I wonder why her DLC is listed as 1983 when she was talked to in 1984/1985. Really thought she could have been a Jane Doe I was looking into but the phone call excludes her.

Doesn't sound like her mother was that concerned, if she can't recall what year it was when she last spoke to Jeanne. We don't know the nature of that conversation.

Perhaps she relocated and assumed an alias?

If everything else matches, consider submitting. It could be her mother received a call from someone claiming to be her.

As far as the call being in 1984 or 1985, some people just struggle to remember when even important events happened.

I wonder if it's possible the phone call was in November 1983? If so, I think she could be Jane Doe B-17. The only things that don't match are the phone call details and the DNA phenotyping info.

I just don't know what to make of the contact with Jeanne's mother. I feel it may not be genuine or certain though, as I feel they would put it as her DLC if they were sure.
