FL FL - Manatee Co., WhtFem UP1265, 11-20, drowned on the edge of Sarasota Bay, Apr'83

I am new to websleuths and this is a huge stretch, but could Jane Doe be Emma Lorene Vaughn? It is theorized she was kidnapped from Orlando, FL, and was known to be a habitual nail-biter. Hoping this will at least bump her case.

Emma was Caucasian and this lady is Hispanic. That would not necessarily rule her out as ethnicity and race can be two different things. She could be a light skinned Hispanic.

(I’m Caucasian but heavily favor my Czech side).

I noticed this earlier in the thread; on Namus, Jane Doe is still listed as White, is it different on another database?

I’m not sure of the source of her ethnicity. It’s mentioned in a few posts throughout the thread.

FWIW, the article below states our JD had her "nails chewed to the quick" and the shoe size was about "3 ½ and 4".

this to me could mean two possible scenarios:

1.) This girl hit her head and then drowned somehow
2.) She was attacked and the individual who did it threw her body into the bay
