So nothing to indicate whether she was in the driver's seat or the passenger's one. It's more likely that it would be the latter, since a male is more likely to steal and drive a stolen vehicle, and presumably the (male) driver escaped unharmed or with only very minor injuries and simply left her there in the vehicle.

I like your theory.
 
Briefly searching about Baltimore Leakin Park I found that it is known for its notoriety and locals call it cemetary. By 2010 around 80 bodies have been found there, some still unidentified.

from article:
Although well-known to Baltimore locals, Leakin Park — pronounced “Linkin” — has recently gained global notoriety through Serial, the podcast which has taken the world by storm after (unofficially) reopening the cold-case of Hae Min Lee, a popular Baltimore high school student who was murdered in 1999, and her body found … you guessed it … in Leakin Park.

“if you’re digging in Leakin Park to bury your body, you’re going to find somebody’s else’s”.

(link list some of the cases from there, also children and serial killer. Some details are gruesome).

July 05, 1997
It has been dubbed "the city's largest unregistered graveyard" -- an urban forest in Dead Run Valley where children discover skeletons and city workers find bullet-riddled corpses draped over guardrails.
---
And the pace doesn't seem to be slowing: four bodies in 1995, eight in 1996 and four so far this year (July 1997). By contrast, only two murder victims have turned up in New York's Central Park in the past three years.
---
Other cities have their notorious dumping grounds as well. There are the Pine Barrens and the Meadowlands in New Jersey, favorites of the mob. Philadelphia has Tacony Creek Park. Chicago has Humboldt Park. New York has the East River.

Of course, cities with their own body-dumping grounds are reluctant to acknowledge them.

He remembers a friend finding a skull in a bucket and tells a story of kids playing a joke on a construction crew by digging a fake shallow grave with tennis shoes sticking out of the ground -- prompting a call to the homicide unit.

Profiles of this case

https://identifyus.org/cases/1392
http://www.doenetwork.org/cases/1040ufmd.html (nothing new)

When case was featured as hot case on Doe network it was stated:
Dentals: One or more teeth present, mandible not found.

http://s13.zetaboards.com/PorchlightUSA/topic/1182112/1/

Location of body found - Leakin Park near 4200 Franklintown Road and Weatherville Road. I wonder if Weatherville Road is not mistyped/misspelled and it should be rather Wetheredsville. Might look into it sometime later.
 
While searching more on this case, I came across missing person Tomeka Jefferson, who disappeared few month after this Jane Doe was found. Her boyfriend, who went missing with her, was located dead in the same Leakin Park (on Wetheredsville Road) in April 1996.

Maybe to keep an eye on other Jane Does in the near vicinity. I have opened thread for her

A pettyfogging detail that may aid future researchers:

Baltimore City is independent of any county, and has a role in state government equivalent to a county. Baltimore County surrounds Baltimore City on three sides. Leakin Park is in Baltimore City, but not in Baltimore County.
 
1995 and what did they do with the evidence?? No DNA?? How are they ever going to solve this case! :(
 
I can't believe how many bodies are buried there, this is crazy.
