Match! NY - Caledonia, WhtFem 1UFNY, 13-19, Turquoise Necklace, Nov'79 *Tammy Alexander*

Myrna

She had dental work, and according to some sources, Cali had dental work by someone trained outside of the US. Do we want to put something together?

WOW, Myrna Montgrand certainly look like our Cali. Was she ever submitted?

It says Myrna had dental work, but it did not describe. Cali had no dental work and her teeth were in bad shape. Still, Myrna would be worth submitting to the professionals.

"Dental work" could merely imply she had been to the dentist. I wonder if dental care is free in Canada. As one of the youngest of 14 children, that is a lot of kids to take to the dentist. Another thought is maybe she had a filling in a baby tooth??? I sent an e-mail just to clarify she has been ruled out.

From what I found making a quick googling, Canada does not have free dental care. I couldn't find if it is different for adults and children though.

Just wanted Cali back to the front page. Have been wondering about Tammy and if there is a link.

We are still waiting on Tammy's sisters DNA to processed, it may be a couple more weeks before we find out if they match.

 

[dizzigirl1]

I am not good with words. It's been ages since i have really been able to come here and read things. Tammy certainly looks very similar to Cali. I however, am not a very good judge with features though. I am just quietly hoping Cali gets a name and that if it is Tammy, those who love her get some peace.

While we are still waiting the results of the DNA comparison between Cali and Tammy, someone has submitted some other girls and they now appear on Cali's rule out list.

Teresa Byers and Helen Green were added a few weeks ago, as was Patricia Chesher. Cynthia Coon and Gail Joiner have now also been added.

Tammy Alexander was submitted on 9/24. Burgess assigned someone to investigate and follow up on that lead on 9/25. On 9/29 I received an email that the DNA was on it's way to UNT for processing. When Roselvr and I convinced the Green family to give a DNA swab it took 8 weeks from date sample was obtained, until the date the results were received. We are currently in week 7 on this comparison? So hopefully it will not be much longer before we know.

Posted today in the local paper where Cali was found....

Dorothy Clitheroe has now been added to Cali's ruled out list. Still no word back on Tammy Alexander. Hopefully we will find out soon.

One of Cali's teeth was decayed down to the roots. It could have had a filling before it decayed. That would make sense, the tooth is badly decayed, it gets filled, the family stop getting dental care, then the filling cracks and the tooth is lost.

 

[chaddylex]

I honestly didn't think it would take this long for the DNA to see if Cali is Tammy Alexander. I thought maybe they would put a rush on it, but I guess I was wrong.

IMO what's taking so long is that NCMEC most likely has to get their hands in this too since Tammy was a minor. They slowed down Helen Green's brothers sample too. We're not at 2 months just yet.

Carl posted about Tammy on 09-24-2014 08:21 PM Post #1482; then the forms were rushed to LE for Tammy's sister to sign 09-26-2014, 09:09 AM #1519 then on 9/29 DNA was rushed to UNT

BINGO!
I think this is Cali!!!

Tammy Jo Alexander

Just added to NamUs today.

Margaret Kay Holst has been added to cali's rule out list. Still no word back on Tammy.

 

[rainwater]

At least we are one step closer to knowing who Cali isn't.

i've been obsessing over the PM photos and tammy's, much like everyone else. what leans me towards believing it's her is a little blemish (maybe a faint birthmark?) on tammy's right nostril and i see that same blemish on cali doe's nostril. plus the chin, brow bone, and face shape and the teeth.....the teeth look so much alike.

tammy seems to have a slightly raised scar on her neck, right side, just below her jawline and i don't see that in cali's. so that is a concern. but maybe there is a scar there on cai and it just didn't show up in the photo.

i know it's a waiting game now. just throwing in my 2 cent. i'm a long time lurker, first time poster.

Hi SilasJayne!! Welcome to Websleuths!!


When Carl found Tammy Alexander on NamUs, and made the comparison, I thought at that moment that she has to be Cali!!! I don't think I have ever been more excited to find out about a possible match than her! So many people have been wanting to give Cali a name for years. Hopefully we will hear something soon! It has almost been two months since Tammy's sister submitted DNA.

 

[dizzigirl1]

I had to check in again also. It is good to see the rule outs in way but in another you feel for the families of those ruled out.

 

[Caring4Many]

I live about 2 miles or so from where Cali was found. I'm hoping this is the resolution to her identity & I know it will be all over the news and the papers if it is. I just hope that it opens more doors to finding who is responsible for leaving her there. Cali deserves that as well.
