Family and Friends Report that Jaymie Ritchie's Body Found

Rumors that the body of Jaymie Christine Ritchey was found on the bluffs between Redway and Garberville have been confirmed on Facebook.  Close family friend, Elaine Olivias, posted on SoHum Awareness that Ritchey was found yesterday.  Numerous reports of sheriffs searching the area with a boat had been talked about throughout Southern Humboldt during the day.

Ritchey, a 41 year old woman from Redway, was last seen on October 20th, 2011 around 12:30 a.m. at the Brass Rail bar in Redway, California. Ritchey told a female friend she was with at the bar that that she was going to hitchhike to Garberville. Ritchey has not been seen or heard from since.

Requests into the Sheriff’s Dept. have not been answered yet over the long holiday weekend.  Thanks to those who worked long hours searching for our community member. May she rest in peace.

UPDATE: Times Standard has a bit more info.

UPDATE: No Foul Play Suspected at this time.

She was, i spoke with the feds myself. They were willing to rell me the details as i had important info. She was bound, beaten, and presumably raped repeatedly for the whole time she waz missing- as evidenced by the bruising, Blood pooling, its was believed that she was still alive with 36 hours of her body being flung over the bluffs from a Toyota truck. She may even have been alive when Brett dumped get

Jesus😳 did they catch the son of a bitch? This is the first I’ve been able to find any info on Jaymie, she was a good friend while I was in the Navy and my next door neighbor in Chula Vista! This makes me sad, some people deserve to burn in hell and I hope whoever did this gets that punishment for eternity whether he’s punished in this life or not.

You understand this is on the internet, right? You don’t have to post the exact details of everything that happened as her family will probably see this sometime. That’s stuff they shouldn’t have to see.🥺

This is so sad, to have her life cut short. My heart goes out to her family and friends.

I had always wanted to reconnect with Jaymie, she and I were neighbors while I was in the navy and we became good friends when my wife left me soon after Desert Storm. I knew her husband, Russell, as well, he was on the USS New Orleans, I was on the USS Tripoli, right across the pier from them. I am so sad to see how things turned out for her, she was someone special in my life. I wonder if I could still reach her good friend, Alannah. That might ease the pain a little bit.

You were going out to sea the last time Russell and I saw you in 1993…..

Your memory is a little off track. I met Russ & Jaymie when I got back from Desert Storm in November of 1991 and I was on the verge of an OTH discharge for fighting with my LPO which ended my enlistment around the time it was actually supposed to in February ‘92, but by 93 I was back home in Arizona recovering from my divorce to Monica and staying with my family until I could get back on my feet. Jaymie was friends with my ex wife as I was friends with Russ but we both gravitated toward each other as we were going thru some hard times and I will say I will never forget Jaymie even tho her and I never really were more than a fling. She taught me a bit about life and not letting myself be walked on which I appreciate but at the same time I think it was her downfall 😞 She was the kinda chick who would jump in a car with a dude she met at the bar within an hour just because she wanted to experience everything, and I think that she eventually jumped in the car with the wrong dude. 😞 I hope whoever did it suffers, if it was a matter of Jaymie partying too much then I guess it’s on her but if someone did this to her then they will pay the price. If not in this life then the next. But I have to say, when I met Jaymie, there was a Renee and a Julie, I don’t remember a Deirdra. If you’re using a screen name message me because I’d love to chat again. Despite the obvious situation I actually had no problems with Russ either and could chat with him again if he didn’t hate my guts lol. He wouldn’t actually be the first friend I have on my Facebook page that I met thru having an affair with their wife. 😳 Not to say I’m proud of it but this EXACT situation has happened to me twice in my life now. I’m friends with the husband of the girl I had an affair with who eventually passed on thru whatever means. Go figure.
