Since you started the thread, I might as well put up the MP that I have as a possible from my spreadsheet.

Dentals are in the system for both the MP and UP. So I would think it would have been caught if it was a match.
 
Rule outs as of 30 September 2017: Tammy Daniel 1962 West Virginia, Margaret Dodd 1950 West Virginia, and Leslie Marty 1963 West Virginia.
 
It would be great if someone with a Namus account could check the ruleouts on this one please?

Found location in Namus indicates found in Mercer County but near Cool Ridge (Raleigh Co.). Mercer Co is south of Raleigh Co and I-77 runs through both with easy links to the south into TN, NC and VA.

Namus says the PMI is 1981-91. Very few identifiers but possible height 5'7" & age estimate 25-32.

Tammy Jean Daniel was 5'7" and missing from Raleigh Co since June 1987 - last seen at the trailer where her ex-husband lived. According to Doe Network she has no DNA in the system.

Juanita Reedy also missing from Raleigh Co since November 1979. At 39 and 5'2" she falls outside the estimates on those parameters, but including her because of the close proximity. No DNA according to Doe Network.

Mazie Mae Sigmon Palmer 5'6" and 25yo was last seen at a club in Charleston WV. However the body of the man she was last seen with was found in Fayette Co WV which is 12 miles from Cool Ridge. DNA is available.
 
Thanks @victoriarobinson642 so of my three possibles #1 (Tammy) is ruled out and #3 (Mazie) could have been ruled out on auto-DNA comparison and we would not see her on the manually entered list. That leaves #2 Juanita Reedy but she was the least likely to me. I was not overly worried that her PMI was a couple of years outside the 10 year range, but her height (shorter by 7") and age (39 vs max 32 in Namus) leads me to think she's not a good match.
 
Updates exclusions for this UID? Also in the image you can see this structure that looks like a fountain or something for the drainage of water...I searched for it with google Maps but I did not find it someone knows where it is exactly and if UID was found right there closer or further away?
