The facial expression on this pic of Sheila is very similar to the facial expression of the doe on the artistic rendering that Carl K did.
Didn't GCJD have blonde hair and blue eyes?
Yeah! I noticed that too. Also GCJD’s birth date has been confirmed. Sheila’s older than Jane by a good few years.Didn't GCJD have blonde hair and blue eyes?
Sheila's eyes and hair are brown
Man, if only her birth certificate wasn’t thrown away like trash! How awful. Her family must be worried sick! Since she would have turned 62 this 7/11, her parents may still be alive, in their eighties or nineties!Next month will be 45 years this Jane Doe had her life brutally taken from her! In January 2022, I felt so confident that she would be identified. But still, the wait continues. And continues.
This case, in particular, weighs heavily on my heart. J.D., you'll never have people stop fighting for you. You will never be forgotten!! I pray 2023 is the year. You deserve the dignity of your name back.

In January of 2022 a woman named Rebekah contacted me regarding a post she had found detailing a brother and sister seeking information on their older sister who had run away in 1977 and was never heard from again.
This beautiful young woman was a "free spirit" and lived a "hippy lifestyle" according to her family. She was caucasian, had strawberry/blond ish hair and was born on July 11, 1961.
However, the family never reported her missing because she was a frequent runaway and that's just how It went in the 70's and 80's. Through no fault of this family, this woman was never reported missing, even to this day.
I am choosing to not release her name for the sake of the family. However, New Mexico has this information and the dna from the family. It is unclear if this Jane doe’s DNA is available to be compared to this family.
Miraculously, this woman's parents are still alive!
However, they don't have much time left and they deserve answers as to whether this Jane doe is their child or not.
I personally believe this is a VERY good match and It is likely this is her. It is in the hands of the cold case detectives of the NMSP and it’s a wait and see game. It’s already been two years since we made this information available to them. I hope we get answers soon
Thx @CarlK90245 So sorry her family has to endure this IMO so unnecessary waiting....I can't imagine how that must be for them. You wonder; Is there a huge backlog, lack of means or are there troubles with getting DNA from GCJD (sorry if I don't remember the details)?Although this comes from an unofficial source (the Jane Doe's facebook page), I personally know this to be reliable information, and I got the OK from Tricia Griffith to post it here:
Quote from the admin of the Guadalupe Co Jane Doe fb page:
I believe it is just an issue with the State of New Mexico insisting on using their own governmental labs rather than any private labs. Notice you don't see very many New Mexico cases getting solved using IGG. (The only exception I can think of is the 1985 Dona Ana County Jane Doe - Dorothy Harrison)Thx @CarlK90245 So sorry her family has to endure this IMO so unnecessary waiting....I can't imagine how that must be for them.
