Could this be a match?


The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

That's a very good possibility IMO. Does anyone know how to follow up on this potential match? Or perhaps that has already been done?

LE looked into Hattie back when the Girl in the Box was found. The possible match is discussed in the Girl's thread:

PA - PA - Philadelphia, BlkFem 4-6, UP16611, Amputated Finger, Wht apron, in milk crate, May'62

UP#16611 I was going through the recent listings on NamUs when I came across this case. What stood out was the brutality of this child's murder and the odd similarity to another, more well-known UID case, although I doubt they are related. Demographics Age: 4 - 6 years Race: Black/African...

Just heartbreaking. It's difficult to find much more information on this, it seems. I'm glad Charley Project is putting this on their front page. Even though the chances of justice being done are small, Hattie deserves the attention.

Cropped Photo:

For some reason her middle name is E. here instead of Y. as in Yvonne. Maybe police misheard her family at the time. It also says she was 7, not 6. In fact, a lot of them say she was 7. These are probably errors with estimates of her DOB though.

EDIT: Found out why he middle name is E. Seems her middle name in the records is Evon.

I want to get this photo on more of the major sources to give people a better idea of what Hattie looked like. How would I do that and would this photo even be accepted?
