Looks like a good match to me, Barbara was only added to NamUs recently so she probably hasn't been compared to a lot of unidentified remains yet.

@chaddylex good pick up. They look remarkably alike.

Thanks! I will submit tomorrow when I get back to work. It’s so much easier to do this stuff on a desktop then just from my phone .

Any relation, I wonder? Not really a common last name and they're from the same city...

So I resubmitted this possible match (2 weeks ago) to the Medical Examiner's office listed on the Palm Beach Jane Doe's NamUs profile (since I never heard back from Barbara's contact.

He read my email but didn't respond. However, the Palm Beach NamUs profile has been modified yesterday 11/29 and Barbara's profile was modified on 11/24. So far they aren't ruled out against each other - hopefully they are actually checking it out and that they didn't blow me off.

Yes I did know that - I must have just posted on the Jane Doe's website about the rule out.
Thank you.

I am currently looking into undidentified NamUs #6629, Winchester Jane Doe from Virginia and I found Barbara Sellers. She closely resembles the model of what Winchester Jane Doe may look like and she has not been ruled out as an exclusion. Winchester Jane Doe's body was found Feb 1991, but you don't know if she was kidnapped and kept somewhere for a period of time.
