NY NY - Northport, WhtFem 20-40, UP134470, "H.A." clothing, found in the LI sound near CT in a trunk, Oct'73

I know sizes have gotten bigger over the years but would a 5'1 woman who is 109 lbs wear a size 7?

It's possible.

It's possible.

Agree. I think a size 7 is probably about right. Also, US clothing sizes are not standardized - sizing varies by manufacturer, which was true both then and now.

I'm 5'1" and when I weighed 105 pounds, I wore either a size 5 or 7 depending on the fit.

It’s prob not her the initials don’t match but I wonder if her husband had a boat.

In thinking about the HA, in the 70s were any of the psychiatric hospitals called asylum? Like Harlem, Hillside, etc?

Yes me too and like you said depends on fit.

While I recognize Namus is likely most accurate, this particular article indicates the woman to be 5'9 (one wonders if people didn't act on it given a potential 8" ht difference?). It also references a gold "Bristol" inside (although I'm not sure to what item they are referring, watch or ring given the way the article is written?).

It also speaks to more of the relationship between the finder of the trunk, his activities in the sound, being questioned by the police, etc.

High temps end of September were mid-high 70s. Clothing would seem appropriate. I do wonder, if this lady was a recent arrival to the area and was literally killed and put into the trunk that she arrived with - a horrible thought of course, but I did think on it - she may have never been reported as missing ...
