[Guess Who]

Wondering why they would be staying dod was prior to 2020 when she had a mask that wasn't just a standard issue medical mask. Wouldn't most of us state it was 2020 at the earliest?

It's a pretty big time gap 2018-2023. She may have had breathing problems. I've seen people wear them because of that. But they can't tell with an autopsy now.

I wonder what her general size was. I did a quick search and found these kid's masks.

I don't think we could even get most of the ones to come up that were available in 2020/21. That definitely looks like the same material.

Question/comment. I thought an ME could at least estimate height from skeletal remains. Is that wrong?

NAMUS says complete or near complete skeleton.

That would depend on what specific remains were left OR their ME is not as qualified as we would expect/hope.

My other pondering is "cannot state hair color". Animals?

or possibly a shipshod examination due to where she was found? This happens much more frequently than it should.

Could be. That's a shame.

"Laniel was last seen in July of 2022 when police were asking for help in finding her. "

It appears that whomever did the "investigating" on this case did no actual work here. They assumed prior to 2020 even though she wore a mask. They said they could not determine height or hair color, too.
