what do you think?

Thanks

She looks very close.

The vitals aren't exact, but they frequently aren't. The resemblance is very solid.
 
the facial resemblance is good but the MP is said to have had scars on her right ankle and right fingers and none are noted with the UID. a 50 lb weight difference (in this case 50% more than the MP) is a bit much but then again the one facial pic of Sherline looks like she had a few extra pounds. no reason not to submit in my opinion.

Thanks very much for posting this.

Sherline was involved with drugs and "disappeared" a year earlier. I think she could easily have moved up to NY to become a drug mule.

I'm going to submit it based on the resemblence alone I think. Thanks again for your help.
