recon photos edit

Some recon photos of "Julie" elsewhere having her looking much more "cisgender female" than techniques in the 1980s would have been *realistically* able to achieve. The one here shows the reality that she would have still looked a lot like a man. PAustin4thApril1980 (talk) 06:37, 24 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

Agree that aside from the rhinoplasty (which may have been part of transitioning, but also could have been to treat the same facial trauma that fractured her cheek) it is unlikely this UID had extensive facial reconstruction surgery. The artist that made the most common "softer" image, Carl Koppelman, is widely recognized. However, as the official reconstruction issued by LE is the one currently on the page and the other attempts are easily accessible by Google, I see no reason to add them here. One consideration when examining it, however, is that Julie likely wore makeup, and the sketch shows how she would have looked without it. 99.144.181.169 (talk) 11:01, 22 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Better source for information from article in Daily Kos edit

I am the writer of that article, as well as the person maintaining a Facebook page for Julie (the lead investigator on the case is also an administrator there).

Some of the sources I used, such as the original missing persons report, are now missing from the Internet or would need to be found via archive dot org. I did attempt to link as many sources as I could for my article. However, even archived things like the original MP report are probably not the type of sources acceptable to Wikipedia.

The best formal article about her case is probably the ones written by Cristal Hayes, for the Orlando Sentinel. She wrote the original article about the DNA discovery, and has had the most access to official law enforcement sources. Using one of those many articles for a source instead of the Kos article I wrote to try to get attention to her case.

Thank you, all, for helping ensure she has a presence on Wikipedia. Someone knows her. Aside from the current attempts at genealogical identification, the best way to help is to ensure the person who knows her sees her. A college student in another part of my state remembering an elderly lady and then seeing the reconstruction solved the case of Goldie Thornsberry. Someone WILL see Julie and remember her. Thank you for helping ensure she won't be forgotten. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:9E10:BD40:11CF:9025:3D0A:23E6 (talk) 18:14, 21 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
