She's in Namus but her casefile isn't published.

I would assume that due to the passage of time (it's been at least 6 months) she would have been published by now.

So according to a poster from the Wyoming DCI, Sheridan Jane Doe was a mother.

<modsnip: broken link>

Does it say this anywhere else? I didn't see anything else about it anywhere. I feel like this is something we should know?

Happy Mother's Day, Sheridan Jane Doe. Hopefully the child you left in this world will know where you are soon, when you finally get your name back.

I was wondering, being new to websleuths, what is the probability of the Sheridan Jane Doe being a runaway that was unreported? Reason I ask is that there were 7 runaways from a girls home in Helena Montana in Nov of 1991 and maybe they were all accounted for at some point but I couldn't find a follow up in the newspapers.

There is a very high probability. Lots of unidentified later identified had no official missing person case (either from lack of report or lost report or police not taking a report, etc) such as Marcia King was Buckskin Girl and Tammy Jo Alexander (aaaaand I forgot what her Doe name was now... uugh)

ETA: Caledonia or Cali Doe was TJA!!

Could She be Gina L Clark Missing since Dec. 1991 MO. 1040DFMO - Gina L. Clark

Or maybe Donna Mezo missing since Feb 1992. Cannot find a picture with her teeth showing. 638DFIL - Donna Jean Mezo

Did anyone ever submit Donna Mezo? She was pregnant when she went missing, the height and weight match up pretty well. Only there are not tattoos listed for the Sheridan UID.

 

[iamnotagolem]

I can't seem to find the list of rule outs anywhere....

Has Kimberly Kay Allen been submitted? She went missing from Big Piney WY June 1991, height & weight match but she was 33 y/o.

Unidentified Person Case

Kimberley Amero (Canadian), Amy Gibson, Virginia Uden are the ruleouts. I don't see Kimberley Allen listed.

She was a skeleton or badly decomposed, so probably wouldn't be able to tell if she had tattoos.

Tried to call in to the Wyoming DCI today to ask about DNA Doe and provide some suggestions from Facebook commenters (such as Jennifer Pentilla and Cheryl Kenney - I doubt either are them but it’s better to try). However nobody answered - went to voicemail twice - and they only use voicemail for emergencies I guess.

I so wish there was an email address we could reach out to.

ETA: Wait, there is, kinda. Hopefully I’ll be redirected.

Got in contact with Loy Young! I ended up submitting everyone who's been suggested on here and the Facebook page thus far, directly to him. Even if they didn't exactly make sense - as long as I could find a link to them, I submitted them, so that I didn't have to bombard the poor guy with emails. I also asked for clarification on what I could and could not repeat back here. So here's hoping?

Thank you for submitting names! You are awesome, this case seems like it should be so solvable.

Another year has come and gone. I had hoped that the ball would've gotten rolling by now in regards to more leads, but unfortunately, it seems pretty stagnant. We got some activity on Facebook, though.

I'm aware that this is a long, long shot, but Martha Lambert's age progression from NCMEC reminded me of Carl's reconstruction of Sheridan Doe. National Center for Missing & Exploited Children

Martha Lambert's age progression (above)

Sheridan Doe (above)

=============================

Of course, age progressions aren't perfect, but I thought the resemblance was pretty striking. It seems that people are split on what could have happened to Martha; some people believe she was killed by her brother (investigators believe this, but Martha and David's mother does not), some people believe she ran away to escape her family life, some people believe she met with foul play not far from home, etc. Perhaps she did run away for an extended period of time and met with foul play in Wyoming. There is about a 6-year gap between when Martha went missing and when Sheridan Doe was discovered. Again, it is a long shot, but I felt it could be worth sharing.

Martha has a striking resemblance to Sheridan’s Jane Doe, was she ever submitted?

I checked the LE rule-out list that was posted on the Sheridan Doe Facebook page, which is definitely much more comprehensive than the NamUs list (thank you rats for making this full rule-out list public, makes it much easier to look at possible matches!), and, as far as I know, Martha Lambert was never ruled out by LE. I'm considering submitting her to NamUs or LE.

Oops, I just realized carbuff posted right before me, seems the list has been expanded a lot! I can't access my NamUs account because I messed up my password too many times though, lol.

And also, I forgot to add the links to Martha Lambert's missing person pages, apologies. Here are the links:
Martha Jean Lambert – The Charley Project
3952DFFL- Martha Jean Lambert
The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

The hair color is a discrepancy, though.

 

[Feme98]

Martha’s case is odd though, her brother “confessed” to killing her but her body hasn’t been found, maybe he lied about it.

I can submit this. Martha has DNA in the system and I’ve been working on her case for a long while. I’m in contact with a Carrie Sutherland who is the regional NamUs contact for her case. I can send her this and see what she can do.

Is Sheridan County Jane Doe's DNA on the system too?

 

[Mysteries1974]

I’m unsure but I sent an email to both regional specialists about this and have not received a response. Carrie is out of office according to her email and Jessica Hager has not responded at all
