Bumping.

Hm, it would seem that Multnomah County Jane Doe's NamUs is down. I can't find any updates about her, though.

 

[Tabirey]

This NamUs page for her is still up
(She had 2 as her remains were found in 2 different locations on different dates):

If it wasnt a accident...Hallmarks of either Ted Bundy or the Green River Killer?

Welcome to the thread. If you read a page or two back you will find the answer!

Multnomah Jane Doe has been unidentified for 37 years today.

 

[pinkclinker]

I'm a bit confused, could someone clarify whether Multnomah County Jane Doe and Jane Doe B-17 are the same person?

It has been noted upthread that this Doe could be a Green River victim because Ridgway left some full and partial remains in Oregon. Multnomah County is indeed extremely close to where the others were found.

I had just never heard anything about the rest of JD B-17's remains being found anywhere. It is strange that that detail isn't included on her NamUS page, and that her Doe Network page says her remains were found in Auburn and Federal Way, WA (nowhere near the Oregon border).

I’m a little confused as well. I’m guessing they determined the two sets of remains belonged to the same person and combined their profiles? Because the thread title has a non-working NamUs link to UP13366, and midway through this thread the link was changed to UP9929.

 

[MadMcGoo]

I got to thinking about this last night after I posted, and something still seems weird. Why would they purge the two cases and not keep the earliest date of discovery (1984) as opposed to the most recent (1986)? I can see the struggle with deciding what location to list, but usually the earliest date is listed. That just makes the most sense. And then a comment/note is left explaining the reasoning behind it. Or the two separate profiles are kept separate and same thing, the connection between the two is notated on each case.

I haven’t followed these murders much, so I may just be missing something, but at the very least the title thread is confusing.

Doe Network has Multnomah county JD as identified, but Jane doe B-17 is still an active case. I’m confused as well

Doe Network has Multnomah county JD as identified, but Jane doe B-17 is still an active case. I’m confused as well

@Dr. Nici Vance Do you have any information on this case and the confusion with multiple pages, possible identification, etc.?

 

[Otterly]

I'll just throw in my thoughts, if the Jane Doe in this thread was a Ridgeway victim, I doubt B-17 Jane Doe and 1262UFOR (using the Doe Newtork ID due to the confusion around NAMUS ID numbers) are the same person because afaik, Ridgeway is not known to have placed any of his victims' individual remains (parts from the same victim) in different locations.

This thread's JD Doe Network page, which as of the 18th says identified: The Doe Network: 1262UFOR
