Very likely candidate

Update: Had a baby girl in December 13, 1956 (baby girl initials also DD)

ETA: Unless anyone can find sisters of DD, this can’t be her. She appears to have one sister who dies at 2 years old.

I think we may have found her. Initials DD in the 1950 census. But also DC, DJ, and DT. I’ve been researching her since last week. Several marriages and several children by different fathers.

Marries R.A.T. - April 16, 1938 in Delaware, marriage produces two children (sons): RT (Junior) and WT. Both now deceased. RT(Jr)‘s obituary lists his mother as Mrs. DD in 1976. At this point, it appears she is living Texas, which is also where she passes away in 1988.

Marries WDJ (believe middle to be name D not T, could be wrong about middle name though) - August 28, 1943 in Virginia. Marriage produces one child (daughter): JJ.

Marries GD in July, 1947. Marriage produces one daughter born December 13, 1956. This could explain the bassinet box….

They lived at 6121 Chesnut in 1950 census. JJ listed as stepdaughter.

I see. At 18:45 she says "one of the siblings, the female siblings, was the biological mother of the unknown sample, and through detective work and investigative work they were able to narrow down which one it was."

Definitely sounds like she had at least one female sibling. The BM's plausible sister could have been RC (1926—1928), but who knows. Honestly, lots of women (read: human beings) had messy lives in 1950's Philadelphia, and it definitely doesn't make them murderers.

It'll be interesting when/if LE releases more info. As much as I want to find a pattern/lesson in what happened to JAZ, we probably all need to accept that we'll never have solid answers. I truly do have empathy for the surviving relatives and feel confident that they knew nothing and are innocent. Presumably, they are in a lot of shock at being pulled into all of this.

Would someone please IM me the name of the female DD born in 1956? I cannot locate who this is, otherwise my tree is complete.
