*Warning* - Jane Doe's PM photo at link: The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Gwendolyn Price disappeared from Bloomington, IN in 1993. Her profiles give only basic information about her disappearance, so there isn't much to explain if/how/why she might have gone to Detroit. She would have been 56YO in '95 when Jane Doe was discovered. Gwen's weight is off by 35-40 lbs. Although if she was homeless for 2 years, it's not unreasonable to think she may have lost that amount of weight (imo). I see a slight resemblance but it's a little difficult to see many of the fine details given the poor quality photo. A few features stand out to me, though...

1) Gwen appears to have a tuft of gray hair at her left temple area, as does JD. There might also be a spot of gray near their foreheads above the right eye.
2) Both Jane and Gwendolyn appear to have a band of lighter colored skin along their necks under their right jawlines.
3) Something about the shape of Gwen's bottom lip and chin makes me wonder what she'd look like if she held her mouth open the same way Jane Doe's is positioned.

I don't know... Maybe some of you can help me figure out whether to submit her as a PM.
