I'm surprised this doesn't have a thread, but I couldn't find one so I'm making this.
Her remains were in a desert area 2 miles east of the US93. She had been dead for two or three months. All parts recovered.
She was black, 5'4, 110 pounds. Confusion on age because NamUS says adult pre-20, but has her age range is 20-55. So I guess I'll put the age range as 18-55 just to be more broad.
No clothing or accessories listed.

NAMUS

She's mentioned in this news page but nothing we don't already know from the NamUS page, other than that she was found by campers. The article is quite dismissive and calls her a 'negro' and kind of gives me the vibe not a lot of care went into the investigation.

Cheers. Homicide? Any more details on this being a homicide? Where does Doe Network get their info? The two teeth missing thing is interesting and might place her on the older side. Mind you, I'm 21 and missing one tooth.

If anyone's interested I submitted Katrina Ashford as a possible match. This JD has 0 exclusions so why not? The contact is apparently on Holiday until the 21st so we'll see what happens then.

@Caring1 any new rule outs for her? I just saw her page was updated.
