I’m just reading of Gail’s disappearance for the first time! What a series of unfortunate tragedies Are there any updates, anyone know? I saw she has 0 unidentified person exclusions on her NamUs profile.
She looks incredibly similar to WCJD, and the timeline and circumstances (blue car, possibly with other men) seem to fit. IMOShe certainly has a familiar face.
I know...I tried to find something that would connect both girls. But didn't really come up with anything substantial. I've only thought one other missing person besides Gail really looked like WCJD. She (Nathalie Martin-Leavens) disappeared from France though and other than her physical resemblance, I couldn't locate anything else about her to even compare to WCJD.You're right, the resemblance is strong. And she disappeared from California about a month before WCJD died.
She's quite a bit older than the estimate, though.

I just really have a feeling about Gail. She was very familiar with living next to the ocean, so I wonder if the witnesses may have heard her say she was from "Port.....", and just misunderstood the exact location. It would explain so much. And the car....... gosh, I don't know. It really comes down to the age, I guess.
Good find!! Her teeth are showing much more in these photos. Is it me, or does she appear to be wearing braces? It’s hard to tell if her top teeth are just unusually small (short), but they’re unique IMO. And that necklace...I sure wish we could see what was at the end of that chain...Found another article about her in the Sacramento Bee, 25 Dec 1980, pages B1-B2.

Of course the chin is going to be quite different, Gail is smiling very big. I still see such a strong resemblance to WCJD...
Do you mean for Walker County Jane Doe? I don’t recall that name. Do you have a link to her case?Has anyone looked into the Pem Michelle Briggs theory? They have alot of resemblance, and I recall her running away to meet her dad in prison
Yeah, there was a woman that posted an ad asking to see her sister again, the timeline would match up, the only big rule out is her teeth which are crooked, but she went missing in 1977, and 3 years prior to her death could be enough time to straighten them out. OR - OR - Pem Michelle Yates-Briggs, 15, Portland, 1977Do you mean for Walker County Jane Doe? I don’t recall that name. Do you have a link to her case?
(on another note if you notice the asterisk**** in the article, that was my typo, I forgot to remove it prior to posting. That was my little flag to go back and note in my blog that Malone's body was in the water for so many days there was no way for them to determine his blood alcohol level accurately. I will get into the science of this in my blog but basically, it had been too many days and his body had been in decomp for too long. So I found that statement in the newspaper very strange.)
THANK YOU for these!!Found additional images from Gail's senior yearbook. You can find those here.
