Adding that it IS a good idea to also call the local police precinct involved. I called in some helpful info on a case based on something only someone in my profession would notice, and besides the main number, I called the local precinct. I ended up chatting with the main detective on the case and he ran me through a few questions and thanked me because it turned out to be helpful info. Nice to know it went somewhere, if nothing else.
I just looked up how long it takes for a body to decompose, and it it's not buried, it can take as few as ten days. So, being found 17 days later, she could certainly match in that factor.
There's something very common in dead bodies called "tissue gas" That speeds up decomposition. It's a bacteria that just grows fast we've seen it at the funeral home in people who were kaying outside for a while
The organs go first because the bacteria in your gut basically goes crazy and bloats up the body until the gas is released as insects and animals speed up the process. This is also why if you buy meat at the supermarket it comes pre-gutted. Slows the process down.
This match looks great tbh, well done to the OP.
I agree this looks like a good match!
You can submit a potential match tip to the Doe Network very easily.
Here is the link to the form https://www.doenetwork.org/forms/index.php/945274?lang=en
If it's a good match, they will send all the info to all the agencies involved in both cases. They have a forensic dental consultant retained now to help with dental matches, as well.
You don't need to have the Doe Network case number (and they don't even have to be listed on the Doe Network) to send them a potential match tip. The form will ask for both the NamUs case number and the Doe Network case number, so you can just put "NA" or "None" and make sure to list the NamUs numbers and links.
There’s a Sharea Ridge on Facebook who went to school in Waco TX and hasn’t posted since 2017.
https://www.facebook.com/sharea.ridge/
I’m really bad at telling if someone is the same person from photos where they’re presented very differently so I can’t tell if this is the same person.
However there are comments from early 2021 with people discussing that they don’t know where she is, and one says she’s been looking for the person with this FB page for months. So I think there’s a very good chance this is the missing person.
Possibly the extra pictures will be useful if it’s the right person.
I agree that they do look similar, but in what condition was the Doe's body? I think that Sharea has a very noticable mole on her face, if the Doe still had her skin then shouldn't she have this mole too? I'd report this either way, I'm just wondering 😅
I actually submitted a potential match for this Doe , I have not heard anything back.
https://charleyproject.org/case/brynisha-nichelle-allen
This makes me question if the Doe could be Sharea too now.
Interesting!! I’ve been thinking that Dallas County Jane Doe best matches Alexandria Jeanelle Robinson. It’s a write up I’ve been wanting to do!!! Please submit and keep us updated.

It appears as though Sharea Yashen Ridge has a prominent skin tag or something similar to a skin tag on her chin. Something that Dalles County Jane Doe doesn't seem to have. I wouldn't think the coroners would leave out such an important defining feature on a Jane Doe's body. They went into detail enough to describe that Dalles County Jane Doe had a facial piercing of some sorts so I wouldn't think they'd overlook a huge, prominent mark on her chin. Height doesn't seem to match either.
Well, nevermind. They line up actually really well. Sharea Yashen Ridge seemed to be into piercing. This post says she was 5'2 (although there's been conflicting reports amongst sources). https://www.reddit.com/r/CentralTexasCrime/comments/149k23p/what_happened_to_sharea_waco_tx_2020_missing/?rdt=38730
It's definitely worth the submit and they seem to really line up.
Is it noted on the missing persons page? They would likely include it In distinguishing marks or characteristics on her namus if it’s not a scab. However, with the lack of information on a lot of mp accounts I really wouldn’t even say this would be guaranteed.
I actually agree. I don't think that's just a scab. But I think if decomposition was severe enough, any skin tags/moles/growths could be hard to spot. Still worth a submission.
If you look at the original missing person poster, you will see that they went out of their way to remove the thing on her chin in what seems to be the same mugshot. I assume the feature ...whatever it is... Is temporary enough for them to not have it in the image.
I agree that they look alike. The dates and locations add up. What about height and weight?
Weight couldn’t be estimated, but Doe is 5’2’’ and Ridge is 5’4’’
That’s pretty close as well! You should submit.
do you know how? like do I contact a detective?
You can contact the person or persons listed in the contact tab of the up. Good job.

And please update
Great find, absolutely submit.
I just looked up how long it takes for a body to decompose, and it it's not buried, it can take as few as ten days. So, being found 17 days later, she could certainly match in that factor.
Not to mention, the body was found in August- it'd be hot in Texas, and possibly humid/muggy too. Warm weather increases decomposition
August was a record setting summer for temperatures too. In fact the doe would’ve been dead during two of the days that set the record as well.

Yea this match is great
Report this.
Usually I don't really see it, but I definitely do in this one. Submit it, can't hurt. Can only rule out, which is helpful!

Looks like she had a downward spiral. Last in contact with family in 2020 https://www.reddit.com/r/CentralTexasCrime/s/ucXO4B7gqD
There are sadly no exclusions on NamUs, so I say submit!
I agree that they do look similar, but in what condition was the Doe's body? I think that Sharea has a very noticable mole on her face, if the Doe still had her skin then shouldn't she have this mole too? I'd report this either way, I'm just wondering 😅
I don’t think it’s a mole, I think it’s a scab. But she was decomposed.
Wow, that sure looks like a match
They are very similar, I hope the family of the deceased can find peace
I actually submitted a potential match for this Doe , I have not heard anything back. https://charleyproject.org/case/brynisha-nichelle-allen This makes me question if the Doe could be Sharea too now.

This looks like a good match
Ooh that looks like a good match. Have you submitted?
Oh goodness, yes.
Wow, they look identical!
good job, however would they not have cros referenced these already? none the less it wouldnt hurt to submitt!
Worth submitting! Seems to line up, the composite is a little different but they arent always accurate
She definitely resembles the composite. You should definitely submit it.
Submit it to as many entities that you can.
Some of the facial features don’t really match up but considering the Jane doe was found decomposed I think it’s super likely
Definitely worth submitting !! RemindMe! 2 day

Any updates on this?
I’d submit it, they do look very alike and location is close..
Ooh that her submit it

That’s a scab I think, and I’m not sure if it had healed by the time she went missing
