Little Miss Nobody
has been identified using modern DNA technology. Her name is Sharon Lee Gallegos, local police announced.
According to CBS, the authorities said that Sharon Lee Gallegos “was abducted by a man and a woman while she was playing with other children in an alley behind her grandmother’s house in Alamogordo, New Mexico.”
Apparently, the couple had their eye on Sharon for a while. Sharon was taken away in “a dirty, old green car” possibly a dark green 1951 or 1952 Dodge or Plymouth. The authorities are still looking for this couple. They are considered to also be responsible for her death.
A rock-hunting schoolteacher had found the partially decomposed body of the young girl half-buried a short distance from the intersection of Alamo Road and State Highway 93, near the town of Congress, in Yavapai County, Arizona. Highway 93, at the time, was the main route between Phoenix, Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada.
According to original newspaper reports, she was dressed in white shorts and a checkered blouse and had nail polish on her fingernails and toenails. She was wearing adult-sized sandals (flip-flop style) that had been cut down to fit her little feet. The medical examiner wrote in his autopsy report that her body was so badly decomposed that he “could not determine cause of death.”
