Just a few thoughts...
Because of her lack of dental care, I wonder if the victim was
from one of the poorer sections of nearby Elizabeth, Newark, or
Perth Amboy.
Atlantic Highlands is a small, upscale community, but it is
known to many people and it is a busy location, especially in
the summer. Visitors to the nearby Sandy Hook National Park pass
through the Highlands on Rt. 36, every year. Sandy Hook is a
popular location for beaches, camping, fishing, boating, etc.
There is a terminal for ferries from Atlantic Highlands directly
to New York. Atlantic Highlands has many excellent restaurants,
pubs, and beaches. It's not an isolated location, but I am
thinking that someone knew the area and knew where to dump the
victim's body in the woods on Lower Bayside Drive. I don't know
if someone passing through the Highlands on Rt. 36 would know
that information or know how to access Bayside Drive. Could this
woman have been a local prostitute?

This is Bayside Drive in Atlantic Highlands. It's basically a
quiet lane. The homes are mostly on large properties that sit
above the edge of the water, with beautiful views of New York.
This is not a heavily traveled street. There are still some
small old cottages, but the newer construction is expensive.

She was wearing a long-sleeved gray and red nylon laced top; a
white bra; brown leather platform sandals, size 6 1/2with a 2
1/2 inch-high heel; and knee-high white acrylic socks. Items
found near her body included a portion of one pink rubber
thong-style sandal; and a leather-like shoe or small boot with a
picture of a football scene on the side, stitched in red and
white.
Another source of confusion is the size of the woman's shoes.

The Disco Age and the Sandy Hook Bay
HTML https://i.imgur.com/RVNvTQd.jpg
Platform shoes and knee-high acrylic socks were the rage.
Nightclubs, loud music, gin fizzes, piña coladas, loud clothes,
and dancing all night long--yep, those were the days. Those were
the disco days.
Residents in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey set out in December
1988 to clear a parcel of land alongside the Sandy Hook Bay for
a bicycle path. One of the volunteers thought he was reaching
down to clear a plastic ball when he soon discovered it was my
skull. The authorities were called.
United together, one local police department, two state police
agencies, three medical examiners’ offices, one prosecutor’s
office, and public works set out to find the rest of my remains.
They successfully recovered 85% of me after doing a complete
grid search of the area.
I may have died earlier than 1980, possibly during the disco
rage in the mid-1970s. They don’t know for certain. Here comes
the hardest part--they don’t know my name.
My profile data says I could have been anywhere from 15 to 18
years old, possibly up to 30 years old. I stood 5 feet tall, but
possibly up to 5 feet and 3 inches. I might have weighed 100
pounds, but possibly up to 120 pounds. I was wearing brown
platform sandals, knee-high acrylic socks, and a long sleeved
grey-and-red nylon laced top.
The good news is that they have my DNA and my dental records for
comparison. If you know who I am, or think you know who I am,
the authorities can review the dental records or do a DNA
comparison to a family member.
If anyone out there knows who I am, please call and tell them
who I am!

Dentals: Available. Decedent had significant tooth decay. Gap in
the upper central incisors.
Fingerprints: Not available.
DNA: mtDNA and nucDNA available at UNT. Ref# F3105.1US.
They have both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA. They will be able
to prove who she is, once someone finds the correct match. The
FBI assisted with the clay skull reconstruction. It looks like
they have done a lot of research on this victim. I am wondering
if she has ever been buried and perhaps this is why her remains
have been so accessible to the advances in science.
In 1992, with the assistance of the FBI, a clay reconstruction
was made over the human skull and is a possible resemblance of
what this recovered female skeletal remains may have looked
like. Additionally, several parts of the skeletal remains were
sent to LabCorp in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina for
mitochondrial DNA profiling in 1997. The Monmouth County
Prosecutor’s Office and the Atlantic Highlands Police Department
now have a DNA profile that can be used to link this female
subject to a family member as well as dental records.
