Royal Palm Beach Jane Doe has been unidentified for 32 years today.
NamUs rule outs as of 18 September 2017: Rose Gayhart 1962 Florida, Wendy Huggy 1965 Florida, and Anne Riggin 1956 Pennsylvania.
Just skimming through Doe Network and saw this missing lady, Arlene Ferretti and thought I would post to see what everyone thinks....
The Doe Network: Case File 887DFFL

Arlene Grace Ferretti
Missing since July 15, 1987 from Palm Beach County, Florida
Classification: Missing
Vital Statistics
Date Of Birth: March 13, 1947
Age at Time of Disappearance: 40 years old
Height and Weight at Time of Disappearance: 5'1"; 120 lbs.
Distinguishing Characteristics: White female. Brown hair; brown eyes.
Circumstances of Disappearance
Arlene Ferretti was last seen in West Palm Beach, FL on July 15, 1987.
Just got a notification and saw a post I made 8 years ago (!)
Does anyone know if Arlene was ruled out? I know she was at the high end of the initial age range but she was quite local and fits some of the description.
So in September 2020, I sent an email to the contact listed on Barbara Sellars NamUs profile about being a possible match to this Jane Doe. I just went back thru my emails and I never heard back.
I found the email for the contact listed on this Jane Doe's NamUs profile and I submitted the match to him. I put a read receipt on so I know at least if he read it.
Here is a side by side of Barbara and the Jane Doe.

A lot of the characteristics add up between the two. It is also stated Barbara Left Spartanburg to go to a motorcycle swap meet, possibly in West Palm Beach, Florida. Possibly left with a white female.

I mean bad arthritis and dental problems are symptoms of heavy drug use, something Babette may have taken part in.What about Babette Alberti? The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Babette possibly to have gone to Bay St. Louis MS. She may have gotten in to drugs and prostitution and the Doe had bad arthritis and dental problems, things the Doe had. It's 700 miles away, yes but I've seen much farther matches be confirmed. All the base-line things match (hair, height, weight, ect.) and the bone structure seems similar at least to me. Note that this WAS my first match so it probably is bad but I think it still holds up.
Also, is it true that every DNA profile is in CODIS? Doe Network dismissed this match because of this but accepted a match with DNA available in both cases. I'm honestly a bit confused at this.

Ruled out by dentals and height.I have submitted Virginia Wilson, missing from Winter Park, Florida in 1985. According to Doe Network, she has no DNA available so there couldn't have been a hit in the system. Height is the only thing off here but since the height is an estimate in both cases I think both could be off by an inch or two.
