Femur of Missing Woman, Sheila Franks, Identified; Found Downstream of Where Danielle Bertolini’s Remains Were Located

The family of Sheila Franks, who was reported missing in early 2014, received news that DNA from a human femur found in June of this year near Loleta matched hers. And, according to a family members of another woman who went missing within about a week of Sheila, Danielle Bertolini, the remains were found downstream from where Bertolini’s skull was discovered.

Although so far the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office and the Fortuna Police Department haven’t responded to requests for information, family members of both of the two women who went missing within about a week of each other in early 2014 confirmed that Sheila’s femur was located.

“I spoke to Charlie, the Humboldt County [Coroner] to confirm the information that I received on my sister,” said Melisa Walstrom, Sheila’s sister who was told by her nephew. [We believe but haven’t been able to confirm this is Deputy Coroner Charles Van Buskirk.]

She wrote on a post speaking directly to her deceased sister on Humboldt Missing Five, a Facebook page, “The day has finally come and I am just as much of a wreck today as I was when I gave into the thought that you were missing, back in February of 2014.”

Danielle Bertolini

According to Teresa Budd, Danielle’s grandmother, “I was told…that Sheila’s femur was found downstream from Danielle’s.” Danielle’s skull was found near Blue Slide Road north of Rio Dell and Sheila’s femur was located not far from Loleta, according to some reports in the area of Crab Park.

Budd explained for the families of the missing women, the pain of not having justice makes life harder. “Every day it is a terrible thing we live with knowing the person of interest is running around,” she said.

Both Sheila and Danielle went missing from the Eel River Valley in Humboldt County. According to a quote attributed to since retired Lt. Wayne Hanson of the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Department in article in the Bangor Daily News from July of 2014, “Both women have blond hair and blue eyes, are similar in appearance and build, and travel in the same social circle….[They were last] seen with the same 43-year-old Fortuna man before they vanished.” But he also said, “That person of interest has been cooperative with us.” And, no arrests have been made in connection with the two women’s disappearances

However, Danielle’s grandmother said, “[While the identification of Sheila’s femur] was a shock but a blessing in disguise,..it gives me hope that they will get justice for the girls. Maybe people will get talking…”

My condolences to the families. I really hope you find justice someday. I’d hire a pro to follow the person of interest. It’s harvest time and someone new could be at risk. Maybe the person will slip up? Don’t count on the HCSO to solve sqwat. They couldn’t find their own tushy hole, if you asked them too. Their too busy busting marijuana grows and pocketing $!
Seriously though, watch the perp every harvest. Maybe one of these years he’ll slip and you’ll be ready!

Keyword : man.

Call me a man hater, but unfortunately every single damn day they give me countless reasons from assaults, rapes, robberies, and murder to despise them. Definitely the most evil of the bunch here on Earth. These women likely trusted and maybe loved their murderer. That is what is the most sick and twisted about these kinds of tragic crimes. They did not deserve what happened to them. I offer condolences to the family, and while I doubt it is possible , I do hope someone in law enforcement is paying attention to clues, statements by those closest to the women, and any forensic evidence. Please don’t quit on these women. They deserved better. It would be so awesome to live in a world where there wouldn’t be a significant risk that your male friend, lover , or spouse and father to your children might use u, abuse u and your pets, lie to you , threaten you, hit and shove you, cheat on you, rob you, and even take your life and toss you away like rubbish . That would be fuckin great . There is plenty of headaches in this life as a woman and mother without dealing with those risks . Ok Men. It’s on you now, to not be controlling, selfish, murderers. Thanks

Man hater. You asked and you got. You should never confuse the acts of a few with the nature of many. I’ve seen women behave in petty, mean and vicious ways too that, when they had the freedom of action that men have due to their physical strength, would just as full ugliness as humans are capable of being. Women can be jerks too.

