Case History

At initial glance, the dates don't match up with Dawn Ann Solensky's case, but I found three different LKA dates plus she was reported missing 2.5 years after her LKA so I am discounting the dates a bit.

LKA
Case History
* She has (per various profiles) brown/blonde, brown, light brown or blonde hair & blue/dark blue eyes, like the UID.
* Her age, 36 years old, is the lower end of NamUs' estimate.
* Her height is lower (although within NamUs' range) and weight higher than the estimates.
* She reportedly led a transient lifestyle and was involved with drugs and alcohol. The UID appeared homeless and possibly died of acute alcohol intoxication.
* She was last seen before Mother's Day 1996 - and by most reports, heard from two days before the holiday although LKAs vary. However, she was reported missing more than 2.5 years after the generally reported LKA. The UID was found a little over a month prior to Mother's Day 1996.
* Ft. Lauderdale is around 4 hours and 250 to 275 miles from Wesley Chapel. I found online references indicating a person with the same name had a prior address history in Ft. Pierce. Ft. Pierce is around 100 miles from Ft. Lauderdale and on the same coast (East). If this is the same person, this could make a trip between Wesley Chapel (Florida's West Coast) and Ft. Lauderdale (Florida's East Coast) more likely.
* Fingerprint information is available for both.

I decided not to let the 3 to 5 weeks difference (depending on which LKA date you reference) between the UID's discovery date and Dawn Solensky's reported LKA stop me from submitting her for comparison. I sent the Pasco Sheriff's Office the UID's profile via their case contact form since both profiles have fingerprints available for comparison.

Dawn Solensky is now listed among the rule-outs on NamUs:

Exclusions
The following people have been ruled out as being this decedent:
First Name Last Name Year of Birth State LKA
POLLY MICLEAN 1960 Florida
Parley Pate 1959 North Carolina
Tiffany Sessions 1968 Florida
Dawn Solensky 1959 Florida
Dawn Solensky 1959 Florida
Karen Wells 1970 Pennsylvania
Raechelle Wilson 1970 Kansas

For someone LE assumed was homeless this UID sure was wearing quite a bit of jewelery - Seiko watch, gold necklace and bracelet and gold hoop earrings

I'm very much thinking of submitting Maryanne Ruffini.

It is unlikely as there is no mention of dentures or a c section in Maryanne's profile, but I see so much resemblance to the sketch...
