OH OH - Sandusky, Lake Erie Beach, UncFem 35-50, UP4756, diamond ring, scar, manicured nails, May '96

Her body was cremated, so DNA won’t help solve this case.

Oh no. Oh no.
I know she's no exception and unidentified remains were/are cremated all the time, but it saddens me every time I read it. Someone must be missing her, hopefully looking for her too. DNA would have made the search for her relatives so much easier.

How about Sonya Renee Oliver MP23353, she went missing from Buffalo on 8/30/1995 aged 33 with a height of 5’6”-7” and weight 120-125 and noted to possibly be missing front teeth. Buffalo is on the shores of Lake Erie. I’m not certain it’s plausible for a body to float from Buffalo, NY to Sandusky, OH as I don’t know if there are locks or if it’s open waters.

Hi! First time posting here, obligatory apologies for my poor English. I'd love to get everyone's opinions on whether this UID could be this MP:

Gail Ann Russell – The Charley Project

1) Gail went missing in September 1995, and the body was found in May 1996, which would match the time of death listed on NamU;
2) Her height and weight listed on NamUs (5'7"-5'8" and 140-145 lbs) match the UID's (5'8" and 135-145 lbs);
3) Both Gail and UID have brown hair;
4) Charley project states that Gail has children and the UID is believed to have been a mother;
5) UID had surgeries and an abdomen scar; Gail had a scar on the abdomen as well (possibly from such surgeries);
6) UID was found with a diamond ring, NamUs states that Gail also could have had a diamond ring on when she went missing;
7) I think that Gail's photo is quite similiar to the reconstruction images of the UID (especially the nose, eyebrows and the overall face shape);
However, there's a bunch of differences between the two:
1) The biggest problem is, in my opinion, the distance - please correct me if I'm wrong, as I've never been to the US, but I believe that it's quite a long way from Florida to Ohio;
2) Depending on source (NamUs, article listed in the 1st post), UID is listed as either mixed or uncertain; I think that does not rule out Gail completly, but she is white so that doesn't exactly line up;
3) Gail's ring is said to have "a small imbeded diamond", which is different from the ring found with UID - or maybe it was just described that way by someone, and it is in fact the same ring;
Let me know if you think there's any possibility that these two ladies are the same person. Regardless, I hope that UID gets her name back soon and that Gail will be found in the near future.

I think both of these are great possible matches. I wish there was a little more info on them.
