Remains Found Near Dover Identified

Hmm, it says she was from Charlotte, North Carolina and was age 40, with the middle initial of C. I think that would be a different Linda than the missing woman from Seattle? Linda L. would be now 58.

I think you are correct! I will delete my post.

It looks like Linda C. Moore's remains were identified:
Identified! DE - Dover, Skeletal remains found in woods, Jun'17 - Linda Moore

Sorry for the misinformation. It won't let me edit my post.

There really isn't much info on Linda Lee Moore online. It's practically nothing. I would like to know some more about the circumstances of her disappearanc, like is she considered a runaway, victim of a crime, a late GRK victim, or did she just decide to take off and start over (just naming a few examples)?

Police Say Serial Murderer At Work In 3 Counties | The Seattle Times

Linda Moore is mentioned in this Seattle Times article.

No one is saying any of the murders since 1985 are the work of the Green River serial killer, but whoever is doing the killing shares some habits with the notorious murderer: he abducts mostly prostitutes, kills them, and leaves their bodies in rural areas.

The 12 missing women are: Virginia Rambus, 19; Diane Robbins, 13; Patricia Barczak, 19; Doris Mulhern, 21; Darci Warde, 16; Erin MacGregor, 18; Jami Sherer, 26; Deborah Wims, 31; Linda Moore, 29; Heather Kinchen, 14; Nguyet Thu Phung, 19; and Cora McGuirk, 22.

Rambus, Robbins, MacGregor, Sherer and Phung had no known connection to prostitution, said Tom Jensen, the King County detective who does much of the day-to-day tracking of the women.

Found this from the old (and archived) Green River Killer page, where Linda is listed as a possible victim:

Name: Linda Moore
Age: 30
Date of Disappearance: October 29th, 1990
Location of Disappearance: Seattle, Washington
Date Found: Never Found
Location Found: Never Found

——————————————–

Linda was born sometime in 1959 or 1960. Very little information is available. Linda had a history of prostitution.

Linda went missing on October 29th, 1990. She had disappeared from Seattle, Washington. Linda has never been found.

Linda is included as a possible connection to Gary Ridgway due to the date and location of her disappearance. In addition, many victims of Gary Ridgway had a history of prostitution. It should be noted that Green River detectives have never commented publicly on the case. It is possible that investigators have eliminated any connection between Linda and Gary Ridgway.


On a side note,

Patricia Barczak, 19

Patricia's partial remains were found in 1993, and Ridgway confessed to her murder in 2003.

Erin MacGregor, 18

Erin's partial remains were found in 2001 and identified in 2013.

Erin MacGregor's WS thread:
WA - WA - Erin MacGregor, 18, Redmond, 19 Sept 1990

Deborah Wims, 31

Deborah is the sister of Cheryl Wims, who disappeared in 1983 and was found in 1984, another Ridgway victim.
Deborah is still missing.

Deborah Wims' WS thread:
WA - WA - Deborah Wims, 32, Seattle, 25 Oct 1990

Heather Kinchen, 14

Heather was found a few months after she disappeared. Her murder is connected to two other murders happening at the same time. Ridgway has denied being responsible for these murders, but he still considered a suspect.

Virginia Rambus:
