I found one possibility.
Did they say what leg had the plate?
Melanie Metheny
West Virginia
21 years old
Missing since July 2006
Surgical scar on right ankle, plate and two screws
https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/418/3
I contacted Leanne's FB Find page Admin. She had posted about it and her frustration getting info from Everett PD.
Left leg, unfortunately:
A forensic anthropologist determined that the victim was:
Female, between 26-52 years old
The ancestry could not be determined, but she was likely white
She was estimated to have been between 5 feet 1 inches tall and 5 feet 9 inches tall
Evidence of prior medical injuries and treatments for the victim included:
External fixation medical plate on the lower left leg bone indicating a prior break
Nose shows signs of previous fracture and remodeling
Teeth show that there had been tooth loss and restorations
Clothing found with the remains include:
Sporto boots, ankle height, Daria style, size 10M
Long-sleeved white T-shirt
Cocoa Vintage brand black, fleece sweat pants, size small

Thanks for cluing me in, I didn't see that in the first article I read.External fixation medical plate on the lower left leg bone indicating a prior break-carbuff
Charley reads that Melanie's surgical scar was on her left ankle, not sure which source is correct, though.
It also looks like they have a POI in Melanie's case, but no evidence to link him to her disappearance.

Bumping my own earlier pist with map and commentary about the location.

As far as I can tell, Sporto doesn't make the Daria style boot any more, and Sporto itself might not be around. They're ankle high, possibly insulated rubber boots, along these lines (note I'm not positive this is exact same style): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Womens-Spor...809058?hash=item4b04c8b2e2:g:0CgAAOSwVL1WCGvw
Around New England, people usually wear heavy wool or fleece socks with them, so she might have had a size larger to accommodate that.

I find it interesting, too, since they stated that they don't believe she was brought in from another location, which I took to mean she didn't come in with an outside load of gravelIt looks to me that the whole area where the gravel is located is fenced off. Interesting that someone got in there to dump her.
I agree.I am 5 foot 2 and wear a 9. A friend of mine is 5 foot 7 and wears a 5 in kids. So i dont think we should focus on shoe size too much.

I'm 5' 5" and I get a 1/2 to a whole size larger in winter and hiking boots - which means I often get a size 10M. I think it just sounds larger than they really look.
10M means 10 medium, not men's.
Somewhat large for a woman who's under 5 ft 7 or so, MOO. (says the woman who is 5 ft 9 and wears a 9.5)
Did any of the news coverage mention tattoos?
No, no mention either way of tattoos. Since they think she had been buried for a while, they probably couldn't tell.
