This case is heartbreaking. .The fact that she had all that Vanderbilt gear makes you wonder if she was a student or just a fan trying to blend in at those events. The genetic testing narrowing down potential family names is promising though. Someone out there has to recognize her or know something. I really hope they identify her soon.
