If the truck driver didn't murder he she could have been closer to Valencia and could have been murdered closer to the estimated date of death.
 
I have submitted a match between Lisa and this Doe to the LASD Homicide Cold Case Unit since NamUs has not responded with an email.
 
I found a new more match for UP4388. May have been considered though. Not too sure.
Wendy Bryon went missing in late summer 1978. This would match up with Lisa Sprague who I strongly believe could be UP4389. If you actually make a route from Glendora to Ventura to Valencia and then back to Glendora it makes a triangular route that would take 3 hours to make. If we remove Lisa Sprague from the route it takes an hour to get from Glendora to Valencia. I will not do a table YET as I don't know if she was considered or not. I will do a side by side though.

Wendy's face may be a little less long than the Doe's but both seem to have the same nose. This photo of Wendy was also taken in 1970 to my knowledge and peoples faces change in 8 years.

Here is the Wendy Byron thread:

 
Not 100% sure but I don't think so. I'd submit if everything lines up! There is a strong resemblance. Also, lets hope 2023 is the year these girls get their names.
I would also like both of them to get their names but I think that it will not be possible for at least one of them, 1367UFCA does not have DNA so it would be difficult to identify it without DNA.

1367UFCA


On the other hand 1322UFCA does have DNA so if a successful identification would be possible, I hope they can work the genetic genealogy on it (I suggest Othram or the DNA Doe Project).

Well. We know where she is buried right? They could exhume her for DNA. Lets see if @othram can work on her case.
 
I ran another search for UP4388 and came up with a new potential match, Teresa McKinley. She seems to have disappeared voluntarily. She had tried to kill herself a month prior. This doesn't mean she did this time. If this is her, it could open a possibility of the two girls cases being unrelated and UP4388 drowning by suicide. After all, only UP4389's cause of death could truly be established as a homicide. Unlikely due to the circumstances, but possible. Here is a side by side and table:

@Caring1 UP4389's profile has been updated since the 13th. Has someone been excluded and is it Andria?
 
I think this Jane Doe The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) might be Sheryl Denise Taylor. 1674747679847.png1674747728825.png
