Can't drag the picture here (one of these days I'll get this laptop fixed!) but what about Melinda Creech? It looks like Namus revised the age to 20-35. This would put Melinda at the low end of that in 1985....

Wow. I think Melinda really looks like the morgue photo of JD, especially in the two far left pics. She went missing in 1979 but it sounds like she was a runaway and could have led a transient lifestyle.
Pros:
She had pierced ears
She had previously fractured her lower arm; JD had a surgical scar on her forearm
Height and weight are right on
Olive Branch looks like a relatively straight shot on major highways, which could work if she hitchhiked.
Cons:
At lowest end of age range
Listed as Hispanic--would an ME be able to tell if JD had Hispanic heritage?
Acc to Namus, JD had her tubes tied, which seems unlikely for a 19 yr old.
MC had blue eyes. JD had either brown or gray, but blue and gray can be similar
