AZ AZ - Bullhead City, WhtFem UP11087, 17-19, shallow grave vacant lot, purse, clothes, May'89

[phantomstrider]

I found a possible candidate, but this is mostly based on the possible route the missing person's Greyhound Bus took. That is if she even got on the bus. Her name is Gwendolyn Susie King.

Comparison between King and Kate

• King stood 5'2"-5'4" vs Kate who's estimated height is 5'5"-5'7"
• King had red/auburn hair vs Kate had brown hair
• King was 16 when she vanished vs Kate was around 17-19 when she died
• King vanished in 1982 vs Kate is estimated to have died between 1979-1987

I do see a resemblance. You should submit it just in case.

I've been looking at these two cases for nearly an hour and am thinking of submitting "Pamula Furguson/Ferguson" as a potential match.

Websleuths Thread: AZ - AZ - Pamula Furgeson, 23, Winslow, 10 Jan 1988

Namus:

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

By bringing people, information, forensic science and technology together, NamUs helps resolve cases.

She's slightly off the given ranges but always just close enough that it would still make sense:

PMI: #UP 1979-1987 | #MP Jan 10th, 1988
Height: #UP 5'5"-5'7" | #MP 5'4"
Age: #UP 17-19y | #MP 23y

Pamula according to a Arizona Daily News article had lost teeth in a boating accident before she went missing and had them replaced.

Edited to say: Hair length is spot on but highlights can't be confirmed through the available photo.
Distance between last sighting and finding site is about 4 hours BUT it's basically just travel on I-40.

2nd edit: Article with mention on teeth, second part, third column.

Also, I just wrote to Chief Trebes of Bullhead City Police because I can't get this out of my head.

It's always possible. I wonder if Pamela was missing two front teeth or more than that. It sounds like more than that, but I'm not sure. It seems like this would be an easy rule out anyway.

For information:
Since there was zero reaction from Bullhead City, I submitted Pam Ferguson info to Winslow PD via an online form as well.

Keep your fingers crossed.
