Yes...I thought she looked very familiar and never blew her photo up in comparison to the girl in the peach blouse since that girl was identified and alive. Now after blowing her photo up, I see that she has on the same necklace as the other girl. Then I went back and reread the previous posters. This girl has already been identified apparently and should probably go with her other pictures of her in the peach. It isn't unlikely that a model will model more than one outfit at a photo shoot. My models usually model 2-3 each shoot.
I vow to read all of the previous posters from now on before I comment as many people have already gone through this back last year when everything first came to light. I feel silly now...:blushing::blushing:

Let's see if this works. They all look similar to me. Pic's 4 and 5 show what looks like the same necklace too.
I think it's nothing more than she's facing more towards the sun and her pupils have naturally contracted.In these two shots, as opposed to some of the others, her pupils are little more than tiny pinpricks. That's usually a good sign that a person is not happy with what's going on, however she may otherwise compose her facial features.

Picture 1, the topless-looking shot by the window, and the straw-hat shot by the window are the same window, same day, similar angle. Picture 1 for some reason has left and right reversed. Up until spotting that, I had thought she looks a year or two older and perhaps darker-haired in Picture 1. That was an illusion of some sort.
That's usually a good sign that a person is not happy with what's going on, however she may otherwise compose her facial features. Her expression would be serene in the first shot if not for those contracted pupils. In the straw hat shot, her whole look is shocked and wary. Reminds me of several other of his subjects whom he may have deliberately photographed just when he was making a not-very-welcome suggestion.

This woman has been found alive and well. If you read the thread on "found alive," you will not have to keep speculating on this. Photos were taken on the same day. Only had one photo shoot. She isn't dead...never was dead...and her parents were a neighbor of his when he was living with relatives.
I think this girl was a friend or relative. There is an obvious difference of expression in a few of the pictures where they look relaxed, at ease. So much different from the other pictures. I didn't notice before that the straw hat girl was the same as the peach blouse girl. I think the straw hat girl looks several years younger, but is the same girl.
Maybe Alcala killed her parents and kidnapped her and kept her for 1 or 2 years.Thank you carbuff. I thought if it was Mary Anne Wesolowski he abducted her and went out and purchased an outfit for her.
I truly believe they do look much alike.
You're right about the props. I worked for a photographer for many years. Or should I say "portrait artist" as my friend describes her profession? I thought about that as in how if Alcala was trying to be professional he'd have had alot more props. Nope. Same chair, same window, a few different sheets or curtains as backdrops.
Also I have personally been to photographers for head shots where their studio was attached to their home or apartment so I can see that. I guess that bizarre pink swing was a prop? Thanks again.
