Love Ari seems to be a small boutique that is on SM and online but their SM has not been updated since 2022. Their site is also down so I am not sure if they are still in business.

they dont have any weight estimates, but because the pants were a 2XL, i'd wager this UID was overweight or obese.
also, no age range??

 

[Sweetluv]

Wonder if the orthopedic plates have a manufacturer ID # ?
Sometimes these parts will be stamped..

Terry Barnes had been reported missing only a couple of months prior to her being found in Buffalo Bayou. She was believed to be suffering from a mental health issue which might make her look disoriented.

RIP Terry Barnes

RIP Terry Barnes

If you look up Terrys missing flier, it's stated she was last seen in pink puff girl pants. I wonder if she took clothes with her or if she was hanging about elsewhere. Not that it really matters!

RIP Terry

Edit: I kinda answered my own question by actually reading the pay properly, possible sighting two weeks after she went missing so quite probable she got clothes elsewhere.
