Hmmm...11.7 miles west of Krome Avenue. Could she be Miccosukee?
Pretty small population so you'd think someone would have recognized her if that were the case, no?

Good thinking! Their population was only 400 in 1990, according to Google, but anything's possible. I guess I can reach out to the emails listed for the Miccosukee tribe on the BIA website. It's a worth a shot.

This seems like one of those cases that doesn't get much attention and will be nearly impossible to solve so any effort that is made is positive! Let us know if you find anything.
You would hope that the original detectives would have reached out to the tribe back in 1990 but who knows?
