I might have missed it above, and it would be at the extreme end of the estimated death period, but has Frances Clark been compared to this UID? The photos on Namus are so poor quality that it's hard to even tell if there is a resemblance.

I was able to find a yearbook photo of Frances awhile back and posted it on this thread. The reconstruction does resemble her photo IMO. Is it me or does she also appear to have a crooked nose??

This article gives a little more detail about her disappearance. She was last seen at Durand Eastman Park which is around 10 miles from Brighton.

@MadMcGoo: thanks for all of the above. I've gone ahead and submitted this for evaluation at the Doe Network and I'll see if that gets anywhere. Were dentals and/or DNA available for both the MP and UID?
No problem! Thanks for taking the time to submit. :)

The UID’s Doe Net profile says her dentals are available and DNA is not. I’m not sure about Frances since she doesn’t have a Doe Net profile.
