I actually see a strong resemblance between her and the UID. Samuel Little confessed to murdering a women (with red/reddish hair IIRC) around the same time and in the same area as this UID was found. But how certain can anyone be that the unidentified woman is in fact the same woman Little killed and drew the reconstruction of? Even at that, his memory could have been slightly off about the hair (or other details).

Based on the information known and the original reconstruction of the UID, I think it’s possible this could be Bettina. A little over the estimated age range, but worth submitting in my opinion.

Yes it could be possible that she was alive for several years after her disappearance. She had schizophrenia and multiple personality disorder. My family held out hope for years that she could have been placed in a mental hospital somewhere but all leads have led nowhere. In answer to threads about if she was born with or without her teeth. She was most definitely born with teeth and got dentures a few years before she disappeared. Thank you to all who continue to show interest in my grandmother's case and the many many other cold cases out there. I have posted a few more photos that show on my public Facebook profile: Shaunta Marie Behney

Shasta,

My mom suffered from schizophrenia as well. I believe I located someone that might be your missing love one. I am so sorry for your loss.

Have you ever identified with those male friends you camp with? The note she left on his shoes left me intrigued... perhaps all this happened in her mind apart from being depressed... in her moments of lucidity she escaped and there was no turning back...
either way
rest in peace

I see someone had previously suggested early on in this thread Bettina as a possible match for the St. Martin Parrish LA 1982 Jane doe. I’m curious what the current comparison status is, as she really seems like a perfect match.
