I've been thinking that she could be this Jane Doe found in Georgia later that year.

I was just about to suggest this one myself, the description of the boots and jeans are similar.

Perhaps one of you could send that in as a suggestion to LE?

I was just about to suggest this one myself, the description of the boots and jeans are similar.

This is an interesting Jane Doe for the case in my opinion as well. I understand how acid-wash jeans and stone-washed jeans could be described in the same way. However, I'm looking at black-suede boots as very different footwear than "black, high top athletic shoes."

That said, age, sex, height, race, date of death vs. date of disappearance, and the same general area of the USA corroborate enough, I think. I will associate the cases at my blog noting the points and counterpoints.
