PA PA - Philadelphia, Schuylkill River, WhtFem 30-60, UP16623, Fur Hat, Lord & Taylor Skirt, Mar'68

I had no idea What chucka Boots are so Iam assuming it's a typo. And it's Cukka?. That's the only thing I found in men's 1950 vintage style shoes. Below is attached image. Also I have been looking for the other label names mentioned. It's a shame they don't mention which piece of clothing had which label.

Should be Chukka boots. I had some like the 2 attached pics in the late 60s-early 70s. Loved them! The news article when she was first found was really sparse but said that she had one overshoe. Thinking they didn't know what a Chukka boot was.

With the clothing that was found on her I'm guessing either she was a drag king,a trans male or some sort other type of crossdresser

This was 1968.I do not think society was that welcoming of people who dress a certain way
 
Whoop

Whoops I forgot that she was found with a skirt.there goes the crossdressingng theory
 
Yeah I know.. or unless she was reported locally in some small town far away from where she was found Or had no family and was never reported? . I don't know she just seems likes someone would know her.

It's not mentionedthat they thought she was homeless or anything like some reports mentón on UIDs . So IAM assuming her clothing did not look worn out in the conditions of someone that worn them daily w out washing like a homeless person would. Or if the shoe soles were all worn out.

Between the long skirt and the long hair I keep wondering if it could be Maria. The Nose is slightly different but like someone said it could have been broken sometime after she disappeared .
Iam back thinking it could be Maria too looking at the side by side her mouth is very similar thinner upper lip. Also she was photographed with those long skirts
 
I came across this ad in 1967 for a fur hat similar to the one Jane Doe was wearing. It seemed to to be a fashionable hat for the time which now makes me think maybe the woman was not homeless but perhaps eccentric...someone out there was missing her. just my thoughts..

I wish there was some way to find out the name of the woman in the Philly mugshot..
 
I came across these sweaters by the label named DeLoux. They seem to be cashmere sweaters

I also came across a vintage “walking suit” which is not what we would think as in jogging suit or track suit. It’s much more tailored and dressy. Which would fit the era. People used to dress up more back then. Includes a matching coat skirt and inner jacket. Makes me wonder if the walking suit had the Lord and Taylor label .

And let me just say, this is the worst recon I've ever seen. I'm not surprised she's never been identified if that's the image they're using!

OMG your not kidding. I was talking about that with my friend!!. Like what is this and Never Mind the lovely shade of green skin color! :D

yeah everybody has a strange Green Lady with a hat that lives on their block! Hahah
