“Little Miss Nobody” who went missing in Arizona desert identified after 62 years

(KYMA, KECY/ NBC News) - A missing girl known as "Little Miss Nobody" has been identified after more than 60 years of having her remains unknown.

The body of a young girl was found by a hiker in the Arizona desert back on July 31, 1960.

At the time she was wearing a checkered blouse, white shorts and adult-size flip-flops that had been cut down to size--her nails were also painted red.

No one could identify her badly burned body or figure out how she had died so she became known as "Little Miss Nobody".

After 62-years, investigators were able to use DNA technology to identify her as 4-year-old Sharon Lee Gallegos.

The DNA analysis helped investigators with the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office link her remains to relatives and eventually to a case in Lamogordo, New Mexico where she was identified as a girl who was reported missing on July 21, 1960.

This now becomes the oldest cold case that the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has ever helped solve.
