No, the facial construction (and possibly DNA) proves the ethnic origin.

Nevada County Sheriff's officials hope that a composite sketch will lead to the identity of partial skeletal remains found last year.

On Sunday, Sept. 3, 2006, remains of a body were discovered in a remote area of Nevada County, off of State Route 20, north of Nevada City. It is estimated the remains had been in the remote area for at least six months.

Officials believe the victim is a female of Asian descent and was about 30 years old at the time of death.

The recovered bones were scattered over a distance of several hundred feet, officials said.

The age is a bit off, but this Asian-American lady missing from Alabama fits the time period:

And there is Cindy, again the age is a little off:

"On Halloween of 2001, Penn State University senior Cindy Song went to a party at Player’s Nite Club, a popular student hangout, with two girlfriends, Stacy Paik and Lisa Kim. Song dressed as a bunny rabbit for the occasion. The girls partied until 2:00 a.m. and later stopped by a friend’s apartment. About 4:00 a.m. on Thursday, November 1st 2001, Stacy Paik dropped off Cindy at her apartment and drove away. Nobody has seen Cindy Song since."

The distance is pretty lengthy on both of those. This body was found off a fairly remote highway in California. Not that it couldn't happen....

A forensic artist has created a clay reconstruction using the skull of a woman hikers found last September in the forest north of Nevada City.

This is the latest step in determining the dead woman's identity with the help of Natalie Sweet, a Silicon Valley police officer and composite artist who also used the skull to create a sketch of the woman's face last month.

Investigators will distribute pictures of the sculpture to regional and nationwide law enforcement agencies, Nevada County Sheriff's Lt. Bill Evans said.

Investigators estimated the remains had been there for at least six months when they were found off Highway 20.

She left work and went to her ex-boyfriend's house to begin studying for the last final exams.

A sketch of a possible suspect is shown below.

I doubt that Princess Blue is my sister, Elizabeth. One reason is the class ring is from a Houston high school, and Elizabeth didn't graduate from there but from Central Texas area (about 250 -300 Miles’ due North-West from Houston, Texas). Elizabeth, two other siblings, and I had graduated in the same high school. Elizabeth graduated in 1985 and not 1975. My family and I appreciate you trying to find the identity and thinking Princess Blue maybe Elizabeth. Unfortunately, Princess Blue’s identity will still be unknown. I hope one day Princess Blue’s identity will be known and returned to her family. A closure will finally be given to a family and Princess Blue will be put in a better resting place. Thank you for trying to find Elizabeth and Princess Blue’s name.

I doubt that Princess Blue is my sister, Elizabeth.

MoonBug, first, welcome to WS! I am sorry that it is under these circumstances.

I do not believe the above posts are comparing Elizabeth to Princess Blue (Princess Blue just happens to be in that particular posters signature), I think they are comparing Elizabeth to this unidentified at the following link http://www.theunion.com/article/20070602/NEWS/106020171

Yes? Please correct/forgive me if I am not understanding.

Could it be Elizabeth Ann Campbell?

Sable, wouldn't they have gotten a hit on the dentals, or no? It shows Elizabeth having dentals, HOWEVER, I dont' recall but if the link is from DOE it could be wrong. I have had more than a few say 'dentals' when in fact there was none.

From Article:
Detectives also compared the skull's dental chart with information in a Department of Justice missing persons database, and they could not find a match.

I wonder if Elizabeth's Dentals are in the DOJ DB?

 

[MoonBug]

Elizabeth's dental and a DNA from our mother for comparison are on filed in the Texas Missing Persons Clearinghouse in Austin, Texas. In Austin, Texas, the investigator in charged of Elizabeth’s case would have done an immediately comparison to see if Princess Blue is Elizabeth or not. Back in September 1990, my parents and the Copperas Cove, Texas (the city where she disappeared from), investigator handling my sister’s case did get a call from the investigator in Austin, Texas, saying it wasn’t Elizabeth.

MoonBug, Again, this thread is NOT comparing Elizabeth with Princess Blue, it is comparing Elizabeth with unidentified remains found, you can see the article here http://www.theunion.com/article/20070602/NEWS/106020171


Now, if Elizabeths Dentals are on file at the Dept of Justice then this comparison should have been already made, however, never hurts to be sure they were compared.

 

[MoonBug]

True. It never hurts to be sure they were compared. I'm going emailing the investigator in charge of the case to confirm if a comparison was done. I may post what he said upon here.

 

[christine2448]

MoonBug has started a thread for Elizabeth here on WS http://www.websleuths.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50694

I have cross posted the relating article as a possible match.

 

[LionRun]

Here is a good, very basic, link for anthropology. It gives some facts on how to tell age at time of death, time of death, sex, and other things.

I understand that authorities stated that they believe the body had been out there for at least 6 months, but I would not consider that accurate. A skilled forensic team would be needed to give a more accurate TOD. For example, her skull still had hair and cervical vertebrae attached. That would put the TOD no more than about 4 months prior to discovery for a body left out in the open. By 4 months all bones are disarticulated(no longer connected), and all hair has fallen out and blown away. It is true that hair takes a long time to decompose, so a body in a container will still have hair(fallen out) in with it for a long time. But, left out in the open the hair would fall out and then blow away quickly.

Quite a bit of stuff in the Porchlight archives: http://z10.invisionfree.com/usedtobedoe/index.php?showtopic=10864

Apparently there's an Asian population in Nevada County, descended from the railroad construction workers and mining laborers who moved there in the mid-1800's, but the remains don't match anybody missing from that area.

How about Namus MP #10090

Name: Noppajan Lo

She went missing on October 12th, 2004. I don't think that it's a 'smoking gun' kind of lead, but the face does match the composite sketch closely in my opinion. Accordingly, hair and race match and so does the age (low end of the range).

Lo is missing from California, but a different part. Also, she is missing with her son while our Doe was only found by herself. Furthermore, there's a focus on the Doe only been dead for a year, but those things aren't exact. Maybe time to open minds a little?
