The only response I've received was asking that I not contact their listed case manager on NamUs, rather to Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's ID Unit. That request came from the ID Unit, and I've received nothing since.

@ProductiveOne Did you have any voice communication with the school???
Just wondering what they would even say to you!!!

Another rather strange thing to me..... I really had no idea where Compton is, exactly.
So Google Maps showed me just how tightly congested it is!! Seems hard to believe this body went undetected for soooo long.

No, I didn't. I CC'd the school principle. I imagine the principle, and ID Unit are communicating. I did send a follow-up email to the ID Unit yesterday, and if I hear anything, I'll let you all know.

I wish I knew someone at the school. I'm really curious what they could find.

I know everyone is thinking of the mask for covid times. When I first saw the photo, I actually thought some chemistry lab work with those big glasses and the heavy mask....

Great suggestion!

It still looks to me like a covid-style mask to be honest, but your alternative is definitely a sound possibility that shouldn't be ruled out either.

I got a response back: "We will review the submitted information. Please note, the results of comparisons may or may not be made available to the public for investigatory reasons."

Thought I would pop in and see if any updates. Do we know if those 2 pics were circulated to the Compton area..newspaper or local news ?

Kind of surprising nothing has developed yet. Maybe those photos haven't really been too widely distributed in the community.

I’ve found that UID cases rarely get any kind of mainstream media attention.

I’ve found that UID cases rarely get any kind of mainstream media attention.

And yet, I just find them totally engrossing. With the identification of that middle school.... I just KNOW that someone could recognize if the pictures were put out there .
