I'm wondering about Gwendolyn Murray-Smith as a possible match - she was just listed in Namus this week and I cannot see her on DoeNetwork or CharleyProject, so information seems limited to Namus. She went missing from Lakeland in 1990.

This seems like a case that could be helped by a reconstruction.

I came here to say the same thing...hopefully the local law enforcement agencies are looking into a possible match.

The DNA from her children were compared to the DNA developed from the remains. It was not a match.

This seems like a case that could be helped by a reconstruction.

Her mandible has never been found. Although I have seen cases where the mandible has never been found and still had a reconstruction, since we don’t know the face shape the reconstructions are often inaccurate, leading them to go unidentified for longer.

Thanks for updating.

Could this be Patrece Lashelle Alston? I just came across her case on FB. She was planning to go to Winter Haven when last seen. She was travelling with Lucious Boyd who was later convicted of another woman's murder.
