Thanks Romulus. Glad to have you around. Nice find (indeed on the higher side of the age range and her height is somewhat off). Hard to make a match I think, knowing the Canadians don't work with Namus that easily. But what the H. we just have to make the effort and keep on searching. I will look into Namus, maybe there have been new missing cases entered from that era.
 
What if she was Connie Gail Minchaca. Connie Gail Minchaca – The Charley Project
and not "a Cathy" at all.

I already posted this suggestion upthread but I would really like to have some feedback on it.
 
@Bit of hope I think she looks like an option and her Charley profile says she had several fillings so hopefully an easy rule in/out via dentals. I wish we knew the timeframe within which her family received the phone calls and whether it fits the PMI. On balance I would submit and see what comes of it.

Her mother received several mysterious calls in the weeks after Connie disappeared according to the Doe Network file. This wouldn't fit with the estimated PMI (1980 - 1981).
 
@Caring1 Hey could you post the current list of NamUs exclusions for this Jane Doe? I would greatly appreciate it.
