This San Diego County case was put into NamUs in the last few weeks:
https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/30454/5

Searching the MP name I found a San Diego County court case from January 1995, listed as "domestic":

http://www.usdocket.com/1e8fe33/enhelder-vs-enhelder-court-case-detail.html

The name and county match up, so I was wondering if Mary Enhelder had a domestic legal case going a month before she disappeared.

I wondered about this UID as a potential match because of the fairly close proximity of the remains to La Mesa and the red/aubern hair on the remains:
https://identifyus.org/en/cases/14233

The skeletal remains were found merely a month after the disappearence, but maybe the California heat and wildlife could have reduced a body to skeletal remains in a short time.

MissingIn link has same details as NamUs:

Bump.

Born (or previously) Mary Ruth Aaron, and married Robert Frank Enhelder in 1992. But very little information otherwise.
 
Maiden name was Mary Schoute as there is a matching yearbook photo on Ancestry from Grossmont High School in La Mesa in 1987. Not sure where the Aaron came from unless she was married twice. She married Enhelder as Mary Ruth Aaron.
 
Seems to me she has Dutch and Jewish ancestry. @Susikatze can you you give your opinion on this missing woman.
 
Aaron is a bit of an ambigous surname, can be Jewish but does not have to be, there are plenty of nonjews with it. Besides that, last names can sometimes be a clue re Jewish heritage but do not always work (Jewishness is much more complicated than last names). We would need some more genealogy here to say more about her.

Also, she was born Schoute, either she changed her name at some point, was adopted or married an Aaron. Schoute sounds like it is of Dutch or Flemish origin.

Thank you @Susikatze Back to the search...this is again a case with so little attention.
 
Dutch Jewish surnames are a class of their own, actually. Many are the same as nonjewish Dutch surnames (examples are e.g. "Van Dijck" and "Van Gelderen"). And then there are others that sound plain Dutch, but for insiders are pretty Jewish as almost no nonjews have them (e.g. "Duizend").

Dont know how Schoute would fit in there, can be, does not have to be Jewish. I simply cannot tell.

Is she on Ancestry?

Bit of hope said:
It still and always makes me sad...to see all this people (including Schoute, but mostly Schouten) killed in the concentration camps....Sobibor, Auschwitz....I didn't find a trace yet for this woman's ancestry.

What did her husband say about her disappearance? He reported her missing 2 months after she was last seen.
And what does "domestic" mean in a court case? Domestic violence?
 
Their marriage record is on Ancestry and maybe more, but you need a subscription.

Still don't have a subscription....

BTW in the Jewish quarters in Amsterdam we have the Mozes and Aaron church....actually it is a catholic church. Did you ever had the time to visit the Jewish neighborhood from the old days in Amsterdam? It's very special, with lot's of need to know history about the deportations....sigh....
 
I did, many years ago. I spent the Jewish New Year in Amsterdam. Went to Gerard Dou street synagogue I think.
