The estimated PMI is 1 year but I guess it could be less. I see a resemblance between Ms. Vazquez and the UIP, especially the nose, lips and nasolabial folds.

You never know what you are going to find in Florida canals. However, what 14-year-old Ryland Sands found on May 8 would chill anyone to the bone.

Out of respect for whoever it is, R's* family did not want to share pictures, but they did say it looked small.

"It had teeth and the upper part of the mouth but no jaw," said R.*

Elizabeth Mae Canada? I know the PMI is a year but six months in Florida Heat could be reasonable.

I also see a resemblance between Ms. Canada and the UIP. I wonder if there is DNA available for any of them?

Here's a side by side comparison. Ms. Vazquez, UIP and Ms. Canada.

I found her FB. Lots of photos there and also on her relatives' profiles. I think you should submit Ms. Canada as a possible match.
