II. The FBI's October 8, 1993 Report to the Deputy Attorney General on the Events at Waco, Texas (cached)

Unidentified Branch Davidians From April 19 Fire ... Doe 74, a 7-8 year old child (sex undetermined), died of unknown causes. The body was found in the bunker.

The DOJ Report also states on Page 54:
Although she was probably one of the children who died in the April 19 fire, her body has not yet been identified.

The word "probably" is puzzling. Is the FBI suggesting (or admitting) her death might have been caused by something other than the fire?

III. The April 21, 1994

Cause of death: Undetermined.
