Update from the DDP, and an important call to action if you have ties to the mentioned surnames and/or locations:
"DNA Doe Project Case Update: Ventura County Jane Doe - Westlake, California (1980)
Our team has had some success in identifying common ancestors between Ventura County Jane Doe, and her DNA cousins. Although we have found connections, and possible surnames and geographic locations of interest, these DNA cousins are very distant, and therefore we are still a long way from reaching her identity. This is where you can help!
