Im wondering if them working on that protocol was a result of an identification

I strongly believe shes been identified, and that LE wasn't ready for that info to be released, so they put her back in there.
From my understanding, Valerie and Karen were not removed from NamUs until after the announcement was made.

Bwtween law enforcement be working on protocol for this victims being in different counties, the fact that close family was identified a few years back, and now her namus going down. I think shes identified
 
How do you see the resolved cases on NamUs?
There is a counter on the main page of the NamUs DoJ webpage. Unfortunately, it only shows total numbers, not individual cases, but I keep a log of the totals and correlate it with the cases added/removed on namus.gov.
You can see the counter at the bottom of the page, here:

I was low key thinking the same. I think I read a post saying that her case was modified before being removed, which often happens before cases are archived. Maybe wishful thinking, but I was even thinking perhaps this thread would be pulled, as it happened to another thread recently. Fingers crossed!
 
Someone on another site noticed that a bunch of ny cases have been modified today

There have been batches of cases of UIDs from the same state updated in past past few weeks. It looks like today it was NY’s Nassau Cty and Suffolk Cty’s turn. It also looks like the updates came after Peach’s case was removed/reinstated, and out of all the updates, her case was the only one removed and counted as IDed. Sure, it was corrected afterwards, and we’ve seen cases reinstated before (albeit rarely), but I choose to cling to the hope that it wasn’t just a mistake.

Maybe someone is shaking in their boots now.

The recent changes look like good news to me. Praying for Peace for Peaches and her little girl ☘️
 
A small detail - her gold chains found with her don’t really look like gold to me - I guess it’s just gold colored?

Even if it’s been buried in dirt for 14 years, gold should handle that better.

These are two style bracelets that we used to sell at the Piercing Pagoda kiosk I worked at in 1992-1998. If identical, and they appear to be, they were made of 10k gold and were fairly popular items for us to sell. We would sometimes get returns of them similarly discolored if our customers tried to clean them with anything harsh like alcohol or peroxide so I'm not surprised that they sold also discolor in such a potentially wet and exposed environment. Jmo.

There's the salinity from the salt water, but there are also the fluids and residue from decomposition. I know gold has a reputation for not tarnishing, but I think anything would show discoloration under those circumstances. I doubt the jewellery was deep cleaned before photographing.

MOO

Makes sense that it’s 10K, that means that it’s full of alloys. Pure gold doesn’t stiffen like that, ever, from what I understand.
