Wow, here is a case that needs a bump for sure. This poor young woman was shot dead then left under a large piece of metal roofing. Someone went to some amount of trouble to conceal her yet she has remained unidentified for 31 years!

Re-bumping this one. Needs some serious attention. This was someone's daughter.

Boy, the reconstruction in NAMUS is quite different from the one on DOE NETWORK and certainly does not look like a white (or Caucasian) person to me.

Boy, the reconstruction in NAMUS is quite different from the one on DOE NETWORK and certainly does not look like a white (or Caucasian) person to me.

Recent testing has shown the woman is of Afro-Dominican descent and has distant genetic relatives in NYC. The new NamUs recon was only added in March of this year.
