Female Remains have been found in Bellevue WA. All I can think of is Susan Cox Powell.
Oh is it PA? Now how on earth did I miss that how awful. Let's see if a Mod will come to my rescue and put this in the right state! Thanks! Edited to PA, and no wonder the state call letters to the station were not setting with me; I forgot the golden rule: Kwpr; any K's are west and W's are east of the MI river!
Kortne Stouffer perhaps? Missing 18 months
Here's some info about Kortne. There's a thread on Websleuths for her as well.

I would be surprised if it is kortne, given the distance from Palmyra where she went missing from and the location of the body.
If I recall correctly when Kortne was reported missing according to the reports she wasn't wearing shoes...
A black fabric suitcase containing several board games, including “Aggravation” and “Frogger,” as well as audio casettes, papers and other items was found several yards from the body. Investigators don't know if the items are connected or can provide clues to the identity of the remains.
I can't edit my previous post, but that should read SOUTHbound traffic headed into Pittsburgh.
This article quotes a man who remembered an odor of decomposition a few months ago:

And it states the UID might be a male based on clothing, which is described as a t-shirt, shorts and tennis shoes.
Those are some very vintage items and they immediately bring to mind the Red White & Blue Thrift Store, which is 0.6 miles from the site where the UID was found. They carry items like this that appeal to the hipster/retro crowd.
The store uses a distinct price tag, with the price and date the item was put on the shelf written in permanent marker. If the items have these stickers, the dates on them would indicate when they were purchased and ended up in the woods with the UID.
An anthropologist was being summoned to examine skeletal remains found in the woods west of Pittsburgh, not far from a suitcase containing board games and audio cassette tapes.
Allegheny County homicide detectives and Medical Examiner Dr. Karl Williams don't know if the two finds are related, and say the condition of the body has prevented them from confirming its gender, age or, so far, its cause of death.
