NamUs just listed a case of a UID that was found off of State Route 58 in Huntington TWP, OH that was found in a field, estimated between 1980-2011. Just skeletal remains, no hair mentioned. The only thing found were press on nails, a sequined top or dress, and undergarments. Her nails and clothing, the possible time of her death, and the fact she was found close to a highway in the mid-West, made me think of these cases. I wonder how many more are out there.

I generally dislike NamUs profiles, especially ones without pics. The stats they give could often include just about anyone. I'll let this one slide in that respect since they likely haven't been able to examine her thoroughly.
From this one, I take it that she was a sexually mature yet pre-menopausal female (the age range of 16-55). She was likely killed around 2006, but could have been killed as early as 1980 (that's a big time-span).
Her clothing makes me think that she was in the lower half of the estimated age range (at least at the time of death). She was wearing a spaghetti-strap shirt and a "brand" name (Victoria's Secret) bra. Plus the french manicure fake nails makes me think the younger end, too.
Regarding the Victoria's Secret bra... I know there have been VS stores in Louisville since at least the early/mid-1990's.
I don't wear/buy girls' underthings, so I may be a little off on that date.
Louisville is generally where we go when someone in my area goes "to the mall." It looks like Cleveland would be the "go to the mall" town for where she was found, or perhaps Columbus a bit further south of there.
Anyway, I looked up some history of the company. It was started in San Francisco in 1977 and rapidly spread into malls during the mid-1980's. Then I saw that they were noted for having one of the "best-selling catalogs." So basically, looking for when/where she could have gone to a Victoria's Secret to get the bra went out the door. Having a catalog would make it just as simple to buy something if you're in
BFE as it would be to get it if you were in NYC.
And most of the "Redhead" victims were found near Interstates, or at least major thoroughfares. This lady was found about halfway between I-20 and I-71, though not really
close to either.
On the
Peugot watch...
I know that they make cars. But watches?
I guess they could, but I've never heard of a
Ford,
Chevy,
Toyota,
Mercedes or
Land Rover watch.
If it were some kind of promotional item, we should look for folks missing from outside of the USA that could have gone to the USA. It's a French company, but I only know of them from a few trips to Ireland many years back. I am sure that someone "over here" probably owns one, but I can't recall ever knowing anyone that actually drives a Peugot.
Hopefully, more info will be learned/released about her.
As it stands now, this could be either a high school student or her grandma. The date-of-death range basically covers my whole life (I'm 36) and would include countless missing females. Plus, we don't know if she's white/black/Hispanic/Asian/etc...
