This UID was involved in a MVA in St. Louis on December 21, 2018. Her race and age along with her hair and eye color couldn't be determined due to how badly burned she was after the vehicle fire was extinguished. The profile does show that she was wearing black boots and white leggings. She was an estimated 5' 3" tall and weighed 107 pounds.

MO - MO - Corrine Elizabeth Patterson, 39, Hermann, 1 Sept 2018

Considering Corrine as a match. Copied from my post on her thread.

bbm - Circumstances of Disappearance

Corrine Elizabeth Patterson was last seen in Hermann, Missouri on September 1, 2018. She has never been heard from again. Few details are available in her case. She is known to frequent the area of St. Peters, Missouri

St. Peters and St. Louis are only ~30 mins apart and, imo, many people travel to and fro for work, play, etc. I can't help but wonder whether Hermann, MO or St. Louis detectives made a comparison. Corrine's profile was entered in Sept. 2018 and the profile for UID was entered Jan. 2019. I'm not sure how to determine whether there's a DNA sample for either. It'd be interesting to know whether Corrine had any connections (i.e., acquaintances, work, business dealings, etc.) to the Chouteau Avenue/39th Street area of St. Louis city, the location where the car accident happened.

I think this UID is the woman referenced in the article and they still can't confirm her identity. Her husband created a memorial webpage for her (I am not sure if I can link it) where he states that her body hasn't been identified yet. What a nightmare for her poor family!

A husband in a short-lived marriage struggles to cope after his wife was killed in a fiery crash near Midtown St. Louis overnight Friday.

According to police, two vehicles, a sports car and SUV, were involved in the initial crash at 39th and Chouteau around 2:15 a.m. Friday. A third vehicle then crashed into the other cars.

"I was like, oh my God, oh my God. I could not believe it. It felt like a dream. I did not want to believe it," said Weibin Lam.

Lam's wife Chananya Siripaph and another person were seated inside the sports car and pronounced dead at the scene.

"They can't really release her body without dental work, which I don't know of any dentist in St. Louis she’s used," said Lam.

Ty for this update! My goodness this is such a sad situation. I hope they can confirm her identity soon so this family can go through the grieving process properly. I can't even imagine how difficult this must be for them. Thanks again. I'll keep searching for Corrine.
