The pelvic rim & sacrum were fully mature,
so this girl was at least 18, and Maples recorded no sign of "recent
development." For all intents and purposes, Maria was 19 years
old, and considered an adult. Dr. Levine noted that the root tips
of No. 6's molars were not fully grown which would bring
the average low of her age to 19. Maples also mentioned that No.
6 had the broadest bone structure of the girls' remains, which
immediately reminds us of Maria. Tatiana's bones were FAR from big.
One
thing that doesn't fit perfectly is that No. 6's collarbone
was complete. This is the reason Maples labeled her as Tatiana.
Generally one's collarbone matures at about 20, and Marie had
only just turned 19 the month prior to her death. However, we
must take in for account the fact that everyone develops differently.
There is a small chance of the collarbone being developed by 19.
It would be on the low end of the average but it's still a possibility.
All that considered this is certainly not Anastasia,
as No. 6 is buried as in the Fortress of Sts. Peter and
Paul in the old Tsarist Capital of Russia.
Anastasia could only be no. 5
Maria could be no. 5 or no. 6
Tatiana could only be no. 6
Maria is the keystone to the
problem, if we know where Maria is,
everything else falls into place.
Therefore, to prove that Tatiana
is missing,
we must prove that Maria is no. 6.
