Are the only two that I could find

Brenda seems like a better possibility....especially given the date of disappearance, “sometime in...”. I’m always suspicious of those cases where the missing person’s vehicle was found at an airport. It almost seems like a red flag that points to a staged incident and either the person left willingly or someone responsible wanted to lead people to believe that were the case. JMO

Any thoughts on the ring? I’m having a hard time visualizing it, but could the description be unique?

Young to middle-aged woman, measured height, measured weight, not in the water long, complete set of upper dentures (12 teeth), dark hair & nude. Yet, she was wearing, presumably, a wedding ring.

I was just looking more into some of these, and I noticed our Doe was found close to an airport. Judith has the mystery airport element to her disappearance! Although still not much information and no mention of her wearing dentures. The more I look at her case though, the more I find she’s the better possibility over Brenda. (Also... is it me or does Brenda remind you of Walker County Jane Doe?!) And it looks like Judith has hair that’s closer to dark/black than Brenda’s.

Sorry, it sometimes takes me awhile to catch on to the obvious details lol

Perhaps Boone County Jane Doe is Connie Faye Gregory, missing from Hudson, Kentucky since January 23, 1980?

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Jane Doe is estimated at 5'2" and 123 lbs, while Connie Gregory is estimated at 5'0" and 120 lbs.

NamUs states that Connie Gregory was 30 years old at the time of her disappearance, while the Charley Project states that she was 21 years old. Jane Doe's age is estimated to be anywhere between 25-40 years old.

Jane Doe was found in the Ohio River in Boone County, Kentucky, while Connie Gregory disappeared from Hudson, Kentucky (though her vehicle was found in the parking lot of her workplace in Leitchfield, Kentucky). The drive from Leitchfield, KY, to the area where Jane Doe's body was discovered is about 2.5 - 3.5 hours.

Both Jane Doe and Connie Gregory have brown eyes and brown hair.

There's about a 4-month-long gap between Connie Gregory's disappearance and Jane Doe's discovery.

Very good possibility! I think it would be an easy ruleout or match based on the dentures. Definitely worth submitting! I’ll add her to the sheet (although I’m not sure anyone sees those possible matches )

Has Betty Place been suggested? Circumstances don't match up entirely but it does mention she has dentures.

The time gap is somewhat concerning, but there's also not a lot of information available on her disappearance, so who knows what could have happened. The basic statistics match, too, so I think Betty Place is a good potential match.
