Danielyelle White has been excluded.
This was the first victim of Shawn Grate who has just confessed that he killed her along with several other woman. She is still unidentified. He said she was a magazine salesperson and she came to his home. He thought her name was Dana or Diane.
My previous reconstruction of this girl was basically just a colorization of the NCMEC reconstruction. But since the Marion County LE released the sketch that was based on Shaun Grate's description of the victim, it was obvious that my previous colorization needed a major overhaul.
This revision is based on the structure depicted in the the NCMEC facial reconstruction, and the overall look described by Shaun Grate.

So glad to see the activity on this thread! Thanks so much for the new colorized reconstruction - I really think that Lisa "Darla" Douglas is a very, very close fit. I am not good at creating the side-by-side comparisons, but this new sketch bears a strong resemblance to the photos of Lisa/Darla. Along with the fact that she was from MI and went to OH. She has already been submitted to NAMUS- I hope they can match or eliminate soon.

Woah. I never really thought of it that way, this is very true. I just can't get over that if she WAS from Ohio, then why hasn't anyone come forward, it breaks my heart that she was forgotten.
Authorities are still trying to identify the first alleged victim of Shawn Grate, the suspected Ohio serial killer who is charged with killing two women and a suspect in two more murders.
Its frustrating, Marion County Sheriff Tim Bailey tells PEOPLE. Very, very frustrating. Particularly for my people who want to identify her and get her back to her family.
Grate allegedly confessed to Does murder after his arrest days earlier in Ashland, two counties east of Marion, after police received a desperate 911 call from a woman who alleged Grate had abducted her.
When they were putting him back in his jail cell he [allegedly] said Well, yeah, I killed a girl in Marion,' Bailey tells PEOPLE. It was that easy.
Grate allegedly told authorities the womans name was Diana, Dana or Dina. He allegedly said she sold magazines. He believed she was from Ohio but couldnt remember her full name.
Bailey believes Doe may be from out of the country. He tells PEOPLE he is currently working with another agency following a new lead. He could not comment further on the lead, citing the ongoing investigation.
Its to a personal level of wanting to bring this girl home, Bailey says. She was found on a road called Victory Road so internally the guys here are calling her Vicky. It puts a name to a face, and even after all these years, every time we get a lead we still get a little excited.
