I submitted Pamela Marie Johnson as a potential match. The reconstruction, particularly the teeth, look almost identical to me, but I'm not sure if she has dentals available for comparison...

That looks like a good possible, but the distance between where she was reported missing is a very long way.

Her Height is quite off as well, pamela being 5'8

Her Height is quite off as well, pamela being 5'8

Namus has her height as 5'4-6'0

Agree, but her Namus page classifies her as a runaway, so I thought it was worth a shot given the facial/teeth similarities.

Namus has her height as 5'4-6'0

Didnt see that only saw 5'4, otherwise it's a good match that should be submitted

NamUs says she likely had a healed fracture of the 4th lumbar vertebrae. Makes me wonder not only how she sustained that injury, but how it affected her in life. Chronic pain could’ve been a major issue for her. Could it have been a car accident? Abuse? A fall?

What about Monica Denise Jackson? Dissappeared at the start of 2014. Savannah Georgia is a seven hour drive from Miami and she may have gone there for work? MOO
