Anyone know if her agency is aware of DNA Doe Project? It would be amazing if DDP could take on her case. She's one of the top does I'd love to see identified.

Carl just updated his reconstruction of her, I will wait for him to share but it looks GOOD.

I know she's on the list, I was looking at it the other day, but I'm not sure if investigators on this case are aware of DDP.

I found someone listed on findagrave as "missing" since Sept 1980 and I was thinking that she could be a Jane Doe like Arroyo Grande-- but there is ZERO info about her case online that I can find. Her family has her list as "Missing - presumed dead" on their Ancestry family tree. I need someone who is willing to pick this up and contact her family or California investigators to find out if there is a missing persons case/get this case in NAMUS (I don't like to contact people but I know many of you here are pros at it).

Close up of teeth, there is a slight gap on the left side a bit further back than Arroyo



1970, Sophomore - Appears she has braces


1969, Freshman - Appears she has braces


Info provided by Gardener:

Gail's gap is between the wrong two teeth - #6 & #7. AGJD's gap is between #7 & #8.

Yes, noticed it was a bit further back than AGJD, IMO do not see any facial similarities between the two

Thanks, rats!

 

[carbuff]

To me she looks more like this Reno UID: https://www.websleuths.com/forums/s... I don't see much resemblance to AGJD at all.

Although I see no facial resemblance with AGJD I think it's a very interesting find Thanks Gardener and FolieadeuxN for the extra info.

I like your recon CarlK (as always)

You read my mind I hope there is another detective just as dedicated to her case as the other lovely one who cared (or still does) for her grave.

 

[Alleykins]

I'm growing impatient, I was never one to hurry up and wait. Yes, I know, these things take time. Heavy sigh.

 

[Fairy1]

I'm pretty sure a local news station is going to feature this case Monday on the 11 PM broadcast. KSNV - channel 3 in Vegas. I hope they have new information!

TBH I suspect if DDP took on the case she'd be ID's well before the isotope results are back.
