There is nothing about her on the net except for repeats of her Namus info. I wonder where she is? Has her family given up hope?

Refreshing the thread…

My first thought was Chris Wilder, but I see this was four years too late for that. A copycat maybe?

 

[case researcher]

Hmm, from the beginning, when I saw this girl and this thing, I immediately understood that this girl is exactly the young woman seen in the polaroid photo found in June 1989 in Port.St.Joe
And it seems that it is also the case, but Mellisa was 20 years old when she disappeared, but that girl looks like 17 at the most, here is the problem and the shape of the mouth and other small things.
You could also not be particularly interested in this matter and look for people more similar to that girl from the polaroid, HOWEVER, as soon as the information learned about Mellisa, it is written that she has a Burn scar on inner right calf from motorcycle. This really confused me because the girl from the polaroid also has a scar on the calf and right on the right leg ...What do you say?
