Something's not right with the dates. Philly UID Case numbers start with the year found. Here, the ME/C # is 94-1843 but the date found is April 20, 1992. So there's a typo on one or the other. I've emailed NamUs about this one and another I found to see if the info can be validated.

ME/C number has been corrected. Now reads 92-1843 so it corresponds with the year found.

Namus doesn't seem to indicate if the UID was killed and placed in the house, or thought to be homeless/squatting or using the premises for other purposes like drug use. She's got zero ruleouts in Namus which is sad as I feel like there are probably so many missing black women that should be compared, but they just aren't represented in the stats.

Thanks @CCJD so no apparent injuries, maybe she was someone without a home.
