This is exciting! I am glad you submitted!
I feel like many of us hold back because of the uncertainty of some details not matching or from having a mediocre confidence that the two could even be a potential match due to estimated age, PMI or distance.

However, what I have been learning in recent months by submitting directly to the ME/Coroner’s office and in a few cases the investigative LE, our submissions may not be the right match but it does allow for the cold case to be brought to light again. I have personally witnessed evidence of this. DNA, fingerprints or dental records are being located which is a motivator to again ramp up investigations.

I have many that I feel could be a possibility that I have never submitted due to certain doubts. I will be going back and digging into my research to see what was holding me back to see if they really should be submitted. I am encouraging all of us to do the same. Let’s not hold back, especially if it appears to be a stagnant cold case.

Thank you for your positive comment. I am hoping for a good result and glad she has been submitted also. I never get my hopes up, just get the information to the correct contact, leave it in good hands and follow up down the road to keep it relevant.

I totally agree with you. I have learned years ago to contact either the Coroner's office or LE. I really never had luck with contacting NamUs. I am going to follow up with the Jane Doe I submitted last month found in FL in 1988 UP1194 to a girl that went missing in CA. The Coroner's office did email me back and said they are going to look into it for a comparison. I haven't seen any movement on either NamUs profile, but I am hoping maybe they are doing something behind the scenes.

I wish I have kept better notes of possible matches I submit. I usually just go back thru my emails here at work to see who and when I sent them.

Hoping you hear back soon about this possible match. I think you may be on to something!

Why not give one of her bones to Orthum Labs in Woodlands TX, to find out who she is? They have done this before with a cold case. Even with degraded DNA and only one nanogram!
