No one knew they were dead for months 

                            Sep 15, 2002
They were missing for months, yet nobody took notice. Till, Mohammed Sajid, a burglar nabbed by the Shahinayatgunj police, mentioned a break-in he had committed some months ago.
Jayaprada, a 56-year-old woman, and her two daughters lived in a two-storey house in Kundanbagh. Neighbours said they last saw the three sometime in June.
Thereafter, they simply vanished. Truth is, all three had died. The police on Saturday recovered their badly decomposed bodies from their house. A bottle of black liquid — presumably poison — was recovered from the room where the bodies were found.
The front door of the house was locked from inside, but a side entrance was not padlocked.
A heap of newspapers from June 21 lay strewn on the verandah near the front gate.
"As poisoning was the apparent cause of death and the temperature was not particularly high, the putrefication took longer than normal. The neighbours never got the smell of rotting flesh," an investigating officer said. The bodies have been sent for autopsy and the liquid is being analysed at a lab.
The rooms had been ransacked and clothes were piled next to the bodies. The almirahs were open and cheque books and documents were dumped on the floor. "It is possible a burglar had entered the house. He saw the three dead women on the bed. He didn't alert the police and came back repeatedly to take away the loot," he said.
Shocked neighbours said the inhabitants of the house were "queer" people. "They would light candles at midnight and walk around the house. The mother would weild an axe and scare away people. They even hung bottles filled with blood on their verandah," one of them said.
"Some students of a nearby college had filed a complaint against this family some two years ago," assistant commissioner of police P Rama Rao said. It is probable that the strange ways of the Jayaprada family kept area residents from making inquiries about their whereabouts. Jayaprada was a native of West Godavari district and was a divorcee.

Researchers at Stanford University have posited that the skeleton belonged to a human girl between 6 and 8 years old, but scientists have not been able to explain the odd proportions and apparent birth defects, including an elongated skull. 

The skeleton has just 10 ribs, whereas a normal human has 12. 


The truth is out there.
After years of analysis, scientists remain puzzled about the origin of a remarkable 6-inch skeleton found in Chile’s Atacama Desert nearly a decade ago, and DNA tests have only heightened the mystery.
The tiny skeleton has an elongated skull that seems plucked from a Hollywood costume department for a film on alien invaders. That remarkable feature caused many people to conclude that the mummified specimen was an extraterrestrial, but DNA testing conducted by researchers at Stanford University suggests the skeleton belonged to a human girl who was approximately 6 to 8 years old.
 
 
As to the misshapen skull, researchers say that DNA analysis turned up birth defects that could, in part, help explain the deformity.

Nine percent of the skeleton’s genes did not match up with a reference human genome.


"While the jury is out regarding the mutations that cause the deformity, and there is a real discrepancy in how we account for the apparent age of the bones … every nucleotide I've been able to look at is human," Garry Nolan, professor of microbiology and immunology at the Stanford University School of Medicine, told LiveScience. "I've only scratched the surface in the analysis. But there is nothing that jumps out so far as to scream 'nonhuman.'"
The minuscule growth rate is just one of the oddities surrounding the skeleton. The specimen, for example, has just 10 ribs, whereas a healthy human has 12, LiveScience reported, and 9% of the skeleton’s genes did not match up with a reference human genome.

The genetic anomaly could be explained by various factors, including degraded testing samples, and the skeleton’s DNA suggested that it belonged to a female human who came from the coast of South America.
There is, however, skepticism in the scientific community as to whether known genetic defects can really explain the proportions of the skeleton’s head and body. None of the mutations associated with primordial dwarfism, for instance, were discovered through DNA analysis.
"There is no known form of dwarfism that accounts for all of the anomalies seen in this specimen," Ralph Lachman, a professor emeritus at the UCLA School of Medicine, wrote in a report on the skeleton.
