I could be hallucinating but it looks like 303 on the arm which is a typical denver area code..

 

[Laughing]

That's a lot of ink!?!?!

Bugas is a surname often linked to Davis from Colorado and New Mexico...I'm not really sure where to go from here though. I would say the arm looks like Garcia down the side. Could be totally off.

Amateur tatts, some look like prison done.

Speculation and opinion only

I thought “bugas” means “straight”

Is it possible they just did not update/taken down her NamUs? Or what are the chances they found in the same city, the same spot - street, on the same day 2 different burried unidentifed females?

Helping me with my Spanish vocabulary tonight @rosesfromangels!

eta: I think you're right @Al Ka - looks like she was ID'd. If you Google her name there are lots of news articles about the ID.

Police ID woman found buried in Roswell

A woman who police believe was murdered and buried outside a Roswell home was identified Monday by police.

Ambra Lynn Taylor was identified by detectives with the Roswell Police Department from several tattoos and testimony from multiple sources.

Taylor was 41 when she disappeared in Roswell in 2016, police said.

She was found buried on May 9 in a vacant house in the 600 block of Greenbrier Drive.

Police said Taylor had traveled to Roswell from Albuquerque, and had only been in the city for a “short time” before she was allegedly killed.

Oh crap. I didn't think I may actually be right...

It's interesting that her NamUs is still up, even if it does list Ambra Taylor as a possible name. They seem to be pretty good at taking down pages as soon as people are identified, even if there isn't any news coverage on the ID and/or the identity is withheld. So it's definitely unusual that her page is still up over two years after she was "identified."

Is is her. Bugas was what she called her son. Did alot of time in prision with her.I knew her personally. I recognizes her tattoos. Lost touch with her over the years but she went by the name Guerra. Tattoo of the tiger represents herself because she had blue eyes. Garcia was her last name. She got caught with car full of dope near Farmington which she did a 20 year life sentence.

@Goret, sorry for your loss! Whether friend or acquaintance, these things are a shock.

RIP, Ms. Taylor, peace & comfort to all who miss you!
