Found in link above:

Results of the examination revealed the remains were of a
female, 30 to 50 years of age, with a predominantly
Caucasoid genetic ancestry.

Caucasoid genetic ancestry? Perhaps LE should realize that the use of such bombastic terms may result in a lot of people thinking they are referring to an alien creature.

Bumping case up. Could she be one of the many Jane Does found in the Northeastern US around the late 1970"s?

One of the more mysterious disappearances is that of Jane Smith, also a student at Laurentian. In the summer of 1975, Smith, 20, was last seen in her apartment on Charlotte Street just before going to sleep at 2 a.m. A few hours later, at 7:30 a.m., she was nowhere to be found.

All her personal belongings were left behind. To date, investigating officers haven't been able to rule out the possibility she met an untimely end.

She disappeared on the day I married my husband. How tragic for her family to be missing her nearly all of my adult life...............

I wonder a few things here:

who saw her in her apt at 2:00am?
or is it assumed she was in her apartment at that time?

how did they know only 5.5 hrs later she was missing? 7:30 is early in the morning and so soon after she was supposedly last seen isn't that rather quick to conclude she is missing?

as to being seen at 2am in her apt can only be a roommate. this person heard, saw nothing?

Follow this link and read below the article it highlights. I wonder if this guy had something to do with Jane's disappearance.

Bumping.
I combed through Canada's unidentified - only two that even came close were

http://www.missingadults.ca/viewUAc...yEnd=YYYY-MM-DD&&StartAt=0&EndAt=10&CurCase=4
and
http://www.missingadults.ca/viewUAc...yEnd=YYYY-MM-DD&&StartAt=0&EndAt=10&CurCase=5

But both towns were over 6 hours away from Sudbury.
Neither seem viable.

Probably a longshot, but at least this suggestion can work as a bump for Jane Smith. Irondequoit Jane Doe has significant dental gold foil restorations, not gold teeth, though. Stats (when available) and timeline fits. Feel free to call it in!
