Bump for Candace

No luck with: newspapers.com, newspaperarchive, genealogybank, or even plain Ancestry beyond what we already have above.

If there wasn’t a 4 year time gap and an estimated 6” height difference, I would consider suggesting Oak Ridge, TN unidentified female as a possibility for Candace.

It was reported previously there may have been a sighting of Candace in Florida at some point after her disappearance but not finding any real details of this account.

Height can be wildly off with skeletal remains. Not sure if these are.
I believe the dates are estimated in her case. It was reported well after her going missing. It’s similar enough you could try submitting it. Can you link this doe?

I believe she must have been somewhat skeletal as weight could not be estimated, eye color is unknown and height is only an estimation. PMI is estimated for the same year she was found so possibly 2 months max, not sure. Look at the other 2 recons. Check out her link below and let me know what you think. Her WS thread is Knoxville Lady in the Lake. (Oak Ridge, TN) UP2895.

She looks a lot like her, but given she was decomposing and not skeletal, the doe’s height is likely not that far off.

The age could be explained as hard to determine based on a decomposing body being unrecognizable as to age. Hair color matches.

But no scoliosis mentioned with Candace, which the doe has. My gut says no.

But for completeness sake you could email the owner of the case at Knox county forensic center at [email protected] -ask it to be forwarded to Megan Sharpe, Medicolegal Death Investigator

If nothing else it might get movement on either case.
