missing person female Washington Oregon California
15 to 45 year old White
Hispanic/Latino Female
Date found October 13, 2010

Circumstances: Unknown. Incomplete remains discovered by a civilian searching for mushrooms in a wooded area of Joint Base Lewis-McChord (exclusive federal jurisdiction).

​https://www.namus.gov/UnidentifiedPersons/Case#/9978
The US Army Criminal Investigation Command is offering a $15,000 reward for information about a Jane Doe found  in Training area 9 of Joint Base Lewis-McChord  Washington 98433 (Pierce County).

On October 13, 2010, the skull of an adult female, approximately 25-40 years old, was
discovered in the vicinity of Spanaway McKenna Highway (WA 507) and Pacific Avenue
South (WA 7) inside of Training Area 9. After an extensive search of the area by CID and
other law enforcement agencies, only a skull and several vertebrae were recovered at the
scene. The rest of the victim’s remains have never been found.

CID wants to stress the most identifiable and notable feature that may lead to the identity of the deceased is a defect of unknown origin on the victim’s front tooth on the lower jaw (pictured above). Although important, the facial reconstruction pictured above is a recreation based on all available forensic evidence and may not be an exact likeness of the deceased. The victim’s race is still unknown at this time, and it is possible that the victim could have been of a mixed ancestry. The Office of the Armed Forces Medical Examiner estimates the victim to have died between April and June of 2010. ​

The testing revealed the victim may have spent her childhood/adolescence and the last ten years prior to her death in Oregon or California.

Unidentified Missing Person California Arizona
Unidentified Missing Person California Arizona
26 to 32 year old White Male

Located on October 17, 1997 in Mt. Veeder, Napa County, California

Circumstances of Recovery:  Skeletal remains found on a secluded hillside residence while property was being surveyed for new owner. Scene appeared to be at least 10 to 15 years old. Skeletal remains spread out over 100 feet on hillside down a deertrail. Evidence of animal bites to skull. Ruger Bearcat .22 caliber revolver discovered under body. Gun traced to burglary in Arizona. Smirnoff Vodka bottle and Budweiser Beer cans also on scene. Dates on bottle and cans were lotted to 1981. 22 caliber ammo found in a handmade leather backpack. Single gunshot wound found on the right side of head. Lower jaw missing. Numerous bones found but not a complete skeleton. Totality of circumstances during investigation led investigators to believe that this was a suicide by handgun.
​
He had gold fillings in six of his teeth. This extensive, expensive dental work. This type of dental work makes them believe the man was affluent or in the military.

Possible connections to: Phoenix, Arizona area and Horse riding
