She has been ruled out as being http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/1238dfnh.html

 

[KaylaraOwl]

I submitted her as a possible match and got that response from namus.

What about Rochelle White? https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/5517/https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/5517/. She has brown hair and height is only off by a couple of inches. Age is within estimated range. Facial shape looks similar. However, she went missing from California and was due in court for divorce proceedings the day after she went missing. Seems strange she would end up across country and leave before finalizing her divorce. Time frame of her disappearance also fits. Did the doe wear glasses? There is not mention of glasses found with her belongings. If so, Rochelle also wore glasses.

That link says the page doesn't exist.

Another possibility is Margie Snead. Her hair color is not listed but appears dark. Height is within 1 inch. She has a squared facial shape like the jane doe and age is within range. https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/20976/. The estimated date of death for jane doe is end of 1973 and Margie went missing in January of 1994.

I found a blog post that suggests maybe this is Rory Kesinger http://oakhillresearch.blogspot.com/2016/08/rory-kesinger.html

Bump. Bob Evans? When did he get to NH?

 

[carbuff]

I think his earliest known confirmed date is 1977. But there's no information at all about him before that. He might have been there.

 

[alawaysslueth]

Could this be Barbara Aleksivich

Hm, there is a certain resemblance and I think the stats line up. Rory's in Namus; let me see if I can find her.

eta: Yes, here she is https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/26809/3.

Age and height are in range, as is hair color. Pretty good facial match. I don't know why it says no dentals or DNA; they used both to rule her out as "the lady in the dunes." At least that's what the news reports said. I think this one's close enough to send in.

Yes, Oakhill Research submitted it when they posted it on their site.

[YaYa_521]

She has been ruled out as being 1238DFNH - Dorothy Ann Bois

I submitted her as a possible match and got that response from namus.

I wonder why she isn't listed as a rule out? Did Dorothy have a NamUs profile at the time she was excluded by NamUs? I wonder if they may have made a mistake by telling you she was excluded. This might be worth a follow up.
