Barbara Jean Barkley – The Charley Project

I think she looks very similar to Barbara. She’d be on the high end of the age range (19), but is from Florida which would fit the isotope testing results.

 

[MadMcGoo]

I submitted Barbara to Doe Network as a potential match.

Thanks @MadMcGoo

 

[Melt71]

@MadMcGoo thank hun! That's not a very long list when we look at comparable other teens of this age of the same era who have a lot more on their r/o lists. Makes me feel like there are plenty of options out there that haven't been considered yet.

Melinda Karen Creech?

From the midwest, she may have hitchhiked around for a year before catching a bad ride. I think the facial reconstruction from MCMEC and the reconstruction from the University of South Florida both resemble her. She's never been compared. She was compared to Warren Country Jane Doe though.

@Dorothy Jane was this match ever submitted? I agree she fits with the timeline, could really have run anywhere and lived in the Midwest at least for a while (we don't know about any earlier periods in Florida).

Hunters found the partial remains of a young white female, approximately 14 to 17-years-old while out hunting. She had straight brown hair. Her manner of death was ruled a homicide. The chemical isotope testing indicates she may not have been born, nor lived a significant amount of time in Tennessee prior to death. More likely she was born in Southern Florida or Central Texas and then resided in the Midwestern U.S. for several years prior to death.

I did not submit it. I get shy with submitting (something I need to get over). I do still think she's a really good match.

Bumping.

I think Melinda Karen Creech is a very good match for Cheatham County Jane Doe.

 

[Beekarina]

So do I.

Kathy Sue Wilcox? She had never been to the dentist. A little bit on the high side for the age estimate.

 

[John/Jane Doe]

So do I.

Both Melinda Creech and Cheatham County Jane Doe resemble each other. What makes me believe that if it is a possible match.

I still stand by my suggestion of Barbara Jean Barkley – The Charley Project

She’s not on the list of exclusions and I submitted her about 2 years ago. That’s unusual in my experience.

 

[Beekarina]

Did they ever reply @MadMcGoo

@John/Jane Doe did you submit Melinda Karen Creech?
