Based on that second pic, she really does look like the 2002 reconstructions and the one Carl Koppelman made a few years back.These are the pics. They're super blurry unfortunately, and you can't see many of her features.
It still amazes me how Wrong the isotopic testing got it. It said she was from central or eastern europe and migrated to the southern United States 5-10 years ago. I was expecting a slavic name like Olga or Nastya. Maybe it was her ancestry that's traced back to that part of Europe.
With the advent of forensic genealogy, which can tell us who a specific person is with certainty, there is zero need for a “science” that tells us a geographic region that the person MIGHT come from. Don’t be a bit surprised if it turns out that the Lake Panasoffkee doe isn’t from Greece at all.
Isotope analysis is a garbage pseudoscience that needs to go away permanently when it comes to identifying UID’s.

It's based on probabilities, isn't it? Seems to me that the results were likely that there was a say, 95% chance based on the data, so presumably the 5% it was incorrect turned out to be the case. (these are numbers made up for example's sake)I seriously want to know how they presumably messed it up so fully. Was she eating food and drinking prepackaged drinks from that region? It doesn't appear her family was military and/or had spent any time there.
I have the same questions but I also try to remind myself that we're not the ones to judge. Also, the only answer that comes to my mind is, sadly, this one: different times. Still, even for 1976 doesn't seem right that a 15 year old girl should be pregnant and living with her 18 or 19 year old boyfriend but... yeah. Different times. Still happens these days. I knew a girl who lived with her grandma, got pregnant at 15 (it was around 2012) and the grandma got so angry that she kicked her out of the house, so she had no choice, she had to go live with the baby's father (who was in his mid twenties I think). Evelyn at least seemed to have some support from her family, so maybe they just accepted the situation. Luis was said to be very controlling of Evelyn, maybe he made some threats to her and her family?Hard to make sense of their situation after all these years, but judging the family is not the way to go. They probably did what they thought was right at the time or what they felt like they had to do.Why is a 15yo girl full-term pregnant and living with a man? Isn’t she supposed to be at home doing her school homework? Man, I try to refrain from critique but the family portrays the situation as though the constellation was completely normal.
Cultural differences too, perhaps? Also, if Evelyn was about to become a mom, maybe she was planning to take time off from school. Luis was working, and an adult, so they may have planned to marry.
I grew up in rural New England, and we even had a few very young pregnant girls (12, 13, 14), AND we had some situations where *very* young couples (like Evelyn) who were not pregnant lived together. (Late 70s/early mid 80s) Now of course, this would be looked at differently, but back then it was more...accepted?
I have a friend who moved in with her boyfriend at 14, they got married a few years later, and they're still together today. She's 50. They're very happy, their kids have graduated college, etc. As a parent myself, I look at this and think OH HELL NO, but I know things were a bit different a few decades ago.....
Don't forget LE refusing to take a mp report in the first place; taking the mp report, but not investigate the matter further; so-called "low priority" cases where the mp is considered a runaway, sex worker, etc., or just simply purging the cases when the mp aged out, the case closed, so on, so on..By now it's pretty obvious most UIDs are people whose cases haven't been enetered into NamUs and such or people who haven't been reported at all for whatever reason.

Exactly what I’m thinking!I know this just makes me think of how many others have isotopes that are wrong.. Little Miss Panasoffkee just keeps coming to mind... was she really from Greece or like you said was it just part of her ancestry..
Wow good point!If someone drinks nothing but Fiji Water, would isotopes indicate that the individual came from Fiji? If someone drank nothing but Foster’s Beer, would isotopes say that individual came from Australia?
That’s one of the many problems with isotope analysis; having readings based on the makeup of tap water from a certain region...what if they never drank tap water???
