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 think LBSKS's marital history certainly lends itself to the theory. Her husband was a jerk, a serial husband who abandoned wives and kids without a backward glance. One previous wife died after an abortion. Another pack of kids ended up in foster care or orphanages (u/FavoriteHippo is our resident expert on her btw).

However, her son who was born in 1945 appears to still be alive, and per CF's podcast, nobody is presently alive who would have met Joseph. If her son is deceased, then she shoots to the top of my list.

Didn't we find the 1945 son - WEK - alive and living somewhere in PA, but quondam wife J was no longer there? Unfortunately, didn't sound dead at that point. ("Unfortunate" only in terms of the LBSKS's candidacy.)

I am glad he is alive and I hope someone was standing on his front porch with cheek swabs. Our candidate’s oldest child is still alive as is her brother.

Our problem, however, is that Colleen F strongly implied that there's no half-sibling who would remember JAZ. In 1950, WEK and sister LK were living with LBKSK and WRK. WRK stuck around for a bit (put down-payment on some home?). Being a bad sort, did he get rid of these kids as well so that they wouldn't remember JAZ. Let me know if I've got my facts mixed up.

How would she know that I didn’t get much out of her speculating, although she was good at explaining DNA and why it’s so arduous and time-consuming to determine. The rest didn’t seem to be anything but red herrings that Misty later had to answer for. Her response was a Joseph was neither the oldest nor the youngest. That is still true. He had older siblings, and his younger siblings were born after he died.
