I'm not sure if the time frame would be enough for skeletal remains.

Any idea if she had gotten involved with drug use or prostitution? A group I am involved in is searching for possible victims of a San Francisco police officer turned serial killer during this time frame.

Thanks!
 
I was just thinking. This was in the 60s. Could she have just gotten married in another state or in Mexico and was never missing? Or just moved in and become a common law wife? If she didn't work she wouldn't have to supply a social security number. Also, she could have simply changed her identity. It was easy enough back then.
If anyone has her Nash's VIN, it can be tracked. People are tracking down individual cars from the 60s and 70s to try to buy back their childhood! Through the VIN, they would be able to tell when and where it has been registered in the US or if it has been junked.

Bumping since I'm here.
Added to my map of missing people with vehicles, as far as I can tell it hasn't been found?
 
For any searchers of documentation, etc., noting the aka as indicated in CADOJ website is: Patricia Sturbaum.

Not much is found in newspaper archives with the same last name. A quick search on the family name, and assuming the site is fairly worthy would also indicate as such:

Found her in Numident. There are 3 records and a total of 6 last names mentioned within them.

First record is from july 1943. Her name is listed as Patrica Ann Buckmaster.
she was born to Norma Blackstad and Clearance Casey. They list Jeanna Patrica Casey as an "other " name

This next record is from October 1952. Her name is listed as Patrick Ayn Beckett. Same mother as the last record, but this record lists her father as John Skinner. Patrick A Haselden is listed as an "other" name.

Final record is from July 1962 (two years after her DLC) Her name is listed as Patrick Ayn Arsenault. This record lists the same parents as the first one. Patrick Ayn Sturbaum is listed as an "other" name

Edit
The "other" name is the "name used by NH [number holder] other than the name on the SSN [social security number] card."

Unfortunately all we have is the license plate number. The vehicle is old enough that it may not have a VIN number

Where do you find exclusions on Namus?
Slightly off topic but this could use a bump anyway!

Ancestry, so many names! Perhaps a family member had her declared deceased?
