I can't find anything about her disappearance anywhere. Why is she suddenly being entered into Namus? Prays that her family find her soon. It's been a long time.

I wish we had a picture. There are quite a few black female jane doe's within the same age range within the few years after she was last seen.

I hope the family has submitted DNA

Has Alisha been identified? She is no longer listed in NamUs.

Brazoria county Jane Doe NamUs down as well so possibly they were a match. I sure hope so.

That's interesting because I recently messaged asking about her.

I was just reading about this. Heading should be changed to Found. Self-reported my post to have it changed.
