What kind of cyst, I wonder? Ovarian?

Skully · Jan 10, 2016

could be a breast cyst too.

Seriously, why mention the surgery for the cyst if you're not even going to say where the cyst was removed? I mean, isn't that kind of important information?

SweetCaroline · Jan 10, 2016

Also, the three sketches all look like different people.

Yeah, or an oral cyst (Mr. Carbuff had one of those), or a sebaceous cyst, or a lung or liver cyst, or a ganglion cyst (in the wrist).

Ginger Hudson has a scar inside her lower lip which could be from removal of an oral cyst: http://doenetwork.org/cases/1161dfks.html She's got a pretty fair facial resemblance and would have been 38 at the UID's time of death, but nothing else is particularly close.

Rock City t-shirt makes me think of the old "see rock city" which was located near Chattanooga TN I believe. It is also the nickname for Detroit. She may be from one of those 2 areas.

Can't help it, didn't your high school band play See Rock City (from Seven States) ??????

Mary Kushto missing May 29, 1998 from Osceola County. Right height, weight, hair, eyes, and she has a nonspecific scar on her shoulder. Could have been a ganglion cyst. She's not on the rule out either. Not sure where she would have been for months though. http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/3214dffl.html

I'm trying to make out the design on the shirt and not having much luck. I have a general impression there's a motorcycle facing us head on, and possibly a wing design? And it looks like it says LA in the ribbon underneath.

There's an LA Rock City news "L.A.'s local rock newspaper since 1983" Does it look like a globe in the background on the shirt?

If you blow it up, it looks to say "News" underneath "Rock City." Good find!

carbuff · Jan 12, 2016

Wow, yeah, that does look like a good find! According to their website they've been around since 1988 under that name, so they're old enough.

Their logo is a globe, as Sleuthster said, and that could be a globe in the background. Still can't make out the rest of the stuff though.

I think it makes it possible (likely?) she was from the Los Angeles area.

Investigators
If you have any information concerning this case, please contact:Los Angeles Police Department

Sleuthster · Jan 13, 2016

It is interesting that she (and other followers) are noted as disappearing after the death of Carlos Castaneda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Castaneda and she is listed as missing April 1, 1998 but he died according to Wiki April 27, 1998 so the date she went missing may be off.

Another pic of her in this article.http://pvtimes.com/news/missing-ama...98-disappearance-california-cult-members.html

Sleuthster · Jan 13, 2016

She is still a possibility BUT I may have found her alive and still running Cleargreen under another name in LA. So put her on the back of the list of possibilities.

carbuff · Jan 13, 2016

I found Charlene Barrios http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/1153dfca.html

Charlene was 26 when she was reported missing in 1988, the first year the Rock City News existed under that name, so she would have been 36 in 1998, in range. At 5'9" she's a little taller. Weight doesn't match but ten years is plenty to have gained a lot of weight.

The thing that really caught my eye was the circumstances:
"In August of 1990 the mother of Charlene reported that she was missing. She said that she [presumably the mother] last spoke to Charlene in September or October 1988, when Charlene mentioned she was in Florida.
All efforts are being made to locate Charlene and the case is actively being worked by authorities."
