THIS CASE HAS BEEN SOLVED - AZ JANE DOE 0042 IDENTIFIED AS TAWNI LEE MAZZONE! IDENTIFIED AUGUST 2008
Updated information on the status of this case and how it will be treated by police will be listed here as soon as it becomes available.
UPDATE:
Lancaster had uncovered Walker's real name after tracking down the other person in the Cadillac that night in January 1999: Spokane, Washington resident Lindsey DeJong, who hadn't been charged.
DeJong repeated a story similar to what she'd told police in 1999 — that the young girl, whose name she allegedly couldn't remember — had leapt from the Cadillac on the freeway after Walker wouldn't pull over and let her out.
"Based on what [DeJong] told me, I believe that Walker was trying to turn Tawni into a prostitute and that they were on their way to a truck stop in Eloy or someplace near there," Lancaster told New Times on Sunday. "Lindsay said she tried to grab her by her feet, but she just went out the window, and William wouldn't stop to help her. It was a very cold-blooded act on his part. She was just a piece of meat to him." (Police had stopped the Cadillac on I-10 about 20 miles east of the tragic scene after passersby called in.)
William Walker waived extradition from California to Arizona, to await disposition of his 1999 probation-violation case. He did so just days before the dizzying series of events that was about to end with the formal identification of 99-305.
Walker is being held without bond in the Pinal County Jail.
