I’ve never seen that before. What causes something like that to change? Can anyone chime in with some input as to how/why that happens?

Does she have any rule-outs? Houston & Dallas have a large trafficking scene.

Just guesswork, but I think there were duplicate profiles created for her, and when they realized it they removed one of them. I think duplicate MP entries might occur when the profiles are created by different entities: PD, family, etc.

Thanks so much for the clarification. I didn’t realize that could happen. Glad to hear though that many separate entities are working on her case. I hope she is found safe and is returned to her family (assuming that is what she wants but is unable to do so)

Oh, I don’t know if there are multiple entities working her case, it was just a theory why a person may end up with two different NamUs entries. But it could be something else.

I just remembered an instance where a second NamUs profile was created last week for a missing man from Arkansas. The investigating agengy is the same, but the date of last contact is different, so perhaps they missed the first profile if they searched by date. This is also a possibility for duplicate entries..

Gotcha my mistake. I guess I’m just glad they noticed a duplicate and changed it. I’ve seen many profiles especially of poc missing persons where they put incorrect race or make very simple admistrative mistakes, which often get overlooked sometimes. I just hope it means they are actually doing something and working towards the resolution of this missing persons case.
