Circumstances
Unidentified Living was approximately 4-5 years old in June 1977, when left in the care of a casual acquaintance by the purported mother of the child. The purported mother may have went by the Name Debbie Gutierrez or "Bombshell" (unverified), and she never reappeared to claim her child, relinquish custody or provide a birth certificate of any other documentation for the unidentified living. The acquaintance passed the child to another woman who raised her and subsequently petitioned the court for guardianship.

No identity documents have ever been provided and the Unidentified Living person has no proof of birth name, date of birth, or birth mother's name. It is not known if the woman presenting as Debbie Gutierrez was, in fact, the biological mother.

Fingerprints and DNA samples are available, dental is not.

 
I'm actually amazed that there hasn't been a thread for this girl yet. I'm going to put who I think she might be below.

https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/5505/0 - Melissa Highsmith, 1, 1971, TX (she has a birthmark but babies' birthmarks may disappear over time - mine did)

https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/2684/4 - Christina Carter, 3, 1973, AL

https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/6233/7 - Sheri Johnson, 4, 1974, MO

https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/24935/8 - Patricia Wood, 4, 1976, NH

I just hope she gets identified soon. If she was alive, i wonder where she is now.
 
is this person still alive? accounted for?


I assume she is due to the Namus case file being recent. I'd even go as far as guessing it was the abandoned girl herself who contacted the authorities seeking her bio family.

I wish they would get DNA in the system. At least that way she could be ruled out as possibly being kidnapped and reported missing.

If I am correct about this girl seeking her identity, I hope she has also tried the various genealogy dna databases and testing.
 
Going by the supposed mom's last name and the photo of the girl, I'd guess her to be hispanic. Her hair is definitely not "sandy," unless sand is brown. She's a remarkably adorable little girl. There's a slew of Debbie Gutierrezs on FB. I tend to believe that people in situations tell partial truths. My bet? Mom couldn't raise the child, or feared for the safety of the child, and is alive and well in some other state. Or maybe even her native country. I'll bet the girl was never reported missing.
 
Bumping... Any updates on this case?
 
Her NamUs file is no longer active. Has she been identified?
 
No idea. I didn't see any news on it. I'm assuming she's been identified. Do we have any missing kids from that era that have been removed from the missing persons list recently?
 
No idea. Jennifer's Namus profile is still up though.
 
Gonna take a wild guess and bet that Jennifer's thread was pulled because of last year's scam attempt.

As for lill' Jane Doe, her DoeNetwork page is still up.

I was thinking this as well, but I thought that adminastrators locked the thread and removed the posts about the scammer, and then allowed the thread to be accessible again. Whatever the case, I may just create a thread for her myself.
