This profile was only added to NamUs yesterday. It’s amazing (and sad) how many cases exist and just aren’t ever publicized.

The only possible match I see in NAMUS is Janis Taylor, though there's really not enough information to go on. She disappeared from Concord, NH.

@HopeRains Did you see any news articles about her discovery?

I've been looking - nothing yet, which is really surprising to me.

Atrocious, really. A child is found near a main thorough fare, Namus has been around for almost 20 years, and this is just now getting out there? I simply do not understand. Maybe this is another one of those cases that went for review and landed in box on a shelf or something only to later be found ... sigh. I have found nothing in newspaper archives, but I may not have appropriate access ... although, I did look at a paper in Grafton County (location) and other "crime" news was covered. Maybe the date is off or something?

I haven't found anything on newspapers.com either.

Maine border is about 50 miles to East; border of Vermont about the same to the West. Province of Quebec is approx 100 miles to the North, with the border of Massachusetts about the same to the South. I-93 southern ends around the Boston area (don't know historical perspective on this).

 

[HopeRains]

Valley News out of West Lebanon appears to be the paper covering the area. Maybe someone else will find something in that paper that I am not seeing. Hope so. ​

Debbie Quimby, 13, went missing in May 1977 from Townsend, MA - approx 100 miles away.

Not much is known about the young Doe. Given all of the other close state borders, no PMI, and little other data - to include lack of news articles - there are probably many possibilities. Hopefully additional info will be provided soon.

I've placed a call to the NH OCME office in an effort to glean more information on her case. Awaiting callback - fingers crossed.

 

[DS2021]

Im not gonna publicly mention a name in case her family is active on these types of forums, but im calling a police department on Monday to submit a tip about a potential match. Fingers crossed

 

[DD Byrd]

Has anyone seen whether this was NB or SB on 93?

 

[cheshire84]

I was able to find one article. PMI is 1-4 years before discovery.

 

[DS2021]

Has anyone seen whether this was NB or SB on 93?

The article above mentions that she was found in a swampy area,roughly 200 yards from rt93 and exit 29, which is an northbound exit

 

[DS2021]

I got a call this AM. The potential match i submitted was unfortunately ruled out using dental records. I'm not sure if she's been added to the namus rule out list or not. I'm not sure if I should publicly mention her name.

I'd be interested in who you submitted, because I have a few candidates myself! Maybe she's already on the exclusions list.
