Waaaayyyy back then that area was extremely tight knit. And the good ol boys system was a major factor.
My stepfather grew up just outside of Frederick. When his sister was 18, she was shot in the head by the neighbor across the street. Nothing was ever done (LE & legally) because my stepfather’s family was poor, very poor, poor. Although they tried for years and years to get some justice and have the neighbor arrested. Maybe that can give everyone some insight as to the way that area was way back when.

Her NamUs file was modified yesterday, but I didn't see any changes. The exclusion list remains the same
I mentioned this on a reddit post but I am curious about this. I was just watching an episode on Terry Rasmussen and his victims. Several have not been located.
I really think this could possibly be Denise Baudin. She went missing in Manchester in Nov 1981 and he later showed up with her daughter in CA. Authorities believe she went missing somewhere along the route from NH to CA.
His MO was to dispose of the body in a container in a wooded area. The location is along the route he could have taken leaving Manchester, NH and the time period would have matched up. The time of death in Namus had it anywhere from a few months to years earlier than when found.
Height, weight, and age match up. Her doenetwork profile doesn’t have any identifying information such as dental records and I can’t find any past history on Denise (like gymnastics etc). 3816DFNH - Denise D. Beaudin. I would be curious to see if anyone can find any other identifying information on Denise Beaudin that could compare.

Denise had a distinctive overbite; the Cheerleader does seem to have one, but it isn't as severe. IMO it's not a match
I was questioning the dental match as well but with the side photo, it looks more like a match to me. Plus , one of her front teeth were missing so the model has a replacement. I really would like to see Denise’s dental records which doe network says are available. There is not a lot of past hx on Denise to give a definite rule out. I can’t hardly find anything online other than the birth of her daughter who was 5 months at the time of her disappearance.
Just my opinion, but the extensive dental work and bones remind me of not a cheerleader but someone who may have grown up with neglect. I used to be a DCS investigator and this was exactly what we would see with major neglect cases. Lack of proper nutrition and care. A lot of their dental work was done through the dental bus that came to the schools which usually was students or new dentists.
I just can’t get past the method of disposal. It was very much TR’s way of getting rid of those who were no longer necessary. And then dump in a wooded area/park far away from where the victim lived so ID was difficult. Plus the mechanic’s rag found in the trunk. TR was an handyman and likely used similar rags.

A good summary of Rasmussen and his victims, for those not familiar with the case:
abcnews.go.com
Denise's Doenetwork. She has DNA and dentals, so it should be a quick comparison: 3816DFNH - Denise D. Beaudin
Serial killer Terry Rasmussen's victims, known and unknown
Authorities have connected five murders to Rasmussen and they fear there are more.

I hope it gets compared. The only thing that sets this unidentified victim apart is the cause of death which they believe is strangulation. This has not been definitive and she did show some form of trauma to the head and neck. His MO was usually blunt force trauma to the head.A good summary of Rasmussen and his victims, for those not familiar with the case:

I actually came upon this case when I was searching for possible connections to the missing victims. I believe there are so many more that have not yet been connected to him yet. There is a chunk of time from 90-2000 where his whereabouts were unknown. Likely living under 1 or more aliases during that time. Likely quite a few victims during that time.

I agree about many other victims. I think this woman could be one, even if she's not Denise.
Very true. I just found some more info on Denise and that she worked at a nursing home previously. This could correlate with some of the injuries found on the unidentified as a nurses aid, lifting and moving patients. My mom did this before becoming a nurse and had similar injuries. Nowadays, they require CNAs to use back lifts and take precautions but those really weren’t in place back in the late 70’s/early 80’s.
