Thank you for the NameUs listing.

There seems to be a big difference between where NameUs and the police department say the remains were found. This is a Google map:

Possibly the coordinates are just generally landed on the map somewhere at random in Knoxville. I've seen that a lot.

I live here and never heard of this one. Christina is a great start!

I will say though there isn't much to go on. Its telling that another organization is asking for help. Sadly in my experience Knox County and Knoxville City LE aren't very receptive to us outsiders.

That’s unfortunate.

I'm having a hard time to even reach the crime stoppers tip page, or the official Knoxville LE page. It's very annoying. I don't say this often but although the age estimate doesn't add up I really think Christine Bussell looks a lot like Jane Doe, especially when you do a lay over, same height, approx 1 hour distance between Winfield and Knoxville, right year (PMI 5 years, so around 2011) Can somebody take a shot and submit her?
