Interesting possible match, I think Susan is worth submitting.

Circumstances of Discovery​

On December 7, 1991, a hiker discovered a woman’s body beneath a pile of tree branches on a hiking trail near CR 433 in Sorrento. She was naked below the waist and had been the victim of rape and homicide.

Joseph A. Rolle, Jr. was charged with her rape and murder, but a jury convicted him only of her rape; not her murder. He denied knowing her identity.
 

Snip:
The material in her jawbone was then turned over to the University of North Texas, which manages the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, or NamUs, for the National Institute of Justice.

“They were able to establish a profile,” said Detective Lisa Dorrier — but no name.
 

Snip
Days after she was raped and murdered, a hiker came across her semi-naked body in the woods in Lake County, Florida. He first thought she was a mannequin. It’s possible that her brown hair with blonde tips camouflaged with the stack of tree limbs she had been temporarily buried beneath. The defence alleged the crime scene had been botched; incompetent investigators brushed debris out her multiple stab wounds after initially concluding that she’d been killed (and covered?) by a bear. Later however, after fully uncovering the posed corpse they discovered a glass bottle protruding from her neck, framed by strangulation marks. A stolen Land Rover was found nearby, the detectives working the case questioned it’s owner but later ruled him out.
 
She had muscular legs, which led detectives to speculate that she may have been a dancer in a topless club.
That's pretty presumptive, unless they had info from her convicted rapist or some of his other surviving victims. I've got muscular legs and have never been a dancer in a topless club - just saying.

Dentals: Available. Previous orthodontic care but teeth had decayed.
Key info there.

I suspect most will disagree with this submission (to NamUs, and both investigating agencies) but I'm as confident as one can be about it. :)

I fairly certain that missing person Lucy Delia Fuentes (Newburgh, NY) is Sorrento, FL's unidentified female, which would mean that one of the agencies has reported an incorrect year (+-1 year).

Lucy Delia Fuentes went missing in Newburgh, NY, and the police believe that Lucy may have left with an unknown male (Joseph A. Rolle, Jr?) enroute to Florida, which is the same location the unidentified was found (Sorrento, FL).

Notes:

-Lucy is wearing sunglasses, and the unidentified has sunglass tan lines.

-Lucy is fixed-up in her photo with makeup, sunglasses, earrings, and freshly styled hair, and the unidentified is not (maybe some makeup).

-Lucy's hair style is identical to the unidentified's. The unidentified only needs to style her hair forward over her forehead.

-Both appear to wear large earrings.

-Identical height.

-Lucy's nose is wider, given her facial expression.

-The differences in their profiles are negligible (IMO).

Jane Doe is a bit lighter than Lucy, about 30 pounds lighter. However, I do think she could be Lucy. She could have lost weight.

Note after I did a little bit of digging. Jane Doe was found in 1991. Lucy went missing in 1992. It’s not her. They do look similar but I think Lucy is gonna be ruled out.

I usually don't put too much consideration into what family reports with regard to height, and weight of their loved ones. It's often just one's best estimation.

It could be an estimation. I think maybe 155 pounds could just be an estimate. I was a living Jane Doe once at 13. I was measured 4’10” 86 pounds. My family called the hospital looking for a girl who is 4’8” and 75 pounds. It was just a rough guess. It could be a guess. My parents would tell you I am 5’2” and 115 pounds now. I’m 5’2”, yes, but I’m 110 pounds. Maybe it could be a typo for Jane Doe’s discovery. But if it IS correct she is not Lucy and she’s gonna be a rule out.

MOO
 
Okay I found this lady who I think could be a "possible match" for this Jane Doe.
She isn't listed in NamUs, put she is listed on The Charley Project and The Doe Network





Sandra Binns Jane Doe
1694707442974.png1694707467815.png

Sandra

  • Missing Since12/09/1991 Jane Doe was found on 12/7/91 - that's two days before she was reported missing or last seen
  • Missing FromBig Pine Key, Florida Jane Doe was found in Sorrento FL which is 6 hours North of Pine Key
  • Age39 years old Jane Doe was to be believed to be between 25-40
  • Height and Weight 5'3, 130 pounds Jane Doe was measured as being 5'4 124 lbs
  • Distinguishing Characteristics
  • Caucasian female. Brown hair, brown eyes. Jane Doe was to have brown hair (with blonde tips) and Hazel eyes
  • Binns has a scar on her knee.

The characteristics between the two aren't real far off. I am wondering possibly if this could be her.

Sandra doesn't have a lot of information available. The Doe Network says that Dentals, DNA and Fingerprints are Unknown.

I am going to submit this. It can't hurt - Sandra is still missing and this Jane Doe is still unidentified.
