Bertha Gould has not yet been considered as a possibility for this JD. It is a bit of a stretch since the UID was found in NC and the other Hohenberger victims were found in LA. He was reported to have been in Florida at some point. Could he have fled to NC and then back to Tacoma between May 11th and May 31st?
The physical descriptions are not too far off. PMI is within range. Bertha would be on the low end of estimated age but still within range.
Bertha was reported to have been wearing blue jeans and a printed pullover style shirt which matches the UID clothing.
Jeans(blue) w/slightly ragged apparently cut-off bottoms; hooded shirt or sweater, knit type w/very short sleeves and horizontal colored stripes.
The short sleeved pullover knit sweater has a printed pattern on the front and not just stripes.
Just throwing this out there as something to consider. The photos below do have some similarities in facial structure and features.
