I think this is her aunt Teresa Lopez whom she was living with before her disappearance.
View TERESA LOPEZ's Obituary and express your condolences

Her description is similar to Valentine Doe.

You would think that a missing 14 year-old girl who went missing almost 40 years ago would rate a NCMEC number on her NamUs webpage.

So I am new to this and have been searching NAMUS.
Is this a possible match?

This was the Doe Network response:
936UFFL & NJ NAMUS MP 30051 DIANA MARTINEZ

Your suggested match has previously been submitted to Doe Network. We declined to forward the match to law enforcement for the following reasons:

I went to the Wayback Machine and found the original listing for the UID from the Broward County Sheriff's site:

"1988 Homicide (BS88-01-9624)

Body Found: Jan 19, 1988
Crime Scene: A wooded area in the 18400 block of State Road 84 in unincorporated Broward County.
Description: She was a white female with brown hair. She was 5'4" tall.
Approx. Age: 18 - 24
Investigation: According to the Medical Examiner, the victim had been deceased for approximately 2 years before the body was found. Therefore, she would have been killed sometime between the latter months of 1985 and mid-1986.
Clues: She was wearing a solid silver bracelet with a floral pattern design"

So with the source of the information confirmed, voting no:
1) Timing/ EDD - MP was still alive when the UID was killed
2) Distance
3) Hair color

Best,
Mary Bell

@Mithrilism. You may already be aware but given you indicated you were "new to this" I wanted to respond. The DoeNetwork Not submitting the match does not mean that Ms. Martinez is excluded, it means that DN doesn't believe the match to be supported enough for the DN to send it to LE/ME. Whether or not to review the possible match is totally at the discretion of those who are the legal authorities on the missing and Doe case.
