PA PA - Sandra Hopler, 18, LaPlume, 29 Sept 1973

New Posts

A new facial reconstruction has been released for the unidentified female found deceased in #LebanonCounty, PA on October 10, 1973. Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center generously donated a CT scan of the female’s skull so a NCMEC Forensic Artist could work with a Forensic Anthropologist from the Smithsonian to create an image of what this female may have looked like in life.

Based on new dental examinations the female is possibly closer to 15 years old, with a range of 14-19 at the time of her death, which is younger than initially believed.

This Jane Doe was found in a rural area in Lebanon County, several feet off a dirt road in between Tomstown Road and Moonshine Road (Rt. 443) which locals call the Five Point area. She had been deceased for several weeks. The female is Caucasian, stood 5’05”-5’08” tall, and possibly had brown hair. No clothing was recovered with this female.

Anyone with information that could help identify this female can call 1-800-THE-LOST

I can see some resemblance although 12 days isn't "several weeks".

Here is her NamUs profile
 
There's not much info on Sandra Hopler. She was supposedly going to New York for a visit, but why? And who was she visiting? If LE knew that then they might be able to figure out who was the last person to ever see her. If she was taking off for a few days with a man, or going to New York to see a man there, maybe he did something to her.

Bumping for Sandra. Curious to know what you all think about this possibility:

The Doe Network: 1068UFNY

I'm thinking the "brown leathery belt" could be the strap to her purse and the "reddish purple material" on her nails could be from her burgandy blazer or possibly nail polish to match the outfit she was last seen in. Most of the available details fit (although no mention of a prior broken collarbone on Sandra), even the long sandy brown hair... I am local to the investigating PSP location for Sandra (grew up in the Scranton area and currently live in Dupont) and am thinking about stopping by there one day with the info. It's worth a shot, I suppose...

Thank you for your time!

I think it's worth a shot. I wonder what the " reddish purple material " is.

Hi - did you ever turn in this possible match? The Jane Doe's NamUs profile was modified today, but she only has one rule out listed and it's not Sandra.
