got a response back from the detective in charge of hazel's case this is what it said

Sandra,

I will check into both of these this week. If you have not had a response by Friday please email me again.

We are still working on this investigation and are awaiting DNA analysis of some evidence that can assist in future identifications.

so at least we now know this jane doe is being looked at to see if it's possibly hazel alice klug and trust me if i haven't heard back on friday i will send another e-mail
 
being i didn't get an e-mail before friday i e-mailed him back and this is the response with the updates on seeing if this is hazel alice klug :


We have been comparing the remains that you have mentioned to the possibility of Hazel Alice Klug. The body that was located in the Shoosmith Landfill and was not only partial remains but were also slightly decomposed. The remains were located without a head or hands which makes identification by dental or fingerprints impossible. We are currently awaiting DNA analysis to determine if the remains can be identified or eliminated with Alice. There are some vast similarities between the two and only one or two differences that the remains may not be Alice. As soon as that is completed then the family will be notified.

I can only imagine the frustration that you must be experiencing since Alice has been missing for almost 30 years but I can assure you that we are still looking into the investigation. Although I cannot go into details there are leads that are being followed up on.

I apologize on the delay to respond back to you and if you have any questions I can answer please let me know.

well at least we know that it's being looked into now we just wait till they have answers
 
he said they have quite a few ladies that this jane doe can be so there's a lot of dna to compare and rule out , he said dna is the only way to i d who she is , i even asked if footprints was possible and he said sadly it's not as the ink can smear and the jane doe being so badly decomposed would of made it impossible so dna is best way to get answers , said once know if hazel alice or not the family will be notified he said quite a few ladies disappeared around the same time she did so this jane doe can be any of the ladies and he wants to find out who she is to give the family some closure and the jane doe can finally be known by her name , they also have gotten dna from the jane doe to and even some hair from the jane doe not sure how since there was no head or hands but guessing there was some at the place she was found i'm not sure exactly on that part but hoping they find out who the lady is being left unidentified for so long and a family not knowing is heartbreaking
 
I'm sorry.I meant to ask if they have mtDNA on this Jane Doe right now? Can someone please find out?
 
i'm not sure if they already have dna on the jane doe at this time or if they have to obtain it but the doe network says they do but i'll ask the detective in charge of hazel's case if they do or not and let you know
 
ok i asked mr. howdyshell about the dna of the jane doe and if it was possible if hazel alice could be in witness protection as right after she went missing people would call her parents house claiming they saw her and stuff and here is the answer i got back

The University of North Texas is working on the DNA of the unidentified remains. No one has come forward regarding sightings of Alice nor is she in witness protection.

i haven't recieve any more e-mails as of today i've e-mailed him asking if there has been any developements in case so hoping i get a response
 
Sandraella, LE says they are comparing the UID's DNA to your cousin's, but I saw no mention of family's DNA being taken. Are you sure that in fact is has been done? Even if this UID is not a match, the family's DNA will be in the system and will be compared on an ongoing basis to other cases.
BTW I have Klugs in my family tree, from the Pittsburgh area. It is pronounced as you said in a previous post.
 
What about Darline Vaughan? Missing 5/2/86 from the Village of Ettrick in Chesterfield County. In VA, unincorporated towns within a county are called "villages" rather than "cities;" it has to do with taxing authority - you are either taxed by a county or a city, never both.


https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/5192/13/


I found an article that says that the body was ruled out as Darline's in 1986, but I don't see her on the excluded list for this UID.

edited to add:
The Timothy Spencer case in Arlington, VA was the first US case in which DNA was used; that case concluded in 1988. I raised this potential match again because:

1) A vaginal hysterectomy would not leave an external scar for anyone to make note of (UID had a vaginal hysterectomy, no note of scar on Ms. Vaughan) - thus Ms. Vaughan may have had the procedure and few people may have known about it.
2) Proximity
3) Husband worked at a chemical plant and may have had access to refrigerated storage
4) Body was found prior to Spencer case and DNA samples are not available from Ms. Vaughan
5) Familial DNA matching is now available and easily performed; Ms. Vaughan's sister is the one who reported her missing. If the sister is still alive, Ms. Vaughan can be definitively excluded at this point.
 
magnum p.e the detective over the DNA said they have family Dna to compare to and if they need more her brother and sisters are still alive , sadly her parents are both deceased though , the detective mr. howdyshell has also gave the e-mail to the one in charge of my cousin's case i've messaged him tonight to see if any progress has been made , mr. howdyshell has also said they do have dna from the jane doe as well he at this time is working on a case he got dna on from 2 years ago so he's slowly going through the cases and hopefully hazel alice will be one he gets to soon
 
Wow, Det. Howdyshell really has been busy. There are 289 ruleouts listed. Darlene Vaughan isn't one of them. I'll go ahead and include the list here even though it's so long, since sometimes profiles become unavailable:

carbuff i'm not sure where you found that but my cousin hazel alice is listed as ruled pit being this lady thanks for posting this information
 
the latest e-mail i recieved on my cousin hazel alice klug confirmed she's been ruled out as being the jane doe here's the latest e-mail i've recieved i also thought she might of been a jane doe from charlottesville as someone suggested i check into that one and she's been eliminated as being that jane doe as well :



The unidentified female located at the Shoosmith Landfill has been eliminated as being Hazel Klug through DNA comparison. After comparing the unidentified female from Charlottesville to Hazel she has also been eliminated through dental comparison. Please continue to send me possible matches as I can compare them in NamUs and either dig deeper into the comparison or eliminate the two.
