‘GALVESTON, Texas - Galveston police say they still haven't been able to identify the boy found dead on a beach Friday afternoon despite over a thousand leads which have come in since investigators released a sketch Sunday of the boy.

So far, no tips have panned out, including a suggestion by many that a missing boy from Tennessee looked strikingly like this one

‘Police were hoping for some new information Monday following the autopsy on that little boy. So far they have not said if they've been able to glean anything from the autopsy. There is no word on a cause of death.

Detectives say the description of the boy does not match any missing person cases locally or elsewhere

I’ve just been reading about the difficulty LE can sometimes have trying to identify the remains of international missing persons using DNA:

I'm fluent in spanish so can tell what the boys above were wearing. Was the boy that was found clothed? I'll go back and read but am at work.

Nevermind, it looks like he was found without clothing, likely having come off while in the ocean

He was found nude

Yes the original description was white male but he does look Latino

Its really subjective at times defining "whiteness". That can run a whole gamut of ethnicity and phenotypes. I hope this little guy gets his name back.

Generally, for DNA purposes, Latinx is considered an ethnicity, not a race. It's a subset of Caucasian. Race isn't really a useful construct...

Yes. "white" is not exclusive of latino/hispanic persons.

Posts have been removed. This thread is not about race. It is about an unidentified child.

Stay on topic.

Thanks.
