@ Lee Baker, welcome & thank you for stopping in. I appreciate you taking the time to tell us a little bit about your sister. We're here to help.
Because the police haven't actually investigated. Her dental records wouldn't be in Arizona, they're either in Washington state or in Hawaii, 2 of the states she grew up in.[/
I apologize if my post from 3 years ago seems insensitive. Not sure if you're aware, but one of our goals here is to help find missing people and/or give the unidentified their names back. In order to do that, the missing person and unidentified person have to have the same identifiers to make a comparison, either fingerprints, DNA, or dental records.
Somehow, someway, NamUs used to list your sister as having dental records at their disposal. Due to privacy, that information is no longer viewable to the public. You could always contact them and confirm whether or not they have dental records for Cynthia and ask where they got them from if they do, indeed, have them.
What I was attempting to do was make comparison with a Jane Doe found in Mississippi in 1985, but without matching identifiers, there's no way to do that.
If DNA would help, the police could have asked her family, like her brother (me), her 2 sisters or one of her parents. I live in Oregon, one of her sisters lives in Tempe Arizona and the other lives in Washington state. None of us are that hard to find.
I'm surprised to hear no one in your family has been asked to provide DNA. Have folks in your family contacted investigators to offer samples? I ask because NamUs has kits they can send you and they will do it instead, but sometimes their funding dries up. Again, thank you so much for joining.
God bless you.
