Wow, got the form letter response back really quickly, so I hope that means they're going to look or think it's a good potential match. It's so difficult to tell these days.

Hi has anyone considered these two women?
Judy Sylvester
Judy Ann Sylvester – The Charley Project

Judy Martins
Judy Martins – The Charley Project
I know Martins has a suspected killer (William Posey) and they both went missing a few years before the woman was found, but I might as well bring it up!

I think Judy Martins can be excluded due to the fact that she is said to have had her wisdom teeth removed and the UID still had hers. Not sure about Judy Sylvester.... I can’t see the list of exclusions at the moments.

(2012) The Frederick Police Department released a digital image of the victim in 'the woman in the trunk' 1982 murder.

Trunk Lady was located in a steamer trunk (footlocker) located just off a roadway in Gambrills State Park, in Frederick, Maryland on August 24, 1982. The trunk had leaves and sticks scattered over it but it was not hidden. Investigators don't know how she died, where she died, or who she is. The bones were found in an area known as the Frederick Municipal Forest. Back in 1982, it was known as the Frederick City Watershed because all the water that falls in the mountains drains into the city's reservoir. In the heat of the summer in August, a man and a woman were up there looking for mushrooms and they made the horrible discovery. Forensic dentists have produced a dental chart that indicates she had work done at a dental school. Investigators do not believe she is from the Frederick area.

I've never been comfortable with 'cheerleader in the trunk'. makes it sound like she was a teenage schoolgirl sexdoll for a boy exploring his fetish.

They never ruled Virginia Alice Welch out?

 

[John/Jane Doe]

On reddit someone told me that I sent Deborah A. McCall and Diane Genice Dye as possible matches but never got a response, would they have been discarded?

I was the one who submitted them as matches, and I did so on Doe Network, but I've still yet to hear anything.

They never ruled Virginia Alice Welch out?

The last we heard, they couldn't rule Virginia in or out because they couldn't find identifiers for her.

Has anybody heard anything new?

It's so odd because her DoeNetwork profile claims that she has all identifiers available. I can't believe they went to the media with this possible ID 15 years ago and nothing has happened since.

I double checked their Namus pages and they aren't on each other's exclusions.

It's great to see that so much is going on here regarding this case. I've been following it for some time now.

I seem to recall what you are saying about Virginia having no identifiers, but I just checked Virginia's Doe Network page and it states all 3 are now available. So now I'm wondering if she's a default rule out.
Dentals: Available
Fingerprints: Available
DNA: Available

Bumping this to say that I wrote an article on this case! I included the most shared potential matches in it that seem to have been put forward by multiple people, but if you were the only person to put forward a theory and want credit let me know. I can also add more theories, the article is published but still editable:
The Mystery Of The Cheerleader In The Trunk
I'm hoping for more movement in this case, I want her to be identified before the forty year anniversary of her discovery.
