I have my fingers crossed, too. Maria Mendez got identified and I think she has a chance of it too.

This case has haunted me ever since I stumbled upon it during my dives into the unidentified. Seeing the post-mortem photo was something, it still haunts me to this day. Reading the narrative of this case and the police reports make this case seem like no other, it's so sad.

While reading the original police report generously provided by fmw63 years ago, I noticed these two statements regarding the interview with the driver and the police call made after dropping Jane Tempe Doe behind the golf works store:

"THE CASSETTE TAPE OF THIS INTERVIEW WAS IMPOUNDED AS EVIDENCE ON 05-09-02 AT 1200 HOURS."
"A CASSETTE TAPE COPY OF THE 911 CALL WAS IMPOUNDED AS EVIDENCE ON 05-09-02 AT 1200 HOURS."

Do you think anyone can ask for a copy of these tapes' content through an FOIA to the Maricopa County Sheriff's or is this impossible since this case is still open?

Has Joaquina Aguilar been ruled out? I figure that it's possible that, since our Jane Doe said that she was kicked out, it could be possible that she may have been roaming the streets for a while before she met that guy?

Their height sorta matches up, considering she could have possibly grown an inch.
The weight is not too off
They look sorta similar
It also says that Joaquina's mother was concealing her, so that may explain why there was no missing report in Arizona if they were living there together, and that might be why her mom didn't report her missing from that state. I'm thinking the mother took the daughter to Arizona, considering Gardena, California is only a 10-hour drive from Tempe. I'm thinking they most likely got into an argument, leading to the mother kicking the daughter out of the home.

I can see it. have you tried submitting a potential match panel?

I thought I would mention since there was someone very much earlier on Page 5 of this thread who had obtained police documents.

I've always believed there's a high possibility this was a victim of human trafficking based off the information given. Seeing that she was sexually assaulted and also seemed to be healthy I don't believe she was kicked out for using drugs. It seems more likely she was given drugs as a way to attempt to make her more willing the actions of the individuals in the car.

Additionally with DNADoeProject previously mentioning both Mexican and Peruvian descent I've believed she was likely born in this country. Though when you read into it most individuals of Peruvian descent live on the East Coast. The lack of reporting from relatives doesn't surprise me as often immigrants are far less likely to report missing persons and the like and overall can be more distrusting of police. Additionally, sometimes not knowing where to go. Which might be why this Doe doesn't have a missing persons file on record to compare to.

I hope the way I wrote this doesn't sound off or wrong to anybody, that isn't my intention but I feel there's a large part of this case being neglected by investigators. I'm curious if they ever would potentially put any information regarding her in Peruvian communities around the country and the like as I wonder if it might produce a lead.

i think with first time drug use it could likely cause someone to convulse or have a negative reaction to it. she probably was healthy like you said. Neurologically speaking, cocaine lowers certain seizure thresholds in the brain which can cause violent convulsions and seizures, even with multiple times of using cocaine you can still be at risk for a seizure since cocaine triggers the central nervous system the most.
