''Interpol has launched a campaign to identify a number of dead women
A pair of red shoes, two beaded necklaces and a British 10p coin are among the few clues that could help to identify a teenage girl found murdered in western France more than 40 years ago.
Her death is one of 46 cold cases European police are seeking to solve as part of the second phase of a campaign aimed at finding the names of unidentified murdered women.''

BBC coverage of last year’s appeal helped to identify a British woman some 30 years after her murder.
“We want to identify the deceased women, bring answers to families, and deliver justice to the victims,” Jürgen Stock, secretary-general of Interpol, which is co-ordinating the effort, said in a statement on Tuesday.
“Whether it is a memory, a tip, or a shared story, the smallest detail could help uncover the truth.”
The second phase of the Operation Identify Me campaign includes cases in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, Italy and Spain.''

It has now been expanded to include additional cold cases from Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands, as well as cases from new participating countries France, Italy, and Spain.''
 
Hi All, I'm brand new here. This article is something that has actually brought me here. Will people work specifically out of this thread to look into these cases or do they go individually? How does this work and how does someone new like me help?
If the case has an own thread already, there will be some older info there & the discussion will be on that thread.

If the case does not have a thread of its own you can make one if you like.

Helping can by searching for clues in the clothing/items found (sometimes it gives an idea which nationality someone might have) or comparing the woman with missing woman you find.

I would suggest posting in the individual threads so it’s clear which case you’re working on & what others already found out.

Good luck and WELCOME! :)

Welcome to Ws @CattarinaPoe!
Two, for now of the UID (unidentified) persons referenced in the article already has a thread here, (have not yet looked for the others), maybe start there, or find a familiar locale

Of the new Does, this one seems very identifiable because of the ring she was found wearing:

"Jewellery:

  • Gold wedding ring engraved with laurel leaves on the outside and “Jean et Nelly 25/06/1960” on the inside - worn by the victim on the left ring finger"
Edit: It occurred to me that authorities may have had difficulty identifying this doe through her ring because Jean and Nelly are very common French names. I wouldn't be surprised if there were multiple couples with those names who were married on that date.

This UID was naturally called "The Globetrotter" by Interpol based on the interesting items found in her bag:

"The following items were discovered in a bag hanging near the woman’s body:

  • Map of Vancouver, Canada, on which the Victoria Conference Centre had been circled, with the words: “Conference 2427 Sept”. The FOSS4G (Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial) Conference was held there on 24-27 September 2007.
  • Map of Copenhagen Airport.
  • Copy of “Scientific American” magazine with a request for a subscription related to a postal address in Payson, Arizona, United States.
  • Article on the use of lasers in dermatology, with an address in Cambridge, UK, written on the back
  • Pages from a magazine with a photograph of the Danish Royal Family
  • A Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) luggage label"
