ActualInteresting observation. Did you actually go there or was it a virtual trip?
The Charley Project case was updated on 6 Feb 2022. Not much was added, but it bumps up her case on the site.
Eddy Milta Segall – The Charley Project
I think the rumor at the time was that she was associated with some bad people. I think they would have been more or less local--probably hung around certain areas of Manchester, which is the mill town to the north.
Eddy had apparently moved north to get away from that life. Southern New Hampshire at the time was a booming area with lots of employment opportunities. I seem to recall that she was either working as a secretary, or taking classes to become a secretary, or something along those lines.
Here's roughly the location where her car was found: Google Maps It's still pretty isolated and was even moreso at the time.
Here's a possible route from where she was living to Pennichuck Square, to where her car was found. Google Maps Several of the roads shown on this map weren't there in 1977. State Route 101A is now lined with businesses and housing complexes, but at the time, it was mostly farmland and woodland.
Wheeler Road is a plausible route for someone traveling from Pennichuck Square to downtown Hollis or continuing on into Massachusetts.
One more rule out to add to post #63. There are now a total of 12 UP exclusions:

I know I am responding very late, but I have been doing a lot of research on NH murders/cold cases/disappearances and I'm also a genetic genealogist and have worked on a couple of cases. I know you are in touch with the family and you feel that the father of Eddy's chlid is not involved-are there any explanations for the quick marriages and death of his second wife who was very young? I am just curious.I forgot to mention due to being distracted by COVID and ongoing current events (everything's gone nuts!)
I was recently in touch with Eddy's remaining family. The purpose of reaching out was to let them know about the new developments with DNA testing and tracking if they were not currently aware, and to understand their perspectives and desires regarding the case.
For confidentiality purposes, and due to the desire for privacy from her family, I will not issue names - but for the sake of stating facts so all who look into this case are aware, Eddy's child is alive and well - naturally, now an adult - and was involved in the investigation periodically along with Eddy's ex-husband (with the details I was given, I think it is safe to conclude he had no involvement in her disappearance). They were not apprised of the new developments with DNA testing, but considering how much time has passed there was precaution on whether to further pursue the case and open old wounds in fear of again hitting a dead end.
One family member, who is still keeping an eye on the case's progression, is caught between the perspectives that either Eddy ran away (again), or was murdered and the body never located. They encouraged any sleuths to continue searching nonetheless and if any progress is made on our part or LE, there of course still lies a curiosity in where Eddy's path ultimately concluded and a willingness to assist as necessary. Otherwise they have understandably taken steps away to carry on with their lives.
Overall, a very informative (and unexpected!) discussion and one I thought was very important to disclose here. Here's hoping we can still find Eddy someday if only to know where her story led.
I looked up Reservation Road/Thurston and saw that this was a female UID found in Washington State, quite a distance from New Hampshire. NAMUS did not indicate anything about DNA. Where did you see DNA data on the WA case? Time frame may be a possible, along with age, but distance is an issue. IMO Eddy may be deep in the woods; there are so many wooded, unpopulated areas in NH that can hide a body.Hmm. Match to Reservation Road / Thurston Jane Doe? Shattered skeletal parts found in 1980, clearly fully Ashkenazi Jewish genetic signature, correct age. A stretch but there are not many missing Jewish women from that timeframe.
But we really need basic DNA ethnicity testing on every UID that we can. Not only to bring Eddy home, but everyone. Too many UID are not Idd because of wrong ethnicity estimates.
The DDP Project posted her genetic makeup in their spreadsheet.I looked up Reservation Road/Thurston and saw that this was a female UID found in Washington State, quite a distance from New Hampshire.

I think like you, sad but in my opinion Eddy is in that wood, unfortunately.Eddy may be deep in the woods; there are so many wooded, unpopulated areas in NH that can hide a body.
