I have to say these cases make me crazy.. Ok skull found in Garage??.. By who? Was the skull there for a long time? Does it have dental chart?..Was the house vacant? Who just happens to go out to their garage one day and happen to come across a skull on the shelf next to the oil can? ugh...ok just rambling....

Well, let's get the usual Websleuths theories out of the way right off: (everyone clutch their pearls) 1) the skull was escaping an abusive relationship, or 2) it was an Amish skull left the rest of its body for Rumspringa and never went back....

Seriously, it would be nice to know if this was a medical display, they are all cut a certain way so the top can be removed. Some people keep weird things. I knew someone who had a shrunken head in a jar, would never tell me if it was real. It sure looked it.

There are a lot of women missing from that area but Jeanette Gomez Espeleta was missing from Fullerton itself in 1998

Bumping case up.
Any ideas why they couldn't get some sort of PMI, why there is still no information about what they think the circumstances might be?

Bumping up for 2024. It's odd how many "skull found in random place with no explanation" cases there are.
