Does anyone know why the reconstruction is not listed on NamUS? Also are you using Kansas Police department or Kansas Bureau of Investigation as a contact?
thanks
Vivian Botz does look like a good possibility. The age difference is not that far off. As people get older, the ability to accurately estimate their age decreases.
There isn't a view of her left temple to evaluate whether she has a similar scar. The other scarring on her face look more like the result of a medical condition than the result of a traumatic injury.
While I was out this morning, I received a message from a Detective Jenkins from KCPD. He had additional questions, but when I returned his call, all I got was his answering machine. When I do talk to him, I'll mention Vivian as an alternative possible.
You guys are great! Both look like good matches to me. The wired jaw and skull fracture immediately made me think "domestic violence." My sister's husband (ex now) beat her so badly that her jaw was broken and wired shut and she was very badly injured (and 8 months pregnant!) I wonder if either of these women had someone in their lives that was/is violent. I haven't looked at either particular case yet so I will go look. Just thought it might be possible rather than an automobile accident.
Is Babette Alberti [Phillips] at all a possibility? Her NamUs entry indicates that she had her jaw wired due to a fracture at some point. She also suffered broken ribs during her youth, although the UID's Doe Network entry sounds like the rib fractures were perimortem. She disappeared from Louisiana in 1983. The difference in height is very large 65-68 inches for the UID, about 60 inches for Babette Alberti but the UID's height is apparently an estimate derived from the remains that were found, a skull and a few ribs.

Carl, I assume you never heard back on Nancy Estremera?
Any chance this could be The Doe Network:
Case File 2203DFKS - Tabitha Diane Brewer? Age is way, way off but the rest seems to fit. Just thought I would put her in the mix.

(Also worth noting: Tabitha Diane Brewer's stats align very well with the UID's, but Tabitha was apparently ruled out via DNA, according to a thread:

Christina Burnett Pitts went missing from Missouri in 2008. She certainly has something going on with the left side of her face. I am not saying that she has a wired jaw or a previous skull fracture, because I just don't know, but there is a chance of injury due to the way her face looks. I also read in one of the recent news articles about her disappearance that she was in an abusive relationship.

She went missing in 1998. Sorry, I put the wrong date in my post.
There doesn't appear to be a NamUs casefile for this Jane Doe, although there is a another Kansas City female listed in NamUs who was found on 01-Nov-1999 with a wider age range, and very little additional info.
