Yes it’s a little inconvenient to use, but I think it’s cool 😊

Could UP4976 be Andres Vasquez? There are no pictures of Andres available.

On June 24, 2008, Andres Vasquez left the Valley of the Moon's Children's Center in Santa Rosa California and wasn't seen or heard from again.

Andres was 14 years old, 5 ft tall, and 110 lbs at the time of his disappearance. According to Santa Rosa PD, Andres was from Oaxaca, Mexico, and was working at a local winery with his brother to finance a home there. He had only been in the United States for about a year.

On March 14, 2009, partial skeletal remains were discovered under thick brush near an intersection in Wimauma, Florida. The remains were of a boy estimated to be between 12-16 years old and between 4’9” and 5’4” ft tall.

A forensic anthropologist found evidence of heavy manual or agricultural labor on the remains. They also determined that he was likely born in Guatemala or Mexico, specifically the Oaxaca region.

Does the distance make this match unreasonable? There's no information I could find about where Andres might have gone or what might have happened to him.

This is my first time attempting to make a match so I hope I include the correct information.

Vanessa Irene Harris was last seen at 4704 Frederick Ave, Baltimore, Maryland on March 22, 2015. She reportedly went for a walk and never returned.

Partial skeletal remains belonging to a black female were found in a vacant residence on August 13, 2024, in the 1600 block of McKean Ave, Baltimore, Maryland, about 4.2 miles from where Vanessa was last seen.

Vanessa was 5' 0"-5' 1" tall

UP135197 was 5' 0"-5' 1" tall

Vanessa was 48 years old

UP135197 was estimated to be 30-40 years old

Vanessa had brown eyes and short black hair

UUP135197 had brown eyes and short black hair.

Considering the remains were skeletal and this reconstruction might be AI??? I do see a resemblance.

Neither have any exclusions listed. Is this a match worth submitting? Is it possible her remains would be found 4 miles away nearly a decade later?

Update!!: I wasn’t sure if I should make a separate post for this but I’ve already received an email back from the Doe Network. A comparison between the two has not been done and the panel will be looking into it.
