zodiac killer had to live with ted cruz taking his title for 3 years is by far the funniest and the only thing I'm taking away from all of this

Woman found injured but alive on a remote part of the Croatian island of Krk doesn't know who she is, but speaks fluent English (TW: for blood and facial injuries)

This is a developing story that is happening right now in my country and I thought it was my duty as somebody who has a slight platform to bring this up to the attention of as many people as possible. If we spread her image around the net, someone will hopefully be able to recognize her. I apologize in advance for any mistakes, as English is not my native language.

What we know so far: on Saturday the 11th, September of 2021, a local fisherman spotted a woman he didn't know on the rocks some distance away from a nearby popular beach. She didn't appear to be in bad spirits or in distress, and the area where she was at was not approachable to him by boat due to it being extremely rocky, but as she didn't call out to him he assumed she was just walking or relaxing there and paid it no mind.

However, the next day when he came back (Sunday the 12th), she yelled out to him asking for help in perfect English. As he could not get to her on his own due to the terrain making it impossible for him to dock there, he immediately called rescuers and a mission to save the unfortunate woman was underway. 12 members of HGSS Rijeka (Croatian alpine search and rescue organization) were dispatched to the scene and had to hike one mile to get to her.

They found the woman with some non-life threatening injuries, exhausted, dehydrated and disoriented. It was determined she spent the previous night there. She was unable to walk so they had to use a stretcher to carry her to the ambulance. She couldn't tell them who she was, as she could not remember and even today, over a week later, she can offer no answers to her identity and our police is asking the public for help.

The woman (and I can't stress it enough that I hate calling her 'the woman' because she has a name and identity and a life and deserves to be known as more than just "unknown woman found injured on the rocks") is estimated to be around 60 years of age, is of medium build, 165 cm tall, with blue eyes and blonde, short hair. I've seen it reported as shoulder-length but in the photos her hair looks a little shorter to me.

At the moment of discovery, she was dressed in a dark blue and white striped short-sleeve shirt with a hood, black Capri pants, white socks, dark blue and white sneakers and a magenta pick bucket hat. She had no ID or a mobile phone on her. The fisherman's wife who was also on the boat with him has said that they spoke in English and that to her it seemed that her accent could have been Scottish, but she wasn't sure.

I'd like to add that the fisherman should not be blamed for not helping her the day before, as she was not in distress, did not seem to be lost or injured from what he could tell and was not communicating with anyone nor asking for help, and only when he went back the day later, did she asked for help and make it known that something's not right. It's a good thing he went back because he likely saved her life.

She's currently still in the hospital in stable condition and recovering well, but the police are no closer to finding out who she is. Nobody knows how she got to where she was found or if there was any foul play involved, but there has to be somebody out there who knows who she is, that's why I implore you to share her photo wherever you can so we can help her reclaim her identity.

I'm including the photo of her face with the injuries she sustained because it's the only good photo of her we have right now, and of the rescue mission so you could get a better look at her clothes from when she was found.

In the end, I'd like to thank you all for taking your time to read this lengthy post and for caring about a woman you don't even know who needs our help.

-The Story Behind This Viral Witness Sketch-

On January 30, 2018, at 1:20 p.m., an unknown man impersonated an employee and robbed a small farmers market stand in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and the only solid lead police had was an amateur sketch of the suspect.

While the sketch may have appeared amateurish and cartoonish, it, along with the distinctive physical descriptors, jogged the memory of an investigator who provided a potential suspect name.

When the witness was shown a photo of 44-year-old Hung Phuoc Nguyen, he was positively identified as the robber.

Just a year later, the author of the viral sketch was revealed to be a local freelance graphic designer Jocelyn Park.

During an interview in 2019, she recalled that after Hung fled her attempts to stop him, she called the police and had drawn a sketch based on the details she remembered following the encounter.

As a witness, she offered what she calls a “refined” rough draft to police.

“It was never meant to be like the best thing in the world and you know, a realistic photograph, or a true police sketch, at all. It was just meant to jog my memory and I thought it might be helpful to someone else,” said Jocelyn.

Once the sketch was revealed to the public, it “exploded,” as Jocelyn describes it, on the internet.

“It’s not necessarily what I want to be known for, drawing the world’s worst sketch, but it’s a gift that’s been given to me,” said Jocelyn, with a laugh

They lie in clandestine graves strewn across the desert, mingled in communal pits, or hacked to pieces and scattered on desiccated hillsides.

Buried without a name, often all that’s left once their bodies are gone are the empty casings of a person: a bloodied sweatshirt, a frilly top, a tattered dress.

All over Mexico, mothers wander under the scorching sun, poking at the earth and sniffing for the tell-tale scent of decomposing flesh, hoping for a scrap that points toward their missing son or daughter.

For most, the answers never come.

A New York Times photographer documented their search, and in Chihuahua state, he photographed the clothing that was found with unidentified bodies and preserved by investigators.

“It’s a horrible uncertainty I don’t wish on anyone,” said Noemy Padilla Aldáz, who has spent two years looking for her son, Juan Carlos, who was 20 years old when he vanished after finishing his night shift at a local taqueria.

“If I knew he was dead, then I would know that he’s not suffering,” she said. “But we don’t know, and it’s like torture, that not knowing.”

Mexico is nearing a grim milestone: 100,000 disappeared people, according to Mexico’s National Search Commission, which keeps a record that goes back to 1964.

In a country wracked by a drug war without end, death can feel pervasive. Murder rates climb inexorably, now topping 30,000 a year. Macabre images of bodies strung up on bridges or tossed on roadsides as warnings appear on newscasts. Torture techniques get nicknames.

But disappearance can be the cruelest blow. It deprives families of a body to mourn, of answers — even of the simple certainty, and the consolation, of death.

The missing haunt Mexico’s collective memory, a crushing testament to the inability of government after government to staunch the bloodshed and bring criminals to justice.

“Disappearance is perhaps the most extreme form of suffering for the relatives of victims,” said Angélica Durán-Martínez, a professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell, and an expert on violence in Latin America.
