It's worth reminding us since the question seems to keep coming up

I think she could be Shelley Luty. The picture looks just like her.

Could she be Frieda "Becky" Powell?
Becky was Ottis Toole's niece. Henry Lee Lucas became involved with her when she was about 12, in 1979. HLL claimed he stabbed her while drunk in 1982 in Texas. No human remains were found that were confirmed to be hers. I couldn't find any missing persons reports for Becky, no NamUs profile, just a few blog posts and Find A Grave page. In the few photographs I saw of her, I think she resembles the recon fairly well.
No height, weight, eye color for Becky. She would be 15 in 1982, when she was last heard from and supposedly died. Here's a side by side:

Becky was played by actress Tracy Arnold in the movie Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. It's very graphic and, as a result, was Rated X when it was released in 1986-an excellent film, none-the-less.
Is the height correct in NamUs? It states 54 inches, which is short to the point of dwarfism. I can understand a few inches off, but that could still make this a little person.
Agreed!Some of them certainly do get entered that way. It's very annoying. :banghead:
