Who wants to bet Edward Wayne Edwards is on that list of suspects?

Can anyone confirm if he is even still alive?
According to Wikipedia, he died in 2011.
"Between 1974 and 2009, when not incarcerated, Edwards lived in more than a dozen different states using many false names, according to his daughter April". It would be great to know some of his aliases and when he was exactly release in 1974.

Looks like this was a time when Edwards could have been out of prison. He had killed in Wisconsin before but was ruled out for sjoberg. Honestly I think you guys are wrong on sjoberg being related. Maybe because of the killings Edwards did of the couple by the Concord house investigators really wanted it to be him, but it is repeatedly incorrectly reported where she went missing. After leaving the concord house she was seen by a witness walking down the street in her prom dress and heels in delafield, the nearby town. Of course she was never found in the woods. Anyway, sjoberg aside, I do think Edwards was a possibility, but he never admitted all his kills.

Regardless the next step I think would be to review the evidence they have and see if it can tell us more about where she went.

The obituary linked by T Rex is for Charlotte's maternal grandmother. Her mother is listed there as well but she divorced Charlotte's father and had remarried, so she no longer had the same last name as her daughter Charlotte.
Charlotte's mother died in 2011 (the husband listed there is her 2nd husband but both husbands had the same first name).
Her mother's obituary lists Charlotte as a survivor and doesn't mention her being missing.

Her father died in 2018 and his obituary lists Charlotte as preceding him in death with a note saying "whereabouts unknown".

:(
Given this information, is anyone even still alive who can do a FOIA?

Also the last time the NaMus was cited in this thread is an old link, so here: The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Still only the one comparison shown in previous threads
