Border crosser or recent immigrant? I hope they involve Mexican authorities in this case. Some family needs closure.

Trax shoes are a K-Mart brand, they were sold from the late 70s to the early 90s. Seems possible the remains could have been there for a while, her whole outfit strikes me as pretty retro.

The Resolved cases for Texas only went up by one case since my last check, but there had been 2 UID profiles removed. The other profile that was removed is UP108754, whose identity is known, so it looks like this profile was not counted as resolved.
