    BACKGROUND

    On November 23rd, 2012, a human cranium was discovered in the desert near Old Topana Road, 3 miles south of Ali Chukson (Little Tucson), Arizona.

    I would just like to note since I was confused at first (though please correct me if I’m wrong!): “Ali Chukson” (O’odham: ʼAli Cuk Ṣon) means “Little Tucson” in the O’odham language, which is why the location of Ali Chukson (and the Doe) is referred to as Little Tucson or Little Tucson Village.

    It is believed the remains belonged to a Hispanic male between 13 to 18 years old. His weight, height, eye colour, and hair colour could not be determined. “It is suspected he had been deceased for several months and may have died as early as 2011.” (NCMEC)

    (*Currently, I am focusing mostly on cases of migrants who passed when crossing the Mexico-United States border. A lot of these cases have very little information provided.*)

    NOTES – Things to note or discrepancies found during research

    • 1 LOCATION OF DISCOVERY – NamUs and NCMEC state that he was discovered in Little Tucson (Ali Chukson), but searching the coordinates says that it is in Ali Molina, but if you search the road that he was found very close to, it says it is located in Sells. I just wanted to note this.

    It is believed the remains belonged to a Hispanic male between 15 to 25 years old. His weight, height, eye colour, and hair colour could not be determined.

She also had 200 Mexican pesos, a small mirror with a photo of Charlize Theron on the back, a tin of “Clotriplex” cream, a tan bottle that I cannot read/make out any words on but it seems like some sort of moisturizer or beauty product, a white charging cord, and a white charging block.

    BACKGROUND

    On December 11th, 2023, skeletal remains were found on BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land, West of Santa Teresa, New Mexico. Only a skull, mandible, spine, ribs, and clothing were found.

    The victim is believed to be a Hispanic woman between 22 to 43 years old. She stood approximately 4’9” to 5’7” in height. Her weight, hair colour, and eye colour could not be determined.

    On NamUs, it states “UP136066 and UP127517 were found in the same vicinity and may be related.” There is no further information regarding this, but I will do a write up of #UP136066 soon as well.

    Clothing found nearby were a black t-shirt with a graphic of a white clothes hanger which had a heart and the word “LOVE” in red, white, and blue, hanging from the hanger, dark coloured jeans, underwear, a dark coloured bra with lace detail, black tennis shoes/sneakers, and black ankle socks with blue heels and toes. I will note that in the images provided on NamUs, three shoes are shown; two of the ones I believe are the black, possibly size 36 ones noted in the items found, and one of a different kind that is not mentioned otherwise.

    BACKGROUND

    On February 12th, 2025, partial skeletal remains were found in the remote desert West of Ajo, Arizona.

    NamUs states “Skeletal elements were discovered in a remote desert location by private citizens (USBP)”

    Authorities believe that the remains had been at that location for 2 to 15 years prior to discovery.

    The victim is believed to be an adult (pre 60 years old) Hispanic male. Due to the condition of his remains, his race, weight, height, eye colour, and hair colour could not be determined. He was missing the first molars on the right and left side of his lower jaw.

    Nearby, a red collared sweater with snap buttons “to be worn down or snapped up as a turtleneck”, white tennis shoes/sneakers, and a gray blanket with stripes were found.

    (*I will be doing a lot of cases of Doe’s who likely passed when crossing the Mexico-United States border. A lot of these cases have very little information provided.*)

    BACKGROUND

    At around 3:30 p.m., on July 21st, 2025, a woman was struck and killed in a hit-and-run when crossing the street “…at the intersection of Wainwright Circle near Edgewood Avenue” in Jacksonville, Florida. Authorities responded and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The person that hit the woman did not stop after hitting her and then fled the scene. I will note that one or two sources claim that she was transported to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead, by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office do state that she was found deceased at the scene of the crime. Some also state that the hit-and-run occurred between 3:00 and 3:30 p.m., while the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office state that it was “around 3:30 p.m.”.

    The authorities discovered that the person who hit and killed the woman was named Durrell Bradley. Bradley was arrested in early August of 2025. On August 15th, 2025, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office stated that Bradley was being held at the “…John E. Goode Petrial Detention Facility (Duval County jail) facing a felony charge for leaving the scene of a deadly crash”, but I am unsure what happened after this.

    The victim is believed to be an adult African American woman. She weighed 139 pounds and stood at 5’4” to 5’6” in height. She had brown eyes and black, short, curly hair. She also had a tongue piercing and both of her nipples pierced. She had a possible birthmark on the right side of her abdomen.

    She was found wearing a black sleeveless tube dress. She also had white metal jewellery in her tongue piercing and both of her nipple piercings.

    Sadly, there is not much more information about this woman or her case.

    CLOTHING/ITEMS – On the body, the following was noted

    • Black sleeveless tube dress (No brand or size noted)
    • White metal tongue ring
    • White metal nipple rings

    IDENTIFIERS – I could not find any information regarding identifiers

    • Dentals: Unknown
    • Fingerprints: Unknown
