You're a star, @chaddylex
@chaddylex what do you think about Rose Hockenson mentioned above? If @Bit of hope hasn't submitted, would you be willing to turn in the possible match, given your earlier success with LE on this case?

So far, Rose Ann Hockenson remains a very good match for "Ginger" Altamonte Springs Jane Doe.Another rule out added to Ginger Doe's list on 4/21/22
Currently up to 16 rule outs The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

No word on Rose Hockenson yet.
I have a question?
I found an article that says there was a name engraved inside the ring she was wearing. Does anybody know what that name was? I think that could possibly be a huge lead to her name?
Also, in several cases, there has been information that was completely inaccurate. The part about the ID gives me several questions. What type of ID would a teenager from 1973 have? Kids back then didn't just go get an ID, they really didn't need one. Maybe a school Id? Does anybody know of any schools back in 1973 that gave the students an ID? Or any reason why a teenager in 1973 would have had one? Is it possible that what she saw was one of the little ID cards that come with wallets? If so then the information on it could be totally inaccurate.
Article I referenced
Ring article that mentions a name engraved inside ring.
If you click on the link above it will take you to the newspaper article which says there was a name engraved in the ring. This article was written on Aug. 24, 1973, and was published in the Orlando Sentinel. I had never heard it before either which is why I was so shocked.
Experience tells us that often witness statements in cases like these are inaccurate. I just can't think of any reason a teenager would have had an ID in 1973? I also think she could be from anywhere.
Isotopes were accurate for Maggie Sniegowski, accurately predicting her being from Ohio, but they're so hit or miss that I think it's probably best to disregard them most of the time.Details are often the key to these cases getting solved, so I contacted the detective on the case. She told me that there isn't a name engraved on the ring. Little details like that make me crazy.
I meant to ask a few questions about the ID, such as Did the witness say what type of Id it was? I'm reasonably sure she didn't. I never said her having an ID was impossible, I know some people had them.
I'm just not certain if I've ever researched an unidentified person's case and not found misinformation.
I agree completely with Bit of Hope about the Isotopes. Are there any known cases where they have been accurate?

isotopes were really wrong for Evelyn colon though saying she was from Europe when she lived in Pennsylvania and was from Puerto RicoI tend to think of them as a clue--it's worth looking for possible matches in the areas the isotopes point to, but they certainly don't rule anybody out.
