No age, gender, etc as of yet.

NOTE: If the above article generates an image of a necklace near the bottom of the page, that image is actually related to a separate UID case in Kansas City, KS, the previous day.

Authorities need help identifying woman’s remains found last April in KC

The remains were found April 5, 2016 in the 8600 block of East Truman Road in Kansas City. They are believed to be that of an African-American woman, approximately 25- to 32-years-old and approximately 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-9.

Jackson County sheriff’s deputies released Friday a clay reconstruction of what the woman may have looked like at the time of her death.

April Pickens?

29 yo mother of 5 missing from Asheville, NC since December 2011 after meeting an unknown male friend. She is a couple inches shorter than the range given for our UID and Asheville, NC is a long distance from KCMO, but I will post her here anyways. April has fingerprints and DNA available.The reconstruction has very close-set eyes.

"Please note - The hair length and style are the artist's interpretation and the victim's true length and style may have been different," the sheriff's office said.

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
The NamUs page for this UID page has been modified and it now says the remains are those of a Male

After DNA studies were completed....it was determined the subject is a male instead of a female....Anthropologically, the subject presents as female. The subject is described as small in stature / build. Edits to the sex of the subject will be made in the database to reflect a male subject.

That's strange. I wonder if they could be wrong about the age then too? I have read that it's more difficult to determine the gender of children or young teens based on skeletal remains only.

This guy's car was found crashed in almost the exact same location in 2011. He was missing from the scene:

Good find CO. He's about 4 inches shorter than the UID but we know heights can be wrong for a variety of reasons. Thanks for submitting him!

Also putting up Curtis Crowley as a possible Missing people in Kansas City, Missouri

Not sure if this is the same man, but there is someone with the same name who was arrested in Ohio in 2014 for faking his own kidnapping: Man Charged For Faking His Own Kidnapping

Has anyone considered the possibility of this decedent being Dashad Smith #MP18608 ?
The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)
Smith went missing a few years earlier in Virginia but could have very well made it to Missouri in that time.
The resemblance is uncanny and they're the same height (5'8").

The biggest similarity, IMO, is the fact that both cases are transgender.
Namus describes this decedent as "anthropologically, a female." That likely translates to "cross-dresser" or "transgender."
Dashad "Sage" Smith also is reported to present as female.

WOW CO! Very possible that he was injured, ran off but due to his injuries he didn't survive. Good find, I admire your find very much!

I sent Sage into the ME as a possible match for this Doe, and she has been ruled out by dental comparison.

There is no evidence whatsoever that this UID is transgender. "Anthropologically, a female" means that the skeletal remains have physical features that appear more often in women than in men - no brow ridge, a wide pelvis, etc. That finding has no connection to being transgender.

Skeletal sex characteristics exist on a continuum and this may very well be simply a matter of a man whose skeleton is simply less rugged than average, but it might also be a sign of an intersex condition such as gonadal dysgenesis.

Blurgle · Nov 30, 2019

I should add that if this person is intersex, they may have been externally 100% female and might not even have been aware that they were XY. People without access to good medical care may live their entire lives not knowing they're intersex.
