[theshadow45]

A few possibilities: Suzanne Justis http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/j/justis_suzanne.html and Karen Lee http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/l/lee_karen.html have been mentioned previously. June Howard http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/h/howard_june.html has little information available. Carolann Payne http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/p/payne_carolann.html is a bit old, but has the perfect profile of someone who could easily fall through the cracks. Diane Gilchrist http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/g/gilchrist_diane.html is a bit young but is missing from Vancouver, Washington not very far away.

They acknowledged my submission. But I never heard anything more. I am guessing that they are just presuming no match based on no CODIS hit.

Is it always accurate to have no hit? I know this is asked all the time.

There used to be issues. We're being told that no longer applies. It looks like maybe if there's only maternal DNA, that's being listed as "insufficient for profiling" but I haven't seen a confirmation of that. (I have to confess I haven't had time to follow up and try to locate a definitive answer...)

@JasonFutchLakeCityFL Are you aware of this case?

@JasonFutchLakeCityFL Are you aware of this case?

I am! I believe she’s also known as Swamp Mountain Jane Doe. I’ve been assisting Kim with this one. It’s an interesting one for sure!

You are right, sorry for the mix up. But I am aware of the Gov’t Camp skull (Still Creek Jane Doe), and have also been looking at it; but based on what I’ve seen it is a difficult one as her mandible was missing.

Yeah there doesn't seem to be much to go on. Poor woman.

You guys how do they have such a good facial reconstruction if they only found a cranium? Are we sure this reconstruction isn't meant for another file?
This is their notation (is why I am so concerned)
Skeletonized remains (cranium only) found near an old logging road by U.S. Forest Service contract personnel near Government Camp, Oregon on August 2, 1986.

Does anyone think Is it possible the reason there were no teeth Or mandible is because they would mean she was easily identifiable. For example someone with extensive dental work? Maybe someone who had had a broken jaw before? Thoughts?

It's always possible, I suppose, but the mandible is easily separated from the rest of the skull, so it's not surprising they wouldn't be found together. And teeth tend to fall out of the skull as the bone ages and shrinks. So neither is really surprising.

I think you should send that in. It says she was known to be in Washington state, which is not that far to Oregon.
