Welcome!
According to NamUs, she's been ruled out:
https://identifyus.org/en/cases/4790
It looks like there may have been a name added recently but I can't figure out who it was.
Patricia Taylor still isn't on this list but according to her FB page she was officially ruled out already.

I wouldn't rule out her attending the Pittsburgh venue either. That was on the 21st and she was found on the 24th. If going back to Texas or Oklahoma from there, she would have traveled straight across I70. Then someone could have killed her and headed North on I75 for a short jaunt and disposed of her in Troy and got right back on 70. The next venue on the schedule was Florida and they obviously didn't head south. Pittsburgh sure fits with the industrial area that was detected on her clothing.

Small world. I lived in a tiny apartment over The Decade while attending the University of Pittsburgh, a little after the U2 show. It was in the Oakland section of town, 223 Atwood St. or thereabouts. It attracted an eclectic mix of college students and blue collar types. I just don't see her fitting in there but stranger things have happened.
Note that by the 80's Pittsburgh wasn't very industrial any more, and was rapidly moving towards the high tech and medical fields, where it is today.

I also lived briefly in Abilene, Texas years earlier. Weird to think I may have unknowingly crossed paths with her.

Boo. Given her physical condition and dental work I just so feel like this girl was loved. Even if she lived the hippie lifestyle, one would think after a few years of not hearing from her that someone would be concerned. Also, if someone close to her killed her, you would think someone would have spilled the beans by now or even a friend would have noticed she was gone. Just trying to imagine scenarios in which a young healthy girl goes missing and is possibly not reported as so.

I'm thinking she may have worked for a band management company or was a stage/road hand, not so much a concert attendee, but who knows? She could have been a groupie. That might explain the isotopes.

There are a lot of possibilities as to why someone may not be reported missing:
She might not have had any family to report her missing.
The person who should/could have reported her missing was a domestic partner who was also responsible for the disappearance, so they had an ulterior motive for not doing so.
Perhaps the family didn't consider her missing at the time because she left to strike out on their own. It wasn't uncommon to go long periods of time without hearing from someone or to lose touch with a person back before the internet. This is what happened to Reet Jurvetson. She left Montreal to go to LA to start a new life. She was killed in 1969 and was only recently identified.
Also, we can't assume BG wasn't reported missing. It's possible her family did report her missing, only investigators didn't pursue it because she was either an adult or a known runaway. I believe this was the case of Caledonia Jane Doe who turned out to be Tammy Jo Alexander.
These are just to name a few.

Yes, I find it highly unlikely there was no report for Tammy Jo/ Cali because she was on probation when she went missing. The issue is all of the records are gone.

Also if she was a minor when she left, many states required the infirmation to be purged at 18 or 21.

There are tens of thousands of old reports sitting in small and large police and sheriff's offices around the country. Tens of thousands more were destroyed in floods, fires, etc. over the years.

The family might be looking at the wrong time, in the wrong place. We've had cases where the last seen date was off, causing a match to be overlooked, and cases where the family had no idea where their missing loved one had gone. Reet, for example.

And lots of LE back then just didn't give a ***** and didn't always tell the family the truth.

Well, if she was with U2, she would be easy to track down. They were not well known at the time and were playing small venues. They could not have had a large entourage. The Decade was so small you could barely walk between the bar and the outside walls, and it had a few small tables.

Shot in the dark, but does anyone want to track down the company that ran U2's tour then?
 
Sent a message to f.b."Trace Missing Persons Ireland.", asking if they know of any one who might fit BSG's profile, and/or, who may have followed the band here, fwiw.

They had the same manager since 1979. He retired and sold his management company, which was founded in 1982, to Live Nation, in 2013:

He would probably be the person to contact, only I wouldn't know how.
 
Been thinking about BsG today, and especially the notable info that she was in "excellent physical condition", and that she traveled through the U.S. a great deal, and had quite a few scars on her body...including under her lip.

Now why would a fit person be traveling all over the U.S.? Her excellent physical condition suggests she was not homeless or working in the sex trade.
The scars don't seem as if they were obtained as a result of punishment. I took the description to suggest they were acquired through labor. So I'm going to run with that theme.
A young 20 something woman in excellent physical condition with several scars on her body who traveled all over the U.S.

I think she worked with livestock, and was traveling to livestock shows tending to the animals while in the process of being sold. Either for breeding or slaughter. The scars tend to make me think of horses. Scars from bridles, tack, etc.

But this is my theory. Fit ranch girl traveling around for livestock/ horse shows or sales.

Rodeo.

Yes. I think you are right. Rodeo is quite likely.
I think perhaps we should research where the rodeos were in the months leading up to her death, and map them against her isotope profile.

I need Foragers help on this.

I have seriously thought rodeo as well. What bugs me the most is that no one seems to be missing a young lady that appears to have been cared for.. At least physically. I know a lot of people in the rodeo business and they are usually a pretty tight knit circle. I find it hard to believe that someone would just disappear from the rodeo scene and not have one friend suspicious of this. This is just baffling. Perhaps she has been reported missing but like someone said earlier that it could be lost in some small town police station that never really looked into it because she was over 21.
Like Stephanie's disappearance, she's not even in any of the MP systems.
Very frustrating.

I inquired about the jacket. I asked if it has a label and if it is lined. I'm waiting for a reply. The same jacket is listed for sale on a few different sites but it is the same one and only jacket. Pretty rare. Circa 1960's. I wouldn't hold my breath on there being a label. But it's worth a shot. They are just so much alike to ignore.
