Hope, for every Jane and John Doe that is yet to be identified.I love this post. You said it best....BEAUTIFUL. There is hope!
Some more thoughts:
LE investigating both Shirley's and Westlake Jane Doe's murders, to my knowledge, think that both women may have been abducted by Chouest. They thought Shirley may have been abducted from a certain bar by Chouest and I believe (haven't found yet) that Ventura County LE believes that the pregnant Doe may have also been abducted and held captive. I am curious how long, if it all, these poor women were kept in captivity.
Do we know if Wilson Chouest had any links to Seattle or WA? I have heard that he was from Louisiana originally, but seeing as he wound up in California I don't think it's impossible he had some connections to WA.
So she disappeared from Seattle, went to California in roughly the Delano area, and possibly worked at an apple orchard. I wonder what brought her to California, and to Seattle. I am just very curious about the Seattle connection because, from my point of view as someone who grew up and still lives in the Seattle metropolitan area, it seems like a surprising and possibly impractical place for her to live. I think it would have made a lot of sense for her to have lived in eastern WA.
I think that it could be a coincidence, unless further information is released on Becky Ochoa’s coworkers, it could have been a case of mistaken identity.That is very interesting. Then she either gave herself a fake name or they simply confused her with someone else.
Like the Jacques theory with Jim Freund... because a campground owner claimed he met them and the man was Canadian.

I agree, maybe Shirley changed her name for her fresh start, as she wanted to work at the apple orchard.When they announced that Jim Freund was from Pennsylvania my first thought was that there is an older Quebecois Jacques out there who was having a fun summer road trip in the 70s and has no idea a bunch of internet sleuths think he was murdered. I have never doubted that the sighting happened, I just now think he was a lookalike.
I think Shirley, if it was her that was Becky Ochoa, may have started going by a new name in California to try to get a fresh start and didn't want to be associated by the name Shirley anymore. Or it could be another mistaken identity sighting, although I doubt this more than with the Sumter County victims. Shirley was spotted at the bar, right? With her high BAC it adds up.

Do we know if Wilson lived in Seattle?
It is mentioned that Shirley was visiting someone in Seattle.
I agree, i wonder if we may ever know who she was suppossed to meet at Seattle.He claimed he randomly met her in a bar close to where she was found later. He did not meet her in Seattle.
Why she left Seattle for Cali, nobody knows yet as of now.
If the apple picker theory is correct (i doubt it), then she maybe went as a transient worktraveler.
