I believe this skull belongs to Jared Negrete, the areas are so close and the skull was found three months after his disappearance

I would be interested to know if this Doe had his baby teeth or adult teeth. Given the projected age range, I would suspect the teeth they have would be baby teeth.

If they are baby teeth, it would be less likely to be Jared, despite the closeness to his Last Seen. A twelve year old would be unlikely to have five baby teeth, especially a central incisor. Usually, the ones kids lose first are the front teeth, the central incisors. And these are just the teeth we know about; the lower jaw was not found.

Of course, they could all be adult teeth, which begs the question why the Doe would be given an age range of 2 - 8.

SOLVED: After 32 years, Mentone John Doe is Identified
Click to expand...
Mentone John Doe has been identified as 4-year-old Derrick Burton. He was reported missing by his mother, Patricia Clark, to the San Bernardino Police Department in 1991. I wonder why Derrick wasn't in any missing persons databases and what were the circumstances of his disappearance from Menifee, California.
