Here's another photo of Karen. Interesting that in this photo she is wearing orange shorts. She was found wearing orange shorts.

I e-mailed this possible match to Pamela Reed on August 30. However, I don't know if it was on their radar prior to my e-mail.
I will leave the flag as Identified for now. I e-mailed Pamela Reed again to see if it was my e-mail that resulted in the match. If she says it was, I will change the flag to Match!

I got a reply from Pamela Reed that based on the tip, they obtained Karen Tait's dentals and saw similarities that further suggested a potential match worth pursuing. They then escalated the DNA FRS to the national level.
The CODIS hit came after that. So it was the tip that precipitated the escalation of the DNA profile to CODIS, and consequently, the CODIS hit.
The news articles don't go into that kind of detail, but I think this is sufficient to classify this as a WS Match!