The same boldness and strength that can be a danger to women can also be a life saver when it’s used to risk themselves to help others. A good person is a good person. So no, it’s not only on men “now, to not be controlling, selfish, murderers. ” It’s on women too to look to their own behavior as well as the other half of the population.

Guest, are you aware of the percentages of these behaviors? Are you aware that a woman has a 1 in 4 chance of being sexually assaulted in her lifetime? Are you aware that 1 in 16 women (average age 15) has her first sexual experience as RAPE.
If you pay attention to the numbers you would pretty quickly see that “man hater” is justified.

Doggo take a look at the spread in percentage of woen vs men who abuse or kill their children.
71% of Children Killed by One Parent are Killed by Their Mothers; 60% of Victims are Boys
And the percentage is way higher for women that abuse children than men.
Should we be women haters because of these stats?

Those stats don’t stack up. Maybe if you focus only on infanticide (which when committed by post partum mother is caused by mental/psychologicaflaws, ) it could possibly support that claim .

Take a gander at these stats representing the murder of children during divorce/breakup (absolutely the most dangerous time) 560 of the 700+ murders of minors reported nationwide here were committed by men. 80%!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jtEzeUCnloCO-q13LiRqpNLiUXJ5QG6woClpGopDaN4/edit?usp=sharing

Murders like these are linked to a CHARACTER FLAWS. And nothing like a mother dealing with the sometimes fatal consequences of post partum depression/psychosis.

Sheesh. I knew it would be too soon when some ninny defender of assholes would chime in with boohoo ” I’ve seen women behave in petty, mean and vicious ways too. ”
Classic . All anyone has to do is read the news ; it’s alarming the depravity of the male population.

“During divorce” is not a representative sample of family violence in general. Your willingness to write off abuse and deaths of children at the hands of mothers as all related to post-partum depression is ridiculous. It is no more a representative sample than during divorce. Your arguments are related to your own character flaw, Manhater2. I think we could be in functional agreement that you should have nothing to do with any men and no men should have anything to do with you.

Wow . First off I never wrote off ALL postpartum abuse simply pointed out the psychological/mental health aspect. A mother that murders her infant is not in her right mind. And the nationwide stats absolutely are a representative stat as the most lethal time in an abusive relationship is after a victim leaves.

More than 70% of domestic violence murders happen after
the victim has gotten out.

There’s more :

85% of domestic violence victims are WOMEN.

In the United States, more than 3 women PER DAY are murdered by their husbands or partners.

Approximately 4 million women suffer physical abuse by an intimate partner annually.

It is the most common cause of injury for women ages 18 to 44.

Your cheesy attempt to dump this back on me due to some imaginary character flaw of mine is useless. Men make these
bad choices, independent of any moronic personality trait of mine. Let’s keep the focus where it belongs.

These poor women had their corpses dropped in a stream bed! It’s horrific. And likely represents a murderous betrayal by a trusted man.

It’s just stupid to look at blaming 50% of the human population for their biology that is virtuous in some cases and dangerous in others. That’s like saying that being bipedal is resonsible for many dangerous falls and useful. Well yes it is but then again it allows for carrying tools and weapons, seeing trouble advancing and efficient long distance travel.

Men are much more likely to murder than women. They are also much more likely to be the person who saves a life like fire fighter, paramedic, surgeon, coast guard, etc.
Even in cases where a passerby saves a stranger.

Doing that is exactly like men who belittle women for being women. Who call women stupid because they are interested in different things, display emotion differently, have menses, can’t lift as much, etc while dismissing what they do as silly or of lesser value. Except of course when they do those things in the service of their husbands.

