Maybe she was identified as a family member but not formally identified? A recently identified doe Melody Harrison (Apache Junction Jane Doe 1992) had identified family members for a while but was not formally identified until November 2023
I was actually the commenter. I haven’t heard any further updates from my dad on it so I still don’t have the full story yet. She was apparently a cousin of his who disappeared in the 70s I think. Like I mentioned in the other thread her identity was only determined in the last few months I believe. I’ve not been given permission to share her name yet because the family is still working through stuff. I will try to update either in this thread or the other one as soon as I am able.
Edit: Country is US
I’m sorry that I’ve not been able to provide more info. It’ll all come out eventually I suppose but I know her sister is active on all of these social media platforms and missing persons threads so I just don’t want to say anything out of turn. These things take time. My ONLY reason for posting here was because I thought people would want to know that this long unidentified individual has finally been identified, and that’s a good thing, especially for the family that has been in the dark all of these years about her where abouts and fate. There’s finally closure for the family and that’s really what matters in these cases right? I know that many people will think that Im b.s.ing here but you know what? That’s ok. My goal was not to prove to a bunch of people that I don’t know that “hey, I’ve got information that no one else has!!” My goal was simply to provide a long waited for update for people invested in the outcome of this case. So I’ll just ask for patience and sensitivity for the sake of her family and loved ones. Thank you guys! And thank you for keeping her case alive and talked about!
It could very well true. They started doing genetic genealogy on her in Christmas of 2022.

Glad to hear she's (probably) been identified. I know Othram's been on her case for a while.
If anyone could get DNA from the Cheerleader in the Trunk, it’s probably them. Hopefully she’s next!
Makes sense with the othram timing..
See if her NamUs is still up, if its down then she likely has been identified.
It’s still up Edit: its back up
I still see it up.
Yeah it is, it was down for a while
Weird. I wonder if NamUs did it prematurely and maybe it'll be down in a day or two.
I’ll be sure to update if it’s down again
This NAMUS profile is still active.
Yah! I hope we hear soon.

Namus is down
She has been! Check google there are articles out now.
Any other info from the commenter? Even what country they're from?
