How Did Little Miss Nobody Die? Where Was Little Miss Nobody Found?

On March 14, 2022, it was announced that Sharon Lee Gallegos, a formerly unidentified American murder victim known as Little Miss Nobody has been identified, nearly 62 years after her remains were found.

She died of homicide and her body was discovered on July 31, 1960, in Congress, Yavapai County, Arizona.

Her remains were estimated to have been discovered within one to two weeks of the date of her murder.

Due to the advanced state of decomposition of the child’s remains, the specific cause of death of Gallegos has never been established, although her death has always been considered to be a homicide.

The child had been kidnapped from outside her grandmother’s home in Alamogordo, New Mexico by two unknown individuals ten days prior to the discovery of her body.

Gallegos became known as “Little Miss Nobody” after contemporary efforts to identify her proved unsuccessful and no family or friends came forward to identify or claim her body.

Her 2022 identification is the oldest cold case solved in Yavapai County; efforts to identify her abductors are ongoing.
