I wonder if this doe was undocumented? What do you guys think, since she did have dental care. I might be all wrong.
 
So, what happens once you submit it to NamUs? how long does it usually take before you know something/do they always let you know something?
Sometimes they reply, sometimes they don't. Sometimes the case worker will respond with a "thanks, we're looking into it", or a "thanks its already been ruled out", but sometimes you hear nothing back.
I've submitted things before and heard nothing, but later the persons name showed up on the Rule-Out list. I've also submitted something and heard back both of the above versions, and also heard nothing at all. It really just depends.
 
So, it really just depends on who you get and how busy they are.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I’m seeing so much “me, me, me” in today’s world - young who have been taught that they should do whatEVER they have to do to get what they want/what they think they deserve in this world no matter what that means happening to others because of those actions. Sorry to digress y’all, I’m just so glad there are some selfless people like y’all. There IS a lot of joy to be had in selfless acts. You all, and your work, is much appreciated. I realize hearing that from me isn’t like hearing it from a family or LE, but hopefully it boosts you a little to know many others are noticing.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Mexico has great and affordable (in our opinion anyhow) dental care although I am not sure how accessible or affordable it is to all residents.

What part of California is San Bernadino? I am going to look up if get to it but someone probably knows. I mean is it close to the Mexican border at all?
 
I'm lost. I thought this case was just put on here. Maybe I am thinking of a different one. Or did it just open up for discussion?

Thanks. I thought most of the "Sans" were not in the northern half, Bernadino, San Francisco, San Diego but wasn't sure where exactly Bernadino was. And never did get the chance to look it up so thank you!
