Estimated age is off a little, but couldn't help but notice the hair pulled back. Height and weight are good. This young woman went missing two years before UID found. Possible??

Susie, I think that's a pretty good match you found. Hopefully you've already submitted your find.

I did submit the young woman as a possible. Hopefully, they will let me know one way or the other.

Respectfully,
dark_shadows

Thank you Dark Shadows for bumping this. I'm sorry, but I have not heard anything from the contacts. My Dad passed away on New Year's Eve. He and my mother were married for 54 years, so I have been spending all my spare time with her. She is so lost. I will try to re-contact next week and see if there is anything new.
Sugie

My dearest Sugie,:blowkiss:
I am so very sorry that I missed your post from months ago. I am so very sorry for your loss. Please forgive me for not being on this thread in so many months.
I called a reporter recently about this case and another case. She returned my phone call, but it was a voice message, I missed her call. I called back last week and left another message and then called again and she was out of the office. I am going to try again on monday and I hope that I can speak to her on the phone. I will post here when I am able to speak to her.

So much Love and Respect,
dark_shadows

The UID Namus link

there are no details listed on the thread.

the UID was a black female, estimated to be between 16-20 y.o., 5'7" and 125 lbs.

no DNA, no fingerprints so we are left with dentals. according to the dental section "Teeth 8 AND 9 PR0TRUDE ANTERI0RLY". would that make her buck toothed?

Cranbury, NJ has a population of almost 4000. Strange she ended up there?

There are a few more photos on namus. One with the ring on the victims hand. She's a lightskinned black female.

Would love to see DNA DOE doing her. Don't think she's on doenetwork either.

How did she die? when she was found she wasn't dead for long.

She is off by a couple of inches but went about 2 weeks before this girl was found.

@othram


No pm but there is alot of clues aswell as a photo of her hands with rings. I think this one is solvable.

Bumping for her, let her be identified. I think this is an very interesting case that needs more publicity.
