On Sunday afternoon, March 18, while exploring the countryside surrounding their home, three young boys located a human skull.

The skull was found in the Hastings Oil Field off Hwy. 35. It is unsure if it is that of a male or a female, yet associated clothing might have belonged to a cross dresser, law enforcement officers believe.

“At this point, the Medical Examiner believes it is the skull of a 30 to 40 year old male. Originally, I felt it was the skull of a female, perhaps even a child,” said Brazoria County Sheriff’s Lieutenant Russ Baker.

While investigating the case the next day, two bodies were located in a woody area ....

Bodies? Or skeletal remains? And did these bodies include heads? Confusing.

Wow! I hate it when children find remains. I wonder if it haunts them for a long time?

Bodies? Or skeletal remains? And did these bodies include heads? Confusing.

Later in the article they talk about finding two jawbones. So I am going to conjecture that it is skeletal remains they found.

They are saying the clothing appears to be vintage 1980's, but could have come from a thrift shop. They found stirrup pants.

What I don't understand is that the sheriff claims that he couldn't tell if it was a man woman or child. But he believes it is cross dresser? What would lead him to that? And wouldn't you be able to tell if a skull belonged to a child or an adult? Methinks they know more about this than they are letting on.

Maybe a heavily padded bra or falsies?

Maybe a heavily padded bra or falsies?

Or just the fact that it is a skeleton with clearly male characteristics dressed in flashy women's clothing.

Harold Lawson was a cross dresser and went missing in 1983 from California. http://doenetwork.org/cases/912dmca.html

I feel bad for those poor kids finding that. Hope they will be able to identify the remains soon.

We have so many girls missing from this area. I hope these remains can be identified quickly so these families can have some closure. One girl I always think about is Jessica Cain.

Naum Mendez is/was a cross dresser missing from Florida. LKA 2008.

He doesn't strike me as the type to wear stirrups though.

And Brian Hatfield, missing since 2004.

Honestly, if the police say that the skeleton was initially thought to be a female child and is now thought to be an adult male, they either have this all but wrapped up - or they're making it up as they go along with little basis to do so.

I'm leaning towards the latter, unfortunately.

Wow .. they couldn't make up their mind for nothing. It's a male .. no, it's a female. No DNA match .. yes, a DNA match. Sheesh.

And what about the second set of remains?
