OR OR - Portland, Hisp/Ntv/Isl Fem #UP105256, <40, in homeless encampment, recognizable face, sketch, Buddha tattoo, jewelry, Apr ‘23

Don't think she has a thread, nor do I think she's on Namus. Her case is being discussed in conjunction with 5 other women that were found deceased in the Portland area. Social media alleges that the deaths of these women are connected and may be the work of a serial killer, but LE have stated that there is no connection between these 6 cases at this time.

Officials say the woman had two noticeable tattoos: a Buddha and a music note with the letter V.

I came across "Unidentified Female" after looking into rumors of a serial killer in the Portland, OR area. "Unidentified Female" is the only one of the current six in question who seems to not be getting as much attention (I have some theories but won't speculate at this time). I've decided to call her "Indigenous Doe" to separate her from other UF's.

Here's what we know so far based on the released information from the ME...
• Race: Possibly Native Alaskan or Native American (Some have thought maybe Asian due to the Buddha tattoo [see below])
• Age: 25-40 Years Old
• Height: 5'
• Weight: 135 lbs.
• Hair Color: Black (Medium-length)
• Eye Color: Brown
• Found Wearing: Green long sleeve shirt, black & white zip up jacket, jeans, rings & bracelets, and white Adidas SLIDES (Previous reports like the one below stated "Cleats.")
• Found Location: I-205 & Flavel St., SE Portland, OR
• Found Date: 4/24/2023
• Unique Identifiers: 2 large scars on her lower, left leg, Musical note tattoo with a "V" and a Buddha tattoo with the words, "Never forgotten" followed by ???? ← **I think this could be someone's name and thus, a clue to who she may have known and a step closer to her identity. The name could be of Thai, Cambodian, Sri Lankan, Mongolian, Laotian, or Myanmarian origin.**
• Cause of Death: NOT RELEASED as of 5/31/2023

Look at the Buddha tattoo. What do you think that says?

Current sketch.

What's under the Buddha? "Never forgotten..." Maybe Ramon something?

 

[shanae]

I think the, "Never forgotten" and then ??? is a huge clue. I think if someone who is of Thai, Cambodian, Sri Lankan, Mongolian, Laotian, or Myanmarian origin saw this, they may be able to identify the name. I don't think it's a typical "American" name but the bleed ink on the tattoo certainly doesn't help.

I'm referring to her as "Indigenous Doe." It makes me so sad that all of the media outlets are just calling her, "Unidentified Female."

Her tattoo makes me wonder if she's South Asian and not indigenous American.

Or whoever she knew maybe was of SE Asian descent. The sketch they did of her really isn't that great.

I'm starting to question if the "Musical Note" tattoo is actually a music note. If it is, it's backwards.

 

[shanae]

I realized a little bit ago that, if that is a musical note, it's backwards. Or maybe it's not a note? Thoughts?

 

[AzPistonsGirl]

she is 5'1" and wears a size 11 women's shoe?

ETA: never mind, it's size 11 pants - but she was wearing cleats???? That's a little odd IMO

I was thinking maybe stylized initials made to look like a musical note? (Maybe VL)?

The newer info says they weren't cleats, they were slides.

I think whoever was the tattoo artist may be able to help identify her if they can recognize the tats/their work.

I have seen some speculation that the V might be from the Zodiac Sign Capricorn. But then I am unsure about the music-looking note symbol. I do agree that the V does look like the zodiac symbol, but then that is only half of the symbol I think so then what is the other piece? Maybe it symbolizes two people? I have not seen much coverage on this one, but I would think the tattoo artist would recognize these.

Just Google street viewed the location they gave where she was found and a huge unhouse encampment in that section, photo says 2021 so I wonder what is there now, If you move around a bit you can see at different times different encampments pop up. I hope they are able to figure out who she is.

My bad, you are totally right. I didn’t look closely enough and got thrown by the Ridgefield addresses. I’m not sure I understand the question - why go farther as in beyond Ridgefield, or why go as far as Ridgefield to begin with? I meant why go farther than the areas I mentioned to where she...

I'm starting to question if the "Musical Note" tattoo is actually a music note. If it is, it's backwards.

I wonder if it is a monogram - V/L with the L being stylized as a music note ?
