Here's a closeup of the tail section and artist's name on the Etsy backpack. *(Please excuse the pinkish tones. I have a program on my laptop that 'pinks out' the laptop's hues as the night gets later. Supposed to keep me from staying awake all night, lol.)

 
Equestrianista,
You have found a piece of this puzzle that has eluded investigators for 23 years!!!

To everyone,
My partner and I can't thank you enough for your countless hours of hard work with this!
Thank you so much!!!
 
OK, so the plan for now, if you all are on board, is to continue looking for similar missing persons to add to our alpha list. As the list grows, it shrinks as well with rule outs. I'll post the smaller list hopefully soon so you all can digest it. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for posting mmarty! I can now also include info on dental and dna exactly how you would like it. Would you like exact age with the year missing in a shortened format? (ie:28/77 = age 28 in 1977)

I (We) can give you exact ages at time of missing, continue to post the age if death were to occur in 1991 and indicate by "ish", or both. Whatever works best for LEO.

Age at time went missing works best for us. Also the case number, like with Doe Network stuff is usually a number next to or underneath and agency name, NCIC numbers are usually a letter then nine numbers.

PLEASE, DO NOT CONTACT ANYONE IN REGARDS TO THIS CASE! LET THE DETECTIVES DO THE WORK. ​

This is the main reason why law enforcement people look down on us. Because they claim we interfere with their work. We hinder their work. We make more work for them.

We have a rare opportunity to show we can work hand in hand with law enforcement when it comes to cold cases.

Do not create more work by contacting people who may have information needed for the case. LET THE DETECTIVES DO THE CONTACTING.

In fact that's my new motto, my mantra if you will, LET THE DETECTIVES DO THE CONTACTING
Click to expand...

All,

We greatly appreciate your help on this case. It has helped us more than you will ever know. That being said, please, if you have a lead or a tip and think it needs checking or vetting, forward it to either LCSODETECTIVES or MMARTY and my partner and I will take care of it. I am posting this because this is something very important. All of this information is public. The killer, for all we know, could be reading this forum as we post. My partner and I are trained professionals who take the risk that comes along with this job. We can not authorize any of you to "take police action" on our behalf, nor do we condone that. Much like we can not share all of the information with you, there are reasons we must be the ones to contact people in this case. Web searches are fine, talking to experts is fine, but contacting victims, witnesses, people of interest or otherwise are not actions that we can condone.

Thank you all again for your help in this and understanding. Don't stop the good work of research you all are doing. Stay the course. We will solve this case.

I am pretty sure we ruled out Thomas Blake based on DNA, need to go back through my notes (I thought I posted him as a rule out on here). My partner and I have been both working other cases, as well as this one, and haven't been on here in a few days. Keep the theories coming. We appreciate all of your hard work.
 
mmarty, the last I saw (#1804) he was still in the list as having no DNA/dental on file, so we figured it all was pending. But hoping to hear definitively!
 
 
This one is a real long shot from Canada:
