I think its very possible that this is Phyllis Corbin. It is known that Corbin was in New Orleans in 1965 and theirs evidence that shows she may have been alive later than that date possibly into the mid 70s. We have nothing for her in the 80s onwards so I think its possible that she died in the mid 70s sometimes as a Jane Doe.. Records for her are essentially none existent even from the New Orleans PD standpoint which raises eye brows. I believe that she is likely UP6942 having died in the late 70s due to the lifestyle that she was involved in the 60s and likely stayed with until her passing. The age range adds up 18-25. This UP does not have DNA yet. However, the LSU Faces Lab is planning to run it again this year. Only the mandible (the teeth exist) the rest of the remains were cremated.
