I will say from the start, I don't think this is a case that amateurs should be working on. She appears to be lost at sea and quite often when someone is lost at sea, they are lost for all time. The only thing I would keep in mind is that her suit might have had some endurability as it was a survival suit.
I did find a legal notification in The Anchorage Times from December 15th, 1985. It didn't hold back at all when it came to her fate but explicitly called her deceased. Oftentimes in the legal notifications in the classifieds, they will state "Presumed Deceased" or something of that nature. But in the case of Julia Stettinger, it's very clear that the authorities considered her dead just four months after her accident (in other cases, people aren't considered dead for years).
