Could Fred Howard Coffey, Jr. be connected with Marcia's disappearance?

Fred had connections to Virginia Beach, VA. He lived there in 1974 while still on active duty with the Navy, and in that year abducted and raped a 13 year old girl there. For this he was denied another enlistment hitch.

He moved for a while to Maryland, and upon his return to Virginia Beach, he was arrested and charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor with a 15 year old girl.

Marcia Estelle Remick went missing on 9 June 1979. While it is not known where Fred was at that time, he is known to have been in Charlotte, NC by the 18th of July 1979, murdering a little 10 year old girl named Amanda Ray.

Marcia's photo is shown age-progressed to 51 years. (AP completed 2/14/14)

CASE NUMBER - 20UFNJ. Thoughts? I especially thought the last photo had a strong resemblance. Also, the shoes that were found look like what a girl who lives at the beach would wear on a daily basis.

Dennis Bowman, a Naval Reservist from Michigan murdered Kathleen O'Brien Doyle in Virginia Beach in 1980. In 2019, he was arrested, tried and convicted of her murder.

He now stands accused of murdering his own adopted daughter, Aundria Bowman in 1989.

Could this serial killer have been involved in Marcia's disappearance?
