It says part of a 7/11 smock was found, was she maybe an employee?

Her killer could have been as well

 

[webrocket]

here is the current Doe Network profile for this UID:

http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/834ufal.html

astonishing that despite wearing a 7-11 smock and being as tall as she was, they cannot identify her.

nobody remotely matches her description in Namus missing persons.

She might have been off-duty when she went missing. I searched Google News Archive Search for "missing 7-Eleven clerk" and found, sadly, several stories about clerks who had been abducted and found murdered. But the company would have likely publicized the search for a missing employee, as they did in this case of a missing clerk from Vancouver in 1979, who was unfortunately found murdered:

Note the red and white smock was worn during this era.

The only black female missing from Alabama prior to this UID's discovery is Yolanda Maull:

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) <mod edit: new link>

The description somewhat matches, though the height and hair are not a perfect match.

Here's a thread for Yolanda: AL - AL - Yolanda Maull, 30, Birmingham, 26 May 1982

I don't think she is a match for the UID here based on her height and circumstances. JMO.

Maybe she was missing from Georgia .. there was(is) a 7-Eleven convenience store located in Thomaston, GA which via google maps is only 1 1/2 hours drive to Lee County ...

We'll have to check elsewhere than Namus for that possibility. There are no missing black females from Georgia in Namus prior to 1985.

Oldest on the GBI website is from 1984: https://gbi.georgia.gov/cases/missing-persons

Not seeing any possibilities in the Alabama Missing persons website either: https://app.alea.gov/community/wfSearch.aspx?Type=20&Status=5

I just came across this Jane Doe while looking through Alabama's Doe Network listings. That 7-11 smock started turning on lightbulbs in my head, as I see it already has with fellow sleuthers. Definitely gonna keep digging at this one.

Wyteria Jones, missing from IL since 1 October 1982, though falls outside the upper estimated age limit. After some recent IDs I no longer trust the Namus estimates! There is nothing but a shell record in Namus and she is not on Charley Project or Doe Network.

Lee county is on the AL/GA border, so either state is a possibility. The smock could've been hers, or a relatives, or belong to the killer or a relative of the killer. A red herring for sure.

 

[R. Towle]

Just throwing another theory into the ring. What if she was a victim of domestic violence, she had managed to get away and start a new life. For that reason she kept to herself, not making many friends or acquaintances where she was living so there was nobody to notice or report her missing.

We'll have to check elsewhere than Namus for that possibility. There are no missing black females from Georgia in Namus prior to 1985.

It’s true! (I’m in ga) but my nana told me a story of how a young woman disappeared and she worked at 7-11 I don’t remember the details

If you are on any Missing in GA or type FB groups or even local FB groups for your geographic area it would be really great if you could post a case summary or "are you looking for someone who went missing around date". Quite a few long term unidentified have been ID because a relative saw a FB post about their case. You can even link to this thread if you like, so more sleuthers come her to work on her case.

 

[Melt71]

I have written to the Opelika-Auburn News asking if they would consider writing about this case. They reported on it at the time the remains were found.

I did a search for 7-11 and Missing Persons in the Georgia Historic Newspapers database for the dates around this UID was found but nothing of interest that I could see. Georgia Historic Newspapers
