Case History
The victim was found along the roadside of I-8, south of the eastbound lane. The desert area is in the vicinity of
Standfield, Arizona.


My first thought was Diana Lynn Miller based on the circumstances of her disappearence.

However I'm not sure if the decomp was enough to erase any tattoos she had as none are listed on either UID link.

Namus case manager Dr. Bruce Anderson replied to my inquiry about Diana:


Thanks for using NamUs Sam. I have contacted the police department in Emporium Borough and have requested that they send me dental records for Diana or that they have another forensic scientist compare Diana’s dental records to our Jane Doe case in NamUs. I’ll let you know what the results are.

I emailed Dr. Anderson for an update regarding Diana Lynn Miller's dental information (for comparison to the UID) and received the following reply.

"Hi Sam. I’m still waiting. I will call them again by Friday if I don’t hear anything. BEA"
 
I checked the Namus page and no one is listed as being ruled out.

I take it you did not hear back Masnitram?

Masnitram, do we have any other women who have been ruled out? You are doing such a great job, and appreciate everything you do!
 
Thank you PhiercePhi, the only other rule-out listed is Patricia Schmidt.

rcoope23- I have looked at Paget before based on her known association with biker gangs. I'll have to get back to you about why I didn't submit her info along with Diana's...there was a reason but I'll have to reread my file.The other two aren't impossible, but their circumstances don't sit well with me.

Nice that they added a sketch this past March too :)

https://identifyus.org/en/medias/full/19960

I had a thought recently about this case. Notice she was decked out in a ton of Harley gear. Did his/her bike breakdown? He walks to get gas and ditches her? There was no he? Was it her bike and she broke down? Decides to walk for gas....dies from exposure? Did she upset him and he ditched her? Abandoned Harley? They would have put two and two together by now right? Probable cause for the death is what I'd really like to know. Just because she was decked out in Harley-Gear doesn't mean she may have been riding at all. She is in the desert, that area in particular is very remote....even today.
 
I sent an email to Bruce Anderson about Leah. Nice find! Both the UID and Leah claim to have DNA samples " Sample submitted - Tests complete" in NAMUS. I'll let you know if/when I get a response :)
 
Ok.Thank you. I am wondering what type of DNA is on file for them. If they both do not have MTdna on them or different types of DNA on profile for them it might not show up a match. They might have to manually check them both. I am interested in knowing if they have MTdna on their Jane Doe because I am trying to check some one else with this Jane Doe also.

Totally understand. I will try and find out for you :websleuther:
 
Regarding Leah Jean Van Schoick, I got a reply from Bruce Anderson-

"Thanks for using NamUs. A DNA comparison has been requested. I will be back in touch."

Ms Suzanne- I did inquire about the DNA on file for this Jane, I'll be sure to let you know.

Paget has not been seen or heard from since. She left her two daughters and never picked up her welfare check.

I sent an email looking for an update on Leah (DNA comparison) and also did ask him about Paget. Living in Arizona for the past three years and knowing, now, where this woman was found exactly made me seriously reconsider my initial objection.
 
They, rather quickly, have ruled out Paget Barr based on dentals.

In the reply I was also told that Leah and the DNA comparison (and all DNA comparisons in this case) is up to NAMUS...

Here is an updated rule-out list.


Paget Barr 1956 California
Julie Grubaugh 1961 Arizona
Rochelle Ihm 1966 Arizona
Hazel Klug 1962 Virginia
Tammy Leppert 1965 Florida
Diana Miller 1962 Pennsylvania
Connie Minchaca 1960 California
Kristina Perkins 1953 Arizona
Patricia Schmidt 1964 Virginia
 
Hi, I see Paget got ruled out. I noticed that Tammy Fields may have been in Pine Bluff/Benton or Arizona. She was last seen wearing a leather jacket. She is said to have went missing Jan 12th but there might have been a confusion of dates. Similarity in their clothing and the fact she is stated to might have been Arizona leads me to suggest her.
