I'm still looking at missing cases on doenetwork and charleyproject, hoping to find a match eventually for a Jane Doe found nearby in 1988. In looking at the descriptions of many of the missing women, I've ruled them out based on certain things like eye color, height, or identifying marks ("our" Jane Doe is reported to have none).
I know this varies, but generally how closely should we go by descriptions of Does? In this particular case, her eye color is described as brown, but wouldn't that be subjective to interpretation (and dependent on how long she was exposed to the elements)? I would hate to think that I'd looked at a description of a missing woman and "ruled her out" because she had a surgical scar or tattoo and Jane Doe isn't noted as having one, or a missing woman is described as having hazel eyes and Jane Doe had brown eyes.
Thanks in advance
