    AZ AZ - Grand Canyon, 'Little Miss X' UP9859, Wht/Hisp Fem, 11-17, nail file case "P" & "R", Oct'58

    Since it seems nobody has mustered the courage to contact Avis' relatives, should I do it? In case something useful like photos or more specific identification data (dental info? More detailed height or medical info?) come up, though, it would probably be more useful to have an American contact...

    Identified! NC - Durham Co., UP15960, 25-35, in plastic storage container, Oct'16 - Melissa “Missy” Ann Poitra

    If this UID happened to be Autumn, it would have been smart of her killer/the one who disposed the body to remove the nose piercing and get rid of it in trash etc. It's probably impossible due to decomposition to say from the corpse if the UID had had a piercing or not.

    Canada - Anthony Raine, 17 mos, found dead, Edmonton, April 2017 *Arrests*

    There seems to be a lot of confusion about the stroller picture, and if the child is in it or not. To me, it looks very much like a checkered blanket folded over the toddler.

    WA WA - Spanaway, AsianFem 22-32, UP5673, found by dog, clothes, green Tommy Hilfiger shoe, Feb'03

    Just wanted to make sure before I start going in depth with my ideas. So... European size 31 (that should be about the same as American children's size 12) is a size my five-year old kid is wearing. That is extremely rare for an adult, even for a small lady like the UID. Even most of the...

    WA WA - Spanaway, AsianFem 22-32, UP5673, found by dog, clothes, green Tommy Hilfiger shoe, Feb'03

    Wait a second. I'm from Europe so I'm not extremely familiar with American shoe sizes. Based on the size charts I checked, though... This UID either wore the adult size 12, which is roughly the same as size 42 in European sizes, or child size 12, which is around European size 31. Basically, her...

    CA CA - Los Angeles, HispFem 484UFCA, 12-15, in alley, distinctive tattoo, May'89

    It feels a bit inappropriate to suggest this but something came to my mind that might be worth checking so I felt I had to bring it up anyway. I have a strong hunch that this poor girl could have been a prostitute. Does anyone know if there were organizations at the time in the area that worked...

    AZ AZ - Grand Canyon, 'Little Miss X' UP9859, Wht/Hisp Fem, 11-17, nail file case "P" & "R", Oct'58

    Should we contact Asis's family and aske very briefly about her height? If this isn't her, a question about height wouldn't be an innecessary shock or disturbance and could succesfully rule out one possibility. If the height matches well, though, this sounds like a real possibility. With a...

    AZ AZ - Grand Canyon, 'Little Miss X' UP9859, Wht/Hisp Fem, 11-17, nail file case "P" & "R", Oct'58

    Even though there certainly are a lot of adults who could be interpreted as children due to their size, I'd say confusion like this is almost impossible. The bone structure of a mature woman is very different from one of a 11-14 -year-old and the developmental stage of the teeth and jaw must...

    FL FL - Bahia Honda Key, WhtFem 31UFFL, 17-25, on rocks under bridge, Mar'79

    Has anyone gone through girls who'd been missing longer, 5-10 years? She seems so identifiable that I'd suspect the reason for her staying unidentified has to be the time frame. If she run away (seems unlikely), was abducted by a stranger or kidnapped by a relative those 5-10 years ago, her...

    Identified! NC - Durham Co., UP15960, 25-35, in plastic storage container, Oct'16 - Melissa “Missy” Ann Poitra

    I don't want to sound pessimistic but we probably won't get the photos. Basically... I don't want to say this in a disrespectful way but when a piece of clothing is stored in a closed contained with a decomposing body for extended periods of time, it is very hard to turn it back to a condition...

    TX TX - Taylor Co, WhtFem 40, UP4140, Horse Woman, Worked on Ranches, aliases, tattoo, Sep'87

    It seems that she was plenty identified - if identification means people recognizing her by looks, knowing a nickname, knowing where she worked/lived etc. What is missing is her legal information: the name she had on her birth certificate, her legal address or such.

    TX TX - Houston, Bones From 5 Different Indvs In Cardboard Box, May'86

    I have a pretty heavy suspicion that these aren't murder victims. If the only thing found was a small selection of mismatched bones unceremoniously stored in a box and left to an empty apartment, well... doesn't sound like a serial killing to me. Sounds really weird that a killer would have just...

    TX TX - Madisonville, UnkFem 2-6, UP15905, feeding tube, in suitcase, clothes, blankets, Sep'16

    I've been thinking about this case and potential ways to solve it and I'd like to ask if people from the US could clarify some things. I'm from a country with a largely different medical and education infrastructure so I'm not quite sure which ones could be applied to this case. Thanks in...

    Identified! NC - Durham Co., UP15960, 25-35, in plastic storage container, Oct'16 - Melissa “Missy” Ann Poitra

    I find it very odd that the body was placed to the container fully clothed from the waist down (jeans, socks and shoes) but there is no mention of a shirt of any kind. So was the person topless while killed and disposed, or did the killer (or killers, or somebody who didn't quite kill the victim...

    CA CA - Los Angeles, BlkMale 15-20, UP#16394, Shot By Police, Feb'68

    I'd guess his age estimation is based on multiple things, not only height. Maybe he had fully developed wisdom teeth, or certain fillings etc. in his teeth that were used in a certain phase, or maybe his bones and/or joints show distinctive signs of heavy labor or long-term sports background...

    NH NH - Allenstown, Adult Female & 3 Children, found Nov'85 & May'00

    Thank you, Lilibet. I've been thinking that the best chance to identify them would probably be either a friendly lady who has lived nearby (maybe someone who had own children or grandchildren or just liked kids), a schoolmate or a teacher who remembers teaching one of the older kids a while, or...

    Identified! CA - Pacifica, WhtFem 593UFCA, 25-46, found in tent, Jun'06 - Christine Kuhn

    Are the birth dates of missing people available anywhere? I have the feeling that the date she had previously told to a police might actually be correct. Without her real name and birthplace police would not have done anything with that, which she probably knew. But by telling the truth with...

    NH NH - Allenstown, Adult Female & 3 Children, found Nov'85 & May'00

    I’ve been studying this case for close to a year now and on my opinion, the victim recognition –centered approach may harm solving it. The thing is – if they had been noticed missing or reported at some point, they would already be known. I'm very new on this site and English is my third...

    TX TX - Madisonville, UnkFem 2-6, UP15905, feeding tube, in suitcase, clothes, blankets, Sep'16

    This is my first reply to the forum so please forgive me for being a bit clumsy. This case, especially the forensic details of it and who has collected the data and how, puzzles me a lot. I've studied quite a lot about disabilities and worked with disabled people and what came to my mind is...
