Yes, that’s true, there was a new reconstruction for her recently, looks very realistic, but for the other two cases I mentioned there was no update in long time:

I think Montreal River and Naylor Road John Does we’re already identified by them
The Dashboard was last time updated in January 2025
Exhumation of the Tonti Train Crash revealed that there are remains of two individuals instead of one in the same bag.

From the same source:
Two individuals are represented,” Randolph said. “There appears to be more of a juvenile who has some teeth and other parts represented that we weren’t expecting to see. We weren’t expecting to see a young child, and we have some other parts that are definitely more compatible with being an adult.”
Randolph says more research will now be needed to try and solve the new mystery. Tonti is a small community located north of Salem.
“We’re going to do some research on all of the known victims, because that will help us when we get to the genealogy phase. If we know the family trees of some of the known victims, we might see that some of these remains may have come from a known victim and somehow gotten comingled, which is understandable in this kind of a mass casualty event.”
But Randolph says there is also a possibility there is a second unknown child victim from the train crash.

There were (well, until last week, thought to be) 11 dead: 6 adults, 3 infants, one child, and one unknown.
According to the Corpus Christi Caller Times on June 12, 1971 (bolding is mine+some paraphrasing due to OCR failures):
Most were known immediately. The accident happened on the 10th, and Ms. Garavallia and baby Geraldine were IDed on the 11th or 12th. The article cited here from June 11th states "the body of a small girl" was tentatively IDed but authorities were waiting for her relatives to arrive and visually identify her, and a woman (i.e. Ms. Garavallia) was unidentified. Which leaves the unknown remains.
From this article:

I couldn't find a thread for him on here, so I created one: FL - Daytona Beach Shores, WhtMale, 21-35, July 4, 1984
Three Points John Doe found in Arizona desert in 1988 is in genealogical research according to his Namus profile and he is of Mexican origin. Before that his origin was unknown. I believe he has passed to active research phase recently as on the DDP website he is still listed as in donation pre-research phase.

A new development for China Black identification. Police received a tip she maybe Kathryn Griffin who was reported missing in 2012. However China Black no longer lives in the same medical facility and her location is unknown.

Wayne County woman lost identity years ago. Now police might know who she is, but she’s missing
Police think a Wayne County woman who lost her memory and forgot her identity might be the same person who went missing more than a decade ago. But now they can’t find her.
