I've brought her up as a potential match to Phylis Hall, missing since 1989.

Wow. That was fast, considering when I uploaded the thread. I hope this isn't one of the withheld name cases, but if it is, I understand. Did the Tennessee solved cases go up?

This also means this woman probably isn't Phylis, as her NamUs is still up.

I also noticed the other Doe I thought could be Phylis had her NamUs removed too.

There was no change at the last update, a few minutes ago.

In total there were three cases from Shelby County removed. That's a bit unusual so I was thinking maybe they are being updated or maybe a couple of them merged.. The Open cases didn't go down either, so I guess we'll see in about an hour. I really hope they've been identified.

They profiles are still up here for the next hour:

UP5254 is not on WS, it's a skull found in 1990 in Shelby County. I was thinking maybe DNA results came back and it matched to one of the other profiles removed today, as both were missing the skull IIRC.

Unfortunately the Resolved cases remained the same even though the Open cases decreased by 3. Looks like there hasn't been an identification.
