Here's a new addtion to NamUs.

Diana Renee Smith
https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/22771/0

Aside from the 10-year timeframe, she fits quite closely to the parameters for UP 71, including:

* Similar Tattoo description (Black rose on breast)
* Consistent Height (65"-66")
* Consistent Age (About 30 at time of Jane Doe's death)
* Caught rides with truckers - consistent with roadside location of Jane Doe's body.
* wore multiple rings on fingers - Jane Doe wore two rings.

And if she had been on the road for 10 years, that might explain the poor dentition.

Here's the Jane Doe's UP casefile.

I think she is a strong possiblity. Are you going to submit it?

Emily Craig just e-mailed me to say that Diane Smith has been ID'd, but not to this Jane Doe. She was matched to a 1991 Jane Doe, but which one has still not been publicized.
 
I think I have a few possible matches. I mostly concentrated on the nose and mouth, but there are quite a few. Some could be way off, but some just seemed to stick in my mind.

Peggy Alt, aged 17, vanished 1985
Debra Cole, aged 12, vanished 1981
Jennifer Douglas, aged 17, vanished 1984
Jennifer Fay, aged 16, vanished 1989
Raylene Helsley, aged 12, vanished 1983
Kimberly Kersey, aged 18, vanished 1987
Stacy McCall, aged 18, vanished 1992 (one of the Springfield Three)
Melanie Melanson, aged 14, vanished 1989
Heidi Wilbur, aged 16, vanished 1991
I am sorry if any of the names are incorrect, but I kept looking at the nose and mouth and tried to see if any of these girls/women had anything in common.
Hope it helps.
 
Has Diane Marie Hambert been looked into or mentioned? She looks similar but she has darker hair. She also has a tattoo of a rose tattoo over left breast.

She's almost certainly not Melanie Melanson. There's strong evidence she was murdered the night she disappeared.

Also, the soft tissue of the nose is one of the first things that decays, so the nose in the reconstruction is likely an approximation.

This is probably going way out...but I wonder if it could possibly be her...her age would be a bit off...she was reported missing in 1995 at the age of 14. Thoughts?

ETA: She is not on the rule out list on Namus.

I don't know if this could be her because of the timeframe, but she'd be a good choice area-wise.

She was last seen in Indiana and Hopkins pawned a ring in Tennessee. I-65 would be one of the main routes you could take between the two.

Kinsey likely died around the time of her disappearance (1995) and the Jane Doe was said to have died in 2001

Diane Marie Hambert

Definitely some matching information (I bolded the things that stood out to me). The age is off by about 10 years from Jane Doe's maximum age on Namus and while JD has healed rib and arm fractures, Diane has a healed broken nose.

Missing Since: July 1, 2001
Location Last Seen: Fort Walton Beach, Okaloosa, Florida

Date of Birth: June 23, 1958
Age at Time of Disappearance: 45 yrs old
Race: White
Gender: Female
Height at Time of Disappearance: 5'4"-5'6"
Weight at Time of Disappearance: 95-115 lbs

Distinguishing Marks/Features: Ms. Hamberts' eyes could look more brown instead of hazel, A rose tattoo over left breast, nasal scar from broken nose, scar also on cheek

I think this below is crucial info, I wonder if it could be a typo or if Diane was heard from in 2003?

Circumstances of Disappearance

Diane's Aunt was last to speak to Diane in May 2003.

Diane Smith no longer accessible on NamUs, UID still available
 
Tammy Briley has been ruled out. Any new information on this case?
 
I came across this yesterday but with the excitment of FLEK forgot to post it.

The ages are off, and the circumstances OK at best, but the resemblance of the Jane Doe and the rendering of what Christine would have looked like today are very similar (although the nose is a bit off)

Sorry if shes been mentioned before, but I checked the ruleouts and didnt see anything.

Thoughts?
 
This Jane Doe is currently at lab for extraction--a pending DNA Doe Project case! I'm so excited, I reached out to her contact months ago and let him know about DNA Doe Project, glad to see Kentucky has a doe in the pipeline
