Could David Parker Ray be responsible for her death? After his victims died, he left them naked by the highway (like Kelly Garrett).

In Kelly's and Angelica Montato's case, she did not die, but survived even after cutting her throat.

Way back in the beginning of July a now-deleted user posted this poster on Amy Billig's thread claiming this girl-young adult was her. Their posts were deleted, but I managed to save the poster. Websleuthers determined that the unknown person is actually this Jane Doe. I don't see a resemblance to Billig imo

As soon as I saw the poster you "posted" I saw a resemblance.

Lauraine ‘Lori’ Renee Long, not in NAMUS. She went missing from Santa Fe, NM on 9/18/1974 at the age of 17 with a height of 5’2” and weight of 120lbs and described as having dark (reddish) brown hair and blue eyes. Last seen wearing blue jeans, blue jean jacket, and waffle stomper shoes and carrying a guitar with a leather strap. There is nothing that doesn’t match the description. Further, there were noted to be waffle stomper shoe imprints at the scene.
I’ve asked @CarlK90245 to make the match. Here’s hoping.

Lori was alive at least as of 1978, when she got married in Texas

Edit: seeing residence records for her in the 2000s, ironically in New Mexico. She's definitely not missing.

Lauraine is also described as having a mole on the front of her neck, identical to the UID. It’s her.

Then how do you explain the fact that she was married in Texas in 1978?

I mean stranger things have happened. People using other peoples identities. Who knows?

That's true. I hadn't thought about it like that. I do hope that it is her. It seems very promising.

Hello everyone, life circumstances keep getting in the way. So here is Jane Doe’s redacted file, which I obtained from Office of the Medical Investigator. Google drive file

Awesome LD!!!!

“Vertical midline abdominal incision.
Repair of bladder - had 3 urinary tubes + urine would re-circulate”

- Interesting…..would indicate that this abdominal scar was from bladder surgery not a caesarean section.

“Punch biopsy - under left arm. was removed but discoloration could be mistaken for birthmark”

- Possibly a lymph node biopsy?

It would seem that this girl had some notable medical issues during her life. This may be useful in identifying or at least ruling out possibilities. The lengthy scar from bladder surgery should hopefully have been noted with a missing persons report due to her age and strong possibility of a parent being interviewed for the police report.

I saw that as well, then I got a bit confused. That information is on a hand written note with a Detective in New Jersey. I am wondering if the detective called to compared the UID with a missing person that had those characteristics? Only reason is because the autopsy does not mention 3 tubes or any abnormalities with he bladder in UID...Thoughts?
