Eatonville Jane Doe has been unidentified for 44 years today.

 

[John/Jane Doe]

Could someone post the NamUs Pierce County Jane Doe exclusion list? I don't live in the US so I can't see the exclusion list.

There aren't any exclusions listed on NamUs for this UID.

 

[HmmMysterious]

Cremating unidentified remains was such a dumb idea, who even came up with that one? This girl reminds me of Finley Creek Jane Doe who also might never be identified because she was cremated too.

 

[John/Jane Doe]

I think April Zane could be a possible match:

1404DFIL - April Rose Zane

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

April Rose Zane – The Charley Project

The physical characteristics appear to match and she disappeared in Illinois but it is also known that she had a history of running away.

Shes on the rule out list

Shes on the rule out list

Was it excluded? Sorry but I can't see the NamUs exclusion list since I don't live in the US.

Yes that means April Zane was excluded. In fact, she's the only exclusion

It's good that you were able to rule out April, I was looking for another possible match but I would like to know if you think it could match or not:

94DFAZ - Cynthia Ardina Leslie

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Cynthia Ardina Leslie – The Charley Project

The Physical Description seems to match quite well.

Out of curiosity, Jane Doe's hair is described to be brown with streaks of blonde.

In the following photograph you can see that Cynthia's hair is light brown (Light brown usually has blonde hair).

 

[John/Jane Doe]

Cheryl Schille Wyant could be a possible match:

This case frustrates me so often. If DNA were available, she'd have a name... Who even destroys remains? That was once a poor woman/girl who suffered at the hands of a coward.

"Edmunds said short red hair still was attached to the skull." - looks like brown/red/blonde MP's should be considered

"The skull had apparently been decomposing for more then a year."

31 August 1978, The News Tribune, pg 55

2 Sept 1978, The News Tribune, pg 2

"The remains of what is believed to have been a woman between the ages of 13 and 21."

"Authorities still are not certain that the bones and clothing belong together, since the entire search area has been used illegally as a refuse-dumping area."

Wonder if the reconstruction that this article was talking about ever was made. And I wonder if her teeth were destroyed.

Thank you for posting the articles. It’s good to read the original reporting in the newspaper. There always seems to be a bit of a difference in details.

NamUs states the hair description as “Long brownish hair, 13-17" long, with blondish strands”

The first newspaper clipping above states “short red hair was still attached to the skull”

These two descriptions couldn’t be more different so wonder which one is accurate.

I'm hoping the Namus description is correct but with the original case files and the remains being lost, it's quite hard to say. I tried to look for any more information or the reconstruction, but from what I can tell nothing else was published. I'll have to take a closer look when I have more free time though.

@SimsGuy67 could you make a comparative table with Kimberly Ann Stewart and Jane Doe? I would greatly appreciate it.

Happy that this one can be compared as Kimberly has dentals available. Hope that Kimberly's/Jane Doe's dentals are unique enough to rule it out or in.
