There's only one Black woman missing from that area of Georgia who could have been in the 60-70 age range and she doesn't seem to have blue eyes.

I wondered about the accuracy of the eye color. But if correct, I think it could be a unique identifier. Charley Project has another sketch of Virginia. It’s a shame there are no actual photos available. The two sketches of her do not look very much alike in my opinion!

Dentals: There was permanent upper and lower metallic bridge work.

A pair of green sunglasses and small mirror were found in her pocket.

I was thinking the same. Blue eyes on African woman is very rare. But there are things that can happen with aging and or decomposition that make them appear lighter or cloudy so maybe that was it.

Does anyone know if the following have been ruled out?
