So little information other than the fact she had brown hair, was 30 or younger, and measured only 5 feet.

Eileen Hynson seems like a solid candidate for this Jane Doe

• She had brown hair
• 19 years old
• Measured 5'2" just 2 inches taller than decedent
• Was headed to a party in Benicia, California which is only 90 minutes away thru US 101

Interesting that the article below dated Feb. 12, 1980 states that the unidentified female was found south of Gilroy off Hwy 101 but is described as elderly rather than pre 30. Could there have been two found or may this article refer to UP111041?

Height 5’6”
130 lbs.
Permanent upper front dental bridge with white gold.

I notice that both of these decedents' NamUs files have the exact same info: pre-30, brown hair, and 5 feet. This newspaper article makes it even more confusing

I am only finding one unidentified female in NamUs for February 1980 in Santa Clara county/Gilroy CA which is UP111041. What is the UP# of the other one you mentioned?

You're right never mind. I guess I just got confused

Ah, ok. In that case, I do believe the article refers to the female in this thread found 2/9/80 in Gilroy. Thank you for checking.

in addition to the clipping above, here's one from the Feb. 10, 1980 edition of The Hollister Free Lance; all of the info matches that of the other article, making it clear they're talking about the same body. these are the only two clippings i can find on Jane Doe
