This is where you post possible matches yes?
If not move it where it goes
and Ill remember next time exactly where to post
possible matches.

The only thing not matching up is a scar?
So I don't know.
That is why I am posting as a sfc
Subject for comparison.​

When I did a search on NamUs for a female 25-40, weighing 105-145 and height of 58-68 inches, green eyes, and brown hair, the only hit I got was Birdie Leonard as well. The scar on the UID is listed as being on her arm, but on Birdie it is an abdominal scar.

When I did a search of 0-40 on age, I found a couple more people it also could be (just wish we had a picture to go off of - the profile says "recognizable face") based on this search.

This board hasn't been posted on in like six years, but I came across it and thought I'd look around.
Wondering why there is so little info if she was recognizable and found so soon.

These are the only two I found with the description of the UID. One is a little younger( who was brought up before) and one is a little underweight, but real close. Wish there was a sketch or picture of this poor girl.

I think Elizabeth Eisle is a good match in my newbie opinion. Lol.
 
I went to her Doe Network profile and there's her NamUs profile listed under 'source information' but I'm unable to access it. I wonder why? I also wonder why there's no reconstruction for her or any PM pictures. she was strangled and her body was discovered shortly after her death, so her face should be recognizable.

Both Elizabeth and Candace have DNA tests completed in Namus so if they were a match with Jane Doe there would have already been a hit.

The porchlight link narrows JD's age down to late 30s/early 40s - not sure where they've got that info from though. http://z10.invisionfree.com/usedtobedoe/index.php?showtopic=41410

The location where her body was recovered was the 1300 block of Kuroki street - it looks like there is a drug and alcohol treatment facility (Victory Temple Ministeries) one one side of the road and Hillside Park on the other side. Anyone know this area and what else is around, what kind of place it is, what she may have been doing there? i.e. is it mostly residential etc?

I wondered the same. After reading the article above, maybe they were just overwhelmed by the mass amount of homicides, and just didn't get to it. Hopefully they will look back into all theses cases so more info can be brought forward. This seems solvable.
