How about Sherry Bynum missing from Colorado Springs CO on August 9, 1987 - UID was found Sept 21, 1987
She was 30 when she went missing
Height is close, Weight is close
No mention of Sherry having a tattoo
Colorado Springs to Marion County KS is almost a straight shot on Interstate 70 (thinking truck driver, serial killer)

I also found this article about the UID

Finnegan estimated the age of the woman to be between 22 and 30 years old. She was white, 5 feet, 8 inches tall, and weighed between 115 and 130 pounds. She had brown hair. Her left forearm had a cross-shaped tattoo with four marks radiating from the axis of the cross. Based on the decomposition of the body, Finnegan believed the homicide occurred sometime between June 21 and Aug. 10.
Childs said the woman likely was killed outside the county and brought here to conceal the crime.
Armed with this information and dental records, investigators went to work paring down a list of 350 missing person reports compiled by KBI that were similar to the victim. In less than two weeks, they eliminated 285 of them.
One possible match was extremely close, but additional analysis by Marion dentist D.K. Schroeder ruled it out. No matches were found in the KBI list, but the sheriff’s department and KBI continued to receive missing person inquiries from law enforcement agencies around the country.

What do you think? Should I turn this one in?
I have a copy of Sherry Bynum's dental chart. There are numerous irreconcilable inconsistencies to this Jane Doe:
For example, SB was missing her upper teeth 2, 13, and 15, and her lower tooth #31. Those teeth were all present on the Jane Doe.
SB also had a root canal on #20 - Not noted on the Jane Doe
Regarding Fillings (common filled teeth are marked black bold, irreconcilable inconsistencies are marked in red, and inconsistencies not technically irreconcilable are marked in blue)
SB had fillings in her upper teeth 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14, and her lower teeth 18, 19, and 20.
The Jane Doe had fillings in her upper teeth 8, 10, 14, 15, and her lower teeth 18, 19, 20, and 30
The Jane Doe had fillings in her upper teeth 8, 10, 14, 15, and her lower teeth 18, 19, 20, and 30
SB also had all four wisdom teeth (1, 16, 17, and 32) present. The Jane Doe was missing her upper wisdom teeth (1 and 16), and her lowers were still present. Not technically irreconcilable because they could have been removed after her last known dental appointment (in July 1986), but it is inconsistent.
