I'm going to explain. 
I think it’s helpful to know how things work to try and make more appropriate matchesSorry, if I have created confusing.
Upthread you said "all of New England combined has about 30 unidentified remains, compared to MA’s 186".
At this day there are 293 UID's profiles entered in Namus for New England as a total. I included MA, Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Hamphire and Connecticut. I'm from abroad, so I'm depending on Wiki here. MA is counting 189 profiles at the moment. So minus MA there are 104 UID's entered for the other states, belonging to New England.
My line of thinking related to my question about other databases was:
MA has 189 unidentified persons entered in Namus. I believe they are pretty up to date, but what if there are more unidentified persons found in MA, then the ones entered in Namus. Where could the public find them or even know they exist. Are there other databases in use? The same thing applies for the other states.
Charley Project doesn't list unidentified persons, only missing persons.
All and all this is not going to help in identifying the lady in the dunes. So let's move on
So has Charlotte Erdman been ruled out as the lady in the dunes? She was only reported missing in 2019 in the middle of a pandemic so I doubt it.Sorry, if I have created confusing.

They say that they don’t think it’s related to the man in the dunes case but how many people do they think are leaving torsos on cape cod? Man in the dunes is still UID as well. That was in 2011 I believe
Estimated age was 20-49, dob estimated 1925-1954. Charlotte was 15 (10/21/58). There isn’t that much of a difference between a 15 and a 20 year old female biologically. Autopsy is not an exact science and there are always some subjective determinations made.
Under normal circumstances, I would agree but She was in the dunes in the middle of july for an estimated week or two and she suffered severe facial trauma as well. Estimating that a 15 year old is well into their 20's is hardly a stretch
Yes I agree. Her dentals are quite unique. It would be an easy rule out. I don't think there have been many comparisons. Is there a rule out list?
I think one side of her head was crushed with a military entrenching tool. Her dentals were still good though. I just prefer broad strokes when it comes to age. Depending on the ME and the county, even the paperwork can vary. Some might have checked boxes with pre-determined age ranges. Some might let them write it in, or there may be something in the narrative that leads you to believe the person is either in the older or younger end of that age range. Assessment can often be subjective which is why I think reading the actual physician notes is always helpful for me.
Im wondering the same thing. How accurate are those cases
