I wonder if the high heel description might be platform-type (think disco) shoes?

This case is not on the Trans Doe Task Force website, as far as I can see. https://transdoetaskforce.org/case-map/

Has anyone submitted it to them? An person who is assigned male but wearing high heeled shoes is the kind of case they're interested in.

Interesting. I wonder if they had enough soft tissue to determine he actually had tattoos, but not enough smooth skin to determine the design.

Estimated Date of Death: Months prior

Tattoos: Indiscernible
