I also believe this to be Mabel. For all the reasons it could be to include the shirt she is wearing in her photo and that found with the Jane Doe, seem to be very similar if not same to me.
The map below shows where the Jane Doe's body was found, at Lenox and Florence near Lake Mann. It also shows the highschool (Jones) where Mabel attended school, ~ 2.2 miles away, and the Parramore area (where Green Parrot was located) ~ 5 miles away from location of remains (I'm unclear of exact address of Green Parrot).

OWNER OF PARRAMORE'S GREEN PARROT FEARS CITY WILL CLOSE BAR'S DOORS

The Green Parrot bar, its stucco and wood walls painted to reflect its name, has been serving up beer and wine in the downtrodden Parramore area for 40 years.
It has survived segregation, construction of the looming East-West Expressway and even three killings since 1995.
But Orlando wants to shut down the family-owned business in the small, un-air-conditioned building surrounded by a dirt parking lot.
The Green Parrot, city officials contend, does not fit into plans they have for the area. The city plans to spend nearly $1 million buying and remodeling a 30-unit apartment complex and two vacant buildings across Parramore Avenue from the bar.
After that work is complete - the date is uncertain - the Green Parrot would be a bad influence on the neighborhood, city officials contend.
"We're trying to make it a desirable area" in which to live, said Leila Allen, the city's housing and community development bureau chief.
So the city has contacted the owner of the building leased by the Green Parrot to see whether he would be willing to sell.
The city hasn't gotten a reply. A representative of the owner, Rood Investment Co. of Orlando, could not be reached.
But the Green Parrot owner, Evelyn Simmons, fears her bar less than a block from the East-West is as good as closed.
"I really don't know what I'm going to do," said Simmons, a single mother of two. "I don't want to become a [welfare) recipient."
If the city buys the Green Parrot building, Simmons could be paid up to $20,000 in relocation costs, the standard city offer for disrupting a business.
But she doubts the Green Parrot can move anywhere else in the Parramore area - just west of downtown and Interstate 4 - because there are so many churches nearby.
By city law, a bar cannot be opened within 1,500 feet of a church.
Although three people have been killed at the bar or close by during the past three years, including one in March, Simmons said the Green Parrot is not a dangerous place.
"Any bar is going to have problems," she said. "It doesn't matter where you go."
Orlando Police Sgt. Jeff Goltz agrees, saying officers often respond to calls for assistance at the Green Parrot, but "it's just like any other bar in town."
Simmons, 41, has owned the Green Parrot for 10 years, taking over from her mother, Sally Ward, who ran it for three decades. Ward's picture adorns one of the bar's walls.
Simmons' brother and Ward's son, Larry Simmons, used to run the Dixie Doodle - one of the two empty buildings across from the Green Parrot the city intends to buy - until it was closed in 1994 after a spate of well-publicized violence. Larry Simmons now is a furniture maker and church deacon.
Despite the three unrelated killings, the Green Parrot has not gained the reputation of the Dixie Doodle, which was immersed in drug dealing.
The city was moving to close the bar as a public health nuisance before the building's owner revoked the lease.
Evelyn Simmons considers her bar a haven where the working poor who live in the area can walk in, have a drink and relax. A bottle of beer costs as little as $1.25.
"These people," she said, "have nowhere else to go."
