It seems LE has very little to go on with this one. There were no items or clothing found. Also, most bones were missing. I wonder if they feel it is related to the hospital it was found very close to. But one thing that stands out to me is the age, 14-21. Whatever happened, she was young. At least they were able to collect a DNA sample, so an identification is definitely possible.

Since the UID has DNA Amber is a good possibility as is these two that don't have DNA:
6076 Foster, Erin L. 4/3/2000 Sparta, TN
28945 Cromer, Gladys I. 5/17/1990 Crossville, TN

A few possibilities: Holly Calbaugh http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/c/calbaugh_holly.html has been missing from Graysville, TN since early 1999; At the time she was 8 months pregnant. Cayce McDaniel http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/m/mcdaniel_cayce.html was likely abducted. Nancy "Debra" Willis is a little over the age range http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/w/willis_nancy.html but went missing locally. Patricia Dixon http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/d/dixon_patricia.html is also older.
