Photos of the lake were made in the park near Oak Ridge.
Well, I can't believe I never thought of this before, but as someone who is very familiar with that stretch of the river I can say that Melton Hill Park, just a little upstream, could be a likely spot where she went in the river. LE speculated that that she had only gone in the water about a quarter mile upstream, on the Knox County side. The closest water access on the Knox County side is Melton Hill Park. Just SW of the park's label on Google Maps is a forested area where there are cliffs at the edge of the river (not visible on the map). It is a spot well known by young people who hang out there and jump off the cliffs in the warmer months. It is also a popular spot for boats to put in, and for fishing. But in the winter there would not be as many people there, particularly at night. I would have to agree that judging by the river's flow that would be one of the most likely spots she went in. Not that it would help explain much else about the case!

ETA: the red dot on the map with long. and lat. is where Namus says the body was found.
How about April Susanne Wiss? I know it says she had 3 black dots tattooed on her right hand and Jane Doe had none, but they could have been overlooked or scraped off. She was about to testify on a statutory rape trial before she disappeared. The reconstruction looks similar to her.

She has DNA and dentals. She had evidence of slight scoliosis and no sign of childbirth.
The fact that she was nude makes me lean more toward murder than suicide. I've never heard of someone taking off all their clothes before jumping. (Although it's certainly possible.)
I still wonder about Linda Sohus, due to the height and the drive from Southern California to New England:

She does match on a lot of fronts, but she'd be quite a bit older than the UID. 28 in 1985 would make her over 40 in 2000.
Well, yeah the post-mortem interval is a problem.
But since I'm emotionally invested in the whole Clark not-Rockefeller thing, ya'll should just nod & go along with it.
Not really, and thanks for finding a fact quickly before I get too wound up!
