I agree with all that, but Hardin was the only man who showed up missing from Linn County in 2011, and the article said the remains were male.
eta: does anybody have a pointer to the female remains being found? I'm not finding it; my mind is not working too well what with the covid-19 stress and all. Some days I can't even type.
Hm, I didn't check neighboring areas, though. BRB.
