I did mention both Deloris and Mary Leah to M. Burgess. It did not do a full write up but I did credit websleuths and the specific contributors. We will see.

I checked my email, I submitted:

Mary Leah Rodermund &
Cheryl Hanson

Did anyone submit Delores Stanton?

 

[Houston Mom]

I don't see Deloris Stanton on the thread. She was 5'2" and weighed 110 lbs. She went missing from Gainsville, Fl on April 13, 1976. She was a native of Beaver Falls, Pa and a known hitchhiker.

I did not submit, feel free!

Lssayv has suggested Yvette Watson as a match on another thread (Walker Co Jane), but I wonder if she could be Cali? Yvette went missing from the UK in April of 1979.

And yes there was drag racing in England:

Cali-Yvette collage:

The nose and the mouth match, I am not sure about the eyes and chin, but there is something about the look that seems similar. However, wouldn't it be likely that she had an accent and that would have been noticed?

Probably worth a submission -- but maybe we should wait until we hear something back.

You are a wizard at finding possible options that seem possible

 

[Houston Mom]

Nameless Helper, thank you for your kind words. I do think I am blessed in this endeavor. Since you have a contact, would you submit Kathleen Rodgers.

 

[annegrete]

I say submit Cheryl Hanson, Mary Leah Rodermund, Kathleen Rodgers, and Delores Stanton. I'd rather have more rule-outs than what ifs.

Mary Leah is from Louisiana, and my instinct has always been to check in the Bayou/Cajun... I could be right or wrong...

 

[annegrete]

If anyone can provide a summary, I'd appreciate it. Cali's LE officer said that there are more changes to the face than just the eyes closing. Anyone know what else? And how it applies to Cali? Thanks!

In all the pictures I've looked at it seems the eyebrows are raised in almost a surprised expression. I have not been able to find any description of what happens to facial features and I spent quite a bit of time looking. Anyone else have a comment, I would find this helpful also.

Yes, in addition to the "surprised" eyebrows, you also have significant flattening of the cheeks and sagging of the jowls. The creases from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth flatten out. Those areas of the face account for much of what gives our faces their unique character.

While there are many changes in death unless something has happened to damage the overall appearance one can usually make an ID from the pm pic. CAli's nose is quite distinctive and in my many conversations with M. Burgess he does not feel it was damaged in any way.

Yes, interesting story. The second ME to do Cali's autopsy said her bones show her to be under 18 and most likely around 16. The wisdom teeth being erupted gives the impression she was slightly older than that. There are just so many children from the 70's who were written off as runaway's and no MP report filed.....or the file was purged when they turned 18. There are also so many unreported children who went missing from the foster care system during that time. I think if we took a day and all of us working on this would flood social media with both her PM pic and her enhanced pic from NCMEC we might still stand a chance of someone recognizing her.

Re: Niki Diane Britten- Let's at least let the NAMUS professionals and Cali's LE officer know that there's a resemblance, both physically and in circumstance (runaway)
Who, with good contacts to NAMUS and Livingston Co, wants to do that?

I'll send her in to M. Burgess. If he thinks her a possible match he will then have the DNA compared and that will handle NAMUS.

I am just returning from some traveling and will submit Rogers and the other one in the next few days.

New NamUs ruleout.

I don't know if we submitted her.

Interesting she has current DNA. I don't know if this is new but wouldn't the automatic screen have already checked?
