We've been officially told that she had no identifiable accent, but who knows, maybe someone else might detect an accent. I would think that if they had any remaining letters, cards, post cards, emails, etc. you might be able to detect some "regionalisms" in her writing. Maybe in the future her in-laws or the detective might be able to release those types of things if they are available.
I wish a list of requests could be made to the family and the investigator(s) for copies of items or additional information about FLEK.
"No identifiable accent" is also an accent! There used to be a lot of TV/radio voices from the upper Midwest out to Nebraska because they sounded kind of generic. Think of Johnny Carson. And you are right, there are bound to be regionalisms of some kind in anyone's writing or speech. I am sure the SSA investigator has tried this.
