We don't know Cecile's membership status, right? As far as Sunburst community. And we don't know where her apartment was, I believe. We do know about the arms with the organization, and we know where the car was recovered (which also gives me pause).

To me, Cecile has a pretty strong resemblance to Jane Doe Castleberry Kate/AZ. Cecile on left, Castleberry Kate on right:

She was found by construction workers in a shallow grave in a vacant lot near Riverside Drive and Castleberry Lane in Bullhead City, Arizona. She is believed to have died 2-10 years before she was discovered in 1989. 17-19yo, 5'5" to 5'9"To me, these two women resemble one another. Bullhead City AZ is about five and a half hours to Santa Barbara.

Also, the woman found at Camp Pendleton. Est 4'11" to 5'5", 16-25yo, they have no idea when she died. The remains were found Jan 1982. Perhaps the killer was familiar with the base/area following a military stint, maybe service in Vietnam, or maybe the killer was just a hiker who'd been out there. Camp Pendleton is about two to three hours from Santa Barbara.

Also #UP60116 found in eastern desert region of Kern County, found April 1985, they have no idea when this woman died. Est 5'0" to 5'3". It's probably a two-hour+ drive between east Kern & Santa Barbara locations.

I think we can be reasonably confident she is not Castleberry Kate. The height is out (Cecile was 5'3" whereas Castleberry Kate was 5'5" to 5'7". But more importantly Kate had extensive dental worlk and dentals are available for Cecile so a match or elimination would be easy. Nothing is impossible but I would be surprised if such an easy match had been overlooked.
