She did not have pierced ears. She had shorter hair, very curly, with one cornrow, he said. A new composite would not change much, according to Steve McBride, executive director of the Kansas City branch of the National Center for Missing or Exploited Children. The structure of the girl's face would remain much the same, he said. The girl weighed 35 to 40 pounds, was 43 to 45 inches tall and had a chipped tooth.
Community leaders continue to help identify the slain girl.
Volunteers have been handing out fliers featuring the girl's likeness. Posters of the girl have been placed in convenience stores and taped to car windows. Move Up, a community group, has received hundreds of calls, said Deputy Director Calvin Williford. Community activists will hold a rally 10 a.m. Saturday at 59th Street and Prospect Avenue and plan to go door to door handing out fliers with the girl's picture.
