I compiled some possible matches for this Jane Doe. Out of all of them, I think Barbara Ann Bruno is the best match -- she has a high forehead and appears to have an underbite. She is also in the estimated height range for the UID.
Julie Elizabeth Soracco - #MP51384
Missing From: Placerville, CA
DLC: August 1, 1977
Missing Age: 15
Height: 5'2"-5'4" (62-64 inches)
Weight: 120-130 lbs
Circumstances: According to family rumors, Soracco was visiting friends in El Dorado County (Placerville), she left their residence to walk to another friend's house and never made it. The DLC is unknown and approximated.
Cheryl 'Cherie' Schille Wyant - #MP4607
Missing From: San Bernardino, CA
DLC: May 30, 1978
Missing Age: 14
Height: 5'8" (68 inches) (this is significantly greater than the UID's estimated height of 5'3", but given Cheryl's history of being in state care, the reliability of her height/weight is questionable)
Weight: 120 lbs
Circumstances: In 1978, Cherie Wyant walked out of an unknown children's home or detention facility in San Bernardino County. She was involved in a car accident and walked out of an unknown California hospital. She had previously spent some time in a Clark County, Washington foster home and had run away from a girl's group home in Corbett, Oregon in late May of 1978.
Linda Marie Adams - #MP21953
Missing From: Yakima, WA
DLC: June 1, 1978
Missing Age: 15
Height: 5'0" (60 inches)
Weight: 125 lbs
Circumstances: Linda was last seen on Pomona Road in Yakima, Washington on June 1, 1978. She has never been heard from again. Because Linda was a chronic runaway, her disappearance was not reported to police until 2004. Few details are available in her case. (per Charley Project)
Marcia 'Marci' Lynn Joyce - #MP19747
Missing From: Bellingham, WA
DLC: August 30, 1978
Missing Age: 28
Height: 5'4" (64 inches)
Weight: 110 lbs
Circumstances: Marcia Joyce was last seen on the morning of August 30, 1978 at her home on Everson Goshen Road in Bellingham, Washington. She was home with her two children and was last seen hanging laundry in the back yard of her home. When her son went outside to find her, she was gone and was never seen again.
Joyce's husband drove into Bellingham that morning to make a withdrawal from the family's bank account, leaving his wife to tend to their two young children. In Bellingham, the husband received some alarming news when he went to make his withdrawal at the Northwestern Commercial Bank. Someone had cleaned out the account.
The withdrawal was likely made a couple days before Joyce disappeared. Joyce's husband called the Sheriff's Office to report his wife's disappearance after returning home. He was told to call back 24 hours later and make a missing persons report. Deputies combed the area in search of any trace of Joyce but found nothing.
