I wonder if this UID found in Tennesee could potentially be a match?
https://identifyus.org/en/cases/1577
Seems awfully far away, but they've tested her against missing people from as far away as New Hampshire. I wish the missing person information available for Connie gave more information about her shoes. This UID was found with high-top type hiking shoes that were lined with red fabric (not clear that they belonged to the UID, but could be). Connie's were leather, but there is no description of them beyond that.
The reconstruction bears a striking resemblance, in my opinion.
It is not clear to me when this girl died, Connie went missing in the 1950's could they really be the same?
When I Googled "average shoe size for a 10 year old girl", I found that anything between size 4 to size 6 was average. The shoes found with this UID were size 5 or 6. The Namus entry mentions a necklace of plastic buttons - could this have been an arts and crafts project from camp??
While I don't see the resemblance as being as striking as you do, I do see some similarity. I really feel you should submit this one.

I do think she left camp-too many people have seen her, but I think she was followed. I wonder-how old was Camp Sloane? Was it nationally known? Why did her parents send her there? Did Connie want to go? Had there been any other incidents reported at this camp? Also who funded this camp? Was it a private camp? Were influential citizens backers of this camp?
I agree that it's not unlikely that she's close by. Even if she was kidnapped/assaulted, her attacker wouldn't have had to go very far to hide her very well. There is so much remote and wooded land in that area, even today.
I would not be surprised if someone in the local area abducted Connie. I wonder if there were any known pedophiles in the area and if they were checked out. It seems far more likely she was taken by someone passing by who saw the opportunity than that she was taken across country, although anything is possible.
For some reason I think the most vital bit of info on this sad case is the fact that she left without her glasses. She was apparently very near sighted. That to me opens up the possibility that she may have met with an accident, perhaps stepped in front of a car and maybe the driver panicked after realizing he'd killed her. She could also have gone off the road and fallen in an abandoned well, the possibilities are manifold.
