A girl dubbed “Little Miss Nobody” has been identified some 62 years after her burned body was discovered buried in a remote Arizona desert, authorities said.

The Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office will identify the girl Tuesday during a press conference at a community college in Prescott.

“The unidentified little girl who won the hearts of Yavapai County in 1960 and who occupied the minds and time of YCSO and partner for 62 years will now rightfully be given her name back and will no longer need to be referred to as Little Miss Nobody,” sheriff officials said in a statement. The girl, believed to be between the ages of 3 and 6, was discovered by a teacher searching for rocks in Sand Creek Wash near Congress in July 1960. She had likely been dead for up to two weeks and her body had been burned, KNXV reported.

She will get a Name,
Does the Purp get an
Orange Jumpsuit?

So aside from the proposition that DNA was isolated from the remains I’m not seeing where there’s any proof the girl was actually identified.

Like where’s her name or even the expected disclaimer that her name is being withheld until notification of next of kin?

[PghBaldy]

Probably easier to find usable DNA from her remains than from a murderer in this case?

[knarf]

It’s the comPOST .... waddaya’spect ?

[SuperLuminal]

The perp needs to be burned at the stake...slowly...

[algore]

the video and the article says the body was found next to Congress.

Somehow that is not even ironic

[madison10]

Well, what is her name?

[Fai Mao]

I doubt the murderer is alive.

Her name won’t be revealed until Tuesday’s PR wingding. A story in the local (Arizona) newspaper said she was IDed by means of a DNA match to a living relative. At the time of her death, there was speculation she belonged to a transient family moving thru the area. She was wearing crude sandals cut from a piece of rubber or a larger size flipflop. Very odd.

There’s a good chance the perp is dead.

[markoman]

They’ll announce it tomorrow.

Maybe read? It says they’ll release it Tuesday

[madison10]

Thank you.

[madison10]

I read great article, but missed the announcement paragraph.

[EvilCapitalist]

After 62 years, the perp is probably 6 feet under.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The parents are probably the suspects, if they are still alive.

[Seruzawa]

So even something like this has to become a big media teaser hype. Sick.

Yep. It was a big deal back when it happened. It even has its own Wikipedia entry — “Little Miss Nobody case.” Local media is really milking it.
