Aww, the first is such an adorable picture. It is sad she was never found. Going by the second picture though, I did a side by side comparison of her with little Miss X's NCMEC reconstruction. And I think the nose is just too different. The width and shape are completely different.View attachment 450100Aug 31, 1951, page 2 - News-Pilot at Newspapers.com - Newspapers.com

Weren't the remains skeletal? It can be difficult to accurately recreate nose shape with only a skull.

Of note also is the fact that this article says she was either "Mexican, [Native American], or Mexican-Caucasian". They seem fairly confident that Little Miss X was not white.I was able to find the origins behind the sketch of her, and evidence of a clay bust being made. It was made in around 1969 by Barton Wright, if we didn't know that at this point. Am I misreading the details about a possible clay bust or am I right?

I don't believe so. Her death certificate just says "Unknown."

This is also what I'm hoping. The photos of the evidence look too high quality to be from the 60s. They may be from the 70s or so, which is after they lost the remains. I hope they're still packed away in an evidence locker.
I wouldn't use that as a metric - people really underestimate the quality of slide film. I do hope that they have evidence saved, though.
Sorry. Camera quality clearly isn't my strong-suit!
Did you hear anything back from NAMUS about that bust?
It was not. Though suffocation or stabbing would be my guess. Or maybe an overdose. If she had been strangled, beaten or shot they should have been able to tell.
Just got an email back:
"Homicide" was based on this quote from a sourced article on her Doe page "“But it was investigated as a homicide the whole time,” said Joe Sumner, volunteer investigator for the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office cold case unit." No manner of death has been released to my knowledge.
JMO But I would personally be beyond shocked if Little Miss X was Evelyn. I am certain that Evelyn died in Wisconsin that night inside that house. I think her remains were buried in the woods. MOO
In many cases they may have somewhat unexpected answers, none of us know what happened to Evelyn at that time so it is not unreasonable to think that she could have gotten to Arizona in different ways.
