I'm also not sure why La-Teasha LaMone Brooks was in court in 2002 but what if the events there caused her to walk away and try to start afresh. She was tiny (4'9") and so caught my eye as a potential match for a Louisiana UID found years later. I wish I know if La-Teasha had connections to the area, if it could possible be her?

My head tells me it's so far down the track it's very unlikely, but then I come back to her leaving court. We know very little about her emotions or motivations that day. Thoughts on a match to www.websleuths.com/forums/threads/la-bossier-city-blkfem-up9319-25-40-in-wooded-area-jun11.142834/

It's hard for me to compare LT's photos to the recons due to the angles. Seems the UID had a long distance between the nose and upper lip. LT had some identifiers such as pierced ears, a scar, a tatt. If the PMI was towards the upper end (8 months) unlikely these would be visible, except if earrings themselves were located.

Maybe Latesha ran into someone she knew while at her appointment, and agreed to meet up with them outside, or, was frightened by this (hypothetical) person and took off? speculation.
