Circumstances of Discovery

A family searching for rocks discovered the body of a female child partially buried in the creek bed of a sand wash on Old Alamo Road, 1.5 miles from Highway 93.

The community provided the child with a funeral service and burial.

Over the years, she has been linked to various missing children. One of the most prominent speculations is that she is Sharon Lee Gallegos. Four-year-old Sharon was abducted on July 21, 1960, from an alley behind her home by a man and a woman. It is believed they had been stalking her for a few days. However, authorities believe Little Miss Nobody was older than Sharon. Furthermore, a couple of reports say the girls’ footprints were compared and did not match.
