I don't know of this has been mentioned yet, I am off to the doctor and haven't the time to read them all. My cousin lives in Roseburg, Oregon.

She tells me that Kowloon Restaurant
2686 NE Diamond Lake Blvd
Roseburg, OR 97470
541-673-0095
Kawloon Roseburg, Oregon" & "Tiki Room"
Is mostly frequented by Law enforcement, perhaps speaking to a patron there could lead to her identification.
 
Going off an idea I read earlier in this thread about possibly a mom of a college student or student herself made me think. Could she have been a fraternity mom or sorority mom? I know they do some of the shopping for the guys/girls that live in the frat/sorority house.

There's just something about hr picture that I can't put my finger on... hoping it will hit me at some point. :thinking: :thinking: :thinking:
 
"This victim was walking along the north service road of Highway 61 when this victim was struck by a vehicle. The occupants of the vehicle that they thought they hit a barrell in the road. The victim was thrown approximately 150 feet from point of impact. A card was found on victims body that had a name and number of a subject. The subject was called and subject reportedly stated that 1 week before victim's death subject had given a ride to a person fitting description of deceased from Nashville, Tennessee. Subject stated this victim was from Phoenix, Arizona and her name was Mary."

The profile says that she is white. But it appears from the photos that she could be mixed race. Maybe that could cause confusion trying to match the profile to missing persons if she did consider herself something other than "white"?
 
There are no missing persons cases from the state of Arizona involving a woman named Mary (at least that I could find), so it seems this woman either lied about her name, was not a resident of Arizona at the time of her death, or was never reported missing.

I went through the entire Doe network looking for missing women born between 1927 and 1942 who stood 5'4 with hazel or brown/green eyes. These are all the women I came up with:

Patsy Clark (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/2879dfar.html) - she's slightly too short and slightly too heavy, and her eyes were green, not hazel, but all of the demographic information on her page seems to have been estimated. She was known to travel around the southern USA, Arkansas in particular, by herself, without telling anyone where she was going. Went missing in March of 1987. There is some resemblance between her photos and our unidentified lady.

Iva Edwards (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/3024dffl.html) - Slightly too short. Missing from Florida since 1974. Husband claims she ran off one day. Doesn't seem overly likely, since this woman is believed to have been murdered in 1974, but still, there is some resemblance.

Saunders Rymer (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/1067dffl.html) - Slightly too old and heavy. Went missing somewhere between Georgia and Florida in 1977.

Delores Griffin (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/1019dfil.html) - included because she fits the criterion, but she was almost certainly murdered by her husband in 1975.

Sharon Pinegar (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/1898dfia.html) - slightly too tall, and doesn't much look like our unidentified lady. Went missing somewhere between Texas and Florida in early 1987.

Senia Mattson (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/3052dfmi.html) - included because she matches criteria, but probably died in an accident in the woods in Michigan in 1983.

Peggy Russness (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/2706dfmn.html) - meets criteria, but seems to have been involved in a fire in Minnesota in 1976.

Linda Lovell (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/2999dfmt.html) - slighly too young. Last seen hitchhiking out of Missoula, Montana in 1974.

April Schell (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/1396dfnv.html) - slightly too short and light. Known to go by a wide variety of false names. Was last seen in Las Vegas in 1986. Not a lot of other information about her disappearance.

Lola Carney (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/1289dfnj.html) - Meets criteria, though eyes are listed as brown. Vanished from New Jersey in 1982 with $17,000 and a handgun, neither her nor her car has been seen since.

Donna Michelanko (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/2443dfnd.html) - meets criteria, but it seems like a bit of stretch; this woman has been missing from North Dakota since 1968.

Darcy Brown (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/2926dfoh.html) - slightly too short. Also seems like a stretch, since she's been missing from Ohio since 1964. Her husband's second wife also turned up missing, so it seems more likely that this woman was murdered.

Anna Rankin (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/2363dfoh.html) - meets critera. Was a known substance abuser and was suspected of having bipolar disorder; she was known to disappear for days or weeks at a time without contacting anybody. Was last seen in 1982, when she told her family she was moving to Florida to be with a lover.

Barbara Frame (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/3423dfoh.html) - slightly too young. Left her home in Ohio in 1985 and was never heard from again, though her car was found the next day.

