Not sure how this match wasn't suggested sooner - a Jane Doe was just added to NAMUS that I'm pretty confident could be Sylvia. She was found half a mile from where Sylvia disappeared and also wore a blue+white shirt.

I sure wish we knew more about the friend and/or the unknown male Sylvia left with. Her friend must have some valuable information of what happened, or at least where they got dropped off.
