The article indicates that the "Hot Lead" is of a woman from Anderson SC.

Frankie Viola Hurst was from Anderson.

ETA: And she is wearing a similar ear-stud in a few of her photos.

This article also says the woman is believed to be white. Do they no longer believe she was mixed race? The Namus page says white under Demographics, but in the Notes section, it says likely to be mixed race.

Didn't they say post mortem time frame was 5-6 years. This woman went missing in 1989. That is a huge difference. Not that we haven't seen those differences before though!!! I hope they are close to giving this woman a name and sending her home!

Just this week, they announced that Priscilla Ann Blevins of Charlotte NC, who was last seen in 1975 was matched to skeletal remains found in 1985 alongside I-40 in North Carolina.

On the UID's DoeNet page, it indicated that the remains had only been there about a year.

Whoops sorry getting my cases mixed up then. Do they have a post mitten timeline die this body?

Any updates?

Any updates?

They have added 8 people to the NamUs rule out list since Sept 2012 (there are now 75). It looks like they just updated the profile on Nov 7, 2013 (not sure what they updated) so it looks like they are still working on the case...

Possibly Joan Cook? Thoughts?

The gender, age, height, ear piercings, & race are a match. Hair color matches, but style doesn't... maybe she cut her hair? The eyes look similar to me; I see differences in the nose/cheek bones, but reconstructions can be off. Joan was in last contact on Jan 25, 2010 and appeared to be headed south on Interstate 81 (possibly hitch hiking) in Roanoke County, VA.

Is there any resemblance to Debra Herms-Childers? I see they are looking for her in S.C.

She had short reddish-brown hair. Her ears had been pierced at least once, and a gold stem with a red stone earring was found by the side of the head. Investigators called to the scene found evidence that she was killed before her body was hidden under debris.

Gosh she is still in sequencing according to the DDP FB list. That's a long time I guess we'll never know if it's sample issues or COVID shutdown/lab repurposing that is delaying things.

It could be partly just typical lab difficulties, Jackson Co JD and Marion Co JD were in the lab phase for extremely long times.

According to the DNA Doe Project Facebook page, her DNA has been uploaded to GEDmatch.

Does anyone think this woman could be a match? Karma Jo Bohlen

A lot of the info lines up.

I posted in the Karma Jo Bohlen forum also.
