I’m going to post a few lesser known Does. Here’s my first one. VERY little is known about this woman.
All I know is that she was decomposing by the time she was found. All they can tell is that she was an adult.

Known Info
Sex: Female
Location: Caguas, Puerto Rico
Age: Adult (no further info.)
Height: 4’4” (133 cm), measured
Weight: 70 lbs (32 kg), measured
PMI: Not available. Based on the state of her remains I’d say she was probably dead for a couple days.
State of Remains: Not recognizable. Decomposing/putrefaction

The woman was found dead on a street after the neighbors complained of a foul odor outside, according to the description on Namus. She has no photo or reconstruction or sketch. Nothing. She’s just there. We don’t even have an idea what she looks like. All we know is that she was TINY! 4’4” and 70 pounds! That’s about as big as an average 8 year old child. This is an adult woman. Although I do know Latinos tend to be a bit on the shorter side.

She has no notable scars or tattoos. There is no clothing described as being found near or on the woman. Makes sense, we don’t even know what she looks like as I said. Her hair color is unknown, but we know she has brown eyes.

Nothing is known about her besides her height, weight, eye color, location found, and that she was indeed a woman and not a little girl.

Based on her size I wonder if she had her growth stunted as a result of a medical condition. Perhaps she grew up in poverty. Malnutrition can stunt a child’s growth and delay puberty. Delayed puberty can also explain her being so light. Perhaps she didn’t develop properly, and as a result of delayed puberty her chest area was unable to grow properly, and/or she didn’t experience normal bodily changes. Many women I have seen in that 4’2”-4’6” range are about 80-85 pounds. She was just 70 pounds. Maybe she was a little person. People with the most common form of dwarfism, achondroplasia, are usually 3’9” to 4’6”. She’s a bit tall to be a dwarf but it’s possible! Maybe she was just really small! I know it’s rare but entirely possible for a grown woman to be 4’4” with no medical conditions. I have a friend who’s 4’5”. She’s eighteen and very much done growing.

I hope someone releases more about this woman. Her chances of being ID’d are pretty slim, so we need y’all to work your magic! Her height may be quite distinctive.

I wonder if that's a typo and they meant 5"2 instead of 52 inches

She was 70 pounds! I’m sure it wasn’t a typo. It’s definitely possible but rare.
Edit: Could be a typo but I’m sticking to my guns of it not being so. I’ve seen some TINY female UIDs. One UID in 1992 LA I believe? She was 4’6”! And those remains in the cemetery In Massachusetts? That woman was 4’7”! Although there is one guy found in PR where they listed him as being 72’0”. I think they meant to put that he was 6’0” (72 inches).

It's definitely possible that she could have been 4'4", however her being 70lbs could be from decomposition.

Yes, you make a good point here. They mentioned she was in a state of putrefaction when they found her. If she was in fact 4’4” she could have been closer to 80-90 pounds in life, a normal and healthy weight. 70 pounds is quite thin even for 4’4” unless it’s a prepubescent child. I was 4’4” and 60 pounds at 11, I was a late bloomer so no signs of puberty at all. I’m now 5’2” and 110 pounds.

I initially was thinking about this woman as a potential match but she has tattoos and Jane Doe does not.

Dolores Raygoza vs Jane Doe
Missing + found: 2017, 2018
From: CO (transient), PR
Height: 4’8”, 4’4”
Weight: 80, 70
Age: 46, over 18

Since she’s a transient I could imagine her going to PR but the UID has no tattoos listed.
I would 99% rule Dolores out.

Since she’s only listed as “adult” she could be young or old. Here’s an old woman, possibly her but since this old woman has possible Alzheimer’s disease she probably would’ve been transported to PR with someone. I still would suggest her as a possible match.

She disappeared in 2001 so it’s unlikely but I feel like since she just disappeared she may have been kidnapped.

Ernestina Madrigal: The National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs)

EM vs JD
67 (at time of disappearance, in 2018 aged 84), 18-99
4’5” vs 4’4”
120 vs 70 (decomposed)
Both have brown eyes
