The last image on the Doe page resembles Terry's Charlie Project image, a lot. And there is no getting past the fact that Doe and Terry look to have nearly the same dental issue. (the pictures aren't really big enough to officially conclude that the dental issue is one in the same for Doe and Terry). Terry's statistics in height and age fall within the height and age thought to be of Doe. I would definitely contact someone about this... great sleuthing!

 

[strach304]

I can clearly see a gap on Terry's pic. The distance isn't that far either. Have you made contact on this TPP? Very good match. I doubt there would be mention of a scar on the hairline because of the decomposition.

 

[jodierenee]

looks like a great match to me! Keep us updated!

 

[hipmamajen]

Wow, they sure look similar!

 

[Azlaw]

was there any update on this?

 

[Kymistry35]

I was never called back about this one. Maybe I can try again tomorrow. It has been a while.

At first I skimmed over this as the composit really doesnt look like Michelle ,but the more I read the more stuff fits. On the fairfax page you have to scroll down the unsolved crimes page. I contacted Fairfax to ask if she had been compared to Michelle and they where unable to tell me but advised me to call Michelle's investigating agency. So I did that And I am still pondering over that conversation, They seemed have looking over her file like right there in front of them from the first 3 seconds of being on the phone. I had to charge my phone in between the two calls so maybe they had been in contact.Anyway not that they said ,but I firgured out quickLy she has not been compared. Anyway what do you think?

SM - this looks like a definite possibility. Should be quite simple to determine with dentals. Do you know if they are available?

 

[Soulmagent]

No the Viginia agency was nice but unhelpful with any information as the person I spoke with didnt know of anything to tell me. And the Mass. Agency sounded very suspious of me when I mentioned Michelle ,wanted to know where I heard of her and I just know they are doing a background check on me at the reduced 5 dollar sale price. Virginia did tell me that it would be unlikely for them to have michelle's DNA due to the year she was reported and from Michelle charley project page it seems they know she had dental work done but not when or where.

The link for the UID is no longer working. Has this Jane been ID'd? If so, can someone please let me know so I can mark this thread ruled out. If the UID has not been id'd will someone please add a working link for this Jane?

[believe09]

Bumping this...anyone heard about this possible match? I have been hunting for Michelle for a while too...

 

[chaddylex]

Here is the Namus link to this UID https://identifyus.org/cases/8493

The only rule out is Nadine Timm

 

[webrocket]

the UID had pretty bad teeth including their being crooked with gaps. the pics of Michelle that show her smiling show fairly normal teeth. I doubt the UID is Michelle on that basis.

 

[chaddylex]

I kind of thought that too webrocket.

 

[tamar]

I remember reading in one of the articles that Michelle's teeth were bad, or crooked, and that she had some sort of cosmetic dentistry (or perhaps orthodontics) done shortly before her disappearance.
