Bumping
I'm squarely in the Alma camp on this one -- the dark hair, the right age/height/weight, her slightly unkempt appearance (from a year living on the fringe?), and being an unknown in the area. Tuscaloosa County is a straight shot up I-20 from Shreveport; maybe she hitched a ride with a trucker?
Does anyone know if Alma was ever submitted as a possible match? If so, was there any response? Unfortunately, this UID has not been entered into NamUs, so there's no rule-out list to look at.
Its now 2016 and I dont see any evidence that this was submitted as possible match? The profile is still on the DOE network too. I think there is a reasonable chance that the UID is Alma too.
On April 18, 1982, the body of a white female was discovered in Slaughter Creek near the Sipsey River in Romulus. Her age is estimated between 34 and 38. According to Sgt. Jeremy Franks with the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office, authorities exhumed the remains in 2013 for DNA testing that was unavailable in 1982.
The victim had been beaten and strangled to death. She was about 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighed about 110 pounds. She had dark-brown hair, brown eyes and a scar under her right eyebrow.
Can anyone see official rule out list in NamUs and post it here please?
Thank you
Thank youAndrea Coyle, who disappeared from Pennsylvania in 1978, and Theresa Baxter, who disappeared from California in 1977, have been ruled out as being this woman. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
I think Tuscaloosa Jane Doe and Judith Hofferman look similar.
Judith went missing in 1980 from Virginia. She was 33. She drove to the airport, left her car in the lot, and never returned.
It's kind of difficult to tell based on the pm photo, but I see similarities in face shape, eyebrow shape (both women have a very rounded arch to the brow and very thin brows), a large space between the mouth and nose, and Judith's hairstyle is similar to the pm photo. Judith and Jane Doe's nose and nostrils don't look identical, but it could be the angle the pictures were taken from, rhinoplasty (doubtful), or injury.

Good catch! ITA, I noticed the resemblance as well. I came here to suggest her as a PM. Your description helped me to see the resemblance even clearer, it seems. I'd encourage you to submit her as a PM. Also, in case others may not have seen, TJD's NamUs profile has two more PM photos on page 2 of the pdf file.
