I can see the possibility between the two, and although I don't ever like to say no because of the distance between the two. Robin went missing from Los Angeles CA and the Jane Doe was found in Jonestown PA - 2,664 miles between Los Angeles and Jonestown - across the US.

Personally, I think it could be a possibility since the physical descriptions of both seem to match. Also, Robin disappeared 3 years before the discovery of the Jane Doe, so she could have gone to Pennsylvania during that period of time.

Wonder if Mary Fiano could be a match. She was last seen in WV, but Pennsylvania police are investigating? Seems like she may have gone to PA?

PSP Trooper Nathan Trate is the contact for both UID and Mary. IMO, however he got Mary's info, he's already looking into this - or already has. I'd bet it was he who entered Mary into NamUs.

Same sort of thing with Rosemarie Roginski. Misssing from Ambridge - clear across the state but contact is Nathan Trate.

Good thing they're adding exclusions. Sandra was actually one the cases I looked into regarding this Doe.

Even if this has been looked into, we'll never know unless someone submits it, so I will. I think they look very similar.

Yes, please submit it.

The PSP contact is the same trooper for both Mary and the UID.

I submitted to Doe Network, and even if it's the same trooper, I really can't trust LE with all my heart, as I've seen them miss likely matches in the past.

Also, if this has been looked into, then why isn't Mary on the rule-out list?

Last I knew, if it's an automatic comparison through CODIS, and it's not a match, then it won't appear on the rule out list. So if each has DNA profiles in the system, and they don't match, they won't appear on rule out lists. Only manual comparisons are listed, like fingerprints or dental records. I think there are rare exceptions, like when they get inundated with the same potential matches.
The NamUs rep said they didn't put auto rule outs on the rule out list because of the sheer volume of cases that are compared. They'd never be able to update every case with every rule out by default.
Of course, this may have changed or may change, as I don't think UNT is working NamUs anymore.
