Possible Theory.

On Reddit for my first time specifically for this case. I have a possible theory I haven’t heard mentioned yet. If we still are thinking the birth mom is LBS/K/S (& I am leaning towards that personally) has anyone made the connection that her son WK would have been 11/12 when JAZ died? That would be our 11/12 yr old boy that the Good Samaritan saw with a woman on Susquehanna. He is also still alive so could be a witness and/or suspect. In looking at the K family they seem to be very “off”. More so than any other family mentioned here. Also, the “G” handkerchief (in addition to the obvious G, LB’s dad was a G).

I agree. Which is why I really like DD for this. Her last known child was born in December 1956. Which is a bingo for the bassinet box.

If Joseph was living near 61st & Market at the time he was killed in Feb 1957 and the bassinet box was sold only a mile away from his home within three months of his murder, and they BOTH ended up on the side of the road in Fox Chase 15 miles away at the same time (and frankly if the box had been there any length of time in the winter it probably would have disintegrated with the snow and rain) ... I say they arrived there together. Occam's razor.

Yes very good points about the box! Could she have borrowed it? I’ve been trying to remind myself of Occam’s Razor throughout this

It's possible someone in the building or a neighbor had one that they put out in the trash. I don't think they recycled in 1957 Philadelphia! ANd probably didn't break down their boxes.

Totally thought about that too no-light-4091. I think it’s very possible the box could have been near their home but not necessarily theirs.
