New DoeNet casefile. She's been in NamUs for a while, but her casefile was "no-photo" until recently.
Debra A. Cressotti

There are a lot of question marks here. She is a little off on height (though not excessively). Her hair is darker than LPJD's description, but her casefile indicates that she sometimes dyes her hair blonde. She is the right age, and she has a very similar facial shape to the recon above. No indication of whether she has breast implants.
She was last seen April 30, 1985, and her vehicle was left at the Bradley Airport in Connecticut. This is a little more than a year before LPJD was found (i.e., June 19, 1986).
The possible connection that caught my attention is that she broke her pelvis in a horseback riding accident. The physical description of LPJD indicates "Antemortem trauma noted with the iliopubic and ischiopubic rami depressed posteriorly. " (in layman's terms, these are healed pelvic injuries).
She also has a scar on her right knee, just as LPJD does.
And maybe it's my imagination, but her nose in the red hoodie photo seems a little bigger than her nose in the black halter-top photo. They say that LPJD might have had a nose job.

I spoke with Helen Bouzon (of LSU Faces Lab) this morning to find out if there was ever a rule-out on Debra Cressotti to LPJD.
After checking with the detective in charge of Debra's case, Helen e-mailed me, saying that DNA has been submitted and they are waiting for the lab to complete the testing.
Helen asked him to contact her once it is complete in order to do a comparison.
