Love Ari seems to be a small boutique that is on SM and online but their SM has not been updated since 2022. Their site is also down so I am not sure if they are still in business.

they dont have any weight estimates, but because the pants were a 2XL, i'd wager this UID was overweight or obese.
also, no age range??

Wonder if the orthopedic plates have a manufacturer ID # ?
Sometimes these parts will be stamped..

Terry Barnes had been reported missing only a couple of months prior to her being found in Buffalo Bayou. She was believed to be suffering from a mental health issue which might make her look disoriented.

RIP Terry Barnes

If you look up Terrys missing flier, it's stated she was last seen in pink puff girl pants. I wonder if she took clothes with her or if she was hanging about elsewhere. Not that it really matters!

RIP Terry

Edit: I kinda answered my own question by actually reading the pay properly, possible sighting two weeks after she went missing so quite probable she got clothes elsewhere.
