New case in NamUs, was added to the Charley Project in May.
Oddly, when looking for Ruth through newspapers, I found that she was compared to a Jane Doe found in Canton, New York, on April 4, 1950. I found no evidence of this woman being identified, and the articles stop in 2002. Does anyone remember this case and if she was identified?
