I'm wondering if her listed ht may be off. Looking at the CADOJ website (below), where most of the info was likely originally pulled, the height is listed with a single digit of 6. Other case files on DOJ show ht as feet and inches. This would certainly be worthy of confirming if not already done so.

There's a 3 part documentary on the victims of Joe Naso and Gail is mentioned at the end of episode 1 and during episode 2. Unfortunately, the clues found tying Joe Naso to Gail were inconclusive but the detective, Ken Mains, said he will still investigate her disappearance.
