After this change, I now firmly believe this woman is Barbara Sterbinsky. She matches all the available information. Furthermore the S tattoo on this woman’s chest under the sternum is likely the initial for her family name. Barbara also has family ties to Tacoma.
I am acutely aware that this match has been excluded on NAMUS but she is not listed as an exclusion under Barbara’s NAMUS Profile. I really hope they look again.
In the case of Hector Jose Garcia he was widely believed to be a John Doe found with HJG tattooed on his body until law enforcement excluded him by dna provided by his sister.
This was until @othram came into the picture. It was then proven to be the John Doe who was initially excluded by dna
I could see how Barbara could look to some as Indigenous and she has family ties to Tacoma Washington.
I would be very surprised to find out this isn’t Barbara.
