I feel like the UID was possibly homosexual and feared coming out to her family? 1990 was a different time.

Looks pretty good pretty good to me creepedout. I was looking at Frances and noticed she tweezed her eyebrows and the UID looks like she did too.
I wish I could see Frances ear better because looks like the UID has small distinctive ears no? Looks like the piercing may have something reddish brown in it. Or it's a larger hole. I cannot tell really.

You know , sadly, I am feeling your right and this could be the case.

Could've this Doe been transient? I feel like they shaved off their hair for convenience.

Or, could this be someone who was terminally ill?

I came across Donna Urban and her nose and features have similarities except UID looks thinner. I know it mentions that she could of jumped off the bridge. But what if she actually just left the car and went off to start a new life?

Just thought I would put her on here. Story is odd but stats and age fit.

UID does not mention gap between teeth. But does not mention anything specific on teeth anyway.

Speaking of head shaving. I actually care across the ad for the Netflix movie Unorthodox (about a woman running away) and wondered could this woman been a Hasidic Jewish woman that left the religion and husband?

Could she have left and was not reported because it would cause shame to her family? Or if she was Jewish could she have only been reported in her community?

Aug 22 which iam assuming is the day she hung herself and found the next day is a Jewish holiday. Iam not Jewish so I really don’t know much. But I was looking into it and came across This.

So, a question: What is going on with her ear? My head can't quite wrap itself around what's up there.

Will say that does look a pretty recent hair-cut.

Yes her ear almost looks like it had been cut at some point or something like that.

I am trying to find other sources on this Doe. They have her clothing, bra and shoes, but no sizes are listed. Which could be helpful I suppose.

There are a few deformities that could happen with ears:

Types of ear deformities
There are several varieties of congenital ear deformities, including:

• Protruding ears (also called prominent ears): Ears that, regardless of size, stick out more than 2 cm from the side of the head
• Constricted ears: A variety of ear deformities where the helical rim is either folded over (also called lop ear), wrinkled, or tight
• Cryptotia: Ear cartilage framework that is partially buried beneath the skin on the side of the head
• Microtia: Underdeveloped external ear
• Anotia: Total absence of the ear
• Stahl's ear Ears that have a pointy shape and an extra cartilage fold (crus) in the scapha portion of the ear
• Ear tags: Also known as an accessory tragus or a branchial cleft remnant, ear tags consist of skin and cartilage
• Earlobe deformities: These come in a variety of shapes, including earlobes with clefts, duplicate earlobes, and earlobes with skin tags
• Traumatic ear deformities: Lacerations, tears and bite injuries.
• Split earlobes: Occur gradually due to large or heavy earrings
• Cauliflower ear: Abnormal cartilage forms on top of the normal cartilage, resulting in bulky misshapen ears
• Ear keloids: Caused by excessive scar tissue formation after minor trauma, most commonly after ear piercing
• Ear hemangiomas: Most common benign tumor of infancy, can occur anywhere on the body, including the external ear and the salivary gland in front of the ear.
