My first thread (woo!)
I was surprised to find such a young recently found UID on NAMUS without a thread here already. I searched for media articles concerning this UID and couldn't find any. It would be great if anyone else could find some. You'd think this kind of discovery would attract media attention. Maybe LE has an idea who it is and doesn't need the public's help so they aren't alerting the media? Anyone know of missing teenagers that could be possible matches?

I don't know if this girl was ever found: Thurston sheriff’s deputies search for missing Yelm teen
Strong possibility it's 16 year old, Mariah Dachtler, who's been missing since June 26, 2018. So yesterday was the first anniversary of her disappearance. She ran away from home in Kelso, about 60 miles south of where the remains were located.

From tdn.com: "Mariah Dachtler is about 5-foot, 4-inches tall with a thin build, long dark hair, and brown eyes, Kelso police said."
If dentals are not available, DNA matching can take quite a while.
I didn't see a thread here for Mariah, so I made one: WA - WA - Mariah Marie Dachtler, 16, Kelso, Cowlitz County, 26 June 2018
I haven't heard much about this unidentified victim anywhere online. She was aged between thirteen and nineteen years of age when she was found in Tumwater, Washington on May 17th 2019. Her height is estimated at between 5'3 and 5'9, but we have to remember that she is skeletal. She was found by an excavator clearing the area. Her hair was described as being brown and straight.
Despite the fact that she might be a runaway or someone she knew had killed her, the fact that Tumwater is a 24-minute drive from McCleary, it makes me wonder if she is connected to the Lindsey Baum case.
Nevertheless, as we are approaching the second half of August (I am British, so forgive me if I am incorrect on this assumption), schools will be starting soon and if a girl doesn't return for the fall, people will begin to wonder.

It didn't say how long she was there.How long a post mortem interval are we looking at? That would really help me narrow it down. I'm considering she may have been there a long time based on the fact she wasn't found until an excavation. So I took a look at missing women cases from the near Tumwater focusing my search on the north to the city of Tacoma. And I thing I may have found something.
Andria Bailey - MP5814
Andria Bailey disappeared from Spanaway, Washington in either 1978 or 1979. She was last seen walking home from a party and wasn't reported missing until 1989. The decedant is listed as having brown hair, being between 13 and 19 years old, and being between 5'3" and 5'9". Andria had Brown hair, was 15-16 years old, and was 5'5". Spanaway is about a half-an hour drive away from Tumwater. If there's a possibility these remains could be that old then I'd say there's a very good possibility this might be her.
