Thanks you for contacting him. Well the JD doesn't have dna available. Do we know if they can run tests on her to complete it?

She is most probably on the list to be exhumed... BTW Dr D is a "she"! Very dedicated lady!

I was just coming here to suggest her as well! Good sleuthing Houston Mom!

 

[Moonwalker9]

Looks like a possible match. The nose and teeth are similar and they're both light skinned. Cheryl was added on namus only mars 2019. The missing date of 1 Jan 73 indicates they don't know when exactly she went missing. Looks promising.

This is one of Carl's reconstructions

Wow. It is absolutely uncanny. I really hope this a match. Great work, Houston Mom! Much love.

 

[sleuthbrarian]

I'm new here but I also noticed the similarities and submitted Cheryl Lanier for this. I became interested after reading about serial killer Samuel Little and his unmatched confession: Black female between 25-28 years old killed between 1976 and 1979 or in 1993. (Samuel Little: Confessions of a Killer | Federal Bureau of Investigation)

I think the sketch resembles the UID: https://www.fbi.gov/image-repositor...-victim-black-female-houston-1976-79-1993.jpg

I'm sure there is no way to ever prove this (even if it wasn't such a long-shot) but just thought I'd share.

Jennifer Barton is the only ruleout listed.

Pretty sure there were other women ruled out though. Barbara Jolley was one.

 

[MadMcGoo]

Refreshing the thread... still only the one exclusion listed.

 

[Moonwalker9]

Let's bump this one too. I feel like she has quite a unique look and should be easy to id. But 45 years passed with no answer.

 

[MadMcGoo]

She has very nice teeth. Something you don’t often see in transient people.

 

[Rbkidk]

Bumping!
Hoping to see an updated exclusion list.

Hi, I have made a connection with this Jane Doe and a missing person case out of California, Cheryl Lanier, NamUs #MP56066. I sent in my info to NamUs a couple months ago, but have not seen any activity on her Namus page or the MP page. I did receive an email stating they were forwarding to appropriate agencies, but it seemed like a generic reply. I have a very good superimposement/comparison video, if I'm able to figure out how to upload it here. The video and still pics I have show an almost 100% match..I just don't know what more I can do to get this lady's family the closure they need. Feel free to message me on Facebook messenger ( Kristi Parfait ). I will upload a few pics, but the video is too large. Message me on Facebook messenger if you would like to see the video. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Kristal_Parfait]

I also see that HoustonMom has made the connection as well!! So awesome!! Has there been any updates from when you submitted your info??

I have a superimposement/comparison video if you would be interested in it...It was too big to upload here, but I did capture several pics of the video and uploaded them in my reply on this thread..

 

[Houston Mom]

I remain in contact with Harris County Forensic Science Institute and they have not received feedback from California on Cheryl Lanier. Sad....

Does anyone know if Cheryl Lanier was ultimately ruled out as this Jane Doe or not?