Andrea Coyle (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/2495dfpa.html) - slightly too young. Had known mental health issues, and had gone missing on a previous occasion. Was known to take off and hitchhike across the country. Has been missing from Pennsylvania since 1978.

Jeanne Scrima (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/947dfpa.html) - slightly too short. Has been missing from Pennsylvania since 1980, though it appears very likely that she was murdered on the day she went missing.

Agnes Young (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/1877dfpa.html) - meets criteria. Hard to say whether or not she's a likely candidate - no one even bothered to figure out that she was missing until 2002. Known mental health issues. Someone filed a missing persons report on her in Pennsylvania back in 1986.

Sue Bean (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/837dftx.html) - meets criteria, missing from Texas since 1985. Not a lot of information about her disappearance.

Darline Vaughan (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/2896dfva.html) - slightly too short. Walked away from her house in Vermont in 1986 and never came home.

Audrey Backeberg (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/163dfwi.html) - slightly too tall. Audrey was known to have fled from her abusive husband in Wisconsin in 1962, taking a Greyhound to Indiana. She stated that she did not want to return.

Carol Pierce (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/1524dfwi.html) - slightly too tall. Husband reports that he returned to their home in Wisconsin after work one day in 1975, and she wasn't there. All of her possessions were left at the house.

Hilda Frazier (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/3439dfwy.html) - meets criterion. Disappeared from Wyoming in 1990. No other information on her disappearance is available.

So either our mystery woman might be one of these, or maybe no one ever reported her missing. Of all the women I found, Patsy Clark seems to be the most likely candidate.
 
For someone this age, I sadly lean toward the belief that she was never reported missing. She could have been someone who was transient or itinerant for years, little to no family, and/or what family she did have knew that she commonly took off for long periods of time, so never would have bothered to file a missing persons report, if LE would even take it, considering adults' right to walk away, live a voluntary transient life, etc. I wonder if LE tried to do any public outreach in Nashville or Arizona to get any hits.
 
Hi All, Please bear with me....for the life of me..cannot recall how to add a photo etc....so if messed up...please Moderator be so kind as to fix what needs fixing.


Carrie E Miller/Last seen June 1973....Appears to be listed as a missing person on NAMPN only.

http://www.nampn.org/cases/miller_carrie.html

About a month ago...had sent an email to NamUs for a check re NamUs UID 2882. Or at least I thought I did as now cannot find the email in my sent file. Either way have not heard/or seen a change in Carrie Miller's status. So today did call/speak with Dayton, Ohio PD....a Sgt Monica Evans....she did not have any info on Carrie Miller...and apparently LE working the case is no longer on the force. She was kind enough to agree to my sending her an email with info on Carrie Miller and Arkansas UID 2882....as well as the attached comp photo. Will post here any replies from her.....

There are some similarities....some differences. But is the similarity of hairline/hair texture (appearance of) that nags at my mind. So will post here as know the eyes of WS members are darn keen. Miss you all....wish I could keep up but mind goes like this :scared: lol

.......And as if to prove me right...by the time I clicked Post...had to sign in again lol

Meant to reply yesterday to your post, pass-thru, as you bring up a valid point. Such an issue occurred with missing person Elizabeth Barrett. She was stated as being of the white race when she was of the Black race. Instead of weeks...it took years for her to be id'd and returned home to her loved ones.

..............
An fyi re Carrie E Miller...did email Sgt Evans the link to Carrie's grave page as well as the link to this thread on LL. To my mind...it is important that family and LE know how much work WS members put into giving the unidentified their identity back....the work...the patience...the dedication...is really noticeable when one doesn't read the site for months.....
 
Undated photo of Carrie E Miller....from all information found thus far...she remains a missing person.

I don't know if it is just my eyes seeing what they want to see re giving LL a name and loved ones.....but if they are one and the same ....CarlK90245.....your sketch is unbelievable in its likeness.

Yes dotr...but unfortunately Laundry Lady is NOT Carrie E Miller....her son and grandson have been searching for Carrie for the past few years.....and via Facebook contact her son let me know LL was not Carrie....though he was thankful for the help. If I can do so...will be removing Carrie's photos from this page so as not to distract....Sorry LL...was truly hoping/praying you would be re-united with loved ones.
