Here's a thought that's probably way out there, but what if Pepper is actually the Cheerleader in the Trunk? I'm aware there are tons of theories already, but her photo just hit me — the face is a dead ringer for the composite. It might be a good lead to either prove or disprove.

I found an archive newspaper detailing the conviction of a James Lee Hedgepeth. This might be the same "James Hedgepeth" in this case. I haven't been able to find much information on Vera Bryant or James Hedgepeth (e.g. no yearbooks, Find a Grave profile, marriage records - if any)
This is an...
I've compiled a summary of the case based on the information provided in the press release.
Case Summary: The Deaths of Carl and James Bryant
On June 13, 1972, the body of a young child was discovered on the Old Colchester Road Bridge in Lorton, Virginia, by a boy riding his bicycle home from...
There was an update to the UID's NamUs. I assume "Charisma" is her nickname but Crysta is her birth name. Nonetheless, she has been officially noted as excluded.
Circumstance Notes
The decedent is excluded as being Crysta "Charisma" Duncan.
Family finds closure as Vietnam War vet identified in decades-old Oregon cold case
Larry Eugene Parks, a 30-year-old Vietnam War veteran, had been out of contact with his family for a year and was last seen in Pensacola, Florida.
As of April 12, 2025, there is one public rule-out for this John Doe:
James Clark
His NamUs profile appears down or possibly broken, as it does not show his DLC, State, or County. There is another James Clark in NamUs; he disappeared in 1997, so it cannot be him.
Could this be Theresa Ann Wallace?

It appears that the Missouri State Highway Patrol had listed Carol's disappearance in their database. However, I don't think she was listed on NamUs.

Location of disappearance: St. Louis, MO
Age: 39
There are currently no public NamUs rule outs for either Doe.
This cane in this case brings to mind Anthony Armbrust III. He suffered from terminal emphysema, leading him and his wife, Renee Armbrust, to die by suicide together. This occurred sometime in 1974 in Colorado. Anthony's remains...
Eugenia's family has organised a GoFundMe for her funeral. Her family stated that her death was foul play. Unfortunately, there is no news report mentioning her cause/manner of death.

From this newspaper, here is what we should search for when looking for archives about the now-unidentified remains:
Date of Discovery: Circa 1981
Location: Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas
The remains were found in a farmer's field. The body was clothed, and a clay reconstruction of the...
Doe Network confirmed the match between this Jane Doe and Tawana Igo according to their 2025 closed case index.
"Tawana Jean Igo (4937DFFL) missing since November 23, 2022 from Palm Bay, Florida has been recovered and identified as NamUs UP101667. No further information is available."
I revised the original reconstruction based on the original artist's rendition and the post-mortem photo.
I hope that the DNA Doe Project adds this case to their rotation. It seems like she had an infant back at home at the time of her disappearance.
