Tanya Teresa Begay could be a possible match?

Possibly Barbara Gould? Missing from the Zuni mountains near Bluewater Acres, NM which is about 20 miles from where the skull was found as the crow flies. Maybe less, I can't find an exact location for the discovery of the skull. According to NAMUS she left a vehicle on Forest Road 180 during an argument with the driver. Same national forest, and she went missing November of 2018.

I am not confident they would have been able to obtain DNA/dentals.
@Caring1 Does this case have exclusions? Thanks.

As is most of New Mexico, McKinley County has a very low population density, 14 people per square mile:

This lady's remains may have been dumped, a short distance from the interstate.

Hopefully, dentals & DNA....
