Mr. Cina,I believe your NamUs Unidentified Female, Case number 1974-0266 may in fact be Elizabeth Eaton Converse (AKA Connie Converse, musician/vocalist last seen in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1974). I have included comparison photographs: As you can see, the similarities are stunning - from the shape of the nose, to the lips, eyebrows, jawline, even the hair and where the cowlick is located. I sent this same information to Michigan State Trooper Detective Sarah Krebs, and have also spoken with her on the phone with regard to how I developed my investigation, and how I arrived at the information presented here. Did anyone ever dredge that canal where your unidentified female was found? I could not find any evidence of that - however another canal not far was dredged and a 1974 VW (model unknown) was found that was reported stolen the following year (I doubt this is related, but figured I'd let you know just in case). I understand that because this is a suspicious death that you need to keep this case confidential, and I will as well - but if you reach a point whereby you can keep me informed, or the disposition, I would certainly appreciate it. I love Connie's music, and her lyrics are so profound and moving! Thank you, and have a great day (BTW, your Forensic Artist is incredible with detail).
