Wow. No PMI estimate. I wonder if they have compared the skull against St Louis Jane Doe? She was located in 1983 but was decapitated and her head was never located. She was estimated to be 8-11 years old so a little younger than this estimate but only a couple of hours away...

I wish there was more information regarding how and where this skull was found and why it was just added to NamUs.

I tried to find more information on the Internet, but for skulls of unknown children found in 2013 in Missouri, I just found NamUs UP11725 (Pulaski county, near Dixon.) So we should keep in mind they are two different cases when seeking information about this one.

Thank you, @Romulus . I see I forgot to add the NamUs link in the original post.

I hope this child is identified soon.

"The unidentified person is represented by a complete skull."

They should contact NCMEC, it would really help out the case.

No updates for this case - I wonder if NCMEC or @CarlK90245 could do a reconstruction, the full skull was recovered according to Namus.
