While scrolling through missing persons cases I came across a young lady who went missing in 1985 at the age of 21 Patricia Ann Schmidt. Her description stuck out because she had a full set of dentures and I had remembered seeing a case on Websleuths a while back about a Jane Doe being found who was thought to be young and had dentures. - mostly I remember that there had been comments about how unusual it would be for such a young person to have dentures.
Still looking for that post but had found UP9495 in Namus - and I believe this record is a duplicate of that. All the info is the same except this one seems to have been created after they exhumed the body and includes pictures. (Not sure if that matters)
At any rate, neither listing has any rule-outs. Other than having red hair, I wonder if Patricia is a is a possibility?
