Any theories you have are greatly appreciated? Please suggest them below.

Photos of the clothes she was found with.

Apron:

Skirt:

Sandal:

I wonder if the victim was a waitress at a local diner/restaurant or something (reason for the apron??) and had been heading into work or leaving?? Wonder if anyone reported missing was known to be heading in or leaving work in the area.

Also on google maps, there is a chimney in the middle of a lot on the 1500 block of Rex Street .. I wonder if that was the lot where the house she was found in once was.

 

[b741ma]

It doesn't mention if the house's previous residents were questioned about the disappearance. I wonder why.

 

[Dylgem22]

maybe the previous owners had been long gone, it was abandoned and the victim was placed in there or killed after it was already empty?? then when someone finally decided to bulldoze it/tear it down, they found the remains .. so sad all the unclaimed persons that show up ..

I can't say she resembles the reconstruction much (and I know LSU Faces are usually pretty accurate), but otherwise, Cassandra seems plausible.

I actually see quite a bit of resemblance! Especially the shape of her face and the nose! It’s only about an hour and a half drive from location to location. I think it’s a good find!

Yup, I see a resemblance too. Good find @victoriarobinson642!

Just curious if anyone else is seeing the outfit she was wearing as more 1970's than 80's? Could that "apron" be a pinafore?
I'm just thinking she may be an early 1970's domestic abuse victim. JMHO

PS... Just humor me...

"Mrs. Giles was last seen in her vehicle with her boyfriend by neighbors around 1100 hours on 11/15/1971. Her boyfriend was driving and witnesses advise that Mrs. Giles was slumped over in the vehicle. The vehicle was later found in the rear of the Western Auto Store at Northgate Shopping Center, however, Mrs. Giles was not."

Funny you should say that. I hadn’t thought much about it until I saw a link someone posted on another thread that contained an UID from UK? I think. Anyway, she was wearing a pinafore and when I saw the picture, I immediately thought of this case. I’m not real familiar with pinafores, but they do look similar.

But yeah, now that you say that, I see 70s too. Even the shoes. With a PMI that large, I think it’s entirely possible.

 

[MadMcGoo]

Oh wow @coffeeandacig that resemblance is striking! That’d be a long drive with her body in the vehicle. But crazier things have happened. I’d submit both of these, for sure!

Thanks @MadMcGoo! I'm thinking it's possible that her boyfriend knocked her out and took off to family or friends in Shreveport with her. Poor pretty lady was abducted for sure.

Wow! That's quite the resemblance. I have no clue why she'd be in Louisiana, though.

There maybe something in old newspaper articles, I'll have to check if I can find anything.

 

[coffeeandacig]

@folieadeuxnola Do you happen to have any contacts in the Shreveport area who are familiar with this case? Thanks folie!!!

Message: Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I will be looking into this and having both cases compared.

Cross posting to Marie's thread, too.

Street view, house is now demolished but the location is the same.

Google Maps

 

[theshadow45]

Caddo Parish Jane Doe has been unidentified for 27 years today.

 

[Constellations]

Some women who I thought had the potential to be this Jane Doe due to the distance in between where they were last seen are Lisa Ann Littles, Wandolyn Ann Holland, Phyllis Rome, Londa Renee Phillips, Betty Jean Rhodes, Paula Phillips, Mabel Rogers, Cassandra Louise Williams, and Kassaundra Denise Williams Patterson. All of them are under 6 hours away.
