Unidentified remains of a young girl found in the Lincoln County woods​

The remains of a girl between ages 6 ½ and 10 have been discovered along the H.B. Van Duzer Forest State Scenic Corridor in rural Lincoln County, Oregon State Police announced Tuesday.

Detectives are seeking the public’s help identifying the child. Her remains were found in the area of the scenic rest stop along the heavily wooded corridor, which winds through Oregon 18 from northwestern Polk County to Lincoln City.

Authorities say they are unaware of any reports of missing children matching the girl’s description.

The girl was about 3-foot-10 to 4-foot-6-inches tall and her hair was long and either dark brown or black. Her race or ethnic origin has not yet been determined. The results of a DNA analysis are not yet complete, state police said.

The condition of the remains suggests the girl had been dead for at least 30 days before being found Dec. 10. State police have not released the cause or manner of death.


“It is very rare to find a child that law enforcement cannot identify very quickly,” said Carol Schweitzer, supervisor of the forensic services unit of the center.

She said instances of unidentified remains of children under age 11 typically don’t have associated missing persons reports.

“When we are talking about children under the age of 11, we find the biggest hurdle to get over is they are not reported missing the majority of the time,” she said. She cited several reasons, such as the potential involvement of the child’s caretakers or custody arrangements where the non-custodial parent may be unaware the child is missing.

“There are a lot of family dynamics that may be involved,” she said.

Over 180 tips received after girl's remains found in rural Oregon
Oregon State Police said they have received and investigated more than 180 tips from the public, law enforcement and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children after a girl’s remains were found in Lincoln County in December.

According to Oregon State Police, investigators have been able to exclude 61 individuals from being the child whose remains were recovered.

Investigators say they are still actively working to identify the girl, and are reviewing information regarding missing children. Several different investigative efforts are underway, including DNA analysis, according to OSP.

Officials say a sketch with the updated race and genetic details will be released when the DNA information is released.

Well kudos to them as they seem to be actively checking and excluding, etc. I hope whoever is responsible for her being there is sweating bullets.

In an effort to refocus the public’s attention and reduce duplicative tips, OSP is now prepared to publicly exclude the following reported missing children from our investigation:

• Dulce Alavez, age 6, from Bridgeton, NJ
• Addyson Gibson, age 12, from Portland, OR
• Noelle Johnson, age 7, from Portland, OR
• Niayah Bylenga (AKA Niayah Crawford), age 7, from Pendleton, OR or Ritzville, WA
• Tarie Price, age 8, from Gretna, NE
• Breasia Terrell, age 10, from Davenport, IA

In addition to this list, her NamUs Profile also rules out Serenity Dennard and Alicia Navarro.

I believe the only children still missing from the above list are Dulce and Tarie. The rest have been located.

Police: Little girl found dead in duffel bag in Oregon woods likely never reported missing

NEWPORT, Ore. (KVAL) — Investigators have developed new information about a girl found dead inside a duffel bag stashed in the forest near the H. B. Van Duzer Forest State Scenic Corridor. Her body was found on December 10, 2020 - and police do not believe anyone ever reported her missing. She...

Police: Little girl found dead in duffle bag in Oregon woods likely never reported missing​

"With the assistance of Parabon Nanolabs, investigators now know more identifying details which will hopefully assist in her identification," police said Thursday.

• Age: 7 – 9
• Eye color: Hazel / Brown
• Hair color: Brown / Black
• Skin color: Light Brown / Fair with no freckles
• Race: She has been identified as mostly Caucasian with some Central American ancestry

State police additionally revealed that the girl was wearing a pull-up diaper

"The Oregon State Police has been working in partnership with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) since the discovery of the child’s remains. Over the past six months, detectives have definitively ruled out more than 60 potential missing kids from information provided by NCMEC and tips from the public," police said in a statement. "While investigators continue to work in partnership with NCMEC, there is a strong likelihood this child has not been reported missing.

Investigators would like the public to know, we are already considering all children listed on the NCMEC website and therefore, there is no need to contact the Oregon State Police to highlight those names."

With Parabon on her case, I am very hopeful that she will be identified.
Wish it could have been as quickly as little Liam (boy found near Las Vegas last month).

2 women arrested in Michigan, charged with murder of girl found in bag in Oregon woods

Two women faces charge of Aggravated Murder in connection with the body of a little girl found last year in the woods near a rest area along the H.B. Van Duzer Scenic Corridor in Lincoln County, Oregon.

The deceased girl was identified as Haley Mae Coblentz.

Coblentz was 9 at the time of her death. Born in Colorado, she was living with her biological mother and mother’s girlfriend in multiple places in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest since 2015, according to police.

"She was not reported as a missing person at the time of her death," police added.

