The "CE" inside the ring might mean the diamond is a clarity enhanced one. But it could also be a maker's mark of some kind, or something else completely. I was unable to find anything definitive online.

This case seems solvable, folks. I'll speculate she's been reported missing by now and that she's missing from another state. Wonder if she's a candidate for genetic geneology?

Looking at women missing in 1995 and prior to May 1996. There is one from Ohio who went missing in 1995. I won't write out her full name because it seems unlikely but just in case:
