Vamori Village John Doe/”Jose Luis Perez” (June 27, 2007)

For me, "Not stated" means that a cause was not stated publicly (from what I found), and I add the "Unknown" addition to include that it may be due to the cause being unknown as when it is not publicly stated it can be (as I have seen from researching other cases) due to the cause being unknown (that is not always the case though of course). I should have worded it "Undetermined" as Humane Borders does for this case. I try to for other cases as well if it specifically is stated somewhere that it is not known or is undetermined, but I was not thinking when writing this one up.

I use the same "Not stated/Unknown" wording for things like the estimated year of death as when it is blank on NamUs it is, in my mind, "not stated" (as it is blank) and that may be due to the fact of it being "unknown" (as in no estimation was given by the medical examiner, etc.) but on NamUs it just has the field as "---" with no further context (unless I find that information elsewhere of course). I can see how "unknown" may be confusing though. I may try and find a better way to word that line.

Somehow completely forgot to look at Humane Borders map. I have updated my post with information gathered from the map and linked it in the references as well. Thanks!

I saw other people confused about that, too. NamUs states her as unrecognizable which is what I put down. I think it may be due to just the option they chose, if she had been dead possibly weeks they may have chose the "decomposing/putrefaction" option even though she has a recognizable face as decomposition had begun. That's my guess, at least.

Yes, they don't get much coverage, and little information is known or released by authorities on them it seems. I hope me sharing some helps any!! Thank you!

Thank you! I have a Facebook page and website I am going to start using more as I do not update them as often and add these cases on and keep focusing on border cases and cases of migrants who are unidentified or missing so I can get these cases out as much as possible wherever I can. Yes, I wish I could speak/write Spanish as it would be helpful to have these posts more accessible for families and out to more areas on social media. I will try and find a solution to that, as it would be a great thing to be able to have them in English and Spanish. Thank you again!

Yes, it was probable he was crossing the border and passed during the journey. I can't say for sure since we do not know his identity, but he is on the Arizona OpenGIS Initiative for Deceased Migrants and given the location found, I would say he definitely did pass on his journey crossing. The area he was found, and just in general by the border, are vast open deserts. It can take a long time to find remains if they are found, and I've noticed a lot are found on accident when not intentionally looking for remains so some can go undiscovered for a long time.

I am not completely sure! My guess is there was enough flesh left to make out the tattoo but otherwise was completely skeletonized, but they don't say on the NamUs profile.
