Detectives need help identifying deceased woman

Summary- King County Sheriff’s detectives are asking for the public’s help identifying a woman whose skeletal remains were found last fall in a wooded area off of I-90 near North Bend. (C16060055)

Story- Detectives said a hiker found the remains on November 25[SUP]th[/SUP], 2016 and called police. The King County Medical Examiner has determined that the remains were likely left at the recovery site within the last 2-3 years.
[...and therefore not a Green River victim - ANZAC]

The remains are those of a mixed race (Caucasian/Black) female, between 20-40 years of age. She was missing an upper left front tooth that was likely absent for a significant amount of time before her death. The missing tooth would have displayed a noticeable gap in her front upper teeth.

The woman may have self identified as either race. Two sketches have been attached which may indicate what she looked like when she was alive.

If you recognize this woman or have any information that may help us identify her please call the King County Sheriff’s Office at 206-296-3311 or you can call Crime Stoppers and remain anonymous at 206-222-TIPS (8477)

Also if you have good candidates I'm happy to pre-screen them and pass on to our detectives.
I did a quick search in NamUs for OR/WA.

I will ask about height/weight, but sometimes there are not enough remains to determine.

Patricia Anne Osborn comes to mind, looking at the sketch, missing from Seattle, King County, WA since 1983. Would be 39/40 in 2013-14, Biracial, from Caucasian mother en African-American father. Story doesn't add up because she is a supposed victim of Green River Killer, although no evidence was found to confirm this and she stopped contacting her family already in 1983.

Why is this unidentified woman (still) not listed in Namus or The Doe Network?

No mention of a missing front tooth, but Kelsey Collins has been missing from Everett, WA en route to Seattle since 2009: http://charleyproject.org/case/kelsey-emily-collins. She is of multiracial heritage (white, african, and native). At the time of her disappearance she was 18 years old, 5'5"-5'7" tall, weighed between 155-165 lbs, and had brown hair and green eyes.

Good find theshadow45, considering all the circumstances, although I don't feel comfortable with the time line immediately, it would be worth to look into.

Danica Childs? Missing from Federal Way, WA since 2007 (17 at that time) She is mixed Caucasian/Black American, 5'3", 107 - 115 lbs (according to her facebookmissing page)

The story doesn't add up, she is from Porto Rico and Hispanic, and probably murdered there, but her left front tooth is missing at least since 2001 (the year she went missing) http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/3680dfpr.html

 

[Bit of hope]

Does somebody know if this woman is identified? I couldn't find her on the King County Government site under her case-number 16060055 anymore, and neither an update that she is been identified. She is (still?) not in Namus. What's going on?

 

[Bit of hope]

This woman is still not in Namus, not on the Kings County Sheriff's site anymore. I wonder if this woman is already identified. I couldn't find anything about that. Does somebody know?

I didn't see any article and the King County ME doesn't have her case listed on their website...

 

[Bit of hope]

Did anybody find new info on this Jane Doe?
@ANZAC any update. This thread turns out be a one woman show....featuring me.

I can't find any update and still not in Namus or other sites - I've emailed King County to ask if she was identified.

The King County ME Office responded that this UID was identified in Aug 2017 as Nicole Marie Keenen (03/24/1991). I'll forward the email to mod @MadMcGoo as confirmation, so this case can be moved to Identified.

This is the best photo of her I could find. c. 2005. I don't believe she was mixed race.

Thank you for forwarding the email to me. It appears she was identified back in 2017.

ETA: I've seen her name spelled Keenan and Keenen. I went with what I'm seeing on all the records I've found.

Probably just based on her skull parameters, not on DNA. While there are many „passe blanc“ mixed race people, I also dont think she is that category.
