18 years later?

Yeah I wonder if that's truly accurate. It's possible that she was reported missing back in 1977 but the report could have been lost or LE may have not accepted the report for whatever reason.

The Whistler · Jun 13, 2015

yes you could be right on one of those. It's hard to believe if for no other reason than if you waited 18 years what would make you suddenly decide to report it? Why then? And how does one walk into a police station or even call in the phone and say "I would like to report a missing person who disappeared 18 years ago"?!

Sent Carrie Sutherland an email to see if she has been entered in NamUs. Her entry on the Sheriff's web site

The Whistler · Jun 15, 2015

the whole 18 year thing makes one think this was either a really dysfunctional family or something really strange going on

Roselvr · Jun 16, 2015

She will be NamUs MP # 29117 (Non working URL till profile goes online)

Times were different in 1977; LE used to refuse MP reports. We can't judge until we hear what happened from family

A mother and a daughter both reported missing two years apart? I wonder what they suspect happened to them.

Roselvr · Jun 17, 2015

Really hate when it posts twice while I'm on my cell

Good question. It was not shared with me but they think it's related.

Reading this gave me a huge instant headache. Reported missing 18 years later? Her mother went missing 2 years after her daughter? ....what?!

honesty · Jun 17, 2015

The way I'm reading it is the mother went missing two years before the daughter not after

gerneveyn · Jun 17, 2015

Yes, the mother disappeared in '75 and the daughter in '77.

Wow. Several different aliases for the mom. She was a fairly oung mother. Daughter must have known too much regarding her mother's disappearance...

The b&w photo above puts me in mind of one of the Alcala UIDs. Can't remember which one, but will look around. But maybe he was in prison during this time? Please pardon my ignorance, I am not terribly familiar with the details of that case.

I think one is maiden, one married with the last one an alias.

I'm not familiar with the Alcala case. If someone reading is, feel free to link Kim there

I put Kim as Buckskin Jane Doe on the other thread. Let me know what you all think.

It's going to take time for Kim's NamUs profile to go online as she is a minor; NCMEC has it. I assume it could be 2-3 months like Tammy Jo Alexander's...

sam spade · Jun 25, 2015

BTW: As we do not get this "opportunity" very often, I pulled up the mom's profile and put her face next to Buckskin Jane doe. I see a resemblance.
