??? Was the skull of asian origin? of was it african?
"I think this child was not exposed to the general public, and that's possibly why she was able to go unnoticed," said Sergeant Richard Converse, who has been on the case since its onset.
It has been nearly three years and authorities are still trying to identify the skeletal remains of little "Jane Doe" in Opelika...
Dental records indicate the child was African-American and between 4 and 7-years-old when she died; however, the size of her skull could indicate she was even younger. This inconsistency may be due to the fact that the child suffered from a disability, or that she was malnourished due to severe neglect. The child also suffered extensive bone injuries and damage in one eye. "The type of injuries explained to us would have been very debilitating," Converse said. "It's really horrible."
On Jan. 28, 2012, the partial skeletal remains of a little girl were found in the woods behind a mobile home park in Opelika, according to Police Capt. Shane Healey. The child, of African heritage, likely died between 2011 and 2012. Authorities determined Opelika Jane was between 4 and 7 years old. She was likely "abused and malnourished" before her death leading authorities to believe she was murdered.
Her height, weight and eye color could not be determined from the remains but the FBI Victims Identification Project created a facial reconstruction that shows what she may have looked like. She has not been buried, Healey said. "Her remains are still being analyzed by forensic scientists for clues," he said.
