I see that Carl got here before me - I decided to do a recon from the side POV photos.

The photos on that flyer weren't of the best quality for a reconstruction, but I had to make-due with what was available. I had to make some severe adjustments to the tilt of her head, and I was able set the placement of her features by lining them up with the side-view photos. Here is what I came up with.

Wow that was fast Carl. Great reconstruction despite having to rely on low quality photos.

Much better, great, thank you so much!

She has a very distinctive face, very soft, rounded, a bit "doll like" features. I hope DNA can be found and worked. She needs her name back.
I am still quite sure her transverse abdominal scar is a csection. One single section normally leaves just mild pelvic adhesions that are centered around the uterus and those can be easily missed with decomposition. The lower abdomen is the first body part for decomp to start since it starts from the bowel bacteria. It consumes small structures very quickly after death.

There is a whole community on Reddit called r/AutopsyTechFam

They might be able to help. I go there sometimes for questions on Does.

You are the GOAT! Thank you for this info!!

Good point. I don’t know much about decomp, and everything I know about c-sections was from my own. I had a TON of adhesions, so I assumed that would be the same for others but I guess maybe not! She was found in December, and it had snowed, so that would slow decomp (I think) but it still could be enough to deteriorate before being examined.

Every surgery leaves adhesions but theyre relatively mild after csection compared to other abdominal surgeries. And decomp in December happens slower but comes from the inside core body temperature first.
Another option would be a cosmetic surgery scar to reduce excess skin after weight loss.
