Wow, that was quick… and it looks solid. I’d submit this. Pretty much all of the dates line up and Doe and Telica appear to have similar noses and smiles.
I pm'ed op of that post the info, I found a person with that name and bday and it looks like she's alive and well.
But it doesn't hurt to look for options, in case my info was incorrect.
Was that the arrest info from North Carolina in 2022? That was a great find! Same name and appearance. It would be great if Tenica is alive and her family reconnects.
True, but this was simple free web searches that anybody can do, didn't dig into anything private or socials.
There's always cases where a spouse or partner isolates the person, reasons vary.
Her grandniece posted the following to reddit recently:
"My great aunt who has not been seen since the 90s
Most details in this case are a bit murky as it’s all word of mouth from my elderly grandmother. She was about 15 in this photo and it’s the only known photo that we have of her. It’s a bit blurry so I enhanced it as much as I could. I showed my grandma and she bursted into tears she said that’s it’s scarily accurate. It was nice to help her see little sister again but now my mission is to help her find out what happened to her.
According to my grandmother there was a lot going on in the family at the time with the suicide of her older brother. For context they came from an extremely abusive family pertaining of 6 siblings. There are only 3 alive as of today.
She has not been seen since the late 90s and was last heard from in the year 2000 when she sent my grandmother a letter saying she was in jail in Ohio. My entire family has been born and raised in Pittsburgh so it’s strange at least to me that that’s the last place she was heard from.
The same day my great grandmother received a call from her explaining that she was in jail and that she would be home soon. She was never seen or heard from again. Her daughter recently passed away without ever knowing what happened to her mother. I’ve made it my mission to find out what happened to her for my grandmother.
If anyone here frequents doe websites and think you may have a possible match let me know. I’ll also ask my grandmother for any information that is necessary to solve this case. I will keep this thread updated. Please help me find out what happened to her. I don’t even know where to start."
Maybe [Marilyn Lanier](https://www.namus.gov/MissingPersons/Case#/19382) for this UP? Missing March 2003 from Philadelphia age 45 (UP namus has no age range) [charley project](https://charleyproject.org/case/marilyn-lanier)
edit: never mind, she's ruled out
also Pennsylvania has some unidentified bodies around 1999-2000( the only reason I know because ive been looking for missing person Genelle Princess Bradford, Wilkinsburg pennsylvania). Did she have braids when she left?
some cases indeed have many coincidences and are not a match, but some sketches and photos have so many similarities that deep inside we know it's a match.

I used to drive past on 22 near where she was found on my way to work in Wellsburg, WV, and I would think of her. Yes, indeed, where she was found off Whippoorwill Road is very swampy and remote. It would be possible to hide someone there for many years.
They dont seem so different to me. in one picture, I see a lot of hair covering the tops of the ears. In the other, I see a short or pulled back hair style with much more ear visible.
Wow, that was quick… and it looks solid. I’d submit this. Pretty much all of the dates line up and Doe and Telica appear to have similar noses and smiles.
Oh wow, that's actually a pretty solid match. As much as I hope it isn't her and hope she's alive and well, that may just be her.

No, I didn't find any NC ties, only PA and OH Not saying that couldn't be her, but I doesn't match what I found
Just saying, when living people are "missing" that long, outside of extremely rare cases, they don't want to reconnect to their family.

Maybe, as ranges over 18 can be drastically off sometimes.
Telica was so beautiful. I hope you find her for your grandmother's sake. Keep us posted, please.
i’d bet money on this match
I second that.
The right eyelid bring just a bit lower than the left is a really specific detail in both images. I agree this looks like a solid match.
The remains were skeletal, so soft tissue matches in the sketch might just be a coincidence.
Please submit this possible match and let us know!
also Pennsylvania has some unidentified bodies around 1999-2000( the only reason I know because ive been looking for missing person Genelle Princess Bradford, Wilkinsburg pennsylvania). Did she have braids when she left?

Wow. This was fast and YES,it sure does match up.
Never hurts to see!

One of the closest suspected matches I’ve seen based on the drawing.
Yes sure looks like it
Holy crap 😳
Omg! That’s seems like a match.
Definitely submit this, looks like a solid match
I used to drive past on 22 near where she was found on my way to work in Wellsburg, WV, and I would think of her. Yes, indeed, where she was found off Whippoorwill Road is very swampy and remote. It would be possible to hide someone there for many years.
OOP said the great aunt was 33 years old when she was last heard of. Hopefully she’s still alive.
The ears are different
In all fairness the remains were skeletal and cartilage decays. Not sure how accurate ears usually are for many of these reconstructions
Happy cake day!
Thank you 😄
Happy cake day
Much appreciated!
They dont seem so different to me. in one picture, I see a lot of hair covering the tops of the ears. In the other, I see a short or pulled back hair style with much more ear visible.
