As far as I can see they can all be compared because they have DNA available in their case files. Laurie partridge and Rita jolly are in codis. Some don’t have dentals available.
 
Maybe Marla Jean Thomas, missing since 1974 from Anacortes, Skagit County, Washington, 22 years old.

Marla Jean Thomas – The Charley Project

Maybe her DNA is in CODIS, she is not in Namus as far that I know...(didn't search under the Crabtree yet)

Yes maybe, she fits in the age range. I thought it was Donna Manson because the bones were found in Olympia which is the sight of her disappearance. Manson is a confirmed Ted Bundy victim.
 
It could be any of these missing girls. They all disappeared in the range of the UIDs time of death.

There are a few thing that are bothering me...the missing of her remains...for one..but if I recall correctly Ted Bundy had a habit of putting different clothes on his victims. The parents of Mss. Manson said they didn't recognize the yellow sweater. One other thing is that there was a crudely made cross. Can't get it in to my head that a serial killer would put something with his victim grave...he was very crazy...but no...What's your opinion/thought on that. It's so sad Manson is not properly identified.....

That's a good point about the cross. I think the cross indicates a feeling of remorse or guilt, or that the killer had a close connection to the victim. A psychopath would probably not make a cross to mark her resting place. This woman was probably acquainted with whoever killed her.

Jane Doe's DoeNetwork page has been updated, but the only thing that's been changed, as far as I can see, is the estimated date of death, which has gone from being just two years prior to discovery to somewhere between 1969-1979.
DNA is still "unknown".
