I have brought her up as a potential match on the Iola Jane Doe thread:

TX - TX - Iola, near Bull Creek Bridge, WhtFem 13-19, UP4611, 1904 coin ring, mechanic's cloth, Oct'81

I came across this article about an unidentified teenager found on October 25, 1981 and could not find a listing on the Doe Network. Also I couldn't find her listed on the Texas Unidentified Person's Website. Her description does closely resemble a female that was found in January 1981, but...

Not much about her on Ancestry. She was originally from Missouri.

There is nothing I can find at all, other than NAMUS

Very sad

@Caring1 Hey could you post the current list of NamUs exclusions for this Jane Doe? I would greatly appreciate it. 0 Missing Person Exclusions

Possibile this UID?

Catherine was added to the Doe Network on Monday. I wish we had even just some basic information about the circumstances of her disappearance:

Might be a long shot, but something about that photo and her hairstyle screams Guadalupe County Jane Doe. Given the very little information available about her, she could be this doe.

I agree...

If you are thinking of the 1978 Jane Doe, she has been identified and her name is not publicly released.

I BELIEVE @shooksoul was referring to the UID from Newkirk, NV (UP138109) found March of 75 ....IF that is the reference, I do see some similarities.

Sorry if I insist...I think we should also look at this UID, the height and age range match and also the nickname/name

I see, I did not realize this UID was in Guadalupe County.

Was anyone able to locate additional photos of Catherine? From yearbooks? The only one we have is very blurry.

 

[Sweetluv]

I wonder if Catherine was pregnant or recently gave birth? This would be consistent with the Newkirk UID.

It's hard to speculate since we know next to nothing.
Guadalupe Coutny JD's eyes are listed as blue, while Cathy's are hazel.

Does Ancestry birth records not show her parents' names and town?

No. Nothing beyond her name and when she was born.

I believe these are her parents. Census records from 1950 show them and two older siblings living in St. Louis, Missouri.
