I think the skull found near the motel and this UID are one the same but I could be wrong.

The face mask implies death no earlier than 2020.

'Her car was discovered abandoned on November 18, 2023, at a parking garage in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. An Amtrak ticket had been purchased according to bank records at the Amtrak in Oklahoma City. The investigation later showed her movement from Kansas to Los Angeles where it is believed she may be currently.'

Can skeletal remains be that... skeletalized.... that quickly?

Strangely when I saw this case pop up recently in the NAMUS it reminded me of someone I had gone to school with who's been missing close to a year... mainly due to the clothing... their name was Neo "Trinity" Sommers.. though they've also used the last name Johnson. Really hard for me to really distinguish if it could be them since there's a lack of information on the Doe.. just between the fact they've been missing from the Wichita area since last February and the Jane Doe was only found in Shawnee Oklahoma approx 2-4 hours from Wichita in an abandoned homeless encampment it leaves me wondering. Adding the Doe was skeletalized.

They were also transgender to state.. thought I'd mention since the missing poster could be confusing.

This case makes me so sad, she was quite likely homeless. Imagine being forced to live on the streets while a pandemic is raging- a total nightmare.

People describe a woman who went missing from Checotah and was found dead in Shawnee, as kind and loving.

Checotah Police say Christianna Laniel was reported missing in September of 2022.

Her cousins say she was always a nice person and very giving, even when people weren't nice to her.

Police say the last person to see Christianna was a convenience clerk, and she told that clerk, she was leaving Checotah because she felt nobody wanted her there.

Christianna was from Colorado.

Her family says she was in foster care until about 6 years old when she started living with her cousins.

They call her Christy and say growing up with her, was special.

"Christy was an amazing person she was so funny; she was so smart like she didn't even have to try at anything, and she was naturally so smart," her cousin Katie Roy said.

One of Katie's favorite memories was the time Christy once decided to go trick-or-treating in the summer.

"She's just like I just want to, it sounds fun, we were like you're not going to get any candy doing that Christy, and she comes back maybe like 30 minutes later with like a bag full of candy, we were like 'How did she do that'," Katie said.

Her cousins say Christy had a hard life and she left Colorado about five years ago.

Checotah Police say she was homeless and lived in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Colorado.

"She just wanted to be happy, she was always just trying so hard, she would love everybody expecting it back, and she didn't always get that, it was sad," said her other cousin Jennifer Finger.

After leaving Checotah in September of 2022, her remains were found in Shawnee in December near a motel.

Police say her skull was found sitting on a trash bag.
