This is great news after a long time of Pem not being on some missing persons site.

Amazing news! Based on the NamUs description, it should be easy to compare her to Valencia Jane Doe as Pem has a crooked front tooth. Of course, DNA is the preferable route.

It also says Pem has a cleft chin. I didn't initially notice it, but Valencia Jane Doe's reconstruction seems to depict a vague cleft chin too. I may just be seeing things, and I'm not sure if you can tell that from a skull.

I noticed some inconsistencies in the NamUs profile though. In the description it says 1973, the date says 1979, the thread title says 1977, but I've also seen 1978. What year was Pem last seen?

ya I let the detective know there was that mistake regarding the 1973, she was last seen between 1978-1979. And yes! I was coming on this website to update you all that Pem is finally in NamUs!

Two DNA samples have been taken from half siblings of Pem to be entered and compared to a Jane Doe we think might be her.

What good news! Could you pass the information on that Jane Doe here?

Bumping for Pem. Hoping we get some answers about her and Valencia Jane Doe soon.

I'm praying that at least one of these girls gets her name back.

I just wondered, since Pem went to find her Dad, well did she find him? Was he ever spoken to?

 

[SimsGuy67]

Pem leaving to find her dad is reminiscent of Gwenn Story (Sahara Sue). I'm really hoping that Pem's case has a happier outcome than Gwenn's if she doesn't turn out to be Valencia Jane Doe.

However, with the time it's been since Pem was last known to be alive, I'm hoping she's found, even if she isn't alive anymore.

no, she did not. Her mom was unsure who her dad was. And she has passed, so we will never know.

 

[jenni4hays]

We are still waiting for word back regarding DNA match or not....I will let you all know as soon as I hear something back.

 

[Diavola]

no, she did not. Her mom was unsure who her dad was. And she has passed, so we will never know.

How was she gonna find her dad if she doesn't know who it is? Did she have someone in mind?

 

[Dewana]

no, she did not. Her mom was unsure who her dad was. And she has passed, so we will never know.

I was never told she went to find her dad. I have no idea where that story came from? Jenni4hays never met our mother.

So she had no one in mind. Does that even make sense she went to look for.....nobody...?ridiculous
