Did anyone ever rule her out for Eklutna Annie?

Their faces look rather similar, and Kathleen is rumoured to have led a transient lifestyle at that time. It wasn’t uncommon in the late 70s for more free-spirited individuals in the Pacific Northwest to hitchhike up to Alaska to eke out a fresh start & independent lifestyle.

Does anyone know about Kathleen’s lifestyle, such as was she a smoker? Did she party often or engage in sex rather casually? Since EA was thought to be a smoker & possibly a sex worker.

The only detail (so far since we have so few concrete ones about them both) that might run counter is that Kathleen was about 5’10”; whereas, EA was estimated to be about 5’4”. That said, basing height on only EA’s skeletal remains could be a few inches off.

Anyway, it’d be nice to rule her out or rule her in as a possible match to EA.

Have Kathleen's family submitted familial DNA to check/exclude against ?
