She was said to have tattoos but I don't see any on any of her pics

Wait, whose pics? I'm seeing tats on the left outer wrist, left outer forearm and center of back...amazingly all covered or not in view in the black and white photo. The inside of left ankle could be a tat showing through wet and clinging see-through leggings...but could also be an imprint of the heel of her right foot. Some people stand like that at rest. Whatever it is seems too defined to be a dirt smudge, but who knows. I'd say the slope/definition between the upper knee/bottom front thigh is similar.

Now that I'm looking more closely at b/w photo, it looks to me like her leggings were only totally wet up to about 3" above her knee at that point, most visible on the left leg. Which is only relevant in that she didn't go through waist-high water close to that particular time-stamp. My biggest takeaway is these are women with similar bleaching and length of hair, body type, and potentially posture who (speculation) are not adverse to crossing water whether by necessity or not. As for being barefoot, the person in the pink bikini likely had the choice, and the person in the b/w possibly didn't.

New article, no new info except it might take 6 more months to determine the results of the comparison DNA provided by Amber Johnson's family. Sheriff provides update on search to identify Wadesboro’s Jane Doe | Anson Record

The seemingly family run page reposted the article. I'd say that's confirmation

From the article. This is the first time any SNAP benefits of hers have been mentioned.

Johnston does have some ideas on next steps she would like to see law enforcement take now an identification has been made.
“The living person that used her snap benefits while she was laying to rot in those woods needs to be questioned,” she said.

This is the first time any SNAP benefits of hers have been mentioned.

More info from this article:

It was later proven by Arizona law enforcement Amber’s SNAP benefits and social security disability benefits were drained during the time of her disappearance up until her account was turned off.

Learning about Amber’s financial information through Detective Sharpe’s investigation into her daughter’s disappearance, Sharon said at one point Ward sold Amber’s SNAP benefit card to another individual, Jerrett Leary, for drugs. Digital tracking of Amber’s banking information showed her debit card was used by people other than just Ward and Leary to make online purchases.

(For context, Jarrett Ward was Amber's ex-boyfriend. He died in Sept 2023 from a drug overdose.)

I am so glad Amber's mom and children finally have some closure. I have been following her case for awhile now and felt horrible that her mom had to wait so long for a DNA comparison. She never gave up and kept pressing law enforcement. May she rest in peace.

Amber actually went to the same high school as myself, she is just 10 years younger.
