They should probably have been more clear that more than one set of remains were mixed in with each other. Knowing how many, and who was with who, would help set things straight. I wonder if Othram has any thoughts of also taking on the other apparently still unidentified girl.

Yeah, they definitely need to be more clear about who's ID'd and who isn't with these Does! More than one set of 'co-mingled' remains would make it make more sense.

NAMUS is still up, but according to Othram she has been identified? They are attempting to identify the Doe that this Doe was mingled with and their page about him says that the identity of this Doe (who is female according to NAMUS) is known...

Interesting that the Othram page states that the bones this Doe were co-mingled with were identified. There's a thread for that Doe but it doesn't have any info on them being ID'd: FL - Weeki Wachee, UnsUnc UP61264, adult, co-mingled w/another victim, estYOD 1975-1981, Apr'81 The NAMUS of that...

RSBM. I hope the two sisters who went with them didn't also turn into victims...

Another reminder not to pay too much attention to estimated age ranges. Hers was 28-52. She was almost ten years younger than the youngest estimate! RIP Yvonne.

How odd. Skeletonised, to the point they don't even know the sex, but there's a tattoo? It says one or both hands not recovered, so maybe the skeleton is actually even less complete and they don't have the pelvis to tell the sex. But then, there's a height estimate. And DNA would tell them the...

All the possibilities I can find prior to 1940 are in their 20s or they're too young (children not teens). I suppose the gunshot wound doesn't necessarily mean homicide, she could have taken her own life and her skull ended up in the pond. But murder is much more likely if we're being realistic...

Sadly I think it happens quite often (especially in the past) that people will donate their bodies to science and won't understand that that means the people who get the body can do what they like with it for the most part. Including selling the body parts as oddities, or selling to other places...

RSBM If that's the case (which seems likely considering the mother had the passport photos done on Nov 1st) why does the landlord claim to have seen him at Thanksgiving in November?

The post above mine. 'A very exciting case update will be coming soon on Preble County Penny Doe! Stand By!'

If it's an ID, then that was very fast! She must have had a close relative on GEDmatch if she's been ID'd that fast.

I wonder if it could also be some sort of phone data or some other kind of data that could track the movements of the mother/stepfather around the time LE thinks they disposed of Noel.

As someone from one of those countries that had a mass shooting and then banned guns and hasn't had another once since, banning guns helps. It really does. Every country has societal issues. Not every country has mass shootings on a near daily basis.

I know various UK agencies are looking into genetic genealogy and its legal and ethical implications. Not just the police. Perhaps now that we're not in the EU, the privacy laws are more flexible. I know this technique has been used in a couple of European countries. Can't remember if that was...

I hope they find him soon so he can be given a proper burial by those who loved him. Including the community and LE who are banding together for this little boy. I feel like maybe stopping taking him to the doctors should have been more than a threat of taking the benefits away. It should have...

It's an older link, but this is an example. Talks about how in some states, an underage girl fleeing an abusive marriage is legally a runaway. This source discusses children who are married being unable to divorce or seek shelter. Even in states that emancipate underage brides, there may still...

The UK doesn't use that technique because of privacy laws, I believe.

I was horrified when I first learned about it. Some people in the US bring up child marriage as some sort of 'gottem' when talking about less developed countries, but they don't realise it's happening right outside their front door. Legally. My own country (UK) recently changed the marriage age...

Noel's older siblings who were taken to India are old enough to remember what happened, some of them may have seen something. I hope that when Noel's mother and stepfather are extradited back to the US, the kids are brought back too and asked what happened. And that they go to stay with loving...
