Identified! NY - Queens, BlkFem 161UFNY, 15-21, braces, braided hair extensions, Jan'97 - n/a

https://www.findthemissing.org/en/cases/17908/88 Amma Konadu. Missing from Nj months after this uid was found, but sparse details in her case, so no telling if the Lka date is accurate or not.

Nice catch. Anna had braided hair, too.

Did anybody submit Amma Konadu?

The UID still isn't in Namus.

 

[KaylaraOwl]

I didn't, because I just don't think there was enough information indicating that it might be her.

 

[carbuff]

Yeah, there's not a lot to go on, and not much in the way of identifiers to work with. Hopefully the new fingerprint system will turn up a match.

This girl has no mention of braces but is a runaway

Oh wow thank you, so I guess she was identified?

We can ask the mods to move her to identified. Thank you

what happened to this poor girl!

 

[KaylaraOwl]

Amma's case profile is still live, so this is probably not her.

 

[Fuuro]

I'm happy that she has been identified after 21 years. I couldn't find any news as to whether or not they've even developed an idea of who might have killed her, though.

Has it been confirmed that she was murdered?

I'm so glad some old NY cases of deceased black women and men are being solved - there are SO MANY if you look back in the last few pages of Websleuths back to cases last commented on in 2019.

How do I look back?

If she’s a homicide victim why is her identity being withheld don’t they need to find out who killed her.

How do I look back?

If you go to the main Unidentified forum there are currently 229 pages of unidentified deceased.

At the bottom of the first page you’ll see there is a box with a list of pages. If you click on the box with 3 dots in it, you can choose a random page number - try Page 216 for example, and you’ll see what I mean. I often lurk in those back pages, but for many NY cases I don’t see any good possible matches out there and many have no ruleouts in Namus.

Do we know if her homicide was solved or not though.
