Remains found in Big Spring

[Ransom]

From another recent case (I spend a lot of time in the Unidentfied forum with Kimster), a building had demolished in Hammond, IN. A neighborhood resident's dog walking around the site dug up a skeletonized hand wearing a ring. The first reports said it was a very small body, probably that of a young girl. The decedant was ultimately identified as a grown woman.

FWIW,this webpage cites research from the University of Tennessee's Body Farm. It states a body exposed to the elements will completely skeletonize within eight months. If buried, one to two years.

And Big Spring (W. Texas) is very, very dry (climate with little humidity). Lots of wind and sand blowing.

For information only about the dry climate/sand blowing:
recent dust storm in Lubbock, Tx. This about only about 100 miles from Big Spring.

I was looking back at pictures of Hailey and her hands.
She was only 13.
Bigger than mother but still small.
The Christmas picture by the fireplace shows her hands.
old article...for pic

Billie is a tiny woman. She's pretty close to child sized herself. I can see how a hand the size of Hailey's could be called a child's. I mean, her grown mom could buy her jeans in the kids department.

It does fit perfectly now.. as to why Shawn's cell pinged fro 930am to 230pm from momma.. (rough estimate of time not exact) ..just sayin'

 

[ozazure]

Agreed SmoothOperator - I hope if/when we do see Billie in the media and this is actually Hailey, we see more than her usual flat affect or anger.

Victor Sotelo said on the live report KTAB that Billies lawyer has been calling her but no reply from Billie. hhmmm :waitasec:

Oh boy. Makes me wonder about alot of things.

(snip)
In extremely dry or cold conditions, the normal process of decomposition is halted – by either lack of moisture or temperature controls on bacterial and enzymatic action – causing the body to be preserved as a [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mummy"]Mummy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]. Frozen mummies commonly restart the decomposition process when thawed (see [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96tzi_the_Iceman"]Ötzi the Iceman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]), whilst heat-desiccated mummies remain so unless exposed to moisture.

John Young (BD's Attorney, remember him?) was contacted. He said he sent Billie text messages, but she had not gotten back to him. Big surprise huh? I'd give anything to see the reaction's of SA & BD when this news broke.

 

[passionflower]

well SA is still a POI according to the TV news live

 

[ThoughtFox]

Oh, thank you.

In the video of the two tanks close to where the remains were found I could see a tree line behind them.

I dont know what mesguite trees are but these seemed pretty tall but not as tall as a oak or pecan tree.

imo

They look like trees to me. Could even be live oak trees, maybe?

Reading through all that happened today, I can tell you this: This is the type of stuff that will keep me awake all night. It's going to be a very long night.

Mesquite trees. Great for BBQ.

If my child or loved one was missing and body of a deceased person was found.....I would be calling the LE myself.........I would probably go to that city to find out asap.
I could never sit by the phone, Just me.........

I'd be climbing that fence you see in that picture above.

Is there a good deal of stormwater runoff in this area?

You won't be alone! I won't relax until I know one way or the other!
Sadly I think it's Hailey as well.
