AZ AZ - Phoenix, Female UP984, 19-30, in roadside ditch, retainer on teeth, Aug'83 (Lori Long Chase)

[carbuff]

So perhaps Laura Hernandez (www.websleuths.com/forums/threads/nm-laura-hernandez-25-clovis-dec-1980.369537/#post-16310231) suggested by CarlK in post #2 on this thread hasn't been compared according to the comparison list on Laura's WS thread. Anyone have opinions on that one?

It doesn't look like @CarlK90245 ever submitted her. She certainly resembles the sketches.

This woman (Lori Longchase) was added to NAMUS today and I've convinced myself she's Phoenix Jane Doe. She's a few years too young, but not that far off.

I was just coming to say the same thing. I saw her pop up in NAMUS today. It seems like it has to be a match. Maybe they added Lori to NAMUS because they are submitting her DNA to make the match. I've seen that happen in other cases.

What a pretty lady. Good find. I'm not sure about the pattern of her teeth compared with the recon. Lori seems to have wonderful teeth with large front teeth, where Jane Doe's recon seems to have small front teeth, almost smaller then the canines.....

Thanks BTW to make this wonderful cleared up picture of Lori.

I agree that the teeth don't seem to match and this doe had braces at one point and had a retainer at the time of her death. It doesn't appear in pics Lori had braces so maybe not a match, but surely worth looking into.

New case in Namus, Lori Longchase. The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Everything seems pretty close to me. This has to be her...

She strongly resembles the older sketch. The new one, not so much. Everything else is really close.

Thank you so much for this.
Also to clear up something, Lori did have braces when she was younger. Sorry I am new here and unsure how to work this. I meant to reply to the enhanced photo of her. I am sending it to my aunt.

Ahwatukee Jane Doe has been unidentified for 38 years today.

And hopefully not much longer!

Just read about ms. longchase in news today, they are looking for a biological family member to get dna, she was adopted so the awhatukee Jane Dou could still be her they just can't match. Sounds like investigators believe it is her.
