2. Jennifer disappeared December 1996, Jane Doe is estimated to have died between April 1996 to October 1996 - this is close enough for me.
3. Jennifer was 17, Jane Doe was estimated to be 15-19
4. Jennifer had Reddish Blonde hair, Jane Doe had shoulder length dark blond or light brown hair with a possible reddish tint.
5. Jennifer is listed as 5'2" which is 1" taller than Jane Doe
6. Jennifer is listed as missing from Fayetteville, North Carolina, but she was last seen with her older sister who was loading a van to go to Sylacauga, Alabama. Jane Doe was found in Huntsville, Alabama. These two locations are 148 miles apart (3.5 hours).
Note: If this is Jennifer she was travelling with 3 other family members, her sister and 2 kids. None of them have ever been seen again. Please see the Charley Project link for more info.
