UP6279 was identified also. It appears the rule outs stay on the list even if identified after being excluded. I have noticed this with other cases as well.

Yes I have noticed that as well

I have been posting in the Midtown Jane Doe thread as well. There are some very, very similar facial structures/dentals with Diane. I photoshopped an overlay using most recent composite.

 

[Lex141]

I have submitted this info as a possible match

Today is National DNA day, bumping for Diane who I truly believe is not a Forrest victim, but simply fell through the cracks….

It appears that both Diane and Midtown Jane Doe Namus pages were modified today. Hopefully this means we will have some answers soon.

Looking for some input on this potential match. Diane was originally suggested as a match for this Jane Doe years ago and this line of thinking has reemerged on Reddit. Although the timeline of Forrest's suspected victims makes Diane a likely victim of his, I still wonder if the "rough childhood" alluded to by her friend in 2014 was true and she was trying to run away. Hoping this can at least bump her case.
