Why so many aliases?

Also, I wonder if she's been compared to the unidentified victims of Rifkin and Shulman?

Marilyn was my mother. She had so many aliases because she was a drug addict and prostitute and was in trouble with the law alot back then. She was arrested multiple times for prostitution.

I'm sorry to hear that, Tanya. Thank you for answering my question; NamUs isn't exactly flush with details, so it's great to have someone, like a family member or a friend, who can provide more info. Welcome to Websleuths!

I've done all I can think to do to find my mother who went missing 20 years ago. I'm so desperate and want to give her some peace and respect and find her remains and give her a proper burial and a place she can be visited by all of her children and grandchildren. I'm sure she is a jane doe somewhere. How can I find her? I have already submitted my dna to the FBI, created a missings person report and her info on NAMUS, already have my dna downloaded into GEDMATCH and have hit a dead end on how else I can try to find her remains. She was a drug addict and prostitute in the 80's in New York. If you didn't personally know she did drugs or prostitute, you would have never been able to tell. She was very clean, always very well kept, wouldn't steal from anyone..like Jennie in Forest Gump. Anyone have any ideas on how or what I can do next to try to find her? Any help is greatly appreciated. Her name was Marilyn Mara. I have seen posts on here before about her right after I created the missing persons report on namus.

Do you know her date of birth?
Putting her in NAMUS was a good thing to do.

I *think that one is Marilyn Joanne Mara. It’s hard to be sure. Not 100% sure of the Jimenez one as it’s a common name but does tie in.

Hi Tanya, do you know the address where her parents lived in Ridgewood, Queens?

It looks like the GPS coordinates might be mapped to a specific location on 60th Place and not just generic "Ridgewood, Queens" coordinates like namus frequently uses?
