She has both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA.

NamUs states that Tammy Akers, Eva DeBruhl, and Angela Rader have been ruled out. There had been a lot of rumors that this young woman was Eva DeBruhl, but now they know conclusively this is not the case.

Mary Frances Gregory
Missing since February 15, 1978 from Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada.
Classification: Endangered Missing

Vital Statistics

Date Of Birth: May 27, 1958
Age at Time of Disappearance: 19 years old
Height and Weight at Time of Disappearance: 5'3; 111 lbs.
Distinguishing Characteristics: White female. Dark blonde hair; hazel eyes. Gregory has a medium build and a fair complexion.

Circumstances of Disappearance
Gregory was last seen leaving her home in Parry Sound, Ontario on February 15, 1978. She was headed to Palo Alto, California for a vacation at the time.

It is believed that Gregory departed Ontario by car with a male acquaintance.
The man claimed that he drove through Pennsylvania; New York; Ohio; Illinois; Colorado; Utah; Arizona; and Nevada during the trip. He informed authorities that he dropped Gregory off at a bus station in Las Vegas, Nevada approximately ten days after leaving Ontario (February 28, 1978). Gregory never arrived in California and has not been heard from since.

Gregory was carrying luggage at the time of her disappearance; the bags have never been recovered. Foul play is suspected.

I had not seen this before, I had been wishing for a long time that someone would do a recon of the 1978 Lumberton Jane Doe.

She does have the same high vertical forehead as Mary Gregory

Just my own wacky theory, but I've always tended to look for Mary in Indiana, Kansas and Missouri. When they list the states her companion claims he drove through, he lists NY, PA, OH, then goes to IL (you would have to go through Indiana to get there), then goes from IL to Colorado (he would have had to go through probably Missouri and Kansas to get there). I just always felt like it might be some kind of almost Freudian slip to leave out the names of places he wouldn't want people looking into.

Is there a dental chart available for Ms. Gregory? The UID has both 4s (1st premolars) extracted which is common in orthodontics to relieve crowding and the UID is clearly no stranger to a dentist in general. It says "corrected by braces" but I think it would really make or brake the match if we knew about any orthodontic extractions.

Quick question. On Missing persons does "Sample Submitted - Tests complete" Mean that the DNA is in CODIS?

This girl, Linette Marie Miller has been discussed on the Caledonia Jane Doe thread.

Linette is not listed on any of the missing persons sites.

I'm 100% certain that she is not Cali. But she seems to be a reasonable possible for this Lumberton NC Jane Doe:



Linette was last seen sometime around early 1978. She was hitchhiking to Idaho from the East Coast and was known to catch rides from truck drivers. Her sister says that she was about 5'1" when she was 16, and may have grown an inch or two thereafter. Her DOB is 30-Aug-1961, so she would have been about 16 at the time of her disappearance.

What about making a post for her sister?
