Refreshing the thread...

I see that Jane Doe's profile was updated recently although I don't know what was added, probably just rule-outs. Good to know they are still working on her case.

Doe Network says "DNA: Sample submitted - tests not complete", with the page last updated in 2017. How long do the tests usually take?

I’ve seen not many people look into this case anymore but I think I may have to possible leads. The first is Melissa Marie McCollum she was presumed murdered by her ex-boyfriend who was found guilty on another charge of murder and she went missing from Seal Beach which is only 40 minutes away from corona Del Mar beach. The second girl is named Linnie Marie dominelli she was also found 40 minutes away from where she was reporting missing (Long Beach). Both girls had blonde hair and eyes that resembled either blue, brown, or hazel. Ive tried to get in contact with the doe project so hopefully something can come of this let me know what you think

 

[carbuff]

Do you have pointers to information for McCollum?

If Dominelli was found, then she can't be our unidentified woman.

I think it might have been a typo, her van was found but she's still missing

Linne Marie Dominelli – The Charley Project


Odds are, that it is not her. Linne has been missing since 1984 and the vehicle thing sounds pretty ominous. This Doe had a recognizable face in 1989.

Here is the websleuths link for Melinda Marie McCollom's thread, missing since 12 Jan 1989. But I also doubt it was her, based on circumstances that her BF likely murdered her on the day she disappeared.

Do y’all wanna try my system for easy access to “scoliosis” or any other variant wildcard WS search criteria? I’ve found this formula very useful & I’m willing to help all I can. Copy/paste entire string into Google search bar… don’t click WS Hyperlink showing up below here: we can further narrow these findings but it’s a down and dirty for starters.

I’m surprised so many connections pop up… I have extremely severe scoliosis so I know a lot about the condition. My doc first called me at home years ago and said the only patient he had heard of with my scores was a marathon runner from Kenya.

Dated: JAN. 28, 1990

When the body was found along a lonely stretch of Coast Highway last May, sheriff’s investigators were sure that someone would eventually identify the victim.

She had an unmistakable look: bleached-blond hair, a curved spine and a gaping hole in her mouth where four front teeth were missing.

“It just seems like someone should be able to identify her,” said Lt. Richard Olson of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.

Authorities never guessed No. 89-02618 would become such a case. The woman was too distinctive looking, her body in too good a condition not to be identified quickly.

A surfer found the woman’s body about 6 a.m. on Mother’s Day, crumpled against a barbed wire fence along Coast Highway. The body was dressed in a white tank top, a short red skirt and white tennis shoes, but had no identification. The surfer and several other beach-goers covered the body with towels and called sheriff’s deputies. Investigators arrived on the scene and concluded that the woman--about 5-feet-2 and weighing 148 pounds--had been killed elsewhere and then dumped along the highway.

The body was sent to the coroner’s office where the autopsy revealed--from broken bones and signs of internal bleeding near her throat--that she had been strangled to death. Detectives began investigating her death as a murder.

Her fingerprints were run through “Cal ID"--a statewide computer system for identifying fingerprints--but nothing turned up, Lyle said. Her description and a drawing of her was published in local newspapers, but no one came forward and identified the woman, believed to be in her late 20s or early 30s.

Toxicology tests showed no signs of alcohol or drugs in her system. The FBI was contacted, he said, in hopes of identifying her fingerprints. But that process can take months because their fingerprint system is not computerized.

“We have no leads at all. We’re just really baffled,” Olson, a veteran sheriff’s lieutenant, said.

Sheriff’s Lt. Robert Rivas agreed: “She could have been brought from San Diego, from L.A., from anywhere.”

Numbered but Nameless in Death : Coroner: Thousands of bodies come to the county morgue each year. Four remain there from 1989 that can still only be called John or Jane Doe.
