Does Philo Jane Doe have any ruleouts? I'm just gonna post a few suggestions from 1986-1988:

Barbara Joy Gallagher – The Charley Project

Could Robert Barr have dumped his wife in CA because he had done it before (successfully) with Barbara Joy Gallagher?

Details of Disappearance
Gallagher was last seen in Azalea, Oregon sometime between September and mid-October 1988. She has not been heard from again and her whereabouts are unknown.

Gallagher lived in Azalea on Bull Run Road with her boyfriend, Robert Barr, at the time of her disappearance. Azalea is located on Interstate 5 and is approximately 88 miles north of the California state border.

In 2001, Barr's wife's body was found in the South Lake Tahoe, California area. Several weeks later Barr shot himself to death. Investigators determined that the gun he used was the same weapon used to murder his wife; they believe he killed her. He is described as a consummate liar with a history of violence, but he was never charged in connection with Gallagher's case.

Gallagher has experience working in the retail industry, food and beverage service, community service and ranching. She was associated with people from the Redding/Red Bluff, California in 1988. It is not known if Gallagher traveled to that region after she was last seen. Her case is unsolved.

Penelope Jo Milbourn – The Charley Project

Details of Disappearance
Milbourn was last seen in Eureka, California on June 7, 1988. She has never been heard from again. She is missing under suspicious circumstances, but few details are available in her case.

--------------------------------------------

Rhonda Gayle Sansovich – The Charley Project

Details of Disappearance
Sansovich was last seen in Elmira, Oregon on March 7, 1988. She was known to be hitchhiking to California. She may have been seen in the Omaha, Nebraska area in a black Kenworth truck, but this sighting has not been confirmed. She has never been heard from again. Few details are available in her case.

Rhonda is missing two teeth, though, so that could be helpful in ruling her out -or in.
