Body found in Texas likely that of young Arizona girl

PHOENIX — A body found in Texas was likely a young girl from southeastern Arizona, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children said Thursday.
The center said pollen found on her skeletal remains showed she was likely from Arizona, though she could also be from a nearby region in Mexico.
The girl, who was between 2 and 6 years old when she died, was found wrapped in garbage bags inside of a black suitcase in Madisonville, Texas about one year ago.
The agency said a feeding tube was among the remains. The girl likely suffered from micrognathia, a condition in which the jaw is undersized and the person can struggle to eat on his or her own. It was likely she would need lifelong medical attention.
Officials were unsure if the girl was Caucasian or Hispanic. She had dark hair and was wearing a pink dress and a diaper.
Anyone with information on the girl was asked to call the center at 800-THE-LOST.

The bonuses are the main issue behind this it seems. I guess the standard is 14 days, some of the PAR or PART (Performance and Accountability Reports) show that they had standards of getting 97%+ seen in 14 days. It isn't due to funding, which the VA website shows has increased over 100% in last 9 years,....
We have a government agency that is too big to be efficient, federal employees who have no fear of losing jobs (a federal worker is more likely to die on the job than be fired or laid off - fact), and bonuses that are just a matter of moving things around to appear like things are great and to collect the $$$
Very sad that this girl passed. I hope they find the parents or whomever did this to her.
The question for Shinseki is: What have you been doing all these years as head of the VA while all this has been going on? Oops you caught me doing nothing but trust me I will do something now should be enough to get him fired.
