She would hqve died at 102 if that was the same Bessie. Highly unlikely. It is just the same name
Yes, this particular Bessie Linder died at that age. It's based on the Social Security Death Index, which publishes both the birthdate and death date.
These reports NAMUS really don't provide much information and don't provide any evidence that someone is actively looking for her. So it could have been that a report was taken and it was never closed.
Then there is a NAMUS case where a girl ran away in 2016. She returned in 2019. NAMUS still has her missing. There had been an amber alert in that case.
By bringing people, information, forensic science and technology together, NamUs helps resolve cases.

SAN ANTONIO (
KABB) - A girl who has been missing for three years is back home with her family.
Mariah Garcia was only 14-years-old when she disappeared from her home. At the time, the San Antonio Police Department said she left her home near Buena Vista and Commerce Street on the West Side.
Her case was picked up the the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. They also recently completed an age progression to show what she would look like at the age of 17.
Yet, she persists in NAMUS. I don't think those files are monitored very well by LE

There was also a Bessie Lindner who was the same age. She was from Scotland and married someone named Lindner. They got divorced and she apparently died in 1979 in another state. She never became a US citizen. --Keep in mind that Charley Project calls her Bessie Lindner and not Bessie Linder, so I looked into that name.

I think many of those old cases like this just sit there.......Record keeping was not good back then....Especially if she died in 1979 in another state under another name....
