Missing pregnant woman Trudie Hall may have 2 husbands *found deceased*

[Valasca]

Police in Massachusetts are investigating the mysterious disappearance of Trudie Hall, a pregnant Nantucket woman who has been missing for almost a month. Media reports suggest Hall may have been married to two men and leading a double life, but those who know her best say all that matters is getting her home safe.

"It has really been a very treacherous experience for all concerned," the family pastor, the Rev. Donovan Kerr, told AOL News. "We are just waiting right now for the detectives to release whatever their findings are."

Police describe Hall, a 23-year-old native of Jamaica, as black, 5 feet, 4 inches tall, weighing 160 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. She was last seen July 27, when she left her Nantucket home for a doctor's appointment scheduled for the next day on Cape Cod. Hall spent the night at Bayside Resort in West Yarmouth, but vanished sometime before her appointment.

Police in Massachusetts are investigating the mysterious disappearance of a pregnant Nantucket woman. Trudie Hall, shown in this undated handout photo, was last seen July 27.
Hall's mother, Vivienne Walker, said it was out of character for her daughter to take off without notifying someone.

"She would never disappear like that," Walker told AOL News. "She was four months pregnant and that's the sad part."

Three days later, the 2009 Toyota Avalon rental car Hall was driving was found abandoned in West Barnstable, roughly three miles from the facility where she had scheduled her appointment.

The Cape Cod Times, citing police sources, reported that blood and bullet casings were found inside the vehicle; however, officials will neither confirm nor deny those reports.

"I don't confirm anything that's in any newspapers," Cape & Islands District Attorney Michael O'Keefe told AOL News.

Upon finding the vehicle, investigators launched an extensive ground and air search for Hall, but were unable to locate her.

Walker said her daughter came to the U.S. from Jamaica when she was 12. She attended high school in Nantucket, was very active in church and worked for a local bank.

"She's a very nice person," Walker said. "Very helpful, very thoughtful and is always running around trying to help in areas that she can. She's a bright young lady and whatever she puts her hand to, she always comes out well."

In the weeks that followed Hall's disappearance, The Times uncovered probate records from Barnstable and Plymouth counties, which allegedly show Hall was married to two men. She reportedly married Doucet McDowe, 31, of Jamaica in April 2009 and Ram Rimal, 41, of Nepal, roughly six months later.

Hall had scheduled an appointment with a divorce attorney, but she disappeared two days before the appointment, the newspaper reported. It remains unclear which of the men she was planning to divorce.

A roommate of Hall's, who did not wish to be identified, told The Nantucket Inquirer and Mirror that she believed Hall was also married to a third man.

Hall's mother declined to comment on her daughter's alleged marriages, but in an interview with Boston news station WBZ, she said she was unaware of either marriage.

"I know my child, she's very secretive. And I'm just sorry that I didn't get deeper into her secrets even more. I have to live with that regret," Walker said.

Walker also told the news station that another woman had been threatening her daughter because of her pregnancy. "Get rid of the baby or you'll get a gunshot," is one of the threats Walker claims her daughter received.

In yet another twist to the bizarre case, WBZ reported that police believe the father of Hall's unborn child is a Centreville, Mass., man named Quiozel Wilson. The CBS affiliate also reported that police recently conducted a search of Wilson's home, during which they seized several items, including a car and motorcycle.

Attempts by AOL News to reach McDowe, Rimal and Wilson were unsuccessful.

Earlier this month, Rimal's attorney, Michael Wilson, told the Boston Herald that his client was with Hall at the Bayside Resort in West Yarmouth on July 27.

"The last time he saw her was when he went to sleep at night," Wilson told the newspaper. "He didn't see her the next day, and doesn't know where she went."

This is really bizarre.

Trudie Hall, the 23-year-old pregnant woman missing since late July, married at least three different men to get them legal immigration status in the United States in exchange for large amounts of cash, according to her former roommate.

Hall allegedly accepted $20,000 from Ram Rimal, a Nepalese landscaper who works on Nantucket, in exchange for her hand in marriage, according to the person who briefly lived with Hall and asked that their identity remain anonymous. The roommate also believes Hall may have accepted cash from another man, but never went through with marrying him.

“One of them, she didn’t go through with, she took the money but she didn’t go through with it,” the person said. “She was doing that to help them to get their papers, for them to be legal in the country.”

The roommate believes Hall is still alive, despite reports that blood and bullet fragments were found in her rental car on Cape Cod following her disappearance.

“She always talked about going to Florida, and I think she’s trying to stay away and hide,” the roommate said. “After everything that came out about three marriages and the money, she ain’t going to come back.”

Hall would stay in her room, chatting on the phone or surfing the Internet, and was generally quiet, the roommate said of the few months they spent together in an island apartment. Rimal was never at their apartment, said the person, who claimed to have seen the Nepalese landscaper with Hall on only two occasions at a Nantucket hairdressing business.

Crazy.

