Our most famous Trans thread Julie Doe is not on this thread ( at least I don’t remember if she is) I know she has been mentioned but don’t think her thread was never posted.

Kim Ramirez's case is sad. I don't know why they didn't include a picture of her in the purple/silver wig since that was likely how she normally presented herself.

I know or at least one photo with it on and the other with it off.

I do have to say.. at least they actually included the clothing and wig.. usually the NYC unidentified cases don’t have any clothing or accessories which is so so puzzling in itself!!
