Yep, I'm pretty sure that's an outdated term in relation to immigrants and kind of surprised its used on something so recent.
I think it's a mistake in the description. It doesn't make any sense. Are they suggesting her husband led border patrol to her remains, which would make more sense? Or were the remains were found *by* as in, *near* the husband's remains? Or were they found by someone else's husband?
Ahhh, so I’m guessing they weren’t able to get anything from her, maybe?
Weird. Because I was wondering how do they know that’s this guy’s wife but she’s still unidentified? Confusing description.
They probably have DNA on her but nothing to compare it to. Chances are she doesn't have any blood relatives in the US, and any family in Mexico may not know what happened to her. I know there's Facebook groups dedicated to people who went missing while crossing the border, and there's a thread here for it too. Since we have a tentative name for her, it might be possible, but it's harder since there's no pics or any distinguishing features.
I think the only way we could determine anything about the UID is finding an Arely Plata Tovar or Plata or Tovar who was under the age of 40 back in 2021-2022, so maybe about in her thirties, maybe late twenties who lives or lived in Mexico according to her FB profile. Sucks because Arely is a fairly common name and Plata is not terribly uncommon, haven’t heard Tovar though in a while.
