I don't see her on NamUs.

Do you think she has already been identified?

Do you think she has already been identified?

It's likely she has been.

 

[PatLaurel]

It's likely she has been.

I can't find anything about this Jane Doe... anywhere. I follow Florida's UPs almost religiously and don't remember a recent identification.

What does this mean?

“Dentals: Available, partial adult dentition.”

She must have lost some teeth and had a "partial" which means only a group of teeth were replaced. That would leave a very unique way to identify her if they could find her dental records.That's like a needle in a haystack tho.

Hmm. I had never seen it written that way. It’s always been “partial denture” or something similar.

That's wonderful that they've learned who she is. Perhaps the family will release information over time. Glad she has her name back!
