Can anyone check NamUs to see if this possible match has been ruled-out?

Just checked. Neither are excluded as each other, let alone have any exclusions.

I would but just don't know how to. I have tried to email contacts but they usually need me to speak on the phone which I'm not comfortable with.

 

[SimsGuy67]

Sent NamUs an email to submit this. Here's hoping!

Never got an email back... Does anyone know if the Jane Doe has a thread here? If they don't, I can start a thread?
