Someone left the following comments on a blog post of mine about this case. I didn't authenticate the individual's identity.

"My daughter had several tattoo's. On the back of her neck in about 1 inch English Script she had SMITH. She had a small heart on I believe the outside of her left leg down towards the ankle. She had a couple others, but I can't remember.
The car was located at an apartment house, that has been torn down
and I think there is a clinic there now. I don't know if the police found any fingerprints?? They had the car for about a month and tore it apart. They still have all her private belongings that were left in the car." Posted Aug 2021.
