I thought you might be angling in that direction. I also was caught up short because there's not a long space of time between August when she was killed and when the body was found. There would have been much more time for the remains to deteriorate if she'd been killed in June. In my head, over the years, I'd been imagining the remains were in the woods much longer.I was reacting to these two articles.

Son of 'Granby Girl,' ID'd Monday, recalls last memory before mother's 1978 disappearance
Police identified a woman found dead in the woods of Granby in 1978 as Patricia Ann Tucker, a drifter who left her son at an orphanage that year.www.masslive.com
In the first one, the DA says confidently that she was killed in June.
In the second one, her son describes her saying goodbye to him, and leaving him. And his biological father picks him up the next day, and raises him.
So when I posted that comment, I didn’t think that those two stories were compatible with the August date. Since then, the August date seems to have won.
