There is something about Janet Kramer, who was recently listed on NamUs, that made me think about the young woman found in Arroyo Grande, yet she went missing at 14 in 1971, this would have made her about 24 in 1980. Her nose looks different than the UID, but I wonder if it was swollen for some reason or another in the photo because the rest of her face really looks like this woman's (IMO).

Hey Ambercat,
I really like this as a possible for AGJD. I also, did a little photo overlay work and think that the facial bone structure lines up very well.
Here a breakdown of why I like the match:
Height: 5 fl compared to 5'2"
Weight: 110-130 compared to 105
Hair: brown compared to red/blonde
Eye color: hazel compared to blue/green or hazel
Age: 14-15 in 1971 (so 23-24 in 1980) compared to 14-24
Broken arm at elbow age 6 -- no broken bones reported for AGJD
One prevailing theory has been that AGJD was a runaway from an orphanage or home that wasn't reported timely, or ever. Janet's NamUs was only just entered this summer.
When I asked about Beverly's finger prints tonight I included your possible match of Janet Kramer.
I'll let all know what I hear back from Clark County.
On a very sad note, when blowing up this photo of Janet, I noticed an abrasion on her right cheek and swelling around her left eye -- which has a petechial hemorrhage visible. Can't tell if her nose was also swollen in the picture, but she def has some other noticeable injuries. Geezz...what in the world was happening to this child???
ETA: Rick thinks this submission looks very interesting. He will watch for the DNA.
