Hello everyone. I'm just following along, but this case is SO intriguing! I'm hooked. I really don't know what to think. Yikes! I wish I was smart enough to figure this one out. As I often say on these threads, I definitely need more coffee!!

I have reached out to a San Jose history group. Someone posted a pic of the restaurant on there, so hopefully it will ring a bell.
By the way,

I noticed the restaurant filed for bankruptcy in 1981. In the court document the plaintiff was granted a lot of money. Could she be in on it? Why would she deny a second plate if the sign said “all you can eat”? Can we find a relationship between the plaintiff and her?

The plaintiff wasn't granted any money. This is the money he was requesting as damages when he filed the lawsuit.

I didn't end up contacting LE because I was looking at Frosty Lee, not Frosty Jan. I think it's just a weird coincidence. Frosty Lee does resemble Debra Frost, though.

Multiple people, including you, have contacted the police and coroner about her being a possible match I don’t believe anyone has heard a clear yes or no. She also isn’t listed on the rule out list. What can we do about that, because I strongly believe it could be her.

To clarify, I did NOT contact police about her being a match to Debra Lee Frost. They are NOT a match. Debra was 17 in 1984 when she went missing. Frosty was already in California for at least three years, and clearly an adult. She was working as a restaurant manager in 1981 when Debra would have been only 14 years old.

I have a question for people who understand court documents better than me:
If this case, Don v Frosty, is in san joqauin CA, why does it seem to state Florida??

FL probably stands for Family Law, not Florida

MOD NOTE: Many violations have been reported on this thread.

In particular:

1. Websleuths does not condone members becoming personally involved in cases by initiating contact with family members, friends, case players, law enforcement, or the media. This does not preclude responding to a request for volunteers, or utilizing proper channels to report valid information, i.e., "a tip", to law enforcement.

If you submit a tip to law enforcement, do NOT announce it or discuss it in any way on the threads. Doing so has the potential to undermine an investigation.

2. Sleuthing people who LE have not designated as POI is not allowed - ONLY what is said in MSM by them (family members or other) can be discussed here. Living or dead, doesn't matter.

3. Posting info about people that you think might be the missing person, dead or alive, without being 100% sure it is them is invading the privacy of an innocent person who does not deserve to come across their name, address, phone number, email address and/or picture.

Please review the links below this post for posting within Websleuths' guidelines.

Came across Robin’s NamUs today and she reminded me of Frosty. She hasn’t been mentioned yet and interestingly, she was last known to be in Modesto. Her photo must be from around 1995.

Unfortunately it's not her. Frosty has been around since 81-83 , there's a picture of her in 89 I think and looks nothing alike, sorry x
