The State - News from March 3, 1986

Dental experts dashed hopes that New Jersey investigators had discovered the remains of a girl who ran away from her San Jose home in 1979 when she was 13. Earlier, Warren County Prosecutor Howard McGinn had expressed a belief that the San Jose girl was “Princess Doe,” the adolescent whose remains were found in a cemetery near Blairstown, N.J., in 1982--and became the first unidentified person registered with the FBI’s missing persons computer in 1983. Forensic dentists said there were too many inconsistencies to allow much hope that Princess Doe was Diane Dye of San Jose--but McGinn said the attempt to establish the identity of the remains will continue.
