Hi guys! I'm new to this thread. I've always been interested in investigating and this case is especially close to my heart because I look a lot like BG. The artist reconstruction of her face is literally me.
From the morgue photos I concluded that I have a very similar skin type (the texture and the type of freckles) and the same type of hair also. So let me share with you some of my thoughts, hope they are worthy.
Some of you have pointed out that her braids are very flawless. So I experimented a little with my own hair and found that it is possible that her braids stayed this neat if she was standing or lying down unconsciously. She was disposed of faced down so it did not affect her hair. So I think if there was struggle she wasn't lying down when it happened. I think it's also highly unlikely that the jacket was put on her post-mortem. You can't do that withouth fuzzing her hair.
Next thing I noticed is her skin. I know she looks young but look at her neck and shoulder on the side photo. I would be more certain if I could see her hands but I'm rather convinced that she was older than me and i am 21. Even if the texture is caused by sun damage.
I was thinking about the domestic violence thing. MelmothTheLost said: "Her grooming and hygiene suggest a secure, maybe middle class, background which is in keeping with the jacket."
I agree, and I think she did have a family. "Certainly a possibility, and if so the simple passage of time may bring someone forward once a specific individual or individuals have died."(MelmothTheLost)
I'm thinking... could it be that a sibling has killed her and family is covering up because they don't want to lose two children at once? Is it possible that she was the youngest child, the apple of her parents' eye (expensive clothes, well cared for) or the prettiest, brightest child (or whatever reason for which siblings hate each other). If it was a boyfriend then her family would have tried to search for her. Couldn't be mother or father because one of them is probably dead already and someone would have come forward. A sibling could well be alive still.
I imgaine them working when an argument started and he/she struck BG in the head with whatever tool was in their hands. She fought back and it got out of control. Maybe they didn't mean to kill her but she died. Maybe there were only two kids and the family decided not to have one dead and the other sentenced to life in prison. Or the sibling lied that she ran away. Adding that she was possibly from Texas maybe none of the people who knew her heard of the unidentified body.
What do you guys think? Is it a possibility?
