I don't have anything of value to contribute, but I wish I did. This was one of the first cases I saw on Websleuths since it was featured at the time I was really active. I check every few months. Something about her is so familiar, but I have no idea what it is. I was born in 1991 so there is no way I knew her, but I don't know why I come back.
 
What about Brenda Louise Dunham
Missing May 10, 1985 out of Alton, MO

I don't want to post local rumors from Brenda's hometown, as not sure if can be substantiated.
That being said, the topix forum below sheds light on many details of Brenda's life before disappearance.

Here are links for her:

It's interesting that she was wearing a pair of jeans with a name on it (Allison Milles). Is it possible that this was her name all along? This reminds me of another case on this site where a UID was found wearing a bra with either "Julie" or "Jubel" written on the tag. After viewing the picture, I can see why no one is sure what the name actually is. Could it be that her name is 'Miller' , 'Miles', 'Mills', or something similar and the tag is being misread as 'Milles'? And has she been searched for under any of these alternate names? I wonder if there's any way the picture of the tag could be posted on here.
 
Does anyone know if Sharon Harrer was ever submitted? She was suggested by a few of us a couple pages back.
 
Looking closely at the overlaid isotope map and the areas in red, trying to map them to area names:

extreme southwest Oregon--Cave Junction or maybe even closer to the coast.

the Shasta area of California, looks like probably Redding.

Mammoth Lakes area?

parts around southern California: Barstow-San Bernardino-Palm Springs-Salton Sea-Death Valley vicinity, into very southern Nevada

Kingman, Arizona

Several spots along the Colorado River where it makes the border between Nevada and Arizona.

most of the major cities in New Mexico. Also Antelope Wells and also a part in the extreme northeast corner just south of Trinidad, Colorado, and a spot that's out in the middle of the desert.

Oakland, Maryland; Morgantown, West Virginia; and nearby bits of southern Pennsylvania

Watertown New York/Kingston Ontario area

several spots between Syracuse and Albany, New York, and between Albany and Watertown. Probably not as far east as Albany itself though. Maybe Utica area.

There's a very small dot at what appears to be Ottawa and a larger one that seems to be near Montreal.

A number of places in the Adirondacks in upstate New York

A tiny dot in the Massachusetts Berkshires that appears to be Williamstown.

Most of central Vermont and the Lake Champlain area

The New Hampshire side of the mid-Connecticut River valley

Littleton-Lancaster area of New Hampshire

A spot in New Hampshire that looks like it could be in the vicinity of Ossipee

Spots through New Hampshire and Maine that look like they're probably along the ridge of the mountains -- it seems to be pretty close to the route of the Appalachian Trail, maybe. Very few people live in those areas. Could include Kingfield, Carrabasset Valley, some other small towns.
 
No picture that has been posted of the pants or the tag, from what I've seen, however here is some additional info on the pants from this thread:
- The jeans were apparently "Brittania Jeans"

About Brittania Jeans from a prior post to this thread by ClaireNC:
ClaireNC:
Britannia was a popular "teen" brand in the late 1970's, they were sold in higher end department stores like Bloomingdale's or Macy's. (The brand was later bought by Levi's and they became a less expensive brand, sold in places like K-Mart, but that wasn't until the late 1980's/early 1990's.) I wonder if their popularity was regional in the late 1970's? I know they were popular in the US northeast. Could we pinpoint the general geographic area through were those jeans were popular?

The fact that the jeans were Britannia brand, and the name tag make me think that the jeans came from a teenager. (And likely a teenager that went to sleep away summer camp.) If that's the case, they were probably donated to a charity or thrift store. (As people here have already concluded.)

I used to wear Brittania jeans after we moved to New England. I was in my early-to-mid twenties at the time. I don't recall whether I heard of them before. I bought them at a high-end independent department store in Connecticut.

It is interesting that the isomap includes portions of Maryland.
This may be more evidence that Jane Doe might be Billie Hall, who is missing out of Jessup, Maryland.

See Billie Hall's Namus profile here: https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/1726/24
img_2251.jpegimg_7684.jpeg

From Billie Hall's namus profile "Billie left Jessup (Maryland) in a Datsun Mini Motor Home on February 28, 1985. She was planning on attending a biker convention in Daytona Beach, Florida. She was expecting to be away for about two weeks. After four weeks, no one had heard from Billie and she was officially reported missing. In August 1985 her motor home was recovered in Cameron, Louisiana."

Back in 2012, a webslueths member named chaddylex contacted the investigator for Billie Hall and asked that this Jane Doe be submitted for comparison.
See below the post from chaddylex about the response she received from the investigator:
Chaddylex:
In reference to comparison with billie hall: I received this email back from Pamela Reid (Billie Hall's investigator).

Thank you for contacting us. I know this potential match has been suggested several times over the years. I would like a definitive exclusion to post so that we do not keep returning to this because the time, location and demographics does make it an appealing comparison.

The investigator seems to think that Billie Hall was a possibility in her book, and that a decision confirming or excluding Jane Doe as being a match had not been made.

It's my understanding that there was no DNA from Jane Doe to compare to Billie Hall back in 2012. Given that there is now DNA from Jane Doe, and a possible isomap connection, should Billie Hall's investigator be contacted again?

P.S: if Billie Hall has been officially ruled out, and I am just missing information please let me know.
 
Jessup isn't in the part of Maryland the isotope map points to, though. The map indicates the western end of the panhandle, on the other side of the Appalachians.

Is the isomap for the last 8 to 10 years before death?
Maybe there is information out there regarding where Billie Hall grew up, or where she lived prior to her disappearance?
Perhaps Jessup is her last known location; she may have travelled through Jessup on her way to get on 1-95 in route to Daytona Beach.

I would think Billie's medical hardware would rule her out--there's no mention of any such thing on the deceased woman.

p.s. yes, 8 to 10 years. Her doenetwork page has quite a bit of information: http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/522ufga.html
 
You are probably right.
There is not much information out there on the internet about Billie Hall.

Would there have been an autopsy since there was no doubt the cause of Jane Doe's death.
Given the potential cost would a hospital automatically perform an xray back in '85?
Newton, GA is a TINY town, to this date i believe there is only one cop, maybe two (the population was 610 in 2014).

Yes, they would have likely used a state medical examiner in Macon.
 
Checking to see if there is any new info out there.
