Wow, so it seems this discovery was made upon a search for another missing:

“Multiple search teams were out for over 36 hours searching for 9-year-old Bryson Thibodeaux who went missing Friday. Bryson was located before dawn Sunday. His parents were then arrested on cruelty to juvenile charges. “

(Looking to see if there’s a thread for Bryson)

Found Safe - Bryson Thibodeaux, 9, autistic-like behaviour/runaway, Point Blue/Evangeline Parish 28 Dec 2018

They say “old” skull. I wonder if it is ancient. Watching this one. So glad the little one - Bryson - was found safe.

Link?

If nothing else is stated, (most of) these updates are from DDP's Facebook page. Smaller updates, like Evangeline County Jane Doe's, comes from their pinned post, which updates on a regular basis.

Sorry for not linking in post #2, but I thought it was well-known by now that these updates from DDP were from said sources.

Consider it done @Mrs. Badcrumble
But I also started updating the DDP thread list earlier today and I'm almost done with the list. I hope you haven't put too much work into it yet.

She is now "at lab for extraction." Per her Namus, she is believed to have died 2009-2017, up to 10 years per DDP. She is described by DDP as being of mixed black and French Cajun heritage. This may be a difficult case, as non-white DNA is underrepresented on GEDMatch, and my understanding is that Cajun ancestry has undergone some bottlenecks and familial marriages in the past, which can be difficult to parse out in terms of genetic genealogy. It does certainly sound like this was very much a local woman, or at least someone with roots in Louisiana. Here's some info about a genetic disorder that's being found in nearby Acadia Parish and the underlying genetics of the area.

During the search for her identity, area farmers who owned the land told investigators a guy who owned a farm nearby may have been involved with high risk females.

This seems to imply possible foul play on the part of this individual, or at least that they'd be open to dumping/burying a body of someone who died of overdose or other causes. It doesn't seem that her cause of death is known or at least hasn't been released to the public.