Guest – thank you for your well chosen words – “you should never confuse the acts of a few…” I am a woman and I agree with every one of them. Breakthesilence – I’m so sorry you were hurt so badly (yes, it is obvious). Your anger must be a heavy burden. You need to forgive if you ever want to heal. I hope you can do that.
You know, when my women friends start men-bashing, telling anti-male jokes, etc., I ask them how they’d feel if they were to overhear men saying these same mean-spirited things (pretty sure they don’t, btw, at least all the men I know wouldn’t). Why do women think it’s okay? My friends know not to go there with me. Men are my brothers and I won’t stand by silently while they get dissed as a group, any more than I would if the target was women. It really does go both ways. Always has, always will. Good and bad in everyone. Heroes and rotten apples in both sexes. As for judging by prison numbers – eh. That’s quite the can of worms. There’s longstanding bias in the justice system with respect to convicting women, as every judge, male and female, will tell you. Women may not commit as many violent crimes, not by a long shot, but women will sometimes get away with some pretty bad shit, receiving far lighter sentences, and rarely getting the death penalty, because they are women. Lizzy Borden really did do it, and they knew it, but they couldn’t bring themselves to find her guilty, because women “just didn’t do those things”.
Okay, having said my piece, I hope the focus will remain where it should, on cracking this case and bringing the murderer of these two beautiful young women to justice.

The stats speak for themselves . They exist Independent of my experience or choice to forgive, or not. And get off your fake throne; some things are just unforgivable and worthy of the spotlight. This is not about anyone’s upset or hurt, it’s not a rant rooted in a ” mean spirited “place; it’s about the blatant continual imbalance of power /control that literally costs women their lives every fucking day

How many men have their first sexual experience as rape? Just askin’
For women, it is 1 of 16.
Women have every right to fear men, and yet not all of us do.
If MEN treated abusers with the disgust & disdain they deserve perhaps women would give men more respect.
How often are women found to be serial killers, stalking, taking, raping, torturing and killing men? Any statistics?

When it comes to the violent criminal mind it’s subjective as to which sex has the most sneaky vindictive crazy murderous mind.
To claim it’s men is short sided and naive, or uneducated on the subject matter.
71% of Children Killed by One Parent are Killed by Their Mothers; 60% of Victims are Boys. That’s a huge percentage.
Also a lot of times when a woman is raped and/or murdered it’s by a male aided by his female companion.
Also when it comes to domestic violence against a spouse, violent acts by women to their male partner go unreported or somehow the charges get put on the man when it should have been put on the women.

You present some facts but not anywhere near all the facts. Indeed women kill less often but men kill men far and away more often than they kill women. That suggests that men do already select out women in their violence far more often then they focus their violence on women. Can it be improved so that few women ever have to fear violence from men? Probably but not by putting all the blame on men. It is a dilemma of society, not just of men. Reducing violence overall should be a start. Less violence could mean less women subject to violence although that’s not always true.

BTW there is one country where men and women are equally likely to be murderers. I can’tbcind any explanation for that but it is

I always was taught women were raised to be victims, remember how they were taught to just try and stay alive, while getting raped to not get the creeper angry. Know the tide is turning, let us pray and women are learning to fight back. I remember dating some awesome powerful (and yes I got dumped), she had a van driver try to get her in a van. She freaked out and started screaming “that’s my gun” and jumped at that freak and he took off and also got arrested on numerous charges. She said afterwards that creeps want a live victim, not some chick that wants eye butter under their finger nails. Anyway women use that inner strength and go Loca, remember women lift fucking tactor tailors to save their children, so some puck ass preditor with an erection should be easy pickings for fresh eye butter.

Wow i love the comment section because we really sometimes get to see the outright Misandry and hatred that so many women have towards men.
Lets look at national suicide statistics ? 80 PERCENT men.
Or autism rates 600 percent more likely to happen to boys. Where are the fundraisers to help the boys suffering? Why is no one speaking about autism rates 6 times higher among boys?

And why are so many women in this town walking around with a chip on their shoulder towards everyone with a penis?
I call it toxic feminism. Its a cancer that has not only destroyed the very feminine nature of a woman, now it has her aggressive and hateful to the male gender.

I feel it from some at the coop. The women at the title companies .
The passive aggressiveness crossing the street
Its not all the ladies here. Humboldt has some wonderful kind women as well.

But for reals more than half of you walk around with a friggin chip on your shoulder.

