Could she be:

NamUs #UP1341 found in Florida in 1973?

NamUs #UP62410 found in California in 1977?

NamUs #UP11774 found in NY in 1978?

On the thread for UP1341, I posted her name/stats.
Any thoughts?

I did not find anything in newspaper archives, at all.

May 23, 1972, was a Tuesday.

I maybe of some assistance in Deborah’s case. So last night I had made a flyer for her using what we knew from Namus. This morning I got messages stating that my information was incorrect. So according to the niece in a Facebook post, she was oringally reported missing in 1972. That case was closed and it was just recently reopened on January 22. We do have more context now on how exactly she went missing. I am also in contact with her niece as well.

There are more photos of her in the comments.

Her family confirms that her middle name is not Lea, it’s Lynn.

Are you providing the additional info/context on this? Or is the original last seen date still the same with the case being reopened? Thanks!

The original last seen date is the same with the case being reopened. She had went missing from the Fort Logan Mental Institute.

I am going to be submitting UP9593 at some point today as a possible match. Though the PMI is a bit off. Still though this Doe was found just southwest of Denver 3 months after Deborah went missing. Might be worth a shot.

So I recreated her flyer using what I know now from the Denver police department in her case. The DPD has their own flyer for her as well.

This morning, the cold case investigator in Jefferson County Colorado reached out and indeed UP9593 will be compared to Deborah.

Do we know what was the concerning behaviour her father saw?
