Curious to learn if any updates?

Hearing back on a submission can take months or even years

 

[Bit of hope]

Oh wow, everything matches perfectly! Please make sure you submit this, if you don’t want to I happily will. I think you’ve got something here.

Could this be Gail?

Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything. I can imagine it will be a while. Until then, we must not lose hope.

Update: I heard back from my contact today. They haven’t responded back about the submission I sent in, however law enforcement was able to confirm that Judy Davis from Jacksonville, Florida who has been missing since 1972 has been ruled out.

Sorry, silly me...somehow It didn't click.. Good to know Judy is ruled out for the Jane Doe who you brought up for possibly being Gail Joiner.

Hello, everyone. I'm sad to report that the Jane Doe I submitted has been ruled out as Gail Joiner. To be honest, I truly thought it was her. I was wrong. However, on a positive note, the UID has presented another possible identity on who it could be, which is, Charlotte Erdman. To preface, this is another submission, not a definitive match.

While it's natural to feel some disappointment, this shouldn't discourage anyone from trying to find Gail or the thousands of other missing people. They're still lost and need our help. As long as we continue to pull our resources and work together, we are capable of anything. I will not stop my search for Gail until she is found.

I'm with you. We shouldn't give up. Thanks for your persistence.
@theshadow45 thank you too. You know I'm not into bumping without content, but I really appreciate you are trying to let us know that this are real people with birthday's and the like and family who will always remember the dates.

the 70s missing really tug at me. I was born in 1972, and I'm no longer a young woman. I can't imagine the elderly parents and other aging family members not having any sort of closure.

September 22 today, so I spent some time searching. Has this unidentified from Seminole County been compared to Gail? I can see some similarities. Same hair color. Size is within range. Less than 100 miles away.

Gail has been missing for 47 years today.

 

[Beekarina]

I find this but interesting: Gail had recently moved to Florida from Romulus, Michigan.

The unidentified girl had possibly been carrying some form of ID that another person remembered as being from Ann Arbor. (If they in fact met the UID.) Ann Arbor & Romulus are only about 30 minutes apart. I wonder if Gail might have had some form of ID from Ann Arbor?

I think they resemble one another

This case is a perfect example of Law Enforcement holding on to vital information long after the reason for doing so has expired. It makes one wonder if the withholding of information or "classifying" it might be to cover up screw-ups in the investigation, rather than protecting sources or a hot investigation.

They haven't solved this one in almost 34 years. Does anyone believe that they are on the verge of solving it tomorrow - thus the necessity of with holding information like her photo, height, weight, eyecolor, birthdate, etc?

Since she is not in NCMEC or Doenetwork, here is what such a listing would look like. If anyone can fill in the blanks, add photos or links, please do.

The date of birth must be incorrect as she would not be a teen if born in 1968 or 1969. Perhaps 1959. Came here to learn about case. Saw possible match of teen found in 1974con a facebook group which I believe poster will be sending to Namus.