I didnt rape you. I didnt treat you badly when you where a child. If you were raped im very sorry for pain like most people are.

If you are going to live in our town.
Please be civil. Please dont let the cancer of anger effect and tear apart our amazing town and community.

Energy is real. You get what you put out. If you put out hatred to us we are going to dislike you back. We are all animals.

The focus keeps getting shifted to the victims , like oooh if women could just forgive, and love . No you see, that’s actually how the problem perpetuates . Most women are too nice, too forgiving ,too trusting for too long.

Humboldt co still has some of the most lenient CCW laws in California (due to remoteness and I will give props here, a tolerant and understandable sheriffs Dept). Woman are to more likely be giving a CCW license than a man. If you have been threatened or are concerned for your personal safety, apply! Get a gun that YOU feel comfortable shooting and go shoot it. I’m talking thousands of rounds. Get the CCW license and have that gun feel like an extension of your body.

“Men are afraid of being laughed at, women are afraid of being killed.”

No, I will not ‘forgive’ my abuser.

He assured me when I finally got the nerve up to leave him that he would ruin me.

He did. His pals at the courthouse made sure of it.

Humboldt County detectives traced the driver of the car that picked up Danielle Bertolini Brooks CA – Danielle Bertolini Brooks, 23, Fortuna, 29 Jan 2014. He also happened to be the jilted boyfriend of Sheila Franks CA – Sheila Franks, 37, Fortuna, 2 Feb 2014. Further investigation revealed that James Eugene Jones also knew Karen Mitchell Ca – Karen Marie Mitchell, 16, Eureka, 25 Nov 1997. LE also believes that two other disappearances are part of the same series: Christine Walters CA – Christine Walters, 23, Arcata, 14 Nov 2008 and Jennifer “Jade” Wilmer CA – Jennifer Wilmer, 21, Willow Creek, 13 Sept 1993. Consequently, they have dubbed Jones a Person of Interest, though not a suspect.

“Lets look at national suicide statistics ? 80 PERCENT men.”

Thinking about that stat. I think throwing that up in the face of women being victimized is not helping your cause

First off, how is anyone else liable to men that make up 80% of suicides nationwide?

What is suicide?
Suicide is just homicide directed inward.

So it is LOGICAL that men succeeed at murdering (themselves) more than women .

They are experts at it.

And idk..the autism stat is totally out of left field too. Is that a free pass to be an abuser? Or is that just all you got.

I like where + Perspective+ has taken the conversation. That’s what needs to get out there. Dateline or 2020 has an episode on Humboldt missing 5 , find it on YouTube.

Cmon HCSO !
Connect the dots!

It seems that the saying if you wana murder someone and get away with then do it in Humboldt county is true. I remember years ago a security guard at palco was at work and was murdered. That would seem that it should have been top priority but no,it was swept under the rug as usual.
These girls families have had to pay for any searches that have taken place. I always see other communities sticking by families that have had their loved ones murdered. The police many times calling for media conferences and the community many times having money pooled together to help the families but not here and not in this unfortunate situation. I’m truly sorry for this crap!
There are definitely more ppl that know what happened and I beg of anyone reading this that does know something to please come forward. Enough years have gone by and maybe you were scared then but you dont have to stay quiet. Do something about this before it gets worse and it will.

Her name was Sandy Coppini. She was a sweet woman who never hurt anyone except her abusive husband by divorcing him.

Also can everyone please stay one the subject and not argue over ever belief or opinion you have on here. It’s truly disrespectful and kind of ruins any chances of some comments that may even help this situation. Every bit of any information someone might even think could be related should be brought up now. Just get the info out and you dont even have to say who you are,….PLEASE!

It’s a comment section; pretty much free for all. And believe me if the slow minded detectives won’t even process dna rape kits and other forensic evidence they have in hand, or follow up on statements already made to them, they sure aren’t going to be digging thru the comments on news reports for clues. Please, is right .
