I wonder what the script on the dog tag is? A monogram, maybe?

Its a bit disheartening to read the circumstances on her NamUs page. All it says is "found under bridge at I-45." She doesn't even have a doe network page. It seems as though there was no effort put into trying to find out who she was. Thanks for posting and bringing her to our attention.

A recon of this UID has recently been released:

After more than 36 years, her identity remains unknown. HPD sketch artist Lois Gibson created the composite sketch this year based on a photo taken by the medical examiner.

This is the other one with the ties to the Huntsville Jane Doe. The one they suspect a serial killer due to similar details.
