GUILTY IN - Salem, Washington Co, BlkMale 5-8, PMI approx 1 week, wooded area near roadway, Apr'22 - Cairo Ammar Jordan *1 guilty* *Mother arrested 2024*

[Bit of hope]

If LE made sure this isn't a missing child in the systems, wouldn't that make it more urgent to get the word out/publish the reconstruction instead of not doing that, because they will need the memory of the public now more than ever? Still not getting how publication would harm the investigation. It's at least remarkable how this case is handled.

 

[Nell91]

Bump. We're all trying our best for you, little one.

 

[ChatteringBirds]

I think we should trust LE. If they have a reconstruction and aren't releasing it, that's unusual in my opinion. I feel they must have a reason. I hope this little guy is identified soon and LE can swoop in and arrest the right person(s).

 

[Springrain]

I just can't fathom a reason to not release a reconstruction?

 

[carbuff]

The only thing I can think of is that they think maybe he had changed so much between when other people had seen him that he wouldn't be recognizable from the current reconstruction. But I'm not sure why or how that would happen.

Perhaps LE chose not to disclose facial injuries?

That would make sense, but I would expect a reconstruction to show the face before injuries.

 

[Springrain]

That would make sense, but I would expect a reconstruction to show the face before injuries.

I wonder if (assuming that was the case) the injuries would have been severe enough to completely warp his face and make him unrecognizable? I'm pulling stuff out of thin air here. It's really the only reason I can think of not to release one.

 

[aimeea]

Didn't they say during the police presser that there was no physical trauma to the boy?

 

[Shamrock1]

Even with extensive physical trauma, a reconstruction is possible. (Frank Bender is an example).

 

[Springrain]

Didn't they say during the police presser that there was no physical trauma to the boy?

Well, they said there wasn't any trauma that led to his death, but I'm unsure if that means there wasn't any at all or what?

 

[aimeea]

They also said he was "well taken care of" which I think implied that there were no signs of abuse either (I really wish they would have just been explicit with those details rather than using vague language though, so that we're not all having to guess what that means)

Wild thought, maybe the UID has a living twin whose identity is being protected as LE investigates further? speculation. imo.

 

[carbuff]

None of the statements seem to rule out the possibility of post-mortem damage, either.

jmho ymmv lrr

I believe it was said there were no visible signs of trauma JMO

 

[PromotedPawn]

How would they know that?

Wild thought, maybe the UID has a living twin whose identity is being protected as LE investigates further? speculation. imo.

So they know the identity of a twin of the UID but not the identity of the UID?

 

[HmmMysterious]

So they know the identity of a twin of the UID but not the identity of the UID?

No it was just a theory by dotr

 

[dotr]

How would they know that?

It was just another speculation as to why a reconstruction of the child might not be released at this time.

 

[carbuff]

Most likely is that LE is following strong investigative leads and don't feel like they need the public's help in this case.
