Missing from Auburn CA, was a foster child (her father abuses her and her sister and went to prison) and went living in Applegate with her grandmother...her back then boyfriend was arrested after she went missing for another incident and is a sex offender to0

I also wonder how it's possible to have a PMI of 6 months but an estimated year of death between 1983 - 1984. Can somebody explain that to me?

Is there more information on this?

She isn't listed on the NCMEC website. Sad, considering this Jane Doe to be a child.

I did sent an Email to NCMEC to get some attention regarding this girl.

In the tread for Michelle a member posted a list of Jane Doe's she was checked against per december 2019 CA - CA - Michelle Duncan, 18, South Los Angeles, 4 Nov 1984 This Jane Doe is not on this list, but, if I understood right, there are no identifiers for this Jane Doe so they will never be able to rule Michelle in or out.

 

[Bit of hope]

I did sent an Email to NCMEC to get some attention regarding this girl.

She is still not on the NCMEC California list....sigh.
