I did find an article from 2012 that I don't think we've seen before: Database could solve 1976 Waukesha's Jane Doe case

I found this part especially interesting. I wonder what ever happened with the exhumation and results?

The Waukesha remains are expected to be exhumed this month from Prairie Home Cemetery.

They were found on April 6, 1976, by a National Guardsman in a field near the National Guard Armory in Waukesha, near the cemetery. Donald Eggum, elected coroner at the time but not a medical professional, had a section of the field dug for further remains. None were found.

He ruled it was unlikely they had come from the cemetery. A forensic pathologist in his office determined the skull was of an adult female probably younger than 40 who had died no more than 10 years earlier, and possibly much more recently.

Two months after the bones were found, the case was closed. More than a year later, Jane Doe was buried with a small religious ceremony.

When the remains are disinterred, a forensic anthropologist will participate and try to determine more closely the age of the individual and confirm the sex as female. The bones will then be sent for DNA testing.

This area is near where Charlotte disappeared from. Although there is evidence that she may have made it to Illinois.
