She's so young, 20-25, no picture although there's a recognizable face on this JD. She's not on doenetwork either. Can anyone do some digging and see if we can find something?

 

[Moonwalker9]

Bumping for her. Where is the no PM? How can u see it? Impossible to identified her with no picture.

All efforts to identify the decedent have been unsuccessful.

Clearly all efforts have not been made - as there is no photo attached to her file.

I found an article from the Oakland Tribune, 14 Apr 76, pg 3 - will keep poking around and see what else I can find.

Well done with finding the article. According to the article she had been seen in the neighbouring and a photo of her was shown around but nobody knew her name. She was possibly a teenager when she died. Possibly from an overdose? But without her photo identification will be close to impossible. That's why it's so important that we find pms for those with recognizable faces. Seneca jane doe got alot of attention just because of that reason.

29 August 1977, The Concord Transcript, pg 1

"Jane Doe Two [was] buried today at Memory Gardens Cemetery [Concord]"

"Jane Doe Two overdoes on drugs in Richmond...she may have been a proustite who came from the Bay Area from Los Angeles, though that was never confirmed"

Looks like she was buried, not cremated. Hopefully that means DNA can be extracted if she is exhumed.

The other Doe in this article is still unidentified (2UFCA)
