Cynthia Coon's MP page on Namus lists her as a rule out of this UID from Galloway NJ.

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

The UID page does not list Cynthia as a rule out.

It is safe to say Cynthia is not the UID from NJ.

My post that you quoted was from eight years ago...

Does anyone know if Cynthia was ever compared to Rancho Cucamonga Jane doe?

Sometimes it takes 8 years to rule someone out It is a slow process.

I don’t recall but the postmortem photos have a resemblance to the shape of her mouth

They’ve fixed that issue. Cynthia is now on the list for the New Jersey UID

I don’t recall but the postmortem photos have a resemblance to the shape of her mouth

They do share a resemblance and based on the photos available of Cynthia it appears that she might have a slight overbite like the UID

I'm thinking it's not her, they both have DNA in the system, but just about everything matches.

The post-mortem interval doesn't fit. Cynthia could have been kept alive for a while, but nine years? Naah. If Cynthia is ever matched to a Jane Doe, it'll be a Jane Doe who died in 1970.

It can't be her, their DNA didn't hit, but I don't assume a set of remains can't be a missing person just because of the time elapsed between the date someone is reported missing and remains being found. Some dates area sketchy or vague, especially after reading that Gloria Rieken's body was found days before she was reported missing, most likely to throw off suspicion, and sadly, it worked, too.
I understand folks are assuming that a serial killer abducted Cynthia, but until she is found, we don't know the circumstances surrounding her disappearance, so I prefer to have an open mind.

Here is another teen aged disappearance that has been resolved. Please note her age, and the time between her disappearance and discovery:

Like the article says, those cases are "extraordinarily rare." I'll add that the vast majority are run-away or non-custodial-parental-abduction cases. Doctors have a saying when diagnosing an illness: horses before zebras, zebras before unicorns. Cynthia's having lived past 1970 would be a unicorn.

Resolutions like the one in the article are rare, but not impossible, improbable, unlikely or unheard of. It's also why I choose to keep an open mind about what may have happened to them is all I'm saying.