The roommate believes Hall is still alive, despite reports that blood and bullet fragments were found in her rental car

So she faked her death and disappeared to Florida according to her roommate? I don't even know. The roommate probably killed her for the money. She seems to be the one who has the most info.

HYANNIS — An SUV and a motorcycle seized as part of the investigation into Trudie Hall's disappearance were returned to their owners earlier this month.

But the rented Toyota Avalon that Hall, a pregnant 23-year-old Nantucket resident, reportedly drove the day before she vanished on July 27 remains in police hands.

Technically, Hall is still considered a missing person, but police sources have said they believe she is dead.

Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O'Keefe confirmed Monday that the vehicles taken from Quoizel Wilson's home in Centerville were returned on Sept. 9, nearly a month after they were taken to the Barnstable police station for examination. The police believe Wilson is the father of Hall's unborn child.

Hall disappeared from the Cape on July 27 after telling her mother Vivienne Walker that she was going to Hyannis for an appointment. According to her mother, Hall was four months pregnant at the time of her disappearance. Jane Haist, a family friend, told the Nantucket Inquirer Mirror last week that Hall was expecting a son.

The police have never named Wilson as a suspect in this case. Nor have they ever said what led them to search his home, which he shares with his wife and their young daughter at 259 Great Marsh Road.

Wilson declined a request for an interview yesterday and referred questions to his attorney, Robert J. Galibois, who said, "At an appropriate time I will issue a statement on behalf of the family. Now is not that time."

Wilson, a former Nantucket resident, was one of several people listed as a "friend" on Hall's Facebook page. He and Hall's family attended the same church on Nantucket, according the congregation's pastor.

Records show that in 2009 Hall married two men within a six-month period in what officials believe was an immigration scam.

On Aug. 5, during a search of Wilson's Centerville home, the police seized a white Nissan Armada registered to his mother, Ruby Lee Miller of Rosedale, Miss., and a Ducati motorcycle registered to Wilson.

Generally during a criminal investigation, the police can seize potential evidence if they have a search warrant or the permission of an item's owner. If the police deem an item has no further investigatory value, it is more often than not returned to the owner even if an investigation is continuing.

It was Galibois who called the district attorney's office to nudge law enforcement to return his client's property.

Law enforcement sources have told the Times that bullet casings and blood were found inside the rented Toyota when it was found off Route 6 on July 30, two days after Hall was reported missing. The police will not say specifically where the car was found.

O'Keefe will not say what, if anything, was found inside the rental car. Sources close to the investigation who verified there was blood in the car have declined to tell the Times whether it matches Hall's blood type.

HYANNIS — The search for the person who killed a 23-year-old Nantucket woman last year is far from over.

Vivienne Walker, whose daughter Trudie Hall disappeared after coming to Hyannis from the island on July 27, has hired a private investigator who is working closely with state police on the case.

Help sought

The new phone number for anyone with information on Trudie Hall's disappearance is 617-849-2727.
Hall's body has not been found but police sources and Walker have said it is clear she is dead. Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O'Keefe has so far declined to call the investigation a murder case.

A message left with his office Friday was not returned.

"We just want to let people know that the investigation is still going on," Walker said Thursday during an interview at a Hyannis hotel. "It's a murder case. Trudie is not in Florida or alive anywhere."

Friends of Hall's have said she fled the area, but that's not true, Walker said.

The family continues to offer a $15,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for Hall's death, said Al Manzello, the private investigator hired by Walker.

Because it is an active murder investigation, Manzello said he cannot release much in the way of new information other than to say that Hall's death was in no way connected to her simultaneous marriages to two men, which sources say was likely an immigration scam.

"They have nothing to do with it," Walker said of the marriages. "That was just to throw the investigation off."

Manzello, a licensed private investigator in California, said he has spoken to two "persons of interest" and intended to speak to two more.

The thrust of the investigation is the continued search for Hall's body and, if it can be found, testing of DNA and other forensic evidence, Manzello said. He added that the likelihood of finding a body at this point is "questionable."

Still, Manzello said he has solved missing persons cases after longer periods, including one case in California that was resolved after four years.

Hall was last seen July 27, 2010, at a hotel in West Yarmouth where she stayed with one of two men she had married in 2009. On July 30, the police found blood and at least one bullet casing inside the Toyota Avalon Hall rented after arriving in Hyannis, according to sources close to the investigation.

The police conducted several searches of the area around the Route 6 commuter lot at Exit 6, where the car was found, and of woods in Barnstable.

Within a week, investigators zeroed in on a Centerville home owned by Quoizel Wilson and Donna McKenzie Wilson. The police seized a motorcycle and an SUV from the property along with other items carried away in brown paper bags. The last of the property seized from the home was returned to Wilson last month.

Wilson, 32, who police sources say is the father of Hall's unborn child, was questioned the same day at the Barnstable police station, but he was released after several hours.

Wilson is a former U.S. Marine who worked on Nantucket as a manager for the island's regional transit authority. He pleaded guilty in 2009 to charges that he stole $8,000 from the authority's fare boxes and that he failed to properly store a loaded gun found in his car.

