Possible Victim: Fire Island Jane Doe, UP9098, found Davis Park Apr 1996 & Ocean Parkway Apr 2011 - Karen Vergata

Hello Stephen,


Thank you for the suggested match. I don't show any comparison of these having been done so I will have our panel look at it. If is proven to be a positive match, I will contact you further.

Best Regards,

How did you go about placing your lead? I don't see anywhere on NamUs to do that.
 
There is a contact email for each case on NamUs I used that and I used the potential match form on DoeNetwork for that site.
 
Or what about Mary Kopacz?

IMO this one is an exact match! The eyes and nose are right on...

My concern with Mary Kopacz was her date last seen, June 18, 1991, I feel like this is a large gap between disappearance and murder. But that's just my opinion.
 
I hope they get back to you with further answers. I submitted a match over a year ago, got a similar response and heard nothing further.
 
I recall "teeth" were founs as well from Fire Island Jane Doe. In another cold case involving a Jane Doe science has been used with the teeth and hair and it can now be determined where that Jane Doe was from and even where she traveled to before dying. Why can't we use that type of science in this case and maybe find some more clues out?
 
I don't see as much of a resemblance with Dawn Holt as I do with Robin Ann Vaudreuil.

Maybe, but the reason I asked was because I didn't want to submit Dawn as a possible match if others had already done so.
 
Sandra Cifuentes??

The dates are a little off, I wonder if the family reported her missing much later than she actually went missing? I think the scars might fit as well. Assuming her hair was longer than the picture, we don't know how old the picture is. Missing from NJ.

Unlikely in my opinion, she went missing from a Psych Hospital, the date of entry should have been quite close to when she went missing IMO.
 
I submitted a possible for Peaches a few days ago. The doe Network told me they didn't beleive anyone submitted the possible match before, They will put it in front the the panel. The panel reviews it if the dates are correct and details they forward to law enforcement. Namus will post on the case page who has been RULED out as possible matches.

Here is an example. The bottom of case page lists the rule outs.

More pictures of Mary Ann Kopacs can be found here. Have to say, she does resemble Fire Island Jane's sketch.

I've seen pics of Mary Ann Kopac before. I think it's close but not quite. Is there a general consensus on when FIJD actually went missing?

Does anyone know if Fire Island Jane Doe has a tattoo~~I thought I read somewhere that she did, but of course I can't find it now.
