I don’t think she could have appeared in both AHS and PHS yearbooks in 1964. I’m going to remove the posts (including photos/newspaper articles) that don’t contain links until someone can figure out which photos are actually her.

 

[ChatteringBirds]

I wonder what led to her new NamUs listing and the circumstances under which she went missing.

It looks like Jensen is her maiden name. Her husband C had himself declared the administrator of her estate in 1987.

Possibly A dumb question but by 1987, she'd actually been missing over 10 years. Why does the article say 5 years? Is that just standard practice, really meaning "at least" 5 years?

Could someone give A synopsis of the first article in 1968? I don't want to start a trial subscription. TIA!

Is this the same thing? Looks like from 1976...

Someone earlier posted a photo of DJ from AGHS 1964 (no link). I can not find that photo. Classmates.com doesn’t have that school’s yearbook for 1964. So it’s possible the 1961-63 photos at AGHS are of her and then the 1964 PHS too. I just want to make sure before I reinstate those photos.

Can anyone verify where the 1964 AGHS photo came from? Thanks!!

 

[MadMcGoo]

I found this public tree, but the user has 4 different DJ school photos. So they apparently don’t know either.

 

[MadMcGoo]

Random thought. Jenson was an alias of Terry Rasmussen’s. The middle child found in Bear Brook was likely born around the time Dianne went missing.

I submitted Dianne as a candidate for Perry County Jane Doe 1979 and her NamUs file was modified 2 days ago, but there are still no exclusions for her.

 

[HmmMysterious]

Bumping. Any newspaper reports on her disappearance?

Thank you Victoria for looking

 

[victoriarobinson642]

Oh wait, I was spelling her name wrong. Still nothing on her actual disappearance but a few declaring her dead. It suggests a different date of disappearance, though. One in 1982.

Dianne's NamUs page was modified today, but nothing was changed. No exclusions added either
