[Ms. Sleuth]

Here are some cases that could match. I tried to match the picture as well as the description of the unidentified female.
Namus database case numbers:
#MP12536 best match in my opinion
#MP12033 2nd best match
#MP18331 maybe...if she gained a lot of weight within 2 years...

This Jane Doe was mentioned in the latest Mysterious WV video. She is currently under consideration as a possible match to Mary Jane Vangilder, who disappeared in 1945 from Ohio.

OH - OH - Mary J. Croft Vangilder, 43, Plymouth, 1945

According to the video, authorities are working on trying to exhume 1969 Cleveland Jane Doe's remains for DNA extraction. But there's no date yet.

She has 25 ruleouts, so I would imagine they very well may have gotten a dna sample

She looks a lot like this woman who went missing a year previously from Canada, who was also wearing a wedding ring.
