@sam spade if you hear back from LE would you be able to ask if they would consider using one of the companies that does DNA research - you can even mention that some of them raise funding to assist police dept that can't afford the cost.

I think this girl was probably a hitchhiker. Maybe when she was hitchhiking she tried to jump out of a moving car and had a fatal fall (perhaps a truck?). IMO.

I got a call from the ME office and they are testing Diana against this doe. The person said they were getting DNA from Diana's family.
She was very nice.

You never want anyone to be a doe but, you do want to bring them home.

Do you know if this DNA ever come back?

It looks like sam's no longer a member here unfortunately. I don't how long this testing takes but what do you think of the resemblance to Diane?

If the process was begun in January, it's unlikely we'll hear anything for several more months.

Exactly! Another case I referred a match in is still awaiting DNA testing after 15 months due to a backlog. And on FB there are multiple agencies reporting Namus returning samples untested as they can't keep up with demand...

It's not surprising. The labs were already backlogged, and then most of them were shut down for COVID for several weeks or months last year. And there are more and more requests for missing and unidentified people, cold cases, rape kits, etc.

It's so hard on the families to have to wait like this.

 

[Susikatze]

I still think that Allison Milles was her real name. I wish I could exclude the girl I found in the yearbook and she is alive and well... there are several around her age now in the phonebook, but from a different state, may or may not be her.

I think there are similarities.

Oh ok, thank you. I wasn’t sure how long the process takes.

It varies. Usually ruleouts come through more quickly than confirmations, which can require more rounds of testing to confirm an initial match.

[John/Jane Doe]

@Caring1 Hey could you post the current list of NamUs exclusions for this Jane Doe? I would greatly appreciate it.

6 Missing Person Exclusions

 

[John/Jane Doe]

Helen Allison looks a lot like this Jane Doe, the most curious thing is to know that Jane Doe was wearing blue jeans with a laundry label with the name "Allison Milles":

Helen Irene Allison – The Charley Project

3710DFVA - Helen Allison

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Helen Allison would have been 29 years old in 1985.

They do look VERY similar, and 15--35 is a huge range which would cover this.
Also, I want to add this would technically fit the ISOForensics map, there is a small patch there in the sort of Virginia/WV area
