I'm thinking the age group being listed as Pre 20 is a typo.

Tiffany Reid? Missing from Shiprock since 2004, my mind immediately went to her.

Good thinking. I think she's a good potential match.

I'd say that is a good match as well. Though I also think that Anna Curley could also fit.

I submitted Tiffany though the Doe Network, awaiting a response

NamUs has been updated but it does not seem like there is any new information. Perhaps that information is only available to Pro users aka LE or ME.

 

[ProudSuggestion3528]

NamUs has been updated as of a few days ago. Still no rule outs. Age group is still at Pre 20 even though the age range is from 20-60.

Hm. Hopefully NamUs will be updated again.

NamUs was last updated on 2/28/2025. Listing now mentions some unspecified clothing found on the body. Still no ruleouts.

Her NamUs page is down at the moment. The feature that counts the Open/Resolved cases hasn't been working since Friday so I don't know if it's been counted as Resolved.

Tiffany's NamUs listing is still up, so it is likely not her.

I forgot to update this: it was indeed counted as resolved when the counter came back.
