Debated sharing this one. She had a Bulova watch and went to dental school and worked for a short time at a dental office before she was married. This could explain why the teeth had very good care at one point but declined recently.
Unable to see any link between the husband and the NY basement the UID was found in. I suspect Leslie was killed much like his 3rd wife.

Details of Disappearance
Leslee was last seen in Wolf Creek, Montana on June 10, 1975. Her husband, Dennis Raymond Larson, said they were picking mushrooms by Little Prickly Pear Creek, about a mile from Wolf Creek. Little Prickly Pear Creek feeds into the Missouri River and it was swollen with spring runoff at the time. The water level was ten feet higher than normal.

According to Dennis, the riverbank gave way under Leslee's feet. She fell into the water, went under a fallen log and disappeared. He said he jumped into the water to try and rescue her, but was unable to find her and was nearly pulled under the water himself.

When Dennis reported what had happened to Leslie, the police noted his clothing wasn't wet, which was inconsistent with his story. Leslee's body was never found, but she was presumed an accidental drowning victim. Her family was suspicious of Dennis's account for years. A photo of him is posted with this case summary.

Leslee was Dennis's first wife. He married a second time in 1982, six months before Leslee was declared legally dead. This marriage ended in divorce. Dennis's second wife had legally adopted his and Leslee's daughter, and the child remained with her after the divorce.

In October 1987, Dennis killed his third wife, Kathy Frost Larson, in Maine. They had been married less than a month and were visiting Acadia National Park when he pushed her off an 80-foot cliff. He said at the time that she accidentally fell.

Dennis was the only witness to Kathy's death and gave contradictory accounts as to what happened, making the authorities suspicious. He said he and Kathy were taking photographs of sea otters, but otters didn't live in that area of the park. Kathy's friends also said she was terrified of heights and wouldn't have gone so close to the edge of the cliff like her husband said.

Dennis moved back to Montana shortly after Kathy's death, and in February 1988, a Maine State Police detective went there to interview him about her case. It was then that he admitted he had pushed Kathy off the cliff. He was arrested, extradited back to Maine, convicted of murder and sentenced to fifty years in prison.

The authorities believe the motive was so Dennis could collect on Kathy's life insurance. He had a history of insurance fraud. He had bought a $200,000 policy for Kathy from Allstate, with double indemnity in case of accidental death. Authorities reopened the investigation into Leslee's presumed death after Dennis's arrest. He had taken out a $20,000 policy on her life, also from Allstate.

A former Montana Department of Justice investigator interviewed Dennis in prison in 2000. Dennis confessed to Leslee's murder, saying he'd pushed her into the creek and watched her drown. He said the murder was planned and he'd gone to the river with her knowing he would kill her.

Dennis was charged with Leslee's murder in October 2000. He was still in prison in Maine at the time, and said he was prepared to plead guilty in exchange for a ten-year sentence. But in 2001, before the case could proceed, Dennis committed suicide in prison.

Leslee was born in Great Falls, Montana and graduated from C.M. Russell High School in 1972. She completed a dental assistant training course and briefly worked for a dental office before her marriage. Her body has never been found.

So, I was trying to wrap my brain around the information on the first page.

32A is a very small bra-size. That is the "starter" size for girls when they start with "training bras."

I did search Namus for basically "32A" and found one result, which was:

Sheila Mary Lyon
149311775_243f65d6-dd3f-4bd3-9e99-8f5d9756724a.png

She was 12 when she went missing. There is no references to anything glittery being her choice in clothing.Though they do say that the knee-socks had possibly orange or bright gold in them.
Went missing in 1975.
In the description of what she was wearing it says:

Underpants - bright yellow, sort of accordian pleated, bikini type, size 12-14, brand unknown
Bra - training type, brand "Teenform" "Lucky Start," size 32
Knee socks - nylon, bright horozontal stripes, possbily orange or bright gold in them
Corduroy pants - cut in the jeans style, wheat colored, brand "Cheap Jeans," rip in back of right thigh, repaired with ironing patch on wrong side Dark blue sweatshirt - bright navy color, unknown size or brand

She was 5'2'
Weighed 100 lbs
Blonde
Blue eyes

Dispappeared 3 - 4 hours away in wheaton maryland. Kidnapped alongside her sister. The two girls had a curfew which indicates they also probably had watches so they could keep time.

Huh. Not relevant but I think I met Leslee Reynolds once. She was in high school in Great Falls the same time as I was in Bozeman. Might have been the state journalism students convention in Missoula, maybe?

I found a 1963 ad for the clothing brand that was found with the UID
Awesome find, I was obsessed with that label and never got anywhere with the vintage clothing resellers a friend referred me to. Thanks for sharing this!

Iam looking a Doris and her teeth. I always looks at the side one that overlaps slightly over the front one. It sort of looks like she has that.

Didn't notice that. You know, Mulhern is also an Irish surname, so that may be something. Also, Doris was a prostitute at the time, so that also stuck out to me given the description of the Jane Doe.

Additionally, Doris may have been a victim of Gary Ridgway, who bound and strangled his victims, which is just like how the Jane Doe was found.

Oh that is interesting but the thing is, what would Gary be doing on 46th street and be able to get all the cement and everything to bury her and not get noticed. I don’t think it was him. Back to the drawing board .... sigh

Yeah it probably wasn't Gary. Just found it interesting with the similarities. Doesn't mean we can rule out Doris just yet.
