I don't think Kimberley Kay Kersey is posted on websleuths. Her information:

http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/386dfwa.html

it seems like doe case

http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/22ufca.html

has a lot of similarities like age, height, hair color, time of disappearance/discovery.

Because of the reconstruction of the victim, I'm sure they wouldn't look exactly alike, including the hair. Also, if teeth were missing or chipped, I assume it could've happened around the time of her death.
 
If you haven't already submitted it you should, looks pretty good to me.
 
I just emailed the Doe Network and emailed another person from a website for Kimberley. I hope I hear back from someone soon.
 
The two females do look a lot alike. I hope that you hear something back.

Russell Francis Stenger was serving a life sentence for abducting, raping and murdering Cascade Park wife and mother Dail Lea Schroeder in 1987.

He died March 1 at Stafford Creek Corrections Center in Aberdeen.

The state Department of Corrections says Stenger died of natural causes.

Stenger was also on a short list of suspects in the 1987 disappearance of Kimberley Kersey...
 
Missing 26 years today.


Search never ends after a child goes missing

More than 25 years has passed since 18-year-old Kimberley Kersey vanished on her way home from school.

And even though her father, Ed, knows it isn't likely he'll ever see Kimberley alive again, he isn't willing to let go of that remaining sliver of hope.

I ended up submitting this match to LE myself, who had a look and have just replied saying it was not a match. She is now listed as a rule-out.
 
New age-progression for Kimberly, to age 44. She turned 45 this past December.

New article referencing Kimberley and tells of a detective, Lindsay Schultz, who is part of the newly formed cold case division and has never forgot about this case..

A number of other cold cases from the area are also listed.

" Forming the team

Though the idea to form a cold case unit is one that floated around the sheriff's office for years, the most recent efforts were headed by Lindsay Schultz.

A major crimes detective from 2009 to 2013, Schultz remembers the day she stumbled upon the case files for Kimberly Kersey. The name is one she never forgot. Schultz was 7 years old when she saw the picture of the blond-haired teen on a missing poster outside a 7-Eleven.

"My dad told me someone kidnapped her," she said. "I always wondered what happened."

Kersey was 18 when she went missing in 1987. She had left Mountain View High School to walk home but was never seen again. Her school books were found on a path she routinely walked near her parent's apartment.

Schultz started looking into her case and the other unsolved cases with leads that had gone cold. Soon, Schultz was carving out time on Fridays to investigate these old crimes.

"I couldn't put the cases down … I have a heart for it," she said. "I started going through them, and I saw a need."


She knew her sporadic free time wouldn't solve the cases. Schultz and Major Crimes Sgt. Kevin Allais met with members from the Portland Police Bureau Cold Case Unit to see how Clark County could put something similar together. After sending out letters to retired investigators, drafting general orders and getting everything approved through the administration and sheriff's office guilds, the cold case unit was formed."

"Authorities have two main suspects in Kersey's disappearance: Russell Francis Stenger, who is currently serving a life sentence for the murder of a woman who disappeared while on a walk not far from where Kersey was last seen, and an unidentified man who used to live two blocks from Kersey's home and who has a record for child molestation. The man has since left the state."
 
Vanished in Vancouver: The Kimberly Kersey case

Kimberly Kersey, an 18-year-old senior months away from graduating, typically left her locker and walked about 2 miles to her home at the Landover Apartments.

No one has seen her since that day more than 31 years ago.

"I just think she came through the woods at the wrong time," her dad, Ed Kersey, recently told KOIN 6 News. "I think it was as simple as that. Somebody was in the woods and grabbed her and they took off. I say 'they.' I assume there were two."

Ed said family and friends looked "out towards Vancouver Lake, just different places. Not knowing anything and we would look."

Over the years things in the area have changed quite a bit and he hoped that when developers cleared some areas they might find some trace of Kim. But there's been no sign.
