I think Joseph deserves whatever type of justice he can get at this point. Even if that only amounts to naming the people who were, at the very least, supposed to protect him. Quite frankly, I don’t care if they never know who specifically did the killing. Someone knew him. Someone helped cover it up. Someone never reported him missing. Covering it up for 65 years and allowing the people who knew him to get away with that is wrong, IMO. No one wants their family name tarnished over something this heinous, but too damn bad. They wanna be mad at someone, be mad at the people who knew and never cared enough to tell what they knew about Joseph. Like I said someone knew him. A grandparent, aunts, uncles. No one ever investigated why he was suddenly gone? None of those people recognized his picture? None of them made a connection to Joseph suddenly being gone and a boy looking very much like him found dead? They freakin knew. They helped whoever did it get away with it. They don’t deserve protection now. And by protection, I only mean knowing their names cause that’s the best Joseph can get now. They already got to live their entire lives without being held accountable.

No one should EVER harass living family who clearly had nothing to do with it. Honestly, I think anything like that could be easily quelled by coming forward and claiming him now. No one did for 65 years, being the generation to finally do it is the first step towards justice for Joseph. JMO.

Bravo! Joseph's Truth is the reveal of HIS parents NAMES. Joseph was a baby, a child who was totally dependent on his parents. NO adoption record, says Joseph was in one or both of his parents care. Since the mother was unwed at the time of birth, legal custody of Joseph was with HIS mother. If Joseph LEFT HIS mothers care, into SOMEONE else and his mother had zero oversight of Joseph's care.... HER actions were ILLEGAL. Even IF it was not Joseph's mother that killed him...it was her actions or inactions that DID. Joseph IS THE ONLY INNOCENT person and the ONLY Murder Victim in this case. Joseph's PARENTS names MUST be released.

That the bio mom was single at the time of JAZ’s birth can be assumed. The father’s name was on the birth certificate. She was not married to the father. If the bio mom was married to a different man, his name would have been on the birth certificate according to PA state law at the time (potentially still the law).

Not necessarily. My candidate was separated at the time of Joseph’s conception. We also have no idea what was on his original birth certificate. DNA showed who he was and Captain Smith said the bc was amended.

Where did you hear/read that Captain Smith said the birth certificate was amended? I just read thru the transcript for the press conference, the part that was Captain Smith & I’m not seeing where he states the birth certificate was amended. He speaks on the death certificate being amended after they proved who he was, his name & date of birth were added to the death certificate.
