Oof. Yeah, there is a resemblance between FLEK and that one photo of Chris McCandless...but that really doesn't mean anything. The other photos that are available of CMC don't look anything like FLEK. And the photos of terry turner...it's a reach. The similarities that are there -- long face...

It's possible DA got the info from someone working at NAMUS, sure. But we're dealing with a long chain of second, third, fourth hand information at this point, so there's really no way of knowing. All very frustrating.

Oh I'm not doubting that Derek Abbott said that Linda. I'm just wondering how much truthful info he himself has. Remember DA does not work for NAMUS or the FBI or any other American authority, he's an Australian professor in a totally different field (physics?) who is an amateur sleuth...

So over on the FLEK Facebook group, the woman who posted the info about there being a match is now saying that she has contacted Namus, and Namus says that they are not aware of any impending identification. This poster's first name is Diane, and she got the original info about FLEK being...

Lol, we're not going to solve gun control here, so tactfully redirecting convo to FLEK...

Not yet. I follow Lyle Stevik too and there's a lot of action on his case but no match so far. Soon I hope.

I think the age-progressed Sheehy image matches well, but she's too old IMO. Was she ever ruled out?

For the record, I don't think FLEK used donor eggs (and we know she didn't if they are using the daughter's DNA to identify a match). I was just playing devils advocate. I think she was in her late 30s or early 40s when she conceived her daughter using her own eggs. I just don't think she's...

Wait, why is everyone suddenly so certain that it's Cheryl? If Cheryls age puts FLEK at 48 when she had her daughter, it's not her. We know she didn't use a donor egg because someone upthread mentioned the match was made using FLEK's daughter's DNA. I'm an infertility patient; trust me, this...

Another idea...maybe she was from (as in, born in) PA but went missing while living in a different state. I'm still leaning towards "never reported missing" though (if this new info turns out to be true).

Exactly, well-put.

Great work on the bankruptcy info. I have EDS, and there's no reason to think FLEK has it. The reason posters were suggesting Marfans was because she is tall, but EDS is not linked to stature. Yes, she had a genetic marker for heart disease, but the one type of EDS that causes heart issues...

I'm so confused. What is the significance of Jennifer Perkins other than the name showing up on that note page? Are these addresses/phone numbers for Jennifer Perkins connected to FLEK other than that the name shows up in her notes?

Thanks Sutton...I see the investigators have agreed she's an unlikely match. I think I agree too, the mouth and ears are way too different. I still think she wasn't reported missing.

Has Mary Day been looked into? She went missing in 1980, which would make her 20 in 1988. She was also 5'8 at age 12, and from California. http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/d/day_mary.html

Good idea SassyBenton. Here is one interesting MP I found. but FLEK didn't have any tattoos: https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/1961/

Vascular EDS is quite rare...and usually presents with short stature: http://www.ednf.org/vascular-type

Ah, ok. Someone up thread said he did have shovel teeth. Sorry for the confusion.

It was confirmed that LS had shovel teeth? I looked through CCM's posts and couldn't find that info, can someone post the direct quote?

Yeah, I saw that...I'd take it with a grain of salt personally. The poster wasn't a geneticist, he just "looked at portraits from around the world." I wonder if he even saw the profile shot of LS, which (to me) shows a much greater degree of prognathism than Southern European or Balkan bone...
