I looked on NAMUS and this woman seems like the closest match.

Shirley Hyman

Shirley Hyman has been missing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania since August 28, 1981. She was last seen getting into a blue van with two men. The height and weight are only slightly off. An according to NAMUS she has 8 scars on her upper torso. The only issue is that Shirley's bottom row teeth are in a V-Shape. Is a possible a forensic investigator or coroner may have over looked that when examining a body.

I'm not sure if it's a good enough match to submit.

 

[b741ma]

Whoops. I'm sorry. Shirley's already been ruled out.

Namus was updated for this UID in January 2023. No public ruleouts listed.

Her record was recently updated in Namus again. I hope LE have reached out to Othram, who have ID multiple other VA UID.
