Both. Neither. Crazy but true, lol. It depends on when they went missing and what the circumstances were...even where they went missing. Some of these old cases that happened in smaller jurisdictions this may be their only cold case missing person, or one of maybe four or five. OTOH, enough people go missing in NYC every year that they just don't have the manpower to go back and get family DNA from all of their missing. Nowadays I think it's more likely that familial DNA will be taken, but it's still not a guarantee.

The family of the missing person can also take the initiative in getting DNA reference samples for their loved one.

Why else would it go away unless SJD is identified? Or is NAMUS planning to make the ruleouts inaccessible too? I don't get it.

No, it wouldn't go away unless she's identified, but in many cases the first clue we have that there's been a match is when the case becomes inaccessible.

Thought I missed an update... The last time her case was updated for Ruled out (228) - Update 8/17/2013
Nellie Flickinger 1949 Pennsylvania 8/17/2013
 
Anne went missing from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 1982 at the age of 25. Her age in 1987 would put her at top of SJD's estimated age range (30 years). Height and hair color are SJD range.
Anne's link is below:
http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/1569dfpa.html

She also has a page on websleuths:
websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=157442&highlight=anne+lillian+riggin

Anne is listed as having a previously fractured collarbone
She is not on the 228 name ruleout list for SJD.

Imagine her with slightly shorter hair. Her nose and chin look similar to SJD reconstruction-I think her eyes also resemble SJD.

What does everyone think about Anne as a possible SJD ? TIA

Anne Lillian Riggin is also on NamUs also has DNA. I say submit her at least she may officially get added to the rule outs

WS link PA - Anne Lillian Riggin, 25, Dauphin County, 28 May 1982
 
Do I email the person on Anne's NAMUS MP page that is listed as being at UNT, or do I call the corporal listed on her MP page? Or should I start with a phone call to the Knox County coroner's office- no email listed for them. Thank you for any help or advice.

I'm on my way out but google Knox coroner; positive we've emailed them then submit one to Ann's people to cover both sides; that's what we normally do
 
I was looking up Anne's info to double check NCIC numbers, etc. in preparation for contacting the Knox County TN coroner about a possible match with SJD. By mistake I clicked on the next MP listed after Anne on the doenetwork site. She also matches Shotgun Jane Doe's description with height, weight, etc. This MP 's name is Barbara Shumac, also missing from PA since 1982. The links are below:

www.doenetwork.org/cases/919dfpa.html
http://charleyproject.org/cases/s/shumac_barbara.html
www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/2499/0/


Barbara is not on the 228 name ruleout list either. It sounds like noone could remember her exact height-there is a range of 4 inch differences.


Now I am thinking maybe submit both Anne and Barbara at the same time? Does anyone else see a resemblance to SJD in Barbara's photo? Or am I imagining things? Barbara's hairstyle is hiding her earlobes so I cannot tell the shape (attached lobes or non-attached) of Barbara's earlobes to compare them with SJD. What if Barbara sold/pawned the gun missing from her house and used the money to leave PA?

BTW I will have to call the Knox County coroner to get their email address- I can't find an email listed while Google searching.

Submit her too. Surprised she's not on my pick thru list. I also had her from PA- NamUs says there is DNA.
Alicia Bernice Markovich
Missing since April 26, 1987 from Blairsville, Indiana County, Pennsylvania.
Date Of Birth: February 20, 1972
Age at Time of Disappearance: 15 years old
Height and Weight at Time of Disappearance: 5'2; 120 pounds
Distinguishing Characteristics: White female. Brown hair; blue eyes
Clothing: She was last seen wearing a white crop top with red, yellow and blue stripes, jeans and white tennis shoes. She was carrying purple sunglasses.
Dentals: Available

I found a "cold case" email address for the Knox County sheriff's office. I just emailed them about both Anne and Barbara-sent the links for both as well as their NCIC case numbers. I am thinking about calling them on Monday just to make sure they received the email.

When I called the Knox County coroner's office on 3 separate days, ( Thursday, yesterday and today) the people who answered the phone in the coroner's office both days had NO idea what I was talking about. One told me they "had no unidentified dead people in their office right now". :banghead: They recommended I call the Knoxville PD. On second thought, maybe they have id'ed her in the last 2 days?

I looked at Alicia's info-definitely a possibility. My only concern is that Alicia's nose looks wider than SJD's by the nostril area. Are you going to submit her? I found another possible, but I cannot imagine she would be in SJD 's situation voluntarily. I can PM you privately with that MP name and links if it 's OK- I will explain why in the PM I don't want to post it openly at this point. If you think this person might be a likely "possible" then I would post it publicly.


BTW, do we know if SJD's earlobes were attached or not? I don't remember ever seeing that discussed and I didn't see that info on SJD Namus page.
 
Check your PMs please. I PM'd you the email contact for SJD & a few other things. I'll be surprised if the investigator speaks to you.

Thank you so much. I have replied to your PMs this morning- please check.
 
I submitted Anne Lillian Riggin and Barbara Shumac, both missing since 1982 from Pennsylvania to the Knox Co. coroner's office as possible matches to SJD.
Both are listed in NAMUS as MPs, so hopefully it will be a fairly quick determination either way. Neither was on the 228 name ruleout list.
 
Just to keep everyone updated....

I checked SJD Namus UP 1567 page last night. It has now been updated to show 230 ruleouts, so 2 more names have been added as being ruled out. Not sure who, haven't had time to go through the list and see who's newly ruled out.
I did receive an email saying Barbara Shumac has been ruled out based on dentals, but her name is not on the ruleout list yet.
 
What do you think of this girl, Janet Knife missing from Missouri since Nov 1986. Here namus profile states that she was overdue to arrive in Georgia. Her vehicle and belongings were found in Fultondale AL...

https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/23988/79/

Here is a side by side of Shotgun Jane Doe and Janet

607UFTN.jpg Janet Knife.png


Janet is listed as being 5'5 and 115 lbs when she went missing. It doesn't list really any physical/medical issues other than she has brown hair and glasses.

I figured it was worth a shot since she isn't listed on the ruleout list. Janet's case was just uploaded to NamUs on March 26th.
 
Very strong facial resemblance. SJD wasn't wearing glasses AFAIK, but that's probably neither here nor there.

There is no mention of the prior injuries or prior tattoo, or childbirth history; but I would still submit just to make sure.
