Skeletal remains found

Two hunters were looking for meat to put on their dinner tables, but instead stumbled upon a human skeletal remains Friday morning in Bryceville.

Nassau County Sheriff Tommy Seagraves said the hunters reported their finding around 7:40 a.m. The bones were found on Deep Creek Hunt Club property, located on County Road 119, roughly one mile from U.S. 301. Seagraves said the bones were found about 1.5 to 2 miles into the woods.

Whether the entire skeleton was there or not remains to be seen.

"They're actually still out there processing," Seagraves said minutes after sending out a press release Monday afternoon. "The way this process works, they have to take the layer of foliage all the way down to the dirt looking."

Though he did not wish to answer a question as to whether the remains were found in the shape of a person or scattered about, Seagraves did say that the area is being searched in a grid pattern that is about 100 feet in diameter.

Since the bones were discovered, NCSO detectives, the Jacksonville Medical Examiner's Office and a professor of anthropology from Florida Gulf Coast University have been canvassing the area, working all day Friday, Saturday and Monday. A ditch in the area contained a large amount of rainfall and was drained as part of the investigation. The area was guarded Easter Sunday.

The bones will be taken to the medical examiner's office for examination. There is not a set timeframe on how long it will be until the bones are determined to be from a male or female, child or adult.

The hunting club is fenced off with a gated entrance, but Seagraves said he did not believe someone would have carried the body out that far. He did not speculate further.

"I'm not sure exactly how it got there at this point," he said. "I'm sure (the investigators have) had some speculation I'd rather not put out there right now."

Later in the week, Seagraves told several media outlets the possibility of it being Jackie Markham's body was being examined. Markham, 52, was reported missing from her Spring Lakes Estates home at 1399 Hive Lane in Callahan Dec. 15, 2000. Jacksonville-based Cheetah Transportation employed her at the time of her death. The business is on the West Side of Jacksonville.

There are several other unsolved missing person cases involving Nassau County residents. Theresa Maynette Maxwell was 45 when she was last seen Dec. 28, 2002 at Patriot Rentals unit No. 7 on Testone Lane in Hilliard. Windy Gail Dudra Fox, who grew up in Callahan, has been missing since August 2006. Fox was last seen by her former fiancé at Ramona Flea Market in Jacksonville. According to reports, the two got into a fight and he told police he left with friends. Fox's family has not heard from her since. Fox was employed at The Pig BBQ at the time of her disappearance. The case remains open with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.

William "Terry" Raulerson was 40 when he was last seen Aug. 3, 2002. The Baker County resident's car was found parked outside of River Bend Hunting Club on County Road 121 in Charlton County. He was reported to be an avid hunter and a member of the club. He was 6 feet tall, 210 pounds at the time of his disappearance.

Two months later, Raulerson's co-worker, James Cornwell of Hilliard, reportedly shot himself when he saw deputies waiting for him outside his home. At the time, he was a suspect in Raulerson's disappearance, according to a 2002 story in the Record. The two were known to be avid hunters who frequented the woods together.

When asked if there was any speculation on whether the skeleton is the remains of any of the missing, Seagraves said, "We're not certain. Anything's possible at this point. We are looking at that possibility of anybody that could be missing from our area."

If anyone has information about the skeleton and how the unidentified remains ended up on the hunting club's grounds, contact the NCSO at 904-225-0331 or call First Coast Crimestoppers at 866-845-8477. Callers can remain anonymous. Seagraves said any information would be helpful and appreciated.

The following article can be a little confusing Note the article says Windy is missing three years ago today...article written aug 10. but in the text later on, it also says that she was last seen Aug 6 2000! I believe Aug 2006 is correct based on other articles, but the day is clearly still in question!

August 11: Mom searches for closure

By Amanda Bishop

After three years, Lynette Lanoux still waits for closure.

Her daughter, Windy Gail Dudra Fox, disappeared three years ago today.

"Her birthday's a bad day," the forlorn mom said, choking up as the grief swells up inside her while she talks. If Fox is still alive, she turned 46 July 11.

"I just want closure," Lanoux said.

Her daughter's former fiance was the last person to see her alive, when the two were at Ramona Flea Market in Jacksonville Aug. 6, 2000. The Callahan woman has been listed as a missing person with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office ever since.

According to reports, the two got into a fight and he told police Fox left with friends.

Earlier this year, Fox's mom thought that closure had finally come when two hunters in Bryceville stumbled upon what investigators believe is the skeleton of a Caucasian woman.

"I was totally shocked," Lanoux said of when she heard the news. She added that she immediately grabbed for the phone, unfortunately unable to get an answer that can bring the longed-for closure.

The skeleton had been sitting for some time, leaving little clue as to whom it belonged to. Dental records ruled out the possibility of their belonging to Jackie Markham, a Callahan woman who went missing in 2000. As far as Lanoux knows, there is still a chance those bones belong to her daughter.

"I just keep hoping and praying," she said.

Anthropologists have been assigned the task of reconstructing the skull's face in an effort to determine the person's identity. If that fails to draw any results, the skull can also be sent across country to a facility that can try to scrape DNA out from under the teeth of the skull.

Meanwhile, Lanoux still waits for answers, but feels confident she will learn something soon.

"Nassau County's got it, so that's a good thing," she said. "Nassau County and JSO's both working together now, so that's a good thing."

Fox graduated from West Nassau High School as Windy Dudra. She had relocated to Ohio, but moved back to Callahan after her husband died. She most recently worked at The Pig as a waitress, and lived with her grandmother, next door to her mother.

At the time of her disappearance, Fox had blonde hair and was 5 foot 4 inches tall and weighed approximately 170 pounds. She was last seen wearing a black shirt, blue jean shorts and white tennis shoes.

She has hazel eyes and a heart tattoo on her shoulder, with the initial G in it. She also has a scar on her neck from falling off a swing when she was 2 years old.

Anyone with information about Fox's disappearance, or who has had contact with her since, can contact Lanoux at 879-3997, or the JSO at 630-7292. To make an anonymous tip, call 866-845-8477.

Windy Gail Dudra Fox, who grew up in Callahan, has been missing since August 2006. Fox was last seen by her former fiancé at Ramona Flea Market in Jacksonville. According to reports, the two got into a fight and he told police he left with friends.

Her mother, Lynette Lanoux, is not convinced that information is accurate. For a July story in the Record, Lanoux said, "In my heart I know Windy, and if she could get to a telephone, she would call me or my sister unless she's got amnesia. My phone number's been the same for 18 years. She knew it by heart."

The case, which is still under investigation with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, remains unsolved.

Anyone with information can contact Lanoux at 879-3997, or the JSO at 630-7292. Anonymous tips can be made by calling 866-845-8477.
