CA CA - Los Angeles Co., WhtFem 588UFCA, 16-28, in burned trailer, Jun'83

That area is the location of the Sherman Oaks Galleria (used in the filming of Fast Times at Ridgemont High). But Sepulveda Boulevard at 4AM in the morning is pretty sparse, populated mostly by homeless and ladies of the evening. Poor girl. There are a couple of seedy motels just a couple of blocks north of there. At least that's the landscape now. I can't imagine it was much better then.

Right on that corner in "Fox" building is a Denny's, diagonal to galleria. There is a small motel other side of galleria going north on Sepulveda.

My office was very close to that intersection.

I had forgotten that they don't have voice mail, so this might take some in depth work to track down the detective again, just because I don't post doesn't mean I'm not trying. I'm just not getting anywhere yet.

She has a link to Namus, but it gives me a 404 error...interesting.

.

works for me now.

 

[not_my_kids]

Hmmmm. Namus says 16-28 with a dental age of 18-28.
Also says her hair was blond and light reddish, when before I had always heard blond.
I would have figured on her having delicate facial features, but that's because of the rest of her size and it's nice to have it in print.

That widens the number of potentials a bit.

 

[parakeet]

Was anyone ever able follow up with the detective?

 

[coco]

So I'm guessing this melvin smith is now out of jail..

 

[CountEveryMoment]

What about Rebecca Jean Dunn? Idk how tall the Jane doe is Doenetwork doesn't have height listed, but she seems to have been a prostitute. I think she has delicate features. http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/1374dfnv.html

Or What about Beverli Darnell? She has connections to CA and had been missing for a while before being listed so Idk how close it is to the actual date.

This has got to be one of the worst cases I have seen on Websleuths. I know Rebecca Dunn looks good but wasn't the doe supposed to be short? five eight is not short, and 150 lbs is not noticeably thin. In fact, at one inch taller when I was 150 I was described as fairly curvy.

 

[Moonwalker9]

Another strange case I always thought of. wish there could be some more info

 

[coco]

Came back hoping to find there was a breakthrough with this case, sadly nothing new

Sounds like it could be a fit, would submit her if you haven't yet!

 

[Moonwalker9]

Bumping. DNA Doe should do her, that would be a good way to find out who she was and how she looked like

 

[Melt71]

No photo of the jewellery on Namus but this was on Wiki.

 

[Sleuth91]

Bump. What an absolutely horrific way to die.

 

[victoriarobinson642]

There seems to be almost no information on this case.

I know. It seems like cold cases often "slip through the cracks" over time. Evidence gets lost. No new leads come in. My heart breaks for this girl. Has anyone within the past few years reached out to the detective on this case? Looks like the last time anyone (just going from this thread) spoke to him was in 2009. Is it time to follow up again?

I would!

 

[Sleuth91]

I would!

I am currently super focused on another Jane Doe case. Does @not_my_kids want to reach out to LE again? It's been so long it may even be another detective now.

EDIT: Looks like @not_my_kids hasn't been seen since 2013. Anybody else want to contact the detective?

I would but I think this pandemic is probably a bad time for them right now.

True. I've been trying to hold back a bit myself with all of the stuff that has been going on in the US lately. I'm sure they're probably very busy. I hope this case gets solved one day and that this young lady gets her name back.
