Hi

I'm sorry, I don't know anything about this case. I was just going to mention that since it is a "hot case", maybe there will be more info/stats entered soon. I realize they don't have a lot to go on, but maybe some circumstances to how the body was found and any possible connections or theories LE has.
 
Hunter, NY to Oswego, NY - Google Maps

They were found quite a distance apart. It's about 195 miles and 3 hours 40 minutes from Hunter NY to Oswego on the shore of Lake Ontario (approximate location)

Neither of them are in Namus

The Namus link in the thread title appears to be an error.
https://identifyus.org/cases/931 is a Hispanic male in Maryland.
She's Doe Hotcase 931.
I didn't find a Namus link for her.
 
WOW-I live about 20 mins from these places and I have never heard of this case.I am going to see what I can find out-in fact I just came back from Lake O this past thursday from camping.

Circumstances of Disappearance

The morning of Tuesday, June 5, 1984 would be the last time that Mary Ann's mother would speak with her. In that last phone call, Mary Ann told her mother that her estranged husband would be picking her up to go look at a car he was considering buying for her. Mary Ann's husband would later tell police that he did go to the West Willow Road home that morning, but that Mary Ann wasn't ready, so the husband took the couple's 2-year old son to Long Park to feed the ducks. Upon returning to the residence, the husband said that Mary Ann was gone, but had left a note saying that she was walking to a nearby Turkey Hill Minit Market since her car wouldn't start. The clerks at the store, who knew Mary Ann well, stated that they didn't see her that day.

Police searched the fields and woods around the Bagenstose home, but found nothing. Relatives, neighbors and friends, including a boarder who was staying at the home at that time, were interviewed, but nothing substantial was learned. A roadblock was set up to see if anyone had seen Mary Ann walking along the road that day. The garage floor at the home was dug up - but nothing was found. Mary Ann's husband said that he'd thrown away the note he said his wife left. It was never recovered.

It would be totally out of character for Mary Ann to voluntarily leave her son behind, or to leave without contacting her mother, who she used to speak to every day. Foul play is strongly suspected.

I've put the pictures of Mary Bagenstose next to the photo of the UID. I find the nose is very similar and that the chin would look similar but Mary Bagenstose seems to have more weight on her face then the UID

Case History
A partial sketetonized lower leg was found on the shoreline of Lake Ontario.

DNA matches the partially skeletonized lower arm found about one week earlier (case 07-0439) near Ford Drive.

The leg was assigned case number 07-0464 (this case). The leg and arm were found about 1/2 mile apart.

https://identifyus.org/cases/5024

-------

Not sure if the leg & arm would be related due to the wording "Partially Skeletonized" and i'm sure if a torso, head, arm, and leg showed up in the same state they would check the DNA but I thought i'd post it anyways. the three woman that have been ruled out as this UID were missing from 1992 - 1994

Scamurra, circa 1984;

Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance

Missing Since: July 1, 1984 from Amherst, New York
Classification: Non-Family Abduction
Date Of Birth: April 27, 1970
Age: 14 years old
Height and Weight: 5'6, 150 pounds
Distinguishing Characteristics: Caucasian female. Brown hair, blue eyes. Scamurra has facial dimples and freckles across her nose. She has a half-inch scar under her chin and a gap between her front teeth.
Clothing/Jewelry Description: A white shirt and blue and white shorts.
Medical Conditions: Scamurra has calcium build-up on her bones, particularly on her right knee.

Details of Disappearance

Scamurra was last seen in family's Amherst, New York at approximately 9:30 p.m. on July 1, 1984. She got into an argument with one of her siblings and left her family's Scamridge Curve residence. She was last seen walking toward North Forest Road. She has never been heard from again.

Scamurra was having personal problems at the time of her disappearance and the police originally believed she had run away from home. She left all her belongings behind, however, and apparently never contacted her loved ones again, which is unusual for a teen runaway. Authorities can find no evidence of an abduction in Scamurra's case, but they believe she is deceased. Her family has reportedly refused to cooperate with police in her disappearance. They maintain their innocence in her case, however, and none of them have been named as suspects. Scamurra's case remains unsolved and foul play is suspected.