With the assistance of the Detroit FBI, Oregon State Police located Haley’s mother, 29-year-old Shawna Browning, and 34-year-old Lauren Harrison in Detroit, Michigan, on November 30,2021.

Investigators arrested Browning and Harrison and served a search warrant on their vehicle and hotel room. The two are being held without bail in Wayne County, Michigan, pending extradition to Oregon to face charges in the girl's death.

What a beautiful child. What an evil mother and her friend. Aggravated murder? Never reported her missing? And I wouldn't doubt still collecting money for her whether assistance or child support. I wonder where her father is.

May she RIP.

 

[SheWhoMustNotBeNamed]

Apparently this family, along with a young boy, were reported missing in 2016...





Comments on above post from family indicate that they did locate them at one point and returned the boy to his custodial parent. Unfortunately they could not also take Haley as her mother had custody.



Comment on above post from Eagle County Sheriff states: "It's important to note this is not a criminal investigation, and due to jurisdiction, our role is limited to resolving the missing person case by locating and returning Christopher to his custodial guardian. To our knowledge, Haley is lawfully in her mother's custody and we have no reason to believe otherwise."

So they found them but couldn't take the girl? even though the family had no vehicle, was apparently homeless and riding possibly with truck drivers? And she ends up dead. That's awful. It is confusing as it says she did not have custody of either and then said she did of the girl. I wonder if her father tried to get her back or get custody.

Doesn’t sound like any adults in her life were very responsible, does it? How sad!

I go to the general vicinity of where she was found quite often because that’s where the family coastal house is, and it is very rare that I see homeless. In fact, I don’t remember seeing any.

I wonder if they were parked in that area overnight and something occurred while they were there.

Yeah, I can't imagine why you'd take off with two kids only to be homeless and put them through that and kill one. No vehicle to boot. I am wondering if they were in the same circumstances at all times or not. What a terrible life for two kids. To me, you don't want the kids or them to have the best apparently to put them through that--I can only think it was to take them from their fathers/revenge or she received assistance or child support for them. Otherwise why take them?

Two women charged in the death of a 9-year-old girl will soon be extradited from Michigan back to Oregon.

For nearly a year, the little girl didn't have a name, but OSP says it never gave up looking for her identity.

"We were able to give her name back to her. She was nameless for so long and then to be able to make the arrest of the people responsible for her death, it’s bittersweet. It gives you some satisfaction, but it doesn’t bring her back," said Stephanie Bigman with OSP.



Investigators say Detroit FBI helped them by conducting a traffic stop and taking Browning and Harrison into custody.

DA drops charges against women accused of killing and dumping child's body near Lincoln County rest stop

Shawna Browning and Lauren Harrison were both charged with aggravated murder in the case after investigators determined the child's identity.

DA drops charges against women accused of killing and dumping child's body near Lincoln County rest stop​

The twisting case of a young girl discovered dead in a Lincoln City forest in late 2020 took another left turn this week, as county prosecutors dropped charges against the two women who were accused of causing her death.


But on Thursday, Oregon senior assistant attorney general Kurt W. Miller, acting as special deputy district attorney, filed motions in Lincoln County Circuit Court to dismiss both cases "because the matter is under further investigation, and it would be in the furtherance of justice to dismiss at this point."

A judge granted the motions, and aggravated murder charges against Browning and Harrison were abruptly dismissed on Friday. No other charges have been brought in the case.

Since neither woman has been tried, the door remains open for prosecutors to again bring charges against Browning and Harrison for Coblentz's death, but it was not immediately clear what prompted the dismissals or what, if anything, has changed in the course of the investigation.

"At this point" so they might have something but the clock for this charge might be running out and will refile later and reset the clock.

"At this point" so they might have something but the clock for this charge might be running out and will refile later and reset the clock.

It's for aggravated murder isn't it?

 

[GrandmaBear]

"At this point" so they might have something but the clock for this charge might be running out and will refile later and reset the clock.

It could be they don't feel they have enough to make the charge stick yet and the clock is ticking to charge but why not then charge them with something lighter for the moment to keep their arses in jail? Like tampering with a body, neglect or abuse?

 

[GrandmaBear]

It's for aggravated murder isn't it?

Do you mean no statute on murder? I think though it may be because once arrested, the charge has to be brought in a certain time frame or they have to be let go. They can refile when ready I think.

Not sure though why they can't file something smaller in the meantime.

 

[Guess Who]

It could be they don't feel they have enough to make the charge stick yet and the clock is ticking to charge but why not then charge them with something lighter for the moment to keep their arses in jail? Like tampering with a body, neglect or abuse?

The clock is still ticking for any charge and have to have enough evidence for a conviction or they walk on it if found not guilty, just because they jumped the gun.

There is a huge problem right now in Oregon about prosecuting major crimes . I hope this isn’t a part of that issue! I mean, come on! It’s a child here!
