I am really daring to hope with this one.

Looks like DNA is in the works, sample submitted - tests not complete.
I did notice the difference in height on namus it says 65" but the missing person FB page lists her as 5'0" five inches is a pretty big difference when it comes to height, but I'm guessing she is probably closer to the shorter end. Her eyes are close-set, but that is really the only resemblance I see. However, the timeline really makes me think this could be her. She went missing late July 2012, didn't make it to namus until May 22, 2014, and it looks like the missing person FB page wasn't created until February 2013. I find it very odd that it had taken so long to get this girls information out there.
I got an email from houstonmom telling me to check out smurfettes thread, I woke up to my children watching The Smurfs cartoon this morning. Something just feels right about this PM. I think the weirdest part for me is that IF this is Odalis, she was found on my brothers birthday(10/16), and shares a birthday with myself(9/19)
Oh wow. I think this is the best potential match we've had since Emely Gamez-Lopez.
I know I haven't posted here in a while, but Smurfette's thread is always the first link I check whenever I log on and I still search the databases for her. I still care about her very much.
I'm confused as to how we missed Odalis. You guys have found missing persons reports that were pretty obscure; I can't see you missing one as promising as this. I wonder if Odalis was just recently reported missing?
If one of my kids went missing/ran away, I would move heaven and earth to find them from day one.
I would also be very interested indeed if a body was found in the area that potentially fitted the description of my child...
I wonder why that didn't happen in Odalis' case??
After looking at the Facebook page, it sounds like her mother doesn't really know where to look or how to get help.
Maybe Odalis is that potential lead Dr. D mentioned. The only things that make me unsure about Odalis being a possible match for Smurfette is her nose and that she doesn't appear to be part black. The height on NamUs for Odalis doesn't really bug me. 5' 5" is only an inch above the average height for women and Odalis happens to be pretty skinny weight wise. I really hope Odalis being Smurfette isn't too good to be true.
IMO if the nose in the second approximation is as accurate as Dr. D says it is, then I don't think Odalis is a match. Also, I do see the eye thing; however Odalis eyes IMO appear to be larger and slanted upwards while smurfettes look as though they slant downward. Although we can't really rely on eye shape due to the condition of the remains.

That odd sideways lighting (setting sun, it looks like) is casting some very strange shadows on her face. It makes the nose and chin both look wider than I think they might really be.
So Should I send it in? or did some one send it in for me?
I don't know how to go about this, since I'm from Canada I don't think they'll take my report seriously (arm chair sleuth).
I sent this information over to Dr. D this afternoon, she may be able to speed up the DNA process or at least directly compare Odalis' DNA to Smurfettes. Probably wont get a response until Tuesday as we have the three day weekend.
