I'm not too confident on these being related to our Tanya Doe, but the little of the articles I could see seemed interesting. If anyone could tell me whether they're related to Tanya Doe, that would be much appreciated, thank you!

Not super confident in this because of the distance (6 hours of desert between Venice, CA and Phoenix, AZ) but Christina Smith fits all the stats.

I've been seeing Christina Smith's profile a lot in my searches for potential matches, oddly enough. I think her statistics match well enough, and with the lack of information regarding circumstances, a nearly infinite number of scenarios could have occurred. Phoenix, AZ is a straight shot down I-10 from Venice, CA, so I don't think the difference in locations means too much.

I know I'm extremely late, but those articles weren't related
