Jeans that size indicate a petite, thin female somewhere between 80 and 100 lbs.
Using size chart from school uniform chart.

I added the Physical Description which is all Unknown. Here is a recent case that I am having trouble finding media coverage for. I hope she can get her name back but I wonder if she has not been reported missing as her jeans like @Irishknit have mentioned are for a child but can fit a very petite adult. I am still trying to find some good matches, but maybe she is someone who has not been reported missing.

The remains being close to the roadway makes me think it was an acquaintance or boyfriend that dumped her.

With the jeans being chid sized and wearing a bracelet with 'besties' on it, could this be a teen instead of someone 30+ years old?

Possibly but the ME seems to think that it is someone older than 30. Most of the African American women missing in GA that are over 30 do not fit the profile of this UID. There are a couple of younger ones that do. I also wonder if she was not reported missing which could make this case harder to solve.

As a short adult, I've been guilty of accidentally buying 'child-sized' secondhand clothing - I wouldn't discount her age based on it.

I am not sure if this is a good match due to her wearing a child's size 14 jeans. That would indicate a very petite woman at under 100 lbs. Though possible if she lost a ton of weight while being missing.

Ashiyah Bradley? I cannot find any additional info about her. And she’s 18, but I too feel like it may be someone younger than 30

Here is a reconstruction of DeKalb Co Jane Doe (2023) done by the talented GBI artist Kelly Lawson. For some unknown reason it is not posted in the Jane Doe's NamUs listing.

Her jeans are Wonder Nation, a Walmart private label that was only introduced in 2018: WALMART UNVEILS NEW PRIVATE LABEL APPAREL BRANDS IN EFFORTS TO COMPETE WITH TARGET, AMAZON

Wearing kids 14 pants makes me think this doe was of slight/slim stature - they're from Walmart which also has a Women's section with small pants, but kids pants are cut straighter. There's no weight listed for her so just trying to come up with any other info for search criteria.

Highland Road is a 0.4 mi road off of Covington Highway that dead ends in a cul-de-sac by a small church. It starts out residential, with single family homes not too far from the road, but then there's woods just past that, before you get to the church. When I "walk" down it in Google street view, there's a sign advising no dumping, so this may be a known area for disposing of trash, etc. This bit of Covington Hwy is just off of I-285, which rings the city of Atlanta.
