The original NamUs review retains a September 2, 1977 departure and a later reported observation written 9/3/77, with shortened-year and person-event questions unresolved. This NCMEC frame does not infer the later date’s century, identify a witness or settle the final contact date. The original question remains unresolved. NCMEC’s own wording explicitly dates the last-seen event. Its header is shown separately; both frames come from the same response. This guide infers no current case outcome.
