DDP posted an announcement on their Facebook page that research is now in progress! They update their match excel sheet on Monday - let's hope for high matches <3

What a great start!

 

[folieadeuxnola]

What a great start!

Absolutely ... 14 40cm+ matches I think is pretty descent. She maybe a quick resolve in getting her proper name back.

 

[Arz]

Her Admixture

 

[pinkclinker]

Does anyone know if Myriam Kniaz was ever submitted as a match? I see a strong resemblance, though Myriam's jaw appears to be a bit narrower, and the age, height, weight, time period, and general profile (ie a foster kid and a runaway) all match.

Green River Killer: Youngest victim of serial killer identified
according to this article
She has been identified as 14 year old Wendy Stephens

The identification has been made possible by DNA Doe Project

May Wendy now Rest In Peace

 

[djanga]

Only 14 years old... So sad, she had all her life ahead when she met this monster. She was originally from Colorado, long distance from Seattle!

"Wendy Stephens was just 14 years old when she ran away from home in Colorado and a short time later, was murdered by one of the most infamous serial killers in Seattle, a city she had no ties to".

RIP Wendy. Poor little thing xx. But exactly why we should keep submitting out of state matches for cases.

 

[Mrs. Badcrumble]

Poor wee one, completely alone in the big city, laying her trust on the wrong person and finding herself alone with one of the worst serial killers in US history Kid never stood a chance.

Rest in peace now, Wendy ♡

 

[djanga]

It is such a heartbreaking moment when Detective Jensen started to cry, he truly cares about these girls, I am happy that although he is now retired, he can see her being identified. I was crying watching it.

So glad Wendy finally has her name back. Hope she's resting peacefully.

 

[Fede]

May Wendy rest in peace. Her murderer is in prison and will rot in there. And now her remains have her name. Maybe that gives some closure to her beloved ones

 

[Fede]

One question after this good results: Was Wendy on the NamUs of CharleyProject databases? I can not find her now but maybe she has already been removed

 

[Grungster]

SHE'S BEEN IDENTIFIED!!!

DNA Doe Project

 

[Grungster]

Oh, I didn't realize someone had already said this. RIP Wendy, may Gary Ridgway rot away for what he did to you.

 

[Eman317]

RIP Wendy. Judging by her picture she certainly looks way older than 14. No wonder Ridgeway thought she was in her 20s.
