A couple of possibles (by the way, the recon images for this Jane Doe seem to have the hair way too short according to the description of it being 8 inches long?)

lka Nov 2004 in New York, but not reported missing until almost a year later by an acquaintance. So who knows if she could have travelled, it's not such a long drive to Baltimore.
She's the right height at 5 feet, and weight is 115 to 130 which is in range

Police use DNA technology in effort to identify woman found dead in 2005

http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2018/...-composite-image-jane-doe-remains-found-2005/

Using DNA phenotyping technology, Anne Arundel County police are asking for the public's help to identify a woman whose body was found in 2005.
County police on Wednesday released an image developed from forensic DNA analysis by Parabon-Nano Labs. The process predicts physical appearance and ancestry from unidentified DNA evidence, police said.

Just a bit of few more details not mentioned here from previously posted old article:

March 14, 2011

Unknown cause of death - An autopsy was inconclusive because of lack of a wound and sufficient tissue.
---
She was dead a month or so
---
Scuffed and well-worn white K-Swiss athletic shoes, size 91/2, were found nearby. The shoes have metal hooks instead of grommets and an adhesive bandage is on the back of one.

"I'm wondering if the shoes fit her," Gajda said.

She was wearing dark blue jeans, size 9, with a red Paris Blues label and glass studs on the back, and a red tank top, and had a black hair scrunchy. A Coast black fanny pack with green trim held cosmetics.

Why would he wonder about the shoes fitting her? :thinking:

 

[InternalExt76]

Has anyone looked into Melinda Wall McGee who disappeared from Atmore AL in March 2003. She was 31, 5'5" 130lb. I can't find any info on Melinda, such as shoe size or any fractures etc. I was wondering if anyone else maybe had some luck locating that? If you look at the newest picture of Melinda and this new picture of Jane doe, it does look a lot like her.

 

[SurrealisticSlumbers]

I'm so happy to see that someone posted the newest composite and story -- this image is much better and will hopefully jog someone's memory!

 

[Bit of hope]

Maybe I just want to see it, but what about Jessica Leigh Jenkins. Jessica Leigh Jenkins – The Charley Project
She supposed to be taller than the estimated height of the UID, but there so many different listings.

 

[Bit of hope]

My guess is, this woman od-ed somewhere in a house and was dumped at the scene by bystanders. Lack of other clothes and belongings make me think that she wasn't "camping out" at that spot and was killed by the elements. Of course it's also possible she od-ed at the scene with or without somebody else and they just left her there. I wonder where the pink bedspread was located. Was she rapped in it or was she laying on it. The drug paraphilia could have been hers or somebody else's. Maybe it was a regular spot where people do drugs.

Doenet and the articles said the boys saw the leg sticking out of the blanket/bedspread, so she must have been either under or in it.

Ok....thanks....I rest my case..oding..and left there....

It's certainly plausible, though without a cause of death, I won't eliminate domestic violence. So often that's what a bedspread or shower curtain means.

Just for convenience her Namus file Unidentified Person Case

If you look at the map (satellite view) in the Namus file it looks like she is found in somebody's backyard. Strange.

The article indicates that kids playing at the basketball court across the street found her along the path that runs into the woods.

"...children at the basketball court at a park at Cross Street and Wasena Avenue spotted a bedspread with a leg poking out by a wooded path. The path runs from Kansas Court in the city, through the trees and into the park in the county. They ran for an adult, who called police."

A number, no name, for unidentified Anne Arundel body

At the map you can see the finding spot clearly I think, across the street (where the location on the Namus map is pointing) is indeed a wooded area and a path.

Yes, I think you're right. That does look like the right spot.

And it sounds like the police agree with your observation about an overdose being likely. Poor woman.

Did you read that somewhere? I thought they were not sure. My questions would be. Did she OD'd on that spot or was she dumped there? Is there a house/community in the vicinity where people used drugs. Were there others involved who could know her name or AKA? No idea how big the "drugs scene" was in those days and neither about the US laws. If you report it and being associated with drugs is this a felony, could you be arrested? Don't know the situation in America/different states very well. Only know it's a horrific way to die (saying this, makes me think of a documentary about a father talking about his son, who died, by overdosing)

It was in the article I linked to in that post. A number, no name, for unidentified Anne Arundel body

"My thoughts are, and I have nothing to prove it, she may have been a prostitute to support a drug habit in the Pennington Avenue-Curtis Bay area," Gajda said.

Drug paraphernalia near the body has led police to suspect she may have used heroin and may have died of an overdose.

 

[Bit of hope]

Just thinking out loud about the question if it's worthwhile to do a further search. Of course it's always worthwhile but can we have a realistic contribution in this stage.

So they have her DNA, the new sketch was made with the help of a DNA technology company. They put her in Namus, did a national search and found no match with a missing person yet (see the rule-out list). There could be a possible matching missing person, but this one would be without DNA or DNA still pending. I can't see the identifiers any more in Namus. Is there DNA for Jessica Leah Jenkins?

If the UID was ever arrested, they most likely took her fingerprints, but couldn't match them to anyone in the system because the body was to far "gone" (speculation) or she was never arrested. Taking DNA from arrested people did start in approx. 2013. She died in 2005 so that is of no use. It seems like this door is closed -so to speak- or could going trough mug shots from those days be of any help? Long shot.

LE thinks she is most likely from the Baltimore area. Is it save to say that they started there search for missing women there, but came up with nothing? It is highly possible that this UID was never officially reported missing.

Saying all of this; reaching out to the DNA Doe project would be the smartest thing to do and the most promising way to give this woman her name back.

About the sketch. If she was a heroine addict her facial appearance may have been "less beautiful".

Thank you Carbuff, read over the article in your post. Sorry.
