Ignore the posters on Wiki.

Has any one called LE recently or will call to see if they are going to exhume her to get DNA?

I am working on trying to get her exhumed

Just thinking of LMN. A Child Known To God.

When you consider how isolated the place when she was found is, you have to believe that someone went out of their way, in more ways than one, to try and ensure her body would never be found.

 

[Ms Suzanne]

Bumped up for her. Is there anything new on her case?

 

[Roselvr]

Unfortunately, no

So frustrating to know we don't have any DNA or anything for this little girl.

Little Miss Nobody was a Somebody. I'm also mightily pissed off at people elsewhere online that claim we shouldn't call her Little Miss as there is an infinitesimal small chance she might not have seen herself as a girl.

(sarcastic) Yeah, lots of little boys have colored hair and painted fingernails and toenails (sarcastic)

I know, right?! A young girl died, that is what matters. Leave this **** elsewhere. Might aswell start calling everyone and anyone ' it' because who knows!

Most people have lost their first baby tooth by age 7, and girls lose their baby teeth earlier than boys. I'm a female, and I remember losing my first tooth aged 6, and I was the last of all my friends, male or female. From this, I think it's very unlikely that this Doe was 8 years old.

I agree with the above comments about gender identity; it is not appropriate to be inserting gender politics into the murder of a child. Especially not as there is no doubt about her sex, and the fact that she was presenting as female, therefore gender politics is irrelevant to giving her her name back.

It's just mildly upsetting that the whinge brigade doesn't want us to call a little girl, a little girl.

Are the Wikipedia lot still going on about that!?

I was born in 1950. I had older sisters who were allowed to wear lipstick and nail polish and remember wishing I were older so I could too! IMO, it would have been very unusual for a small child to have dyed hair and nail polish on nails. Neither of my two daughters ever even expressed a wish for that sort of thing when they were the age this child was.

I have been around horses and rodeos all my life and never saw the smaller children with dyed hair or painted nails. I rode in my first 'Grand Entry' at 7 years old. Little girls beauty pageants were not prevalent back then either.

I'm afraid this child's hair and nails were done for nefarious reasons. She deserves her name back. I wish she could be exhumed for DNA also. DNA testing not being available back then, why not use every means available now to identify this precious child?

MOO

If a UID is publicly known by a specific name, we go by that name. I'm not happy with "Devil Dog Doe" or "Septic Tank Sam", but those are the names that they are known by, so that's what we use.

Carl's explanation of why it's important not to change their names.

 

[paul1980]

Yeah. I'm sorry. It's just a little disquieting in comparison to modern times. For example, Riley Ann Sawyers got Baby Grace. The past is truly a different country.

 

[Ms Suzanne]

Has anyone found out if they are going to get DNA from her? Why aren't they doing this for her?

 

[paul1980]

probably because they see little merit in a 55 year old UID case compared to modern day cases.

 

[paul1980]

Bumping for LMN. Any news?

 

[Ms Suzanne]

I hope they find out who she is soon.This is beyond sad.They need to get her DNA on her.
