[FiveFelines]

Didn't see a thread for this woman. Two rule outs so far. She had been dead about two weeks when she was found on July 1. She has two tats--a flower on her shoulder and some Asian lettering on her ankle.

I'm not familiar with the area but according Google Maps, that's part of the Cherokee National Forest.

The victim has multiple ear piercings, and has a healed-over eyebrow and bellybutton piercing.
