The tattoos and weight don't quite match up but it's pretty close.https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/7079/27/

The two stomach area scars are what really made this stand out to me. Also the fact she left with a duffle bag, which could mean she wasn't planning on returning. Would love to know if the Jane Doe had had children.

110th Street at the FDR Drive (on the East River)


This building handles sewage from much of Upper Manhattan (about 1/3 of the city's total), removing solid materials from the sewage before the liquid flows to a water treatment plant on Wards Island and, ultimately, into the East River. This facility opened in 1937 along with the Wards Island plant and the city's other grit chamber in the Bronx, which also empties into the Wards Island plant. The "screenings" are collected into 10-cubic-yard garbage containers and driven to Wards Island before ultimately being shipped to landfills out of state.

The NY Times had an excellent article in 2006 (available HERE) with a description of the operation of the facility, including an internal photo and an enumeration of some of the terrifying things that come flowing in from the city's sewers on a daily basis.

I keep coming back to this woman trying to understand how she got into the treatment plant.. Does the water that flow through here only come from the toilets and the sewers or does it come from someplace else. Just trying to understand where a body could be places for it to flow into the treatment plant.

Well maybe we would've liked to see what they consider indecipjerable. Is it 5 more letters or 1 that can't be determined? Could it be Carlito or could it be carlita Anne? This stuff drives me nuts more lately than it ever has, but I am so glad they shared that much. Most people who knew this person or the person she dated or hung around with probably left the area. So frustrating! But there is more to work with. !!!
