Cases submitted to NamUs for comparison.
On May 10, 1982, Annabelle Marie Ludwig went missing from Cridersville, OH. Approximately 9 months later, a female matching Annabelle's physical description was found "lying over an embankment off U.S. Rt. 250, one mile north of Littleton, WV" (roughly a 260 mile drive from Annabelle's last location).
According to Annabelle's family, she had "tendencies to leave the family for weeks at a time but always returned," and may have planned travel to Florida. Annabelle's case file states that she had a "mole or beauty mark on, or above, upper lip," although, I'm not sure it would have been as noticeable given the state of the unidentified to have been mentioned.
I believe Annabelle's photo (most recent?), and the composite sketch of the unidentified look strikingly similar.