In addition to hiring Manzello, Walker has posted more than 100 fliers from Falmouth to Barnstable. She hopes somebody who saw something between the time her daughter came to Hyannis and the time her rental car was discovered will come forward, she said.

The family is planning a remembrance of Hall on the anniversary of her disappearance and is in the process of establishing a college fund in her name, Walker said.

"She was a good student," she said. "She was a brilliant girl."

A year ago today, Vivienne Walker was just beginning to grapple with the disappearance of her 23-year-old daughter.

"It was not a robbery or a runaway because she's not like that," Walker said only a day after her daughter, Trudie Hall, vanished last year during a trip to Cape Cod from her home on Nantucket.

The events that unfolded over the weeks and months that followed appeared to bolster Walker's motherly intuition.

Hall was four months pregnant with the child of a married man with a criminal record, whom the police would question and whose home they would search extensively after her disappearance. The young Jamaican woman was married to two other men at the time, according to documents obtained by the Times, an arrangement that sources and her roommate said was part of a fraud to help her husbands secure their citizenship.

A car Hall had rented in Hyannis was found at a commuter lot in West Barnstable with blood, bullet casings and other evidence inside that pointed to foul play, according to law enforcement sources.

Those sources and Walker have said they believe Hall was murdered. Despite intensive searches of woods in Barnstable and surrounding areas in the days and weeks following her disappearance, Hall's body has not been found.

As the already limited flow of details surrounding what might have led to Hall's disappearance has petered out, however, Walker holds out hope that her daughter will be found.

"It remains the same," she said this week about the status of the investigation.

Walker has increased a $15,000 reward to $20,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for Hall's death.
[...]

The case is being actively investigated by Barnstable police and state police assigned to the Cape and Islands District Attorney's Office, District Attorney Michael O'Keefe said Friday.

"This is not a situation where the police have run out of things to do and are just waiting for a piece of information to develop," O'Keefe said.

O'Keefe again declined to characterize Hall's disappearance as a murder case, a stance he has steadfastly adhered to throughout the investigation.

"It's an investigation into the disappearance of Trudie Hall," he said.

Although he would not say whether any developments in the case were imminent, O'Keefe made one of his strongest statements about the investigation so far: "I am confident that this case will be solved."
[...]

Walker wonders why Hall's friends have not come forward with information.

"Her friends that she used to go to the club with all the time; what about those people?" she said. "Nobody has come forward and said nothing about her."

What about the woman who Hall was supposed to go shopping with the day she disappeared? Walker asked. What about her roommate? Hall's roommate did not return voice mail messages seeking comment.

Quoizel Wilson, who police sources say is the father of the child Hall was carrying, has not spoken publicly about why the police searched his home at 259 Great Marsh Road in Centerville a week after Hall's disappearance, seizing a sport utility vehicle, motorcycle and other evidence.

Wilson, 43, was questioned for several hours at the Barnstable police station but later walked out of the building to a waiting cab.

"I have felt all along that he is not a person of interest," Wilson's attorney, Robert Galibois, said when asked whether he believed his client had been cleared of wrongdoing in the case.

He has not had contact with investigators on the matter "for some time now," Galibois said.

I saw an update on FB

The mystery of the July 2010 disappearance of a Nantucket woman took a dark twist today when Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O’Keefe announced that her body had been found last week in a wooded area in Falmouth.


Trudie Hall
Trudie Hall, 23, who was expecting her first child, had been shot multiple times, O’Keefe said. Her remains were found Thursday by a man walking his dog.

“Though Trudie will never speak again, by finding her she has told us much ... how many times she was shot and by what bullets,” O’Keefe said at a news conference at the Barnstable Police Department.

Asked if there were any suspects in the case, O’Keefe said he didn’t like the term “suspects,” but police had been questioning people all along.

He also said, “There may be a possibility that someone knowingly or unknowingly aided ... after the fact.” He said investigators would like to talk to that person.

The body was found by a man walking his dog in a wooded area off of Hayway Road. Jewelry was also found near the remains, O’Keefe said.

The remains were identified using forensic techniques, including the matching of dental records, he said.

He said police knew the number of times Hall had been shot and the caliber of the bullets, but would not disclose that information.

He said Hall had arrived on Cape Cod from the island of Nantucket on July 27, 2010, and rented a hotel room and a car. He wouldn’t discuss the reason for her visit. He said police knew a number of things about her movements that day, but wouldn’t disclose those, either.

Vivienne Walker, Hall’s mother, said in August 2010 that she had last spoken with her daughter on July 27. Walker flew from Nantucket to Cape Cod the next day to file a missing person’s report on behalf of her daughter.

Walker said her daughter, in that last conversation, told her that she was going to a movie and would call her afterward.

Whoever killed her must have thought they got away with it by now. ... Not so.

[spinst]

I was going to say... Man, I didn't even want the one husband I had - let alone two or three.

I'm glad they found her - hopefully now they can figure out who did it!
