Without a doubt, this will be the most difficult part of my research. 1962 was well before the digital age and communication between jurisdictions was seriously lacking compared to today. The only thing I can think to do is check each county, one-by-one, for missing persons around the time her remains were found. No easy feat, but hopefully something will come of it. There doesn't seem to be many options left at this point.
