Imo it's Kitty. Or has she been ruled out some way?

As far as I know she hasn't even been located and the story is officially unverified.

My sincerest apologizes ahead of time, but who is Kitty?

She's raised a few times. See back in thread 1 around post 1508. (No I didn't read back through all of them, it came up in a search I did!)

Sorry, I meant kitty’s!

Kitty's not in Namus. All they have is a photo and a story that doesn't totally hang together.

I'll have to go back and find it! Thanks! I thought maybe I'd miss a new name.

Kitty has apparently been located alive and well. According to From The Vault podcast

Is this the episode from April 28, 2020? Would it be possible for you to sum up the information about her?

To clarify a bit: not a motel photo Kitty/Kathy/etc., but that runaway girl wearing sunglasses. It was mentioned in the podcast with Carl Koppelman.

Does anyone know if WCJD has been submitted to the DNA Doe Project?

Margaret Press of DDP responded on DDP's pinned post that someone else is working WCJD's case. I posted about this here some pages back. So it seems that a different genealogist or genealogy group has WCJD's case

I grew up near this area. This is my "close to home" case, which I want solved. Going to talk to my grandpa, who went to Sam Houston a little before her case to see if he remembers anything. He studied journalism, so I hope he might know something.

So, I just sent a message to the DDP Facebook site, asking if they were planning to look at this case... (If you don’t ask, the answer is “no,” right?) The response I got back was “We would if the agency would contact us.” Isn’t that interesting?!! So I replied and asked which agency that was, maybe I can help encourage them. Haven’t heard back yet, but will post when I do. Anyone have any insight into the agency that initiates these requests?

I do believe all the DDP folks are volunteers, which makes them not only super pressed for time - but real heros. They do such amazing work, so I am hoping that there is at least some tiny thread of hope this might still be investigated by them!

This was discussed a while back in this thread. I feel like there was a different genetic genealogy team who were working on it? I might be wrong.

@sunnynz is correct, see post below which was from 21 June 2020 upthread @Kudzu

Forgive me if this is already known but... a week ago someone on the DNA Doe Project facebook page asked "is Walker County Jane Doe a consideration for your project?" And Margaret Press (CEO of DDP) responded "Someone else has been working her case."
