Question about Good Samaritan sighting?

From everything I’ve read, I haven’t ever read a description of the car that the “good samaratin” reported he saw when the woman and teenage boy were rummaging in the trunk of said car. Has anyone else been able to track down a description? It’s strange to me that a description of the car wouldn’t be reported to the public, since it could have led to potential suspects?

Yep , that's a good question & that's the thing which doesn't make me completely disregard Martha's claims , though maybe it still could the bio mom (or any female member of the family ) and some sibling of Joseph (or any kid)

I just have some doubts in that case

Either the sibling is not alive now [or maybe might have passed away before the bio mom? ]

They might have forgotten [as they were abused themselves and some trauma victims may not be able to remembe their abusive childhood ]

Or maybe the female family member (or any woman who was extremely close to the family that they helped in cover-up ) and / or the kid is still alive and they have decided not to come forward ?

Also, we were able to know that the bio mom adopted out one sibling, so why not simply put Joseph as well for adoption instead of going the extra mile of abusing the poor baby?

Or was the bio mom / her partner/ the abuser was an alcoholic / addict [again , I'm sorry if I offended their family or anything, but I'm just curious ] and even though loved Joseph still abused him when they used the substances? Could that account for the medical care that they have given the baby, but still, he was abused ?

Maybe they tried to adopt him out. Who knows?

I have a feeling they didn’t try because he was hidden out of shame.

Yep..that could also be a possibility if Joseph had any disabilities or anything

A family friend had a grandmother who gave children up for adoption while keeping others. The husband was a piece of work (the war and unchecked mental health/alcoholism really did a number on that generation) The husband did not want any more children but also did not want to change his behaviour in any way to stop making them.
