TX TX - Houston, on I-10, BlkFem 25-35, UP4565, turquoise ring, clothes, Sep'76

In this area it's not only hot it is HUMID- almost year round. I dont see how she could stand to wear all of those clothes even if she were in the back of a pickup truck. The humid weather here makes your clothes stick to you in the most uncomfortable way possible!

Yeah, and the weather data you found confirms it was like that on the day she jumped. But it doesn't seem like homeless person clothing either.

I wonder if she was being held by a through trucker and knew she was going to have to jump and grabbed some of his clothing to pad herself for the fall?

Says the height and weight given are approximations.

But I am thinking at 17 she would be too young to be this UID.

Here is the collage of Mabel and Jump off truck Lady. It looks like they provided an artist sketch? The mouth/teeth look similar as do eyes. Nose way off:

Good catch annemc2!!! And I was soooo sure.... My earlier suggestion (on another thread) was Debra Stewart who went missing in May of 1976 from Austin.

Did we ever submit Debra Stewart? She's a bit short but otherwise seems to fit rather well.

I noticed Francis Heath from Crossett, AR who went missing on a bus trip to El Paso, TX in 1974. At 39, Francis is a little over the estimated age but I think the other stats are fairly close and, from what they were both wearing, both women seem to like layered clothing and plaid shirts. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to locate a photo of Francis. https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/23909/169

Debra Stewart? Age is slightly out but she dissappeared from Texas.

( I see she has been suggested before.)

Barbara Jolly went missing from Washington state in August of 1976. She was 5'8" and 130 lbs which is consistent with UID. She was 19. There is no picture, but dentals are available.

Picture available for Barbara. Hmmm....

Do we know if there were any truck driving criminals out and about at this time?
For example, Robert Ben Rhodes...

I hope this Doe is one day identified!

 

[Houston Mom]

Barbara Jolly ruled out by dentals.

what about Francis Loretta Heath http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/w/wells_francis.html
https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/23909/4/

bad photo for sure and not sure about the age, it said 39 and then 45, She looks close based on her slim nose...

 

[Houston Mom]

Actually, the clothes are similar. Nothing to compare so family would have to view morgue pictures. I say submit it!!

 

[Moonwalker9]

Do I need to register there to submit? I never did it before

 

[Houston Mom]

No, just call the number for Harris County Forensic Science Institute under contacts for UID

 

[Moonwalker9]

I live in Europe. Can you do it?

 

[Houston Mom]

Absolutely!

 

[Moonwalker9]

Thank you HoustonMom! That's nice of you.

what do you think of these? they were discussed in other threads but I think they could be matches too.

Moonwalker9 Dr. D has responded that UID can be excluded from photo. Looks like DNA on UID is necessary.
