I have been watching Breaking Amish lately on TLC (lol), and I have wondered, is it possible Jane Doe was on her rumspringa passage from her community?
Rumspringa is where the amish teens leave their homes at age 16 to experiment with the outside world to see what path they want to take. Some return, and others do no because they want to live a "normal" life. Sadly, it's hard to be out on your own without family, many found it hard to support themselves, so some turn to selling drugs or prostitution to support themselves. (At this point, the family shuns them, so it can be seen as the point of no return after they have made their decision). I just have always wondered that. It would make sense why no one has stepped forward to claim her, and I remember her cross jewelery and her different attire. I do not think he outfit is "amish", but perhaps it's something someone with a background in the culture would choose to wear.
I know it may seem kind of far fetch'd, but it was just an idea that popped into my head, thought I'd share it:) I know they mentioned she was from the Long Island , NY area, so it is very possible she became estranged from her family, and they just never stepped forward to see what happened to her.

Isotope analysis of her hair by Isoforensics Lab in Salt Lake City indicate that she is either from the Midwest or Northeast. (Study of the isotopes in hair will reveal where she was in the last year of her life.) The evidence suggests she was a transient, police officials say, moving from one geographic region to another until she ended up in New Jersey. Testing on a tooth by the University of South Florida revealed just this week that there's a 40 percent chance she's from Arizona, a 40 percent chance she's from the Northeast, and a 20 percent chance she's from elsewhere in the United States.
 
**I think its very likely she is from the NE. But, does anyone know if her style of clothing is more common out west or midwest vs NE?

It was very much in style in the MA/CT/RI area in 1982. Girls were wearing skirts then -- this is the kind of outfit she might have worn to the mall or a movie with friends, or to dinner at the grandparents' house, or applying for a job. My daughter was 9 and a tomboy at the time, but even she owned a skirt and top of this same general style.

The cross makes me think she's likely Catholic -- it's the kind that's often given for First Communion, and in 1982 it wasn't as common for people to wear crosses just as jewelry. Some in the goth/punk scene, but the other clothing doesn't fit with that.

Really, she looks like a 15-year-old on the way from mass to Sunday dinner at her grandmother's.
 
My opinion is that she is from a small town within a small town, what I mean is that suppose she came from a small town in the middle of the US that you woould need a bus to travel to another town in order to go to school, work or movies.
 
Makes me wonder how credible the info from the suspects are that she was from the long island ny area
 
Hi all. It's been a little while since I posted at WS, and I've just quickly skimmed this thread, so I'm hoping this hasn't been posted...apologies if that's not the case.

There's an update on this case from last September which I've just come across...apparently, this young lady may have originated from Arizona.

http://www.longislandpress.com/2012...cess-doe-from-arizona-lived-on-long-island-2/

I know there's some amazing researchers on WS, and maybe the little extra information on her origins will be enough of a clue for someone out there.

Regards

There's been quite a bit of discussion of Amy as a possible since the Arizona connection was brought to light. Authorities do have her name, but I don't know if there has ever been a positive rule-out.

I was wondering that same thing. Do you know how accurate the princessdoe.org website possible match list is? Because they have more rule outs on there than NAMUS, but i dont believe amy is ruled out on either site. I know PD's official site is not completely updated, because they have Alison Marie Mims still listed as a PM, and her remains were found a few years ago in AZ. I remember e-mailing the admin of the site about takin Alison of the list since her remains were found, but last time I checked it wasn't updated.
Would be nice to know!
 
I think there is a resemblance to Sheryl Tillinghast...Sheryl is older than the age estimates but facially, I think they look very similar...right down to the space between the front teeth! Sheryl was heavier when she disappeared, but could have lost weight over the years...if she was traveling around...

sheryls profile in shown as complete and submitted

Does that automatically mean it is in CODIS? If so she's a rule out by default?

I feel so strongly about this...
 
here is a lot of in depth info about sheryl from her sister and niece, if it helps. It seems like a Detective in 2011 was looking at another Doe as a match.

Read all the comments after the blog entry.

:eek:fftopic:
That Jane Doe from Nashville that the detective was looking into was either Hispanic or Native American. There are very clear postmortem photos of her, and even though they think her name might have been Sheryl or Cheryl, she is definitely not Cheryl Tillinghast.
 
I know this soound strange but did the detectives send her pictures to churches throughout the United States, from the matter of the clothes she was wearing when she was found I believe BJD came from a very strict Christian household or attended a church like that were you could not wear makeup, pants
 
In the long list of possibles, does anyone know if Lisa Dickinson was ever looked at? I checked the chart on the princessdoe website and she was not listed on there.

I know this has been discussed before but this case is big in my part of the world,

At this point it is determined that the girl came from the Southwest USA.

She may have lived on Long Island NY for time.

All indications lead to Amy Yachimec who dissappeared from Arizona in 1981.

I believe her family, friends and Law Enforcement are more than aware of this.

It's more than about identifying the girl and proving that it is her. It is about solving the murder.

I submitted Lisa Dickinson to Pamela Reed with Namus. Couldn't wait anymore for opinions, I feel strongly about her.
