I entered this missing girl into Namus. She will be MP# 54334 when published

Thank you for your diligence. This child doesn't deserve to have disappeared and been forgotten. Answers and justice for Denise!

Your welcome!

 

[Mysteries1974]

I enetered her DNA profile onto Namus so she should be up within a few days. I cannot find her dental information anywhere

 

[madamx]

Oh wow thank Mysteries! I had never heard of this girl before. Too bad there is no height or weight.

Details of Disappearance
Denise was last seen in the vicinity of McDonogh 35 High School, where she was a student, in New Orleans, Louisiana at 11:30 a.m. on January 10, 1978. She was supposed to have lunch with her aunt, but never showed up. She has never been heard from again. She lived in the 1900 block of Feliciana Street at the time of her disappearance.

Another girl from Denise's neighborhood went missing about six months before Denise did, and was later found murdered. It isn't clear whether the homicide is related to Denise's disappearance. Her case remains unsolved.

 

[MadMcGoo]

Does anyone know about this other missing/murdered girl from the neighborhood?? I can’t seem to find anything about it.

Not in NamUs yet. It's been about 5 years. Why?

My submission for her was removed almost immediately after I sent it in

Wait... the exact same thing happened to me just recently with a woman named Patience Jupiter... what contact did you have down? Shame too as Patience is very likely a Jane Doe... I cam across this case and Patience's through LSU FACES, looking for those not in the system yet.
