Just fyi -- I've been going through this entire thread trying to develop a list of who's been proposed and eliminated. It's taking a while, though.
I'm giving up on this list. I'm just duplicating the contents of Doenet and Namus.
Essentially every female of the right age in all the public missing persons listings has been compared to Cali and not matched.
LE has said this a couple of times, and they appear to be exactly right.
At this point the only people worth submitting would be ones we locate outside of the missing persons websites, or from overseas, or who hasn't been listed in the websites before.
I've come to that conclusion some time ago, not just with regard to Cali, but also the other high-profile UID's (e.g., Buckskin Girl, Walker County JD, Smurfette, Arroyo Grande, "Lori Ruff", Grateful Dead "Jason", etc., etc., etc.)
I was looking at a case just added to NAMUS in 2013. Blows my mind, because she vanished in the '70s. Makes me wonder what other people weren't reported missing-.-
Those are the people who are our UIDs! Frustrating.
Don't forget all the people who WERE reported, but their reports were never digitized, and their families haven't or can't take up their cause on the internet. I am sure there are more than a few warehouses out there filled with rotting boxes of files and no money to enter them.
Many files have also been lost forever: fires, floods, rats or whatever.
Some of the older cases- like those around 1970- if they went missing as a teen, there is a good chance their parents are gone and weren't able to bring the case forward.
10 Mysterious Cases Involving Unidentified People
In 2006, three microscopic pollen grains found inside her clothing were analyzed and it was determined they could have only come from Florida, Arizona or Southern California, indicating that the girl had traveled a great distance before her death. But even though authorities have followed up on over 10,000 leads, she has yet to be identified and remains buried under the name “Jane Doe” in Dansville, New York.
It could be, but she would have picked a jacket and pants that came from the same previous owner. It would be a bit coincidental.
And then you also have the isotope testing that puts her in the same place.
Just a couple of concerns:
1) two of the four pictures on the Doe network show blue eyes, not brown.
2) Isotope testing and pollen testing states areas such as: California, New Mexico and Arizona, yet on the DOE network they stated the police likely thought she was from Canada given the area she was found.
"Locale of Region Caledonia, NY is located in the Finger Lakes region of the state and is close in proximity to the Canadian border. Some theories about the victim's identity include the possibility that she was not American, but Canadian. Searches of the Canadian missing persons' databases have not provided any information on a possible ID match for this victim- Doe Network.
But then the next paragraph says "She had tan lines, suggesting that she had recently lain in the sun in a halter top. Tanning salons were not common in 1979, it is believed that she had recently vacationed somewhere tropical or was from a region more conducive to tanning in November".
Now indicating that she was from somewhere tropical, leading to more confusion. I can personally say as a half Native and half french women when I tan in the sun my tan lines last til January and beyond. For example" Last summer In the end of August, I was in the lake up north and was not severely burnt but close enough wearing a off shoulder top. I can still see the outline of the tan clearly which has been there since August 2012 (now July 2013) and it refuses to go . I don't think it's impossible to still have a "fresh" tan in November if it was Acquired in August or September from somewhere in the general area. Then again Isotope testing stated the states (New mexico, California and areas) So why did they suggest Canada?
As I was looking at Canada Missing children I came across a little girl who went missing when she was Camping: Diane Prevost (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/1889dfon.html)
In the website her parents made they suggested that she was afraid of water and had headed to the trailer. They had gone to this spot almost every weekend so the area was known to them and they knew the frequent visitors and they waited an hour before calling the police.
It states on the website " Bernard (Father) wanted the police to call the USA and Canadian borders to advise them of his missing daughter but the police said they would find her in the park. The park was officially closed but people could still camp. The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) would come by at night to collect the camping fees. The gates to the park were left open. The police started looking, but to no avail. Night fall arrived and Bernard told the police to close the gate of the park so that no cars could go in or out of the park during the night. The police would not agree. They didn´t want to close the gates
To me it feels like he knew she was taken, any parent would have searched high and low but he didn't want them to search the forest, he wanted to search outside.
Anyways, Is it possible someone abducted Cali as a child or baby and that is why there is no updated photo? Could that be the reason she was never given proper medical care, because they couldn't? This is what I asked myself when I was searching and found Diane Prevost.
Some Facts:
-Diane went missing in 1966 (No remains found)
-Diane would have been 15 in 1979
-Diane had Brown hair and brown eyes
-Diane had a burn mark on her knee where a iron had touched it
-The unidentified had a burn mark in the inner thigh (Read once it was the lower thigh), and a scar on the left and right knee
-Diane had stitches on her foot
-Unidentified had scar on right foot.
I could be so wrong, but I mean it's better then not looking. Sorry if I wasted all your time with my extravagant theory.

In the afternoon, Claire and I and our four kids, Joanne, Claude, Lise and Diane decided to go to the beach. I went fishing on the dock about 500 ft away from our camping ground, while Claire, Joanne, Claude, and Lise looked for frogs. Diane was scared of the water so she played in the sand closer to the bushes. After awhile Diane wanted to go back to the trailer to be with her grand-parents (pepere and memere) and I said I would bring her back. One of the kids had tangled the line on the fishing rod. I work to fix the line but when I looked back Diane was gone so Claire ran back to the trailer to see if she was there but she wasn´t.
We all started to run around and shouting her name but with no luck. After a while we called in the O.P.P.
When the O.P.P. arrived at the park I asked them to put road blocks and notify the USA and Canada borders because I had a feeling that she wasn´t in the park. The police said we would find her in the park. They concentrated their search by the lake. All night we kept driving the roads yelling and listening but were met with no answer. The next day the O.P.P. brought in divers to search the lake but I kept telling them she is not there because she was afraid of the water but they kept searching the lake.
After a few days, they brought in about 20 O.P.P. officers to head the ground search that lasted about a month and no clues were found as to what happened to her or her disappearance.
They also brought in blood hounds dogs to see if they could pick up her scent or any trace of her. The dogs kept going back and forth to where our trailer was parked because Diane had walked that trail a few times that day.
Does anyone know about the dna testing that people are mainly doing for geneology? A couple of different companies offer it now for around a $100. They basically send you a box, you spit in the box and send it back. You get access to their website which will tell you what % of different origins you are. Also, your dna is put in a data base with others who have used this service. So if there are any, even remote matches (like 5th and 6th cousins) it will show up on a map of where they're located and possibly who they are, I think. So you can find family you didn't even know you had. Maybe as this gains in popularity, eventually in the future a relative may turn up, if not already.
I wonder if it has to be saliva used though? And if so, are there any usable samples the police could do this with? Even if they found a distant relative that has the same dna, they could probably trace the family tree back some how, and find out who she is.
