Let's say that being two there could have been some confusion...one of the Doe is now listed as not identified sex...
Karen Lee and Rodney Grissom?

So everyone's on the same page, the family of Pem Yates-Briggs believe that UP4389 could be Pem. She was reported missing last month and DNA has been submitted to compare. Fingers crossed!

This is not the first time this would have happened...

Not really. The remains were left in the Santa Clarita valley, adjacent to the Magic Mountain amusement park. Even back in the late 1970's that area was populated, although not as much as it is today. And it was only about 8 or 9 miles north of the heavily populated San Fernando Valley.

Anyone who's seen the 1983 movie National Lampoon's Vacation with Chevy Chase would recognize it as Wally World. NL's Vacation was filmed only a couple of years after these two UID females were found.

I just found this clip from the movie, and realized that as they are running through the parking lot, there is a treeline in the background. The wash where the two UID females were found runs just behind that treeline.

I just drove by there on Wednesday, and had that same "Vacation" discussion. It is also right along the I-5.
