Also her Namus was removed almost three years ago, good to see the law enforcement gave the DDP a green light for her announcment, I hope the announcment will help to solve her case.

In addition, according to a Websleuths thread, Redbud Trail John Doe (Texas, 1998) has been tentatively identified. Someone who contacted law enforcement reported that they are in the process of confirming a potential match

Their first case from New York. A teenage girl buried 2-3 feet below ground surface in a hunched over position in Irondequoit, New York, a post mortal interval estimated as 10-30 years.

I just wonder if there are any updates on Healdsburg Jane Doe 1983 and Tukwila Bones Jane Doe 1997. These are two cases the DDP took in 2020, and there have been no updates since (their pages were last updated in 2022 and 2021, respectively).
