I'm sure if you put your ideas on the threads then a discussion can happen about it. Carl and others may well have been intrigued by a late-70s missing teen girl not in the missing persons' registers and may have advocated to law enforcement too since they seem to have good conversations with many people in the authorities.

Is there any evidence Tammy went missing the prior day? She went missing from Florida in the late 70s then turned up dead in New York on 9th November 1979? The only date that is given at the Zabasearch link is
She became missing in 1978-79, which doesn't specify an actual day. The body was tanned so that indicates being in the sunnier south not long before she was killed I suppose, but this doesn't let us see a date for going missing. If you look at the Caledonia Jane Doe thread in the Unidentified you'll see they went through many girls who went missing in the late 70s and who were just as good candidates as the Tammy who was presented in the Zabasearch thread. It was not obvious it was Tammy just because of the dates. They needed context such as DNA in order to positively identify Tammy as Caledonia.
There is no actual "missing date", surely? I don't see how it's obvious Caledonia was Tammy just by seeing
She became missing in 1978-79. Caledonia was an obvious **suggestion** for being Tammy to anyone who knows about teenage Jane Does from the late 70s but I don't think it was obvious it was Tammy just because she went missing in the late 70s. Other girls went missing in the late 70s certainly and are not on the missing persons registers.
