Case History:
Skeletal elements found on a small bank of the Tennessee River by scavenger hunters. The location is below the former Baptist Hospital, and across the river from the restaurant Calhouns.
 
It seems LE has very little to go on with this one. There were no items or clothing found. Also, most bones were missing. I wonder if they feel it is related to the hospital it was found very close to. But one thing that stands out to me is the age, 14-21. Whatever happened, she was young. At least they were able to collect a DNA sample, so an identification is definitely possible.
 
Since the UID has DNA Amber is a good possibility as is these two that don't have DNA:
6076 Foster, Erin L. 4/3/2000 Sparta, TN
28945 Cromer, Gladys I. 5/17/1990 Crossville, TN
 
A few possibilities: Holly Calbaugh http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/c/calbaugh_holly.html has been missing from Graysville, TN since early 1999; At the time she was 8 months pregnant. Cayce McDaniel http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/m/mcdaniel_cayce.html was likely abducted. Nancy "Debra" Willis is a little over the age range http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/w/willis_nancy.html but went missing locally. Patricia Dixon http://www.charleyproject.org/cases/d/dixon_patricia.html is also older.
 
Knox County Jane Doe has been unidentified for 14 years today.
