Earrings
it makes sense that they would already be working on getting ancestral/dna info for baby doe. She would be able to show ties to her father's family and peaches family. I've also wondered about baby doe's race. The earrings she wore are the same as a pair I have that were purchased in Chile in the early 80s. I wore them as a kid. I've never seen them sold in the United States. See the above earrings link for my pair.

Yes, not wanting to attract the attention of the authorities. A lot of people have commented on the jewellery and the pierced ears of the toddler as something more common in migrant communities. So it could be that. Or perhaps even a lack of English or reading skills and lack of access to technology. Or the family may have returned to the country which was previously their home. I’m guessing there are probably more barriers for migrants in these cases.
The only other thing I and some other people have brought up is the possibility that Peaches was not a prostitute and was perhaps in a relationship with her killer. Her toddler body being found too is unusual. I’m aware of some cases where the SK begins by killing a family member or friend out of necessity or impulse, but that gives them a taste for it and they move on to finding unconnected people to kill. Fred and Rose West being a case in point, the first 3 victims in that case were a pregnant girlfriend of Fred’s his first wife and his stepdaughter.
It occurred to me that if Peaches was in a relationship with her killer, her family could be too afraid to point the finger, especially if they live poor insecure lives or are illegal migrants. Or he may have paid them off.
I really just get the feeling that tracing Peaches is and her daughter is the key to this.
