NamUs is still showing just 6 rule-outs on Princess Doe:

Donna Barnhill
Toni McNatt-Chiappetta
Judith ODonnell
Kathryn Quackenbush
Michele Reidenbach
Karen Zendrosky

I noticed Diane Dye is not listed as a rule-out. Wasn't she ruled out quite some time ago?

I think the "possible matches" list on the Princess Doe site was last updated in 2009, but I'm not certain.

Diane has been ruled out per this link... http://www.princessdoe.org/theory.html

This is probably a dumb question, but why isn't Diane Dye ruled out on NamUs?

The NamUs rule-out lists reflect only those possible matches that have been brought forward via their automated matching system.

I believe that there is a means to insert a name onto the list without NamUs having suggested the name, but very few case managers do that.

If someone is ruled out via the normal LE investigative process (i.e., outside of NamUs), they don't usually put them on the NamUs rule-out list.

Thank you for the information, that's good to know.

Princess Doe was actually tested and ruled out twice as being Diane Dye. And some girls on the PM list have turned up deceased, such as Alison Marie Mims

Last week, a forensics lab in Utah received 40 strands of the girl’s hair. Those locks contain the chemical composition of the water the girl was drinking for as long as her hair was growing.

Also, that is not an "ankle length" skirt.

The princess Doe case was featured on CNN back in July to call attention to the new facial reconstruction.

In this article it states that someone else's DNA has been identified on the remains! I didn't see where anyone else had pointed that out so sorry if that's a repeat fact! Fingers crossed that her perp was eventually caught for some crime and his DNA was taken. Princess was found almost a year before I was born, and would have been around my mother's age at the time of her death. I hope this is the break that will give her name back to her and return her to her family.

This is my first WS post so be easy on me! I have been lurking :lurk: for several years!

Thanks for joining, WhatANiceGirl, and :welcome: to Websleuths.

I wonder what form the DNA came in. Was it semen found in her body? or skin cells and/or blood on her body and clothing? I know you don't know the answer to that, but I'm just wondering aloud.

The fact that a male's DNA is on her body might not lead to much considering that she was believed to have been a prostitute.

 

[amber1]

At least it's something after all these years! I hope they find out much more!

Then again it could close solve more murders.

"Identifying Princess Doe: 30 Years After She Was Slain, New Technology May ID Her and The Killer"

This thorough article brings the read up-to-date on the complete history of the case, top-theories, and the career-long dedication of two NJ detectives who vow to one day solve her identity...

Out of all the Pms on the Princess Doe Site, I have always thought Melinda Creech was a very good PM, just because her vital stats fit Princess Doe's, and the circumstances do as well-Melinda ran away-maybe she ran away to New YorK? Ended up in LI, met some pimp, and ended up in NJ? It's possible!
Or maybe she was never reported missing...

Investigator Spiers on CNN RIGHT NOW talking about results from hair and tooth testing from Princess Doe. 3 people have told them they bought the same dress she was wearing in the Long Island area. Testing has made them focus on the possiblity that she could have lived in Arizona at some point in her early years. In the 18 months or so before she died she lived in both region 1 of the United States and region 2. (???) I'm typing fast and I missed exactly which region, which months, etc. He said they also recieved a tip about someone thinking she could be a missing person from Connecticut, so they're looking into that too, but he feels like they are getting closer.

 

[carbuff]

I'm guessing the Connecticut woman they're looking at is Patricia Vaughan, 19, who went missing from Fairfield in May 1982. She's in NamUs at https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/3292/17/ and does resemble the reconstruction.

 

[traacker13]

I can't figure out how to post her doe network page from my phone but I've always suspected that Amy Yachimec may be princess doe and now the test results of her teeth may point towards her as a possibility...

Hmm ya I can see Patricia fitting the reconstruction. Considering she's a year out the age range and 3" taller, I can even see why she might have been overlooked previously.

Amy's page: http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/y/yachimec_amy.html

 

[airplanelamp]

I agree that Amy seems like a valid match. Note that she was wearing a thin gold necklace, as was PrincessDoe. And, She really does resemble the latest composite.
