NY NY - Janice Fullam, 17, Smithtown, 30 Oct 1981

[Beekarina]

To compare. It looks like Janice had straight hair to me, and if she was on the road, she probably would not have been doing the "curling iron & hair spray" think you needed to get the Farrah flip her hair style required in these pics. I could see a guy describing her hair as long and straight.

The last pic is a forensic reconstruction via Investigators hope facial reconstruction leads to murdered woman's identity

I have insomnia, so put the most recent UID pic through Artbreeder to try changing the hair & eyes to brown. I'm not skilled at this, but hmmm?

Possibly the Cheerleader in the Trunk? I don't know if this match sounds good or not but she went missing only 4 hours away which is not much. This is my first time working on this case so I'm not perfect at finding matches for her yet so this may be good, may be bad. She also isn't excluded to my knowledge.

Here is a table:

	Cheerleader in the Trunk (1982) UP7477	Janice Fullam MP4535	Possible?
Sex	Female	Female	Match
Race	White/Caucasian	White/Caucasian	Match
Age	17-45 (Likely 17-27)	17	Match
Height	5'2 - 5'6	5'7	Match/Possible
Weight	100-130lbs	120lbs	Match
DLC/DOD	Spring 1982 - 1972	October 30, 1981	Match
Hair Color	Dark-Reddish Brown	Brown	Match
Eye Color	Unknown	Green	Unknown
Distinguishing Features	Spondylolysis which may be asymptomatic, previous injuries to back and feet.	Overbite	Possible
Circumstances	Found in a trunk.	Missing walking to meet with her brother.	Possible
Distance	Hauppauge-Frederick	289 miles (4hr 42min)	Possible/Match

Sorry if she has been mentioned or considered before! Here is the Doe's thread:

Janice does not appear on the list of exclusions in NAMUS. I would go ahead and submit her. Nothing to lose!

Submitted her about a week ago. She has not been considered.

Submitted her about a week ago. She has not been considered.

It can take a really long time, if ever. Hopefully someone will take a look.

Edited: not to be discouraging. Just that it is the holiday season, and response time, and so on really varies. I've submitted and received a response along the lines of "will look into this and let you know if _" literally within a few minutes, and also have felt I sent things into The Void.

I know. I have received the same copy-paste email many times. It's not their fault though, they're busy people and the match will eventually get looked at! I have come to accept that and I'm happy I learnt that when I started.

I sent a match between the Valencia Jane Doe (The one on my profile) and Andria Bailey on August 31st. The match was sent to LE on September 30th and that is the latest update and it has been about 2 months. I'm not bothered about it, it just means I have more time to look for other matches! Janice will take longer though as Andria and this Doe have DNA available but one is not in CODIS or any database as why would they send the match?

Janice has no dentals while dentals are the Cheerleader's only identifier. Luckily, Identifiers has expressed some interest in trying to extract DNA from the remains or her belongings and DNA is something that will either help or partially solve this case.

I heard back and it's probably not her, due to dental inconsistencies. They also said "Janice's case reads more like foul play closer to home". Not sure what that means.

Oh that is Interesting… for so long they were saying she was a runaway or fugitive.

I don’t know if that article has ever been posted here on this thread. I just came across it.

Janice’s activities related to drug dealing and her previous trouble with the law in regards to it are what’s believed to have caused her disappearance. She tried to act as a police rat to get a lesser sentence for the charges since she got caught selling to an undercover cop three times. It’s believed her “friends” or others she knew killed her to silence her so she wouldn’t rat them out.

On Long Island, many of the youth are involved in marijuana and other recreational drugs. Back then, much of that stuff was illegal and considered immoral. A lot kids/teens got super angry at whoever ruined their reputation in the small town setting nightmare that is Long Island. Talking from experience because I live here and it can be dreadful.

@Caring1 Hey could you post the current list of NamUs exclusions for Janice Fullam? I would greatly appreciate it.

maybe someone found out she was a possible drug/police informant and killed her? she could have been a supposed friend, or a high-ranking acquaintance/drug dealer...it seems her friends know more than what they told the police...
it is very common for people arrested for minor trafficking to be considered informants... since the local merchants knew about his arrest and did not want to sell to him, it seems that they already suspected that he might be working as an informant... it is possible that he was persistent and angry to the wrong person, but given the circumstances of her disappearance, I more suspect that she accepted a ride from the wrong person, was raped and murdered...Whether it was someone she knew or a stranger, who knows, but it seems like a crime of opportunity....
either way
rest in peace

Doe network has the jane doe I've submitted a few times over the year to compare. https://www.doenetwork.org/cases/so...xfX5XjTMiDPUVkU9-w_aem_bjpL8u-EKwmWPp-ww5bfQA I do not see her ruled out. They responded to my comment about trying to get Janice compared. They responded that they are going to look into it. Maybe it's her, which I think is a big possibility, or we will know it's not her.

I see the resemblance. Also noticed the UID had some back issue and I believe so did Janice.
