GUILTY DE - Smyrna, Wht/HispFemale, 2-5, 'Baby Elle', ball field, 13 Sept 2019 - Emma Cole *arrests*

Many if not most labs in the country have been either closed due to the virus, or have changed their focus to do virus-related testing, so even if they're pursuing that route, they might not have made much progress.

A charred or burned body may not have enough DNA or enough quality DNA to test. If there’s very little DNA, any testing may use up the sample, making it a one shot try. I’m hoping the remains were not charred completely. This little princess deserves someone who loves her to take her home and lay her to rest.

I hope that since they were able to create a drawing of her appearance, and since they believe she has a medical condition, there is enough evidence / DNA available.

New DNA testing techniques can extract DNA from even very tiny, very degraded samples. A very old unidentified case was recently solved by DNA extracted from a few strands of hair.

This is local to me and you hear nothing about this case around here anymore.

If you do see or hear something (an anniversary article in the newspaper, or a new billboard, or anything at all) please let us know here. I'd hope the community would do something for the anniversary of her being found, if it weren't for Covid-19.

She looks a lot like Nikhita Jagtiani to me....

You're right, she does. But Nikhita was 4 when she disappeared in 2013, so would have been 10 last year when the remains were discovered. I think that's probably too much age difference to be a possibility.

Welcome to Ws cmckay!
Wondering if the little uid girl might actually be East Indian/Pakistani?

I heard about this case when it first happened, I suppose now it's gone cold. If there's even the slightest amount of DNA left, testing could be an option. With little to no evidence found there's not much else that can be done.

LE could reach out to the media once a year, keep trying to get the case info out and get that needed tip.

Especially if they think she was local to Delaware...

She has to be from somewhere close by I don't know anything about Delaware but I wonder if there are any Hispanic /Latino communities near that park. Judging from the pictures she appears to be more Hispanic/Latino than white it is so heartbreaking that someone is not missing this little girl. I would think that friends, neighbors, grandparents, someone would notice a child suddenly missing from their life.

I think I remember someone earlier in the thread said they lived in the area. If they’re still here, maybe they could give some insights on the racial demographics in Smyrna?

 

[ballads1]

Gosh, I just realized it’s been almost exactly one year since our baby doe was found. I hope some
new leads develop soon, we haven’t had any in a while This case truly breaks my heart when I think about it. May she rest in peace

 

[Grungster]

So how did she die?!

Nikhita on the far right. Some resemblance to the middle rendering. Nakhita is suspected to be in India tho. Plus I think the timing is too far apart.

So how did she die?!

I don’t think an official cause of death was determined/released, since the remains were pretty old, but it seems like a homicide to me.

However, she was also said to have probably had least one chronic illness, so she may have passed away from that.

This doesn't say which percentage of the population identify as Hispanic or Latino, though.
