Good morning richandfamous,
I know you'll want to roll your eyes when you see this from me, and I don't mean to be the negative one, BUT...
if I am understanding these two that are being compared, wouldn't that mean that Monique would have not grown, or would have only gained an inch or two in all the years betwn. her disappnc. and the death if this UID? She was only 11 when she disapp'd., surely she would have grown at least a little in height from age 11 forward...? Well, I guess she may have been destined to not be any taller in life than 5 feet-ish. Certainly there are some full-grown women no taller than that. So maybe...
But the hair color also bothers me. Monique is clearly Hispanic w/ dk. brn. if not black hair. This UID's hair was light brown or dark blonde and maybe some kind of red enhancement. I know it could have been dyed. There are forensic tests for that...I wonder if they ran one on this UID? Sometimes hair on a UID can lighten up from being exposed to the elements, but sadly, this one was encased in plastic. Probabaly not receiving sun or wind damage.
The facial reconstruction on the skull (clay sculpture) and the facial reproduction (B/W drawing) look similar to each other in the nose and eyes, esp., but they don't really resemble the facial reproduction from NCMEC (color computer enhanced one). But, the latter DOES seem to grasp the multi-possibility hair color situation...Hmmm. I just don't know. But they all DO show this person (UID) with the longer type of face that Monique has/had. The earlier projection of what Monique may have looked like later in life had her teeth predicted as much bigger/longer than what the UID actually had. (The one on the TX MPCH site).
Have you heard anything back yet? Well, if it is true that Monique is no longer living, then I do hope you are correct in your match, rich.
How very sad...
