I believe they can determine paternity from the DNA of a child (or in this case fetus) but they would have to be able to extract a sample from the fetus and the father would have to be in a DNA databank to find a match.

It is unknown if the additional clothing belonged to the victim.

The victim was located on January 24, 1988, when a man walking his dog discovered the skeletal remains in a valve/pumphouse at the old Publicker distillery property on State Road in Bensalem.
About 8 inches of water and oil fuel had to be pumped out of the vault-like structure to retrieve the remains.
The pumphouse, which is mostly underground, houses pipes and valves that connect to a concrete storage tank, which was once used to store distilled spirits that had been manufactured at the distillery. The distillery was closed down in the early 70s. In 1974, the six huge storage tanks on the property were being used to store fuel oil, which in all likelyhood was the cause of the oil found in the pumphouse. By the time the victim was found, the property had become an illegal dumping ground for stolen vehicles and was well known to local criminals.
Flyers with a picture of the above reconstruction were distributed to school guidance counselors and doctors' offices (particulary obstetrician/gynecologists), clinics and local police departments. Dental records were also distributed. There were, at the time, 50 missing person reports nationwide that fit the description of the woman, but all of them were eliminated from the investigation.
Hi All, What if Jane Doe was Jan Stonehouse (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/1268dfon.html)? The extra clothing and shoes could have belonged to her friend, Darlene Tucker (http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/246dfon.html), whom went missing a month before Jan disappeared.
Here is another one and she would have been 23 if this had occurred back in 1983. She fits the description and the man said they were in Penn.

I don't see where Mary Frances Gregory was ever ruled out. Hmmmmm
Bump. I think Jinisina Stonehouse is a good match..although I don't know how she would end up in PA from Canada.
I don't see where Mary Frances Gregory was ever ruled out. Hmmmmm
This could be Rose Marie Gayhart.

Description of teeth are similar (chip on front tooth , missing teeth) Both the missing person and UID were pregnant. Rose Marie Gayhart was living in Florida, perhaps on her way home in NY when she met with foul play.
I submitted a possible match to the Doe Network. I received a reply that one has already been submitted so others are looking into this. DNA is available for both the unidentified person and Rose Marie Gayhart, so a comparison can determine if this is Rose Marie Gayhart or not.
Did you ever receive an answer on this? I'm curious because Rose now has a forum set up & I'd like to try to track which UIDs are ruled out. Seems not to be in her NAMUS at this time. Thank you!
