Barb. your # 1, Sondra Kay Ramber, would fit.

Sondra’s age, height, and weight fit.(her weight gain could be due to pregnancy)
Sondra’s rounded chin, straight nose, and relatively small mouth, seem to match the clay reconstruction.

Let me Speculate on a reason for her disappearance. Sondra knew and possibly was having sex with a adult male. He either lured or forced her to leave home, then he moved her out of state. Subsaquently she became pregnant but she miscarried or had the child aborted.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is working to identify a teenager found 23 years ago along an East Tennessee interstate. Her body was naked and badly decomposed.
"This is one of those things, if you are an agent or an investigator in law enforcement, and you have a case that you have never been able to close, that's something you live with your entire life," TBI spokesperson Kristin Helm said. "You just don't forget about that person."
For some TBI investigators, that person was a teenaged girl found on April 14, 1985 in Greene County.
A 15-year-old fishing near exit 44 on I-81 smelled something dead, then discovered the body.
"It's estimated she had been out in the elements in the springtime for three to six weeks," Helm said. "When you have a body that's that decomposed, it's difficult to identify that person."
An autopsy revealed the badly beaten girl was 15 to 17 years old, weighed about 140 lbs, and stood 5'5.
She had curly light brown to dark blonde hair and had recently been pregnant but never gave birth.

Her Volkswagen was seen on Bee Cave Road that day, and in the area where Barton Creek Square is now located. It was found at an apartment complex on Research Boulevard. She was a nurse with hopes of going to medical school.
    A resident told police she saw a woman fitting McCully's description getting out of the car with a man, but the tip didn't develop. Fingerprints were found on her car but there hasn't been enough physical evidence to link anyone ot the crime.

Click to expand...

I think the face shape of the doe is longer and thinner, but OH MY LAND what a beautiful girl the candidate is!!!

I would be looking at the last relative to see her or the step dad but perhaps that is the hinkey meter in me....that is one long bus ride, and OK to Louisiana to Mexico??? For a camping trip??
 
Okay Ill look again when I have time... I've looked through most of the southern states and very few missing women in that time period, all are either past 30 or african american. This young lady is the most likely that I saw.
 
I saw her but didn't think she looked like the UID at all. I thought the one I found really did but does anyone else think she did? The side by side?
 
since she was found close to an interstate highway and might have been traveling with a trucker, I suppose she could be form anywhere *sigh*

this will take some real digging!!
