15 ruleouts - mostly from AZ but also elsewhere. No possible COD listed but how would she have ended up in a wash, in her sleepwear if there wasn't foul play?

Namus was updated 27 October but I can't see what was altered. Still the same ruleout list that is posted above.

Namus was updated again 13 March 2023 - still the same 15 ruleouts listed two posts above.

She could have had some health condition, passing in her sleep. And her caregiver or family member buried her along the trail and is probably still collecting the social security money for her.

I do not understand the huge age range. You can easily tell if someone is 21 or 70, even if you only have a few bones. They must have at least a skull, it is one of the bones with the most obvious age determinants. Granted, it can be hard to tell someone in their 50s from someone in their 70s, depending on individual ageing and underlying conditions but you can always tell someone in their 20s from someone middle aged.

Noting the 2014 recon was very different to the 2019 one posted above.

Honestly, not really. Other than hairstyle and aging, the facial features & proportions are almost exactly the same.

Her case was updated in Namus a few days ago. Not sure if this was just added, but I notice she has a Cold Case Investigator listed as her case officer now (John Shannon, Cold Case Investigator, Yavapai County Sheriff's Office).
