why would anyone bleach pubic hair if they don't their head hair? is if possible she was trying to use a backwoods cure for a sexually transmitted disease?

It is an aesthetics thing. My first thought was she may have been working as a prostitute and wanted her nether regions to appear presentable, along with the lacy underwear. Perhaps her pubic hair was naturally very dark and coarse and she wanted it to look more appealing, who knows.

Yes like Danaya said, sometimes people don't want the carpet to match the drapes!

Rest in peace Wayandotte unknown.)

The Kansas City, Kansas Police Department hopes a new look at a decades-old case will help solve it.

The department released a new facial reconstruction of the victim Thursday afternoon.

The victim was likely between the ages of 20 and 25 when she died. It’s believed she had dark brown hair. Forensic anthropologists studied the bone structure of the victim’s face. They determined she was white or possibly mixed race with Native American, Asian, or Hispanic ancestry.

Her remains were found in a wooded area near Glenrose and Woodend Lanes in the Argentine area on April 26, 1984.

The coroner at the time estimated she died about six months before anyone found her.

Based on that information, police believe the woman disappeared between the fall of 1983 and spring of 1984.

“The first step in solving any homicide is identifying the victim,” Detective Jeffrey Irwin, KCKPD Cold Case Unit, said. “In 1984 the few leads detectives received, even after distributing the reconstruction to law enforcement agencies, lead nowhere. Whether it was fear of retribution from the killer or the possibility she was killed in another state and then dumped here; we do not know.

Detectives said the victim would now be in her late 50s to mid-60s. Due to the age she was when she disappeared, investigators believe there is someone still alive who knew her and can recognize her.

Perhaps she wanted to minimize the darker color while wearing a bathing suit, etc.

As you say, the Nose doesn't seem to match but everything else does match, and I even dare to say that Tammy and Jane Doe's teeth look a bit similar (from my point of view, I don't know what others think).

I also noted a resemblance in the teeth but didn't want to say it as I have had no experience of identifying similar teeth through photos. Others might be better at it though.

If I were to submit Tammy as a potential match, should I do it through Doe Network or should I email the one listed in the article on post #10?
