With no sketch or reconstruction, I wonder if perhaps this little guy have some type of cranial-facial pattern/deformity, and LE is trying childrens' hospitals, dentists, children's services first?

Something like a cleft palate at some step in the repair sequence? Stretching his lower jaw?

Micrognathia | Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

Micrognathia is characterized by an undersized jaw. It is a symptom of many craniofacial conditions treated by CHOP’s Craniofacial Program.

They'll try the public if that doesn't work?

On Friday, Indiana State Police revealed the boy's autopsy final diagnosis. The autopsy found the boy had an electrolyte imbalance likely due to a virus that caused vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration.

The blood toxicology report came back negative, and investigators said the boy was not injured. There was no anatomical cause of death listed, police said.

A memorial service has been scheduled for 11 a.m. on Wednesday, June 1 to honor the life of the unidentified young boy.

The service will be at Weather's Funeral Home at 106 S. Shelby St. Salem, Indiana 47167.

how sad. but they didnt seek care so that places the caregiver responsible.

Riley Children's Hospital is located in Indianapolis. They treat sick children from all over Indiana and other places, including worldwide, that local or area hospitals do nor have the staff, capability or resources to treat. There are dozens of specialized departments. Departments and Programs

Of course, there is also St. Jude in Memphis, TN, that treats childhood cancer.

Both Riley and Peyton Manning Children's (also Indianapolis) treat a wide array of conditions (including craniofacial anomalies)- but seriously- half the guys I see with beards have micrognathia underneath all that hair! It is VERY common. But I am really puzzled that they have not released a rendering of this discarded child's face. And I absolutely cannot think of a reason WHY either.

What is even more puzzling is that this case has received almost NO publicity in Indiana, especially in northern Indiana. The only reason I can think of is that LE asked news media not to cover it for some reason. Again, Why?

I'm a little bit angry they haven't given any updates or released the reconstruction for him

Hoping that there is a lot going on behind the scenes that they are not discussing or making known publicly.

 

[aimeea]

I really want to be hopeful about this case but then I remember how the Amiah Robertson case went... and with that case they even had the POI last seen with the child in custody and released him

 

[Nell91]

Bump.
How on earth has he not been identified yet? I can bet that at least one organisation has reached out to LE to help with the science-y side, maybe it's all being done quietly?

 

[ipa]

Hopefully they are working on something conclusive... otherwise where is the reconstruction? It's been too long.

 

[RyGuy611]

I too am wondering why no reconstruction was made. Child cases are usually high priority, so you'd think NCMEC or at least any other agency would step in to provide one.

 

[Nell91]

Has there been any more media coverage since? It's just all so.. quiet. I'd have thought this would have been a much bigger story than it has been reported

 

[Gemmie]

Nothing much new.

"Like in any investigation, our detectives are very active looking at every angle they can," explained Sgt. Carey Huls with the Indiana State Police. "We're still looking for some of those answers, as far as if somebody has information about a possible -- this child could be this person they haven't seen for awhile, to give us that call."

Police say they've checked the national database for missing children, but so far, there have been no matches to the black child believed to be 5 years old.

"Most of those tips, again, as it was early on, were related to a missing child from Virginia which we've already said -- Codi Bigsby, a very tragic case where he's still missing -- it's been shown and we've said publicly that it's not Codi Bigsby, but that's still the number one call that comes in," Sgt. Huls said.

3 months after boy found in suitcase in Indiana, hard questions remain

It's been three months since a boy was found dead inside a suitcase in Washington County, Indiana, and Yvonne Casey wants answers.

I'm sorry but surely now is the time to approach genetic genealogists since none of these leads seem to be going anywhere and it's been months. I absolutely appreciate LE and their methods, I just feel irrationally angry for this poor little boy, particularly that the people that dumped him like rubbish are still out there

A reconstruction was made by NCMEC, the LE just hasn't released it because they're worried about damaging the investigation.

I'm getting impatient with them too.

Do you have a source for your information that you can post? I'd like to read more on that.

I remember seeing it in an article mentioned somewhere in the thread.
