I will share that he told me she was someone that he didn't believe was ever reported missing...
Snipped by me....
Pardon my ignorance, so does that mean she had some type of criminal record and was identified that way?

Whether "we" identified her or not, it still was important to constantly show our concern that she be identified. She was not just a homeless, drug addict- a nobody, unworthy of the effort required to identify her. We cared, whether we found her correct name or not.
once family is notified, family will notify friends, so it may be a few days before we know, if ever. I also live in Las Vegas-the homeless here have been roughly estimated at 8,000 people, and most think that number is too low. LV has an annual "count the homeless" event. There are also a large number of homeless that live in the underground tunnels/drainage system that runs under a large portion of the city. Recently the local paper reported on a growing encampment of homeless military veterans located in a certain area. Very sad.
Yep -- someone called it. She was probably one of the tunnel people!!
Wait so I wonder how she got the tattoo if she was homeless... Like was she recently homeless, long time homeless? Would love to know her motivation for jumping on a tanker...

I sent Sgt. W a congratulatory email and he said they always appreciate citizen involvement
I'm not sure if WS played a primary part in helping solve her identity but I do know that I, personally, am so grateful that we all can come together and bounce ideas off of one another. If train jane thought no one cared, well, she was wrong. We all cared about her, even though we didn't know her. It's a shame we can't all fly out to Utah, meet and pay our respects. I'm so glad we have the resources available to us (contact with LEO, the NAMUS database, etc) and I'm so glad to know all of you!!!
