An exhibit to send chills down the spine shows the only human remains ever excavated from the pits. The 9000-year-old skeleton is the apparent victim of MURDER - a Chumash Indian-like woman, with her head bashed in.

Or maybe she was the aggressor and the other person killed her in self-defense.

[SunkenCiv]

Probably snuffed by an illegal alien.

[Lee'sGhost]

...La Brea Woman is the oldest known Californian.

I thought that was Nazi Pelosi.

OR

She fell a good distance and bashed her skull

OR

Something fell on her

[Greg F]

Drive by stoning?

[SunkenCiv]

Maybe Islam is older than generally believed, and she was buried to the waist in the tar, then stoned.

[xcamel]

fell in and hit head on rock while getting stoned with illegal mexicans?
(might as well take the whole 9 yards...)

[Graycliff]

Prehistoric divorce?

[Mr. K]

Bush’s fault?

I don’t believe there’s anywhere to fall a good distance at this site. Pretty much flat.

[wildbill]

Obiously she was another street person of Wilshire Blvd who met up with a serial sexual asphalter.

[Vigilanteman]

Her exhibit was removed because the curator, John M. Harris, was worried that this display of historic remains might offend Native Americans or attract attention to her remains . . .

Having worked with these type of people once before in a former life, I can tell you this is PC speech meaning "We don't want to risk another Kennewick Man incident which might expose further truth and cast doubt on our PC theories as to originally might have lived here.

[Greg F]

Kennwick man was a farce. 9,300 years old and the tribes were allowed to claim him and keep scientists from examining the remains. And he was caucasian.
