Identified! CA - Pacifica, WhtFem 593UFCA, 25-46, found in tent, Jun'06 - Christine Kuhn

[Kymistry35]

Have just joined this forum after reading for weeks. I am an RN based in the UK. This poor lady looks thyrotoxic to me, looks like she has exopthalmus, does anyone else think so? Her face haunts me and I find it difficult to look at her, poor lady...

Her eyes do seem to bulge out of the sockets, but that could be because she was really skinny or because they were open so wide...I don't know.

Here is a definition of exophtalmos:

You would be right badhorsie, I wondered why her eyes bulged like that, and thought it might be drugs or some type of mania.

Maybe she had Graves disease. My sister had that, and if left untreated, could definitely cause erratic behavior. (Lord knows my poor sister was out of sorts emotionally until they adjusted her meds properly...she threw a book at me!)

You are right, it can have a terrible impact on someones mental health, anxiety, manic behaviour...

*must stop diagnosing* bad habit of mine:cat:

Ok--I checked out the other thread--there were a few good candidates there--I will ask there to see if any of the ladies posted have been ruled out:

Monica Appleton

She REALLY looks like Monica Appleton. Have you heard anything??

http://www.nampn.org/cases/harrington_beverly_i.html Does that look like a match? Timeline fits perfectly.

The UID was found i 2006 - estimated time of death 3 months prior. Harrington went missing in Jan. 2003.

I remember it was mentioned that Runaway Bride Jennifer Wilbanks had graves disease. Jennifer's eyes look so much like the eyes of the this Unidentified woman. And as you pointed out, Graves Disease can cause erratic behavior (running away).

She could have been living as a transient for a few years prior to dying.

Wow--they look so much alike, same chin, and similar circumstances. She very easily could have taken a bus to SFO. The height is off though, but I do feel visually that she is the closest match. Maybe you should call it in?

http://http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/c/casper-ross_jennifer.htmlany chance this is Jennifer Ross?
it is hard to find missing women that are as tall as 5'9".

also - we don't know much about this woman Tina Wilson, but she does look like our CA Doe, and she's in the age range - she could have left and traveled to CA. sounds like she was exploring religion as well. She also has the same "haunted" look in her eyes as well - that's the only way I can describe it.

[badhorsie]

For this lady, someone must know who she is

 

[future criminologist]

I think Kimberly Lilly is a possibility - she bears a resemblance, disappeared 8 years before, which could have allowed enough time for her hair to go gray. has she been ruled out?

She looks like she is bipolar in a manic phase. She could definetly have psychosis with that. Look at those eyes. I also thought I read that she appeared to be starving herself. Manic people have to be practically forced to eat. I don't know how this helps, but I guess if we are using a mental illness when we are searching we should look for Bipolar disorder too.

I wonder if she was starving herself do some type of delusion she had. If she herself put the tape on the tent saying "no go, no eat, no drink, murder.”

also:

"he tent contained many books, including two Bibles, a “Busy Women’s Journal” with several scriptures noted and Harry Potter."

..quite possibly religious delusions of some sort; they can be common with some of the mentally ill.

"The only thing the Coroner’s Office knows for certain is the woman once received high-quality dental work. The Coroner’s Office is hoping a dentist somewhere may recognize her face and remember performing the work, Gamble said."

If she was mentally ill; then there is a chance she was hospitalized somewhere before she was released. Most state mental hospitals also provide dental work on the patients; if she was in a more expensive private hospital; the work may be even better. LE might want to check into that as well.

"The woman is believed to be in her 40s. An anthropology report places her age between 33 years old and 46 years old. A dental report estimates her age anywhere from 25 years old to 40 years old."

Her dental work places her 6-8 years younger; she would have had to have been keeping up with her teeth since she had got the dental work done.
She might have been released from a hospital sometime before she was found. If her teeth were in that good a condition; i don't think she'd have been on the streets very long.

I am bumping this up because I just found Patsy Baker's missing poster and I thought, "where have I seen this woman before?" I know she is much shorter than the UID but I think she looks EXACTLY like this UID!!! just look at the photo...

I don't think it is her because when I look at Jane Doe's facial features, her jaw seems wider. Patsy Baker's cheek bones are wider. I don't think weight loss would change that. I can see the similarities, though, with the eye and stare!

Was Monica Lynn Appleton ruled out? There is something about her picture that reminds me of this Jane Doe...the hair especially.

The hair, the hairline, the eyes, the eyebrows, the jaw shape. I definitely thought of her when I saw the UID woman.

As you asked, has Monica Lynn Appleton been ruled out?

 

[badhorsie]

Good to see this lady on the front page again. I think (as a rn) that she has thyrotoxicosis and exopthalmus, that's why her eyes look strange, this would have developed over time. She may well not have had eyes like that before she went missing.
As for the tapes saying "no go no eat no drink murder" I wonder if someone had been trying to make her move on.

She is one lady I would love to see have the dignity of a marked grave, amongst many others..
