I wonder if any of the first responders would rembember what she had on when they first found her. Maybe the clothes were thrown away because at the time she was brought in she was not dead and they wouldnt have know that she wouldnt be identified still 10 yrs later, they probably thought her family would come looking for her in a day or two. But with a situation like this you would think the sight of this young girl on the side of the road would stick out in someones memory. Ambulance people emergency room people. Maybe somebody could put an ad in the personals for that area, saying wanted someone that treated or saw this girl do you remember what she was wearing. I wish we knew who picked her up surely they remember what she was wearing. Shoes always tell alot about a person. If we can find out the High Schools in the area that she was found somebody could add yourselfs to the school on myspace, BUT then you have to wait 7 days before you can post on the schools message boards. But we could post a message asking who remembers this girl being found and does anyone know who picked her up. Locals might know who picked her up just by word of mouth.
The people she was supposedly in the car with never came forward. She sustained severe head injuries. I doubt if you jumped out of a car you would land on your feet unless the car was barely moving. IMO I would really like to see a copy of the police report That could give us a lot of information. I am sure she has a mother that has missed her and has been sick about her being gone. I don't believe foster kids are any more rebellious than kids raised by their own parents. I realize there are some bad kids in foster care but there is also bad kids still living at home with their parents.
I was browsing some profiles on MySpace, and came across one that was created for the Huntsville AL Jane Doe.

The page has pics/info about other cases as well, including the Pinal County Jane Doe. I don't know if this has been posted or not, but here is another composite (possibly "unofficial" because I haven't seen it anywhere else):
]IMO, whoever produced this photo did a great job. The original sketch looks out-dated, and the morgue photo is likely too graphic for many people to look at. [/LEFT]

does anyone know what the names are of the man and woman who were with her?
something someone said a few posts back gave me an idea of why a lot of young girls might be unidentified & never reported missing...
possible scenario: a couple adopts a foster kid, probably for the money. the kid starts to grow up, and the husband starts sexually abusing her (not that he would necessarily wait for her to grow up to do that, unfortunately). possibly the girl (as she is an impressionable young teenager) is encouraging the abuse by acting seductive (for many young girls this is a way to get what they think is positive attention- esp if they have been abused before). the wife finds out about it and is horrified and angry-- and just wants the girl to go away. at that point the funding may be running out (which makes me think the girl may have been 18)... or maybe the wife doesn't even care about that at this point. the girl can't take the situation anymore and runs away,, the husband is relieved because the 'evil cause of his temptation' is gone (and if she was underage he may be worried about getting in trouble), and the wife is relieved that her 'competition'.. who she now utterly despises.. is gone.
i could see all this happening. so that's why they don't care about what happens to the girl-- they both just want her to go away. and therefore, no missing persons report.
I've read many cases where it took 20 years for the missing report to match up with the unidentified deceased. The family was looking and did care. With technological advances, hopefully the gap between a missing person's report and the id of a UID will be narrowed. I am amazed but I know many people that don't have a computer (some never have) or the internet or the know how to use a computer. I also know family members of victims of unsolved homicides who have simply given up any hope of any resolution. Someone may have been beating their head up against a proverbial wall for years and then just gave up. I've even heard, "Maybe God doesn't want us to know."
Regarding the foster home scenario: I agree that she was probably a runaway and children run from many things. Sad but even biological parents sexually abuse their children and/or toss them to the wayside. Another possibility is that the family is ambivalent for one reason or another and they think that she "up and left" and went on with her life.
What if it is clear that she has had on going sexual abuse or other trauma for many years. It would then be clear to all those involved that she was being abused by the person identifying her and they are fearful of prosecution. Does anyone know if there is a statue of limitations on sexual abuse of a minor? (Not that there should be). The ME said she could have been working as a prostitute. What if they identified her and found out that she was living at home up until the day she died? Suddenly someone would have to answer a lot of questions.
I guess there are a lot of possibilities. I'd love for America's Most Wanted to run her story and picture to bring her face to millions. Surely, someone out there would recognize her.
How can we get them interested?? I would be happy to write call, whatever. This case seems solvable...it is SO FRUSTRATING!
This is a quote from America's Most Wanted:

Submitting Cases
How do I submit a case to AMW?
Cases to be profiled on AMW are carefully chosen from the hundreds of requests we receive every week. Due to the high volume of requests we often need to make tough decisions when it comes to choosing which cases to profile. We make every attempt to cover cases from all parts of the country and all type of crimes. Our ultimate goal is to give a voice to the maximum number of victims possible and help find missing children and bring fugitives to justice. If you would like to have a case considered for the show, please send all facts to:
America's Most Wanted
PO Box Crime TV
Washington DC 20016
Please make sure to note whether there is a known fugitive charged with the crime, or whether the perpetrator is yet to be identified. If charges have been filed, please note the police agency that filed the charges. It is also helpful to let us know what photos and/or video are available of the victim and the fugitive. NOTE: We are not able to return materials, so do not send original or irreplaceable photos, documents, etc.

The only thing that I can think of, to have them highlight her case, is to have as many people that read this and can, send in requests to the address above asking that she be given a segment on the show. Maybe if they receive requests from all over the nation, they will give her some air time?
For those who don't have a lot of time, here's something you can paste and clip or copy all or part for a letter:
In 1999, on January 26th a young girl (13 to 18 years old) jumped, fell, or was pushed from a moving vehicle in Arizona. She lived for only one day. Nearly 9 years have passed and no one has given this young girl a name. I am asking that America's Most Wanted puts her picture and story on the show. Having her picture and story on America's Most Wanted would put her face out there for millions of viewers to see and I believe would give her a name and tell her story. I believe that knowing WHO she is would determine why she died all those years ago and why no one has come forward to claim her. Anything you can do would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
