The ranch is named as "Rainbow End Ranch" on the NamUs profile for this Jane Doe, but it seems that the proper name is "Rainbow's End Ranch." I believe I found a listing for this Rainbow's End Ranch: Rainbow's End Ranch - Cochise County - Arizona - Headquarters West Ltd. - Arizona Ranch & Rural Real Estate.

A map of the property included within the ranch sheds a bit more light on the area in which Rainbow's End Jane Doe was found.

Esther Valdez (The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)) and Cynthia Ramirez Rico (The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)) seem like good potential matches to Rainbow's End Jane Doe.

The circumstances of Mindi Chambers's (The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)) disappearance seem like they could line up with REJD's circumstances, but I can't explain the disparity between the 34" waist on REJD's jeans and Mindi's height and weight statistics (4'10" and 86 lbs), so I feel that this connection is unlikely.

Submitted Cynthia Ramirez Rico just now as a potential match for Rainbow's End Jane Doe, as I feel that she is the most plausible potential match of the ones I suggested earlier.

Good finds! I agree that Cynthia seems the closest based on vital stats. The UID’s belt was shorter than the pants’ waist, so that might suggest the pants were too large for her. Five feet tall with a 34’ waist, seems like she would have been a bit “chunky” for her height. I’m about 5’3” and wore a size 34” (work pant) when I weighed around 125-140. For whatever that’s worth.

It might be beneficial to know more about the UID’s teeth. Cynthia’s look pretty perfect for example and Mindi recently had braces removed. REJD’s hair was also pretty short for a girl that age (IMO), which matches up with Cynthia’s photo.

Yeah, I was thinking that based on the waist size combined with the height estimation, REJD was probably somewhere on the heavier side. That's one of the main things that caught my attention about Cynthia Ramirez Rico's statistics in comparison with REJD -- along with the shorter hair detail.

I also agree on the teeth point. There's not much out there on REJD as far as I know, so it's hard to get any dental information. If there were major gaps, which Rico doesn't seem to have, then that would be a major detractor. Maybe I could ask the Cochise County Sheriff's Office for some more information on the case if they get back to me.

Yeah, definitely ask! It can’t hurt. I’m anxious to hear what they say. Now for the fun part - waiting.
