Circumstances of Recovery Subject found in trunk in a wooded area at a state park. The body may have been at that location for three (3) or more years.
@Richard When I saw your post in this thread today, the photo reminded me of a UID that I had recently come across. There is not much information, other than found in 1982 and had been there for more than 3 years. I read the news article from 2015 that mentioned Kathy might have received a ride with a trucker. Frederick, Maryland where she was discovered is right off the Interstate. Probably a long shot, but seems possible and hasn't been ruled out from what I can see.

Was she ever ruled out?

No, and I see a resemblance. Kathy was also a runaway, which could explain the discrepancy in distance. Maybe she was on the way to a popular spot, like California? Age is off though.

While I think they look alike, what we know about both cases isn't a perfect match. I think it's still worth an exclusion though.

No, because it wasn't mine to submit. I guess I should, though, as the person who originally posted it seems to be inactive.
Good idea. You can always credit them if anything comes of it .
