Personal commentary (hopefully useful)

"...near the area of Old Toll Rd..." is pretty darned imprecise. As can be seen here https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Cal...701edb8ce!2m2!1d-122.9730931!2d38.9385644!3e0 that is over 8 miles of snake-backed dirt road. Coincidentally, I happened to drive the Old Toll Rd within a couple years of this disappearance. It was a dusty filthy crawl through some singularly ugly rolling scrub land.
 
Bingo! Important info at http://csafd.proboards.com/thread/1963/dori-lynne-andres-1994

DOB: 22 September 1972. Five feet one, 140 pounds, blonde hair, blue eyes. Tattoo back of left shoulder. Had suffered several fractures in an auto accident earlier in her life. She previously broke both arms, left tibia, left fibula, and left femur. And here the investigating agency given is from Sonoma County--Cloverdale Police Force, 707-894-2150. Jurisdictional issues?
 
Note: Cloverdale PD website says officers carry out a case from start to finish. They have a departmental detective only if they have enough people. MCSO website returned no info on Dori.
 
Received phone call answer to above request. Cloverdale PD is not covering the case. Only info on Dori in CPD system is a request for information by the Petaluma PD in 2000.
