Have any of these matches been submitted. I saw a message from 2017 saying Rory was but I haven't seen anything about the other 3
It's possible they were submitted, but there aren't any posts specifically saying they have been. They're not listed as exclusions which may not mean a much. Apparently not all rule outs are listed as is the case with Dorothy Ann Bois.

I just spoke w OCME. If I understood correctly It seems like LE is in charge of that case. I told OCME that I'll contact Namus to see if they can get it updated.

Ran her photo through Remini - I definitely see a resemblance. (Not sure what the program did to her mouth)
 
Brattleboro VT and Marlborough NH are just 30 miles apart even today the Bus only costs $9.00
The deceased was definitely dressed like someone with donated or 'state issued' clothing.
