Tammy Risenhoover
I spoke with Det. Loveall today re: the possibility of Tammy being a match.

She said she did not have DNA for Tammy; however she said she had obtained DNA from several familiy members and had sent it to the U of No. Texas Health Center for processing and entry into CODIS in June 2008.

She did not know what the status was today.

She was very appreciative of any help - said she had "many, many" cases to try to close.

What is my next step with this one?

Possible Matches
I have not heard back from det. Coffman (e-mail) re: a possible match for Princess Blue - maybe I should call? I am concerned re: following "protocol" - don't want to come off like a weird amateur, but want to move these possibles along...what should I do???

Ive done a side by side for you and I definitely think you are on to something here

Especially given the new stats.

And after all given that they did that sketch from a skeleton.....it may well not be perfect..

Good job I reckon this is a good possibility

Also, I found this case - it says Tammy was 26, but she was really only 20 in 1984 when she actually went missing...her familiy didn't report her missing until 1990.... if she was traveling with a motorcycle gang, she could have easily wound up in Houston....

I think the picture looks like Princess Blue - what do you all think? (Sorry, I don't know how to do the picture side-by-side thing - or even get the pic to post....)

Thank you Jane.

I just e-mailed Sgt Coffman at Manvel PD again - if I don't hear from him, I'll call.

Do you know if there is another angle to approach this from - since Det. Loveall in Tulsa has submitted DNA on Tammy and I think there is DNA available from Princess Blue - maybe there is something else we could be doing?

I agree. Tammy does look like a good possibility. Do you have the side by side you could post for us JaneInOz?

Hi Teons! Good to see you here. I've got my fingers crossed also. We need to get our "Princess Blue" identified.

The photos did not show up for me previously. I can see them now though. Thank you for taking the time to do the side by side for us. Tammy does look quite a bit like Princess Blue.

What great timing you have Jane!

I heard back this morning from Texas DPS that Tammy had been ruled out as a match by mitochondrial DNA.

I was bummed - I really had high hopes!!

Oh well, we'll keep trying!

OC Lady thank you looking into this :( What a TOTAL bummer



But
Yes one more ruled out

Back to the drawing board for PrincessBlue's identity
 
I am going through through threads for those who have been ruled out as being Princess Blue and giving them their own threads if they don't have them already.
