FL FL - Altoona, WhtFem Skeletal 126UFFL, 17-20, near Lake Dorr, Apr'84

[Peppered_peach]

It says on the NCMEC that she had reddish purple stained teeth. Wondering what caused them to be stained or if it was a tooth condition such as dentinogenesis, which may cause teeth to be grayish blue, yellowish brown or even reddish purple. If she did Have this condition, that could contribute to the loss of the front teeth since the teeth are much weaker and may break.

She's a bit old but it doesn't seem she's been ruled out yet.

 

[CluelessWonder]

I have always thought that she was a local kid.

This little snippet of info, if correct, might help ID Jane Doe.

Have you seen this child? Jane Doe1984

At the time of the initial investigation, detectives were told the female was new to the area, possibly came from California and was using the name ?Judy?.

 

[PayrollNerd]

A lady from CA named Judy....... oh help me remember her last name. Her sister Maureen posts on her thread. Crud. I'll be back......

Found it! Left a message over there too.

Have they ran her dna through genealogy?

Judy was 5'10. I doubt this is her.
I submitted Lisa Sexton back in 2010 - and she was 5'8 - the Doe is listed as being about 5'1.

In the NamUs profile it points out that they were given information that she was possibly new to the area. Because of this I really think it's important to rule out Shannon Lee Potter even though some of the information is a bit off.
MD - MD - Shannon Potter, 13, Baltimore, 3 March 1984
The age, height, and weight for ATJ are extremely specific even though the remains were partially skeletonized, which makes me feel more confident about this match. Shannon was 13, 5'5", and weighed more than ATJ, but again the weight and age seem too specific? She had reddish brown hair, was probably on her way to Florida and went missing about 6 weeks before ATJ was found. My issues with the match are that Shannon had surgery for a cracked pelvis and a 'split mandible', would these be necessary for a rule-out? I would be grateful for any thoughts on this match since it has been on my mind for a few years.

Just wanted to update everyone- I submitted Shannon through the doenetwork and received a very quick response stating that she had already been submitted as a possible match to law enforcement. She is not listed as a rule-out so I'm not sure if she was simply not a good match or if they are still investigating, but they are aware of the possible connection.

Some of those reconstructions of this poor girl are terrible so heres my attempt

If they weren't so sure she was white I would have suggested SE Asian - Burmese, northern Thai, SW Laos - where chewing betel nut is popular. In the early stages of use teeth take on a purplish tint.

I sent an email yesterday to the one contact on Judy Doe's NamUs contact list. She read my email, but of course, no response.
