    Does anyone know if Smurfette is with any forensic genealogy organizations?

    Identified! NM - Albuquerque, WhtFem 25-35, UP2926, blonde, in motel room, 5 June 1991 * id'd March 2026 - Rebecca "Becca" Mallekoote (18)*

    I was NOT expecting this one! May Becca RIP at long last. I second the props to Ramapo College. Interesting that she was in fact a Becca and that the age estimate was so off.

    Identified! CA - Westlake Village, HispFem 18-30, UP11249, pregnant, in parking lot, 18 July 1980. Maricela Rocha Parga *id'd Dec 2025*

    Just wanted to give a note for those who may not be aware. As reported, Maricela's family did report her missing multiple times at multiple different agencies. But for whatever reason, Maricela's missing person report was never actually put into "the system", and I can only imagine the issues...

    AZ AZ - Tempe, HispFem, UP1987, 15-19, hitchhiking, overdose, Apr'02

    1980 Ventura County Jane Doe, a well-known Hispanic Jane Doe, was officially identified as 22 y/o Maricela Rocha Parga today through genetic genealogy by DNA Doe Project. Maricela's genealogy case was, by all accounts, extremely difficult, which is not uncommon for Does, or former Does, of...

    Wellll I've been emotional all day about this and couldn't hop on and watch 'til now (special educator life). You all know I've been waiting for this for years. ENDLESS THANK YOUS to Carl, of course, and all members of her DNA Doe team for bringing her home. Her case is a good example of amazing...

    Found Deceased IL - Linda Brown, 53, teacher, left home in Bronzeville for an acupuncture appoint. in Wicker Park, didn't arrive, 3 Jan., 2026

    I hope she's found soon. I haven't read the thread and this may not be relevant - but, speaking as a fellow special education teacher (like Linda is), Januaries tend to be particularly stressful, unpleasant months for us, for a multitude of reasons. I myself am having a heck of a time right...

    FL - Anna Kepner, 18, dies aboard Carnival cruise ship traveling from Miami to Caribbean, FBI launch probe, 7 November 2025 *arrest*

    I'm a high school teacher, so this one really hits home for me. :( I have so many questions about this case, and I need to read up more. NONE of this makes any sort of sense to me from a parenting and safety perspective. IMO. Poor Anna. What a terrible, tragic story.

    Identified! NH - Allenstown, Adult Female, 23-33, & 3 Children, Marlyse Honeychurch, Marie Vaughn, Sarah McWaters, Rea Rasmussen

    I know this is not top priority, but it makes me sad that there aren't any known photos of Rea. :( Still wondering if she might've been in the birthday pics, but I guess no one can confirm still. I don't have an answer, but I've been wondering the same thing.. I can't find any record of her...

    Identified! NH - Allenstown, Adult Female, 23-33, & 3 Children, Marlyse Honeychurch, Marie Vaughn, Sarah McWaters, Rea Rasmussen

    Especially if either one of them was discovered in LA County - back then, IIRC they cremated pretty much all UID remains in LA County. I agree that I don't think either of them have found, myself, but if they were found in Los Angeles, we might never be able to figure out. :(
