Thank you for sending Angie home to her family. She looks so different from what I imagined. What a beautiful girl!

Congratulations on a job well done for you and your team!

 

[HmmMysterious]

Just read her DoeNetwork page and it seems like the isotope analysis was off again. It excluded states from the southeast including Georgia and instead predicted that Angie came from the New England, Mid-Atlantic, or states west of the Mississippi River.

RIP Angie

Lovely! I am glad the Allison Milles lead was a red herring, maybe Angie got the pants handed down or thrifted or from charity shops.
I wonder who or what killed her - it does not look like she was hit by a car or ejected from a car in a MVA (besides MVA would have left evidence).
Falling from a truck, that is possible. But why? Did she travel as stowaway somewhere?

Rest in peace, Mary

It states she fell off a tanker truck. Why did she climb on it first place? Very strange.
So happy she got her name back

 

[chaddylex]

Another one of my "pet cold cases" solved from @othram. I am so glad she has her name back after all of these years.
RIP Mary.
