These recons are so much better.
Tracy Single Is the Third Trans Woman Murdered in Texas This YearThe best way to identify them (as we don't know how they identified it's best to use gender neutral pronouns imo) would likely be through friends rather than family. At the time many people in the LGBTQ+ community were rejected by their family, especially POC. The documentary Paris is Burning gives a good insight into this. The LGBTQ+ community, especially POC, banded together in large cities to form their own families.
Sadly, that might also be a dead end for identifying this Doe. Most of these communities have died out because of the AIDS crisis and because LGBTQ+ (again, especially POC) are targets of violence and murder. According to the TSER, trans women have a 1 in 12 chance of being murdered in their lifetime. That statistic is 1 in 8 for trans women of colour. In statistics for the year 2011, 87% of murder victims of anti-LGBTQ+ hate crime in the US were people of colour, and 45% of all murder victims of these hate crimes were trans women. The statistics from 1986 would likely be worse. A lot of this person's friends are probably no longer with us. It's very, very sad.
Disappointed to see that they only have very low matches.
Their new highest match is 56.3 cM. A small step towards their identification!Disappointed to see that they only have very low matches.
Fingers crossed it means they were identified!Their Namus page is down...
I have checked Texas missing persons bulletin, which is on the official Texas police website, and their page has been removed from there as well. I think it can not be a coincidence.Wow! I hope this means that they've been identified.
