Thanks for sharing. When I saw her profile pop up in NamUs yesterday, I was wondering what a little background was on her disappearance.

 

[sonz82]

The article mentions Rosmarian Lancaster catholic high school and a tribute to her in the 1992 yearbook but that yearbook isnt on classmates

It could be, Pa to Texas is a longshot but I have seen people found across the country.

Me too. Many end up elsewhere...e.g Marlyse and her daughters were recovered on the opposite side of the country from where they vanished.

The article that was posted says that
Adriana dumped out a school bag and filled it with some clothes that were missing from her bedroom so if she ran away, she could be anywhere

I thought the artist's rendering of 95UFTX looked a lot like Adriana but after looking at the post-mortem photos, I really doubt it's her. I did a side-by-side comparison of Adriana and the artist's rendering.

 

[StarrChance]

So there is a suspect but not named?

Later articles suggest foul play, she did not run away or pack a bag, also her purse left behind and untouched bank account. I can post if anyone is interested.

It says in one of the articles that her schoolbag and some clothes were missing

Conflicting, so who knows..
Frustrating they have a suspect , someone she knew well but never named. Perhaps a relative?

Bumping for Adriana.

 

[JnRyan]

Her case is featured today on The Charley Project. Supposedly LE has a suspect in mind. But her mother has serious doubts about that theory as referenced in post #11 above.

 

[MadMcGoo]

Did anyone ever submit her as a possible match to the TX Doe? Seems like a good possibility.

@carbuff Are you the person who said they don't mind looking up any rule-outs in NamUs for cases? (Sorry, if it's not you...) Adriana Bejarano.
