I was unable to find a thread for this little girl, so I made one. This is my first post on this site, so apologies if I messed something up.

That poor baby. How will this case ever be solved? The only thing I can imagine is a friend/ relative of the perp coming forward, possibly. She was most likely killed by her own caretakers (MOO). Even then, with no DNA, can she be identified? This just breaks my heart.

Scars & broken bones from abuse BEFORE HER 1ST BIRTHDAY?!?!?! What the hell is wrong with people?

in absence of DNA i dont see how either :*(

Oh that poor Angel. If they have any of her personal effects they may be able to extract DNA from those.

Moving baby girl's case back up. What a poor decision not to save her DNA. JMO.

 

[Susikatze]

Cremated. What a shame. No way to get DNA from cremains

 

[Beccalicious]

Bumping. So sad...

Tagging @othram because if anyone can help get this sweet baby some justice & her name back - it's them! Hanging on to the little bit of hope that something can be done for her.

We will inquire to see if we can assist.

I'm going to remain hopeful there is Something with which to identify her. Namus doesn't typically provide DNA, Dental, or Print info to the general public and I don't rely on that info from other agencies - for her, her case file was last updated on DoeNet in 2018. I would think NCMEC doing a reconstruction of her and posting her case would mean there is something they can use. Perhaps maybe a footprint to compare against a birth record at a hospital, saved teeth, blood or other evidence.

This case makes me sad and angry..all at the same time!
A big hug little one!

 

[Megsc]

How could you hurt so much a baby ???? She was so young..

 

[Dogwithabone]

Bumping! Hopefully, this is one of the cases included in Othram's 525 Project
