I think the key when looking for matches is the height of this girl. She was very short at only 4'6".
When you have a height that short, you have to suspect that they erroneously recorded her 5 feet 4 inches height as "54 inches"' instead of 64 inches, and then someone comes along and correctly converts 54 inches back to feet and inches (4 feet 6 inches). That is a common error.
Can Doe Network ask the police to do it (I think LE are the only ones that can enter cases, is that correct)?I wish there was a way to get her into NAMUS but I wouldn't know how to.
This is verrry strange! This doesn’t seem common to me. Especially 2 victims who have gone this long unidentified. Surely someone looked into a possible connection.The Doe Network: Case File 634UFFL
Another young woman was found killed on the same day in almost the exact same location. Nothing in either of their case files suggests a connection, but I find this extremely strange.
Stitched undergarments were definitely a thing back then, but the particular phrase seems odd. It seems like most were just "days of the week" type designs.How popular/common were embroidered panties like these back then? The stitching doesn’t particularly look homemade, but I’m not having much luck when searching for something similar that was available for retail purchase. Maybe I’m just not using the proper keywords though.
Poor Rose Ann!The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
Rose Ann Hockenson was suggested in another thread as a possible match for this woman. It doesn't seem like a lot is known about her, unfortunately.
Poor Rose Ann!
A family member reportedly saw Rose Ann being forced into a car after school, yet by the report it seems that they were unable or unwilling to provide law enforcement with a decent description of their child.
Could the family truly have no reasonable idea of her height, weight, hair or eye color? Some idea of clothes she wore to school that day? Were they unable to provide her dental records or any other identifying particulars?
Granted, she may not have seen a dentist regularly, but Rose Ann clearly had significant and unique frontal malocclusion. Photos also show her with rather thick glasses that she was likely to be helpless without.
Perhaps it was pervasive disinterest on the part of law enforcement to not persistently seek out and accurately record identifiers for a missing teenager. Perhaps the family was uneducated and did not know how to advocate for themselves, or…..
I will leave it there. All I know is that if I witnessed a family member being abducted, I would darn well make sure that Law enforcement had everything they needed to identify my kin. Dear Rose Ann. You are not forgotten.
