Could she be

No ruleouts listed in Namus. COD is homicide by beating - I wonder if this was a DV situation and her partner dumped her after killing her.

"Body of Woman Found at Plant," Richmond Times-Dispatch, 5 June 1981, C8.

Police believe a woman found yesterday at a waste water treatment plant near the James River was the victim of a homicide during the past several weeks.

The body, described as that of a black female, 20 to 30 years old, was discovered yesterday afternoon in a settling basin at the treatment plant by a city employee, police said. The plant is located at 1400 Brander St.

According to police, the woman had suffered a skull fracture. It was not determined as of last night where, or how, the assault took place.

Bumping

Bumping. There are still no public exclusions.

@othram This looks like one for you, maybe.

For whatever reason, this one is really sitting with me. I also had considered Naomi Wilson, and I saw it mentioned here many years ago. I can find very little about Naomi, particularly her medical history, and logistically it wouldn’t make much sense, but excluding her would make one less possibility.

Has anyone put eyes on this lately? Any new thoughts?
