Resolved CA - Los Angeles, WhtFem UP2993, 20-30, Short Blonde Hair @Mansfield Motel, Aug'68 - n/a

[Bit of hope]

could it be Donnis Redman?

https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/1475/6/

Strawberry blond hair, blue eyes, missing since March 01, 1958, 14 years, would be 24-25 in 1968, 5'2" a little bit smaller than UID = '5.5". She has the same nose and full lips and a bow from nose over cheek IMO, although her picture is sun touched, she seems to have freckles, is a type who could have freckles. I'm not sure about the eyebrows. Maybe she was forced into prostitution and they killed the boyfriend.

Redman was last seen in Las Vegas, Nevada on March 1, 1958. She was accompanied by her boyfriend at the time. She has never been heard from again. The boyfriend's car was found in Williams, Arizona several days later. Few details are available in Redman's case. Some agencies state Redman disappeared from San Pedro, California. Los Angeles, California police are investigating her case.

Pondering on submitting Donnis, but I think it would almost impossible to make a match...Donnis dna is there, Jane Doe's is not. Jane Does dentals are there, Donnis dentals are not...both no fingerprints...aarchhhh

Thank you for the update

It would be nice if there was some communication with Namus contacts so they could confirm and put Lynn Bandringa on the rule-out list in Namus for this UID.

Does anyone know if The Doe Network reports ruleouts to NamUs? If not, I can reach out to NamUs to let them know she has been ruled out...

I'm not sure the process but if I were you I'd forward the email correspondence you had with Doe to the Namus contact. I think it'd be a helpful thing to do.

Jane Doe was a supposed prostitute. That's the reason I have doubts...

Just curious where this conclusion comes from? I haven't seen any mention that there is a theory that she was a prostitute.

Good question. I read it somewhere a long time ago, but honestly I don't know where anymore. Didn't put this case into a file.

This Jane Doe already has a thread: https://www.websleuths.com/forums/t...ort-blonde-hair-mansfield-motel-aug68.321494/

A blonde, white woman was found in a room of the Mortland Motel on 14 August 1968.

I feel like she very much resembles a woman in photos made by the serial killer Joe Naso.

See "Woman in the red/pink dress":
The Search for Joe Naso Victims - The Murder Squad

What do you guys think?

Great find! Definitely submit. It looks like the same woman.

I’ve attached a side-by-side. Sorry for the low quality on the composite, it’s from NamUs.

I hope she rests easy.

 

[devertere]

I have had really little luck with submitting, probably because I am not American.

If anyone would like to do it, please go ahead.

I'll continue looking at the missing, I really want to resolve this.
