Excellent work. We need better systems to match records and vet potential relationships.

I'm just a glorified Googler.

@victoriarobinson642 started the thread and suggested Daisy as a match before I even knew websleuths existed. I very much still have my training wheels and L plate on here. I'm just in awe of everyone.

2022 was an amazing year for identifications through genealogy, but I have a feeling 2023 is gonna be C R A Z Y

Happy New Year, btw!

I would like to make a suggestion of a case that I would really like to see resolved:

The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

Have you seen this child?

461UMVA

It is important to mention that Othram has previously worked on Fairfax County cases (Sharon Abbott Lane and Joyce Meyer)

Four pounds? Gosh, she was tiny.

Sending all that New Year energy to the folks at Othram to ID this beautiful little girl. She'd be my age if she'd got to live her life. She's waited long enough.

Thank you @dotr ! I didn't want to create one just in case my Google skills were just temporarily broken and there actually was one already. (It *is* past 4am here. )

Slight date discrepancy with the Middlesex Doe, but only March rather than April, so it's close, and the case is definitely the right one - found in water, Old Saybrook, etc. EDIT: Date is fine, I was looking at a clipped artcle dated April 10th rather than the case specs, ignore me. It's 3am. March, March 31st. As you were.

Folks, stay tuned for an update on Opelika Jane Doe... Thursday, January 19 at 10am central time. We will also post about here on Websleuths.

The details of this case are just sickening. Apparently, the girl's birth mother had relinquished custody to her father, who moved to Florida with a new wife. They never reported her missing so they could collect child care benefits from the birth mother for a decade.

Thank you for your work on this one, @othram . This little girl just hurt my heart when I first read about her. Like Joseph Zarelli, her life was just so, so hard and unbelievably sad. Because of your work and the work of all the folks who cared about her, her mother knows what happened, and can grieve her. Her killers are going to face justice. That doesn't bring her back, but it's so, so important.
