Could this be a match for Linda?

Height: 5'5", Measured
Weight: 140 lbs, Estimated

Identifiers

Clothing & Personal Items
Clothing: Unknown

Circumstances of Discovery
This woman was found deceased in a ditch at 4300 East Williams Field Rd, in the desert south of Ahwatukee.

Her race was initially unknown until DNA phenotyping performed by the Parabon Nanolabs confirmed she was of mostly Native and Central American descent

The eyes and the nose look similar? The date of death is after her disappearance date. From the photo of Linda it appears she has straight teeth. Could she have been wearing a retainer when she disappeared? There is so little information about Linda.
This doe has fingers prints available - but did Linda?
The 2 days travel between when she was last seen and where this body was found could a way of the murder covering their tracks.

What do others think?

I think... One tooth was slightly overlapping the other. It was noticable. No, I don't think she had a retainer. They were real expensive back in the 80s.
