I am finding references (heritage, familysearch) to a person with the same name of Pan Bushnell, maiden name Newton, same location, the DOB is even the same with the exception of the year. This one is 1928 not 1934. Also found a sister's obituary that states she was raised by a couple with the last name Newton and that she was survived by the children of her deceased sister, Pan Bushnell but I have no idea if this is the right one. If it is she has 3 children.

2 different people or incorrect birth year somewhere? Too many coincidences but that's a 6 yr difference in DOB.

Weird. They both have a June 8 birthday too. Ancestry Family trees for the one born in 1928 have her death date as 2000 in AZ-- but none of them have a source for that info. There are yearbook photos of the 1928 Pan too-- she has a similar face shape and I believe this could be her (30+ years difference between photos makes it hard to say for sure). Could she have used a false birth year as part of her real estate fraud? I'm honestly not sure if the 1928 one is her or not.

Her webpage on the CDOJ at Pan Lee Newton and her NamUs webpage at The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs) have been removed. I'm assuming that means her case has been closed. Does anyone know the details? It's been 38 years.
